Daily Reversal is a reliable scalping strategy which takes advantage of larger trend reversals. It draws a range every day of the body of the previous daily candle and places pending orders according to whether the previous day was bullish or bearish. Then, it uses multiple trailing stop losses to manage all of the positions. Daily Reversal includes a prop firm mode, our recovery system and also has a news filter to further protect your capital against volatile events.
We care about trying to provide a consistent edge in the market for our clients, using proven strategies and techniques, rather than using buzzwords like ‘AI’ or ‘neurons’ and showing perfect equity curves. We offer lifetime support for verified customers in order to ensure everyone can get the most out of our products.
Across all our algorithms, we recommend using the IC Markets Raw Spread account for the best results due to the very low spreads and strong reputation. You can create an account here. If you’re in the United States and can’t access IC Markets, we recommend the OANDA One account here or a lower spread account if available.
A VPS must be used in order to manage all the positions 24/7 and for faster execution times. We recommend the MetaTrader VPS due to the ease of set up. There are other options available.

Disclaimers:
- The time settings are in GMT time and therefore no adjustments are needed
- Use the 1 Minute OHLC setting for faster backtests.
- Daily Reversal doesn't place trades on Fridays due to low volume.
- The news filter has no effect on backtests as the MQL calendar can’t be accessed.
- Prop firm mode only allows one set of positions in each direction with equal risk meaning the trades are hedged. However, prop firms typically don’t offer very low spreads so expect Daily Reversal to be slightly less effective. We recommend 3-4% risk max for a 5% daily drawdown account.
