Works on standard account (no ECN needed).
It was optimized on a small amount of data (8 months of 2024), but the backtest shows great results on a long backtest run using real ticks.
How the Strategy Works:
The strategy leverages market calmness before the US session to place two pending limit orders based on the day's high and low prices. This method ensures precise entry points and efficient profit management.
A Buy and Sell Limit order is placed at the high/low of the day right before the US trading session.
Each trade is protected with a Stop Loss (SL) to manage risk.
No more than two trades are executed per day. Pending orders that are not triggered are expired after a specified number of hours.
All positions are closed at a predefined time to avoid overnight risk. (this is disabled in default settings by setting 24th hour)All Take Profits (TPs) and Stop Losses (SLs) are based on the percentage of the gold price. If the gold price changes significantly, the input parameters remain effective and do not require adjustments.
