轻松回调策略 (Easy Pullback Strategy)

Well ive been using many pullback strategies over the past years and i've been doing quite well, I'm currently on an FTMO evaluation and hopefully will pass it soon.

The thing is that over the years, as many traders do, i've been trying to better my timing of the market, and as well increase my RR ration.

As i traded various ways of "catching" a pullback i started considering "working" with the noise instead of avoiding it, and started realizing some "flaws" within my entries criteria which i worked on.

Noise now a days is mostly called manipulation and etc i think by the ict / smc traders.

Eventhough i studied ict and smc, as well as traded with no indicators and nothing else but price action on my chart, i realized that i didnt want to become a slave to the charts, i'm already a slave of my bussnesses where i usually work 14h a day

I didnt want to wait for setup on lower timeframes, didnt want to wait for liquidity of london or asia sessions and etc... What i really wanted to is to open my mt5 app, and with a glipse know where and how to take action.

I trade similar to the "easy pullback strategy" that i created around 2019 and there is a thread on it here in Forex Factory somewhere.

What im using is a simple aproach with the following rules:

OVERALL RULES:

4H CHART
EMA: 20 AND 50
STOCHASTIC: %K: 10, %D: 2, Smoothing: 3 ( simple - close/close)

A+ Setup: The stoch cross should be on the overbought/sold position (80/20), the candle close that made the stoch cross should be in between the emas,

B+ Setup: For shorts the cross should NOT happen under the emas , and For longs the cross should NOT above the emas

Be sure to validate your entries with D and W timeframe, is both D/W are with emas on longs, it might not be a good idea to short the 4h.

ENTRY MODELS AND CARACTERISTICS:

MODEL 1:

First of all for this entry model we should have a clean leg up or down, ideally with no opposite candles, the less the better.
In this case, after the cross os stoch, we should put fib from the highest upper wick down to the wick of the closed candle that made the stoch cross.

The entry should be takeng at 78fib with stops at 123.6.


MODEL 2:

the entry after this cenario is at fib 111.8 or -11.8 with stop loss at 138.2,

You should put fib from top till the wick of the candle for buys
You should put fib from bottom to wick of the candle for sell



You can see that here we have a "complex" push instead of a "clean" one, this is more os a subjective aproach but in time you'll get your eyes around it.

The idea here on this entry model is to "work" with the noise/manipulation meaning that eventhough stoch crossed we should not enter on the break of low/high of the candle, instead we wait for liquidity to take place positioning out order above/below the candle perfecting our entry, and increasing our RR

Average RR is 1:4. try to go with Daily and Weekly emas, but doing it mechanically only looking at the 4h works well!

Note: As you may backtest it, you'll "well entering on the break of the candle here would have given me 1:2, and here 1:3 and etc..." well you can adjust your entry model the way it suits you best, but im trading like this as i prefer not to enter the trade with no manipulation, instead of entering and the getting stopped out.

BREAKEVEN:

Im currently putting my order on BE once the stochastic gets to the other "over cenario" zone with its two lines, it saves us a lot since we can never be sure when market will make a HL or LH and reverse.

Obs: I find model 1 riskier since i prefer to wait for a manipulation before entering the trade, but once i have a "clean" leg i usually take both entries.
