Breaking Signal Strategy
In fast time trading, simple mechanics are often the most effective. The Breaking Signal strategy is based on finding the moment when a local correction or fading trend changes direction, and the Stochastic oscillator confirms a reversal from the extreme zone. If you want to record all your entry points and track your strategy winrate in real time, our [online trader diary] (https://tradepad.trade/) helps you keep statistics.
The essence and logic of the strategy
The basic principle is to work out the first candle of a new direction after the actual color change, but only when the indicator is in the zone of extreme values (overbought or oversold). To find such patterns more accurately, it is important to correctly analyze Japanese candlestick and timeframe on the selected chart.
- Timeframe (TF) graphics: any working (from 15 seconds to 5 minutes).
- Expiration time (deal): strictly equal to the time of one candle (for example, 1 minute at TF M1).
- Stochastic Oscillator (classic 5-3-3 or 14-3-3 settings).
Rules of entry into a transaction
Purchase (Transaction Up/CALL)
- Indicator check: Stochastic lines are in the oversold zone (below level 20) and form a bottom-up intersection (the fast line crosses the signal line up).
- Waiting for a candle: On the chart is a series of red (bear) candles. We are waiting for the first green (bull) candle to close.
- Market entry: As soon as the green candle is fixed (closed), at the first second of the new candle, we open the deal VERY for a time equal to the timeframe of the charts.
Selling (Down/PUT Deal)
- Indicator check: Stochastic lines are in the overbought zone (above level 80) and form a top-down intersection.
- Waiting for a candle: On the chart is a series of green (bull) candles. We are waiting for the first red candle to close.
- Market entry: Immediately after the closing of the red candle, at the first second of the new candle, we open the deal DRINK for one candle.
Точка входа и профитMain Restriction: Mid-Range Trade Ban
Even if the candle color changes on the chart, in the middle of the range, the market does not have a pronounced advantage of sellers or buyers. Entrance at such points significantly reduces the winrate and turns the system into guessing.
Practical advice and comments for the trader
- Perfect entry timing: Open the trade exactly at the timer change (in the first second of the formation of a new candle). A delay of even 2-3 seconds on the lower timeframes can take a part of the profit.
- Flat filtering: Best of all, the “Breaking Signal” works out impulse bounces from local levels or the completion of micro-corrections inside the flat channels.
- Rule of series of damages: If after the color change, the first trade closed in the negative, and Stochastic still remains in the zone of extreme values, do not overstate the volume. Wait for the next clean color change.
- Signal candle size: Do not enter a trade if the candlestick of the change of color is abnormally large (news impulse). In such cases, the market often gives a shadow or an instant reverse correction.
