突破跨骑！ (Breakout Straddle!)

As many of you know, a lot of pairs exhibit regular patterns that can be used to harvest pips (love that term lol). After following a few threads and doing some research, I have successfully played the following system for the past week. While this is a relatively short-term testing frame of reference, if you eyeball the charts over the past while, you will notice that this can be quite profitable if done correctly.

This is not MY system as I'm sure it has been thought of before. For those newer to the game, I am putting my findings down here for use and to see if anybody has some suggestions or input into making it better. If you decide to try this out, you do so at your own risk!

Most GBP pairs break out around 2:00am EST. In many cases it is preceded by a false breakout in the opposite direction to the main one. I have been finding success with the following straddles:

GBP/USD

At 11pm EST I straddle the current price as follows:

Straddle: 25pips
Stop-Loss: 25pips
Take Profit: 55pips

GBP/JPY

Straddle: 35pips
Stop-Loss: 35pips
Take Profit: 85pips

I have also noticed that EURUSD starts to make a move around 1:00-1:30am EST. I am not usually up at this time of the night, but I backtested a few months and found the following:

Place straddle at 1:30am (30m chart) based on the closing candle.

Straddle: 20pips
Stop-Loss: 15pips
Take Profit: 30pips

Does anybody know if there is an EA available that can place orders, S/L & T/P based on the price at a specific time? This would be the cat's a$$ and would help with the GBP pairs as well (placing straddle at around 2:00-2:30am would do a lot to minimize losses due to the occasional false breakout).

I hope this is of value to somebody! And any suggestions/critiques are welcome...

Take care,
