Hey - I'm Alex!
The goal of this strategy was to create a dynamic system using
proven methods...
that could be used on any timeframe, pair, or market!
I’m personally a huge fan of mechanical trading systems.
I believe they solve most of the problems that traders face.
The issue is that mechanical systems aren’t very dynamic.
They involve copious amounts of testing whenever moved from
the specific market or timeframe they were first created for.
My intention in developing this strategy was to make it extremely
dynamic!

Now you might be wondering...
Why should I listen to this guy?
Well for starters I created the most popular backtesting
software in the industry! --> Link (if you wanna check it out).
It's used by THOUSANDS of traders.
I've also personally coached 400+ traders 1 on 1!
Most of whom became profitable just weeks after working with
me...

Let's get right into talking about Indicators!
I only used two indicators when making this system…
The first is based on the fair value gap (FVG) concept popularized
by ICT.
The indicator seeks to show you those FVGs without you having
to go out of your way to constantly find them.

The second indicator is an EMA Cloud. --> Link
This is simply a filter to make sure you’re trading in the right
direction of the trend.

Setting up your charts is easy!
Grab the EMA Cloud and use it on the following settings:

Now, we’ll look at how to take entries, then manage risk, and
lastly the backtesting results.
Entries in a nutshell are just this…
Longs: EMA is green, we wait for new green FVGs to form, place
an order in the box, place a stoploss below a swing level, and
target the next important zone.
Shorts are the opposite, EMA is red, we wait for new red FVG to
form, place an order in the box, place a stoploss above a swing
level, and target the next important zone.
We'll go over some entry examples later on!

You might say this is vague or not as structured as a mechanical
system…
But that’s by design!
You see, the more rules you place on a system the less dynamic
it will be.
TRADEREDGE

This system intentionally requires you to do some backtesting and
see what works for you.
As we’ll see later I’ve done tons of testing (and live trading) with
this system...
and it’s definitely worked for me!

Here are some example entries and some explanations as to
whats going on:

As for risk management, I’ll lay out 3 different options that I think
are valid.
Option 1: the first is to place stops below swing levels or below
the fair value gap, and then target the next important zone.
This zone could be the last swing high (if going long) or last swing
low (if going short).
It could also be a significant support/resistance level that you can
zoom out and mark on the chart.
This option is great if you want a lower winrate but a much higher
reward-to-risk ratio.

Option 2: Placing stops below a swing level or fair value gap,
and targeting a fixed 1 : 1 reward to risk ratio.
This option is great if you want a higher winrate but a fixed 1:1
RR.
Option 3: Mixing it up.
You could just mix both depending on the trade and the
circumstance.

There are 2 key important things to keep in mind…
First, whenever applicable, move your stoploss to breakeven.
If a trade has run far from your entry, protect the trade by moving
your stoploss just above your entry level.
Now the trade has no risk. It's effectively a free trade.
The second is to perform a ton of backtesting and demo trading.
I never condone just blindly using someone's strategy.
I’m here to share what works for me… but it doesn’t mean it’ll
work for you.
Do a ton of testing! Test everything!

Now let’s take a look at the backtesting results…
TRADEREDGE

I already know what some of you are gonna say...
"The winrate is TOO LOW"
Anyone who says that doesn't know anything about trading and I
wish you the best of luck in life.
Winrate is a false metric...
If you win 10 cents every time you win but lose 1000$ when you
lose but have a 99% winrate we'll you be royally screwed.
The converse however of a 1% winrate at $1K and 10-cent losses
would be wildly profitable...
TRADEREDGE
ALL IN ONE BACKTESTING &
JOURNAL SOFTWARE
The truth is we took over 150 trades...
and had an over 2 : 1 reward to risk ratio on every single
backtest... AND.... we still managed to have winrates in the 40s!
That's wildly profitable!
