This strategy trades based on price patterns forming same high/low levels. Consecutive weekly double bottom or double top formations trigger trades.
The logic is:
Identify current or prior bar high/low equaling the high/low 2 bars earlier
Double bottom pattern triggers long on low breakout
Double top pattern triggers short on high breakout
Stop loss placed near breakout level, take profit based on ATR multiple
It aims to capitalize on trend resumption after breaking same high/low levels. Stops and profit targets control risk.
Same high/low easy to identify, clear breakout signals
ATR-based profit take dynamically trails trends
Simple rules, defined risk
Same high/low patterns less common
Stops too close risk being stopped out
ATR parameter setting needs attention
This strategy catches trend trades from same high/low breakouts. But stop/profit tuning and lower frequency requires consideration.
