DESCRIPTION
3 Bar Break is based on one of Linda Bradford Raschke's trading methods that I have noticed is good at spotting potential future price volatility. It looks for when the previous bar's High is less than the 3rd bar's High as well as the previous bar's Low to be higher than the 3rd bar's Low. It then predicts the market might breakout to new levels within 2-3 of the next coming bars.
Must also be traded during the active hours of the market you want to trade. EG EURUSD 7am - 5pm
This EA should work on any market and any timeframe though is optimised for EURUSD 5m timeframe.
