Even till now this strategy still slays... especially for newbies

It's a great little strategy.

I know some people have said about taking profits at 1:1

I quite like to move my stop to break even at 1:1 and let the market decide if it's going to be a big day or not.

I've been taken out at BE quite a few times, which yes it's frustrating. But I've had days where it's run 4 or 5 R. Which on a 100k funded account is pretty lucrative stuff after a while.

Thanks Minotawr for this strategy. May you R.I.P if what I have read is true.

Yes EMA looks flat.. not showing the clear direction.

I've just started testing this strategy so far looks fine. How was your experience in this? and the symbol changer indicator looks great, is't for mt4 or mt5? can you share this indi with template if possible?

you need to test during ranging markets because its there you will see the weakness of this idea.
suggest to have a strong money management to resist during difficult times.

EMA looks like that but the structure look like a down trend. I just did backtesting and for me worked fine.

Well then... and thank you for the template. Can you share the symbol changer indicator file? symbol changer is showing in template file and not working - I need to include the indicator in indicators folder.

Try and be a bit more selective I would suggest.

I caught a nice move on EUR/AUD today.

So don't use the strategy in ranging. Find the steep trends. Only take a trade if the trend is steep. They are allways hit by 2 or more bounces and when you expect a bounce, then use this strategy to identify when to get in to the trade.
Another bonus by trading steep trends is, that you can use bigger RRW, because the trend is likely to continue after the bounce.
MetaTrader 4 - so many advantages.

Yes, you may find some big profits, at times, that way. You might even do very well, over the long run.

But overall, your equity-curve is inevitably going to be FAR less smooth, that way, and many people really find that hard to handle in both obvious and not-so-obvious ways.

{quote} So don't use the strategy in ranging. Find the steep trends
English is not my native language and I don't want to be rude, so guys please understand me right: if some can "see a trend" and "be sure" it's a pullback (not a change of the direction), then he doesn't need any so called "system" - he just enter "in the direction of the trend". But show me a trader that can say "THIS is the trend and it begins|continues, I'm SURE".

But if we have to add the words "you need the trend" or "it works only in a trend" or #youneedacommonsense (sorry) in the system rules then it equals "sometimes it works but we don't know when to use".
Just an opinion. Based on research
