Forex Trend-Following Strategy for Quantower
Budget: $30 – $250 USD
Core Features:
1.Dynamic Range Monitoring:
Two Adjustable Time Ranges: Monitor price within two user-defined time ranges (start and end times adjustable to the second for each range).
Price Entry Monitoring: Instead of placing OCO orders immediately, monitor the price until it is within 5 points of the entry point for each time range.
Order Placement: Submit a stop order when the price is within 5 points of the high or low of the range for either session.
2.Order Cancellation Logic:
If an order is placed near either the high or low but remains unfilled, and the price moves to the opposite side where another order is placed and filled, immediately cancel the unfilled order from the initial side.
3.Reverse Trade Management:
Stop-Loss Monitoring: For the reverse trade, monitor when the price is 5 points away from the stop-loss level of the first trade.
Conditional Order Trigger: Place the reverse trade order only when the price is within 5 points of the stop-loss level.
Cancellation Logic: If the reverse order is not filled and the TP of the initial trade is hit, cancel the reverse order.
4.Trade Direction Management Across Sessions:
Monitor Existing Trades: Continuously monitor the direction (long or short) of an open trade.
Multiple Sessions Management:
■A trade from one session can continue into the other session as long as the new trade from the second session is in the same direction.
■If the new trade from the second session is in the opposite direction of an open trade from the first session, immediately close the open trade upon the new trade being filled.
5.Example Scenarios:
Scenario 1 (First Session Trade First):
■A long trade is placed at 1 AM (during the first session) and continues to run.
■At 3 AM (during the second session), another long trade is triggered.
■Since both trades are in the same direction (long), allow the first session trade to continue.
■Later, if a short trade is triggered during the second session:
■Immediately close the first session's long trade upon the short trade being filled.
■Allow the second session's short trade to continue.
Scenario 2 (Second Session Trade First):
■A short trade is placed at 3 AM (during the second session) and continues to run.
■At 4 AM (during the first session), another short trade is triggered.
■Since both trades are in the same direction (short), allow the second session trade to continue.
■Later, if a long trade is triggered during the first session:
■Immediately close the second session's short trade upon the long trade being filled.
■Allow the first session's long trade to continue.
Additional Parameters:
Contract Size: Adjustable contract sizes for each trade.
Take Profit (TP) and Stop Loss (SL): Separate input parameters for both initial and reverse trades.
