20 PIPS DAILY CANDLESTICK BREAKOUT FOREX STRATEGY TRADING RULES

It is advised that you do not trade if the daily candlestick breakout happens during the Asian forex trading session. Why? Because, it usually has low trading volume and lack the the momentum required to accelerate price movement.

But if the daily candlestick breakout happens during the London forex session, there’s a great chance that whatever the breakout direction price makes will be the direction it will maintain for that day.

 

Buying Rules:

1. Place buy stop pending order 2-3 pips above the high of the daily candlestick.
2. Place your stop loss 20 pips
3. Place your take profit target 20 pips.
4. Repeat the process next day

Selling Rules:

1. place a pending sell stop order 2-3 pips below the low of the daily candlestick
2. place your stop loss 20 pips
3. place your take profit target 20 pips
4. repeat the process the next day.

HERE’S THE TRADE EXAMPLE:

ADVANTAGES OF THIS FOREX STRATEGY

• this forex strategy would suit a housewife forex trader who stays at home and looks after children as it takes less time and less effort because its a set and forget trading system
• or it can suit a trader that has a day job and has no time to watch the charts so before you go to work, just place your pending orders and go to work. Check the next day what happened…
• many traders trade the breakouts of the highs and lows of daily candlesticks so if a high/low breakout happens, there’s likely chance of your profit target being hit easily because its just only 20 pips.

DISADVANTAGES OF THIS DAILY BREAKOUT FOREX TRADING STRATEGY

• in a low volume/volatility period (mostly happens in asian trading session but sometimes can also happen in london and new your trading session), you may get a breakout that will trigger your pending order but then price heads the opposite way once that order is triggered and you will get stopped out.
• 1:1 risk reward. I really don’t like trading systems that give one to one risk to reward. This means that for every 100 dollars you risk trading, you win 100 dollars (if you win). But having said that, you may like it, that’s why I’ve shared this forex strategy with you here 🙂
