130# Keltner Trend Reversal
Keltner X2 MTF TT (MK) MQ4
Keltener with Half Trend or Breakout Trading
Submit by Federic
Keltner Trend Reversal is a reversal trend strategy based on a double keltner channel based on a single Keltner X2 MTF TT (MK) MQ4 indicator. this indicator can be used either as a breakout channel or as a reversal. Here I propose to use it as a reversal trend together with a Half Trend trend indicator and breakout strategy.
In the reversal strategy the signals are generated when the keltner channel exits the slow Keltner channel, so it is necessary to wait that Half Trend generates a signal opposite to the direction of the market.
Time Frame 15 min or higher.

This is a strategy that is very successful in side markets and trend mediums. In long trends it can generate false signals which it then recovers. therefore it is always better to choose currencies that are not in long trend.
