17# Range Breakout Trading System

Range Breakout

Submit by Joy22

 

Time Frame: 15 or Higher

Currency Pair: All.

 

Indicators:

5EMA,

34EMA

MACD (12,26, 9)

We need to determine the highest and lowest levels of a range. For this

we need at least one extreme point for each level and, for drawing lines

of Support & Resistance, we need at least two points.

Point 1 is at 0,7821 and point two is at 0,7815. By drawing a line at the

123.50 level (the higher of the two), we have determined the upper

level of the range.Point 3 is at 0,7799 and point 4 is at 0,7798. We use the 0,7798 level accordingly, being the lower of the two, and draw a trend line.

 

 

In the picture below Range Breakout Trading System in action.

Entry Long:

We should wait until a one candle/bar closes above the Resistance;

5EMA >34EMA;

MACD>0.

Entry Short:

We should wait until a one candle/bar closes below the Support;

5EMA <34EMA;

MACD<0.

 

RE-Entry:

The pullback didn’t extend beyond either the 5 or 34EMA levels.

2. During the pullback, the MACD remained negative.


To clarify, the market moved up after a strong downward movement

creating the first white (bullish) candle – it indicates the beginning of

the pullback.

After that, a second white (bullish) candle was formed, followed by a

black (bearish) candle.

All this occurred while price remained below both the 5 and 34EMAs and

with the MACD in the negative zone, as shown on the following chart.

Stop Orders:

There are many methods for trading breakouts; the most widely used is

to place Stop orders at levels 3-5 pips above and below the defined

range levels, however, we have our own approach.

For Re-Entry stops is 10 pips above or below 34EMA.

 

Profit Target:

1/5 Ratio. Example if stop lossis 20 pips the profit target is 30 pips.

 

Before using this method, pratice at  draw the range  and test it !

    The strategy is built with basic technical indicators that are on all platforms, the range is then drawn on the chart manually based on support and resistance zones defined discretionarily.
    Otherwise you can build the strategy based on a range indicator.
    range breakout or boxbreakout, I think they are available on MT4, MT5 and TradingView.
