Janus Trader 2025

This strategy combines the Average True Range (ATR) with the Stochastic Oscillator to identify trend-based entries during market retracements. The ATR (set with a 21-period and multiplier 3) acts as a dynamic trend filter, showing whether the market is in a bullish or bearish phase. The Stochastic indicator, equipped with Buy/Sell arrows, provides precise entry signals when price pulls back within the prevailing trend.

Designed for MT5, this setup can be easily replicated on MT4 or TradingView using equivalent indicators. The method aims to capture short-term continuations in established trends, offering clear entry rules and simple risk-management parameters.

Indicators (MT5)

• Stochastic Oscillator (5, 3, 3, Close) with arrows

  ATR (21-period, Multiplier 3)

Entry Rules

BUY Rules

1. The ATR line is below the price (bullish trend).

2. Price makes a retracement, and the Stochastic prints a Buy arrow.

3. Enter at the opening of the next candle.

4. Maximum three entries in the same direction but depends by volatity or exit when Atr changes direction.

SELL Rules

1. The ATR line is above the price (bearish trend).

2. Price makes a retracement, and the Stochastic prints a Sell arrow.

3. Enter at the opening of the next candle.

4. Maximum three entries in the same direction but depends by volatity or exit when Atr changes direction.

Important note: We are trading in trend. ATR supports us; do not exit at the opposite arrow. We are using the Stochastic only as timing.

Stop Loss

• BUY: place SL below the ATR line.

  SELL: place SL above the ATR line.

Take Profit

• Use a reward-to-risk ratio between 0.8 and 1.11
  (Example: 20-pip SL → TP between 16 and 22 pips).

Notes

• Strategy performs best in trending conditions with a clear ATR slope.

  Avoid flat, low-volatility markets.

  Works effectively on higher timeframes (M30, H1, H4).
