267# Radar Zone Trading Strategy MT5

Janus Trader 2025

The Radar Zone strategy is a trend-following system designed for MetaTrader 5 that uses two key indicators:

Radar Zone Indicator – A histogram displayed below the main chart that identifies momentum and direction.
Trend MT5 Filter – A multi-timeframe trend filter shown as colored dots (M1–MN). It confirms the dominant market direction.

This strategy is designed for traders who prefer clear, visual signals supported by multi-timeframe confirmation. The combination of histogram direction and trend filter alignment provides high-probability entries in trending markets.

Timeframe: 15 minutes or higher
Currency Pairs: Volatile pairs (e.g., GBP/JPY, EUR/USD, XAU/USD, etc.).

Indicators Used

Radar Zone – Histogram below the chart:
- Blue/Green Bars: Bullish momentum
  
  Red Bars: Bearish momentum.
Trend MT5 Filter (M1–MN) – Set of colored dots:
- Green Dots: Uptrend
  
  Red Dots: Downtrend.

Trading Rules

Buy Setup

Radar Zone: Histogram turns green (bullish momentum).
Trend MT5 Filter: At least 6 dots green.
Entry: Open a buy trade at the close of the confirming candle.
Stop Loss: Below the recent swing low.
Take Profit: Use a 1:2 risk/reward ratio or exit when the histogram changes to red.

Sell Setup

Radar Zone: Histogram turns red (bearish momentum).
Trend MT5 Filter: At least 6 dots red.
Entry: Open a sell trade at the close of the confirming candle.
Stop Loss: Above the recent swing high.
Take Profit: Use a 1:2 risk/reward ratio or exit when the histogram changes to blue/green.

Re-Entry (Optional)

Only one re-entry is allowed in the same direction.

Use the Buy/Sell signal arrows as secondary confirmation.

The histogram must still show the same color (momentum intact).

Re-entry is valid only when the Trend Move remains with 6 dots of the same color.

Templates

Base Template (Main):
- Uses only the Radar Zone and Trend MT5 Filter.
  
  Best for identifying the strongest trades.
Re-Entry Template (Optional):
- Includes Buy/Sell signals for a secondary entry in the same direction.
  
  Use only if the trend remains strong and conditions are unchanged.

Additional Tips

Avoid trading during major news events or low liquidity periods.

Always confirm that higher timeframes align with your trade direction.

The strategy works best during the London and New York sessions.
