I just noticed that SL was not at swing high/low, so I fixed.
Here is the same test using the fixed version.

Looks a good system but the choppy sideways market might kill you, anyone know how to deal with that?

Thank you Sam

This pattern is a very good signal for scalping on Dax or gbp-jpy for examples, in range, when chinkou passes in front of a market trough. Khalid El Bouzidi (a great master of ichimoku) discribed this type of trading in his book. Very reliable configuration.

Dax, one minute chart:

I'd like to see what the strategy does with a TS set for 1:1 R/R. Might kill off big runners, but might also catch some pips before price reverses and hits SL.

I covered some stuff on "V' set ups a few years back on the Kobol thread. It gained little interest back then, but I'm always aware of the formation when I look at potential entries.

Any t/f and pair can be effective applying the general V "shape" principle, and will not always need to be a perfect V.

I personally prefer a line chart to easily visualise when looking at the shape setting up. Each to their own of course, but as the guy in the video said, no need to add everything under the sun.

Here's an NU h4 chart for example, showing 4 possible entries which would have been reasonably easy to detect without too much fuss.

OK. I prefer to see it as an indicator (never used expert) and trade manually.

This is stunning piece of work Abokwaik , I hope we all get together and scan all pairs/TF for the perfect 4-5 pairs before any one start on his live account!

Now I have no further request except if you can throw a piece of money management calculator that defines risk % based on equity to decide position size in comparison to SL price

I attached a small indicator if that could be helpful.

Again, truly thankful

Hi Alicia

I suggest to install the indi ( post 31 ) and watch the chart of your preferred pair on daily or H4 before trying the EA
Next step is to trade manually
after that you decide on proper setting
we will help you then,

My Regards

I ran a few tests for Jan 2017 - to the present and they looked great, like this equity curve. So I went back and tested for 2 years and the picture changed.
