EurUsdcountertrend_v19 is a candle close strategy, which trades only
the EurUsd pair based on buying when the maket is bearish and selling
when the market is bullish - making use of retracement. It trades on a
1 minute chart. For this I use the indicators: fibonacci pivot points
- set to 1 hour, and RSI_14, set to 4hour. The market is deemed
bullish when the price is above pivot Resistance1 (below Resistance3)
in a 1 hour period and RSI_14 is above 60 in a 4 hour period - it
sells when a 1 minute candle closes between Fib pivot Resistance 1 and
fib pivot Resistance 3 on an hourly chart and RSI_14 is above 60 on a
4hr chart. Vice versa it will buy when a 1 minute candle closes
between fib pivot Support1 and Support3 on an hourly chart, and RSI_14
is below 40 on a 4hr chart. SL is 142 pips because the area wherein
the trade is activated has a variable range based on where pivot and
resistace/support levels are due to previous price action. TP is 8
pips in this version because it trades against the market direction
and I want to catch small retracement only, also smaller trades makes
it possible for the strategy to shift from bearish to bullish market
on time without getting stuck in a single trade. Also in version 18 it
became clear that 5 pips was a bit too little and strategy can take 8
pips and still make the required number of trades. In this version lot
size increases with every trade because I set the lot size at 25
milion and maximum equity is used on each trade to fully profit from
the small trades. The strategy opens about 20-30 positions a month
based on backtesting.
