Developing and continually evolving a trading system isn't just a technical task, but rather a personal challenge for me as a trader. I view every strategy as a living organism that needs to be observed, tested in real-world conditions, and purposefully improved, identifying and strengthening its weaknesses. A month ago, I launched live tests for a cluster trading system for gold . Now I'm expanding the trading bot's weaknesses by adding new trading systems.
A trend-based trading system for breaking out extremes for XAUUSD
Opening a position: Take any trend indicator (I use the "AceTrend" indicator) and plot a zigzag on the highs and lows of its trends. We'll open a long position at the previous high and a short position at the previous low. We'll use pending stop orders to open the position.
Position closing and monitoring: we'll use STOP LOSS, TAKE PROFIT, and TRAILING STOP. All values are expressed as percentages of the current symbol price. We'll hold pending orders until the trend reverses.
The system demonstrates the highest stability and combines harmoniously with regular trend-following entries.
