hey lucky,

the price box defines the ranges(these numbers are indicated by numbers in the left hand corner of ur chart) , so when price goes outside of a box then reverses, all you have to do is pull out a ruler and measure how much it moved back. I doubt any programmer could add that for an option, given that all you have to do is look at a chart to determine the amount and time of the move.

I agree! That would turn this into a super strategy, because you if you have a general idea where the currency pair is going, your % successful trades should skyrocket.

Awesome suggestion, I hope you can do it for us vstrelnikov?

Hi vstrelnikov,

Can you please add the functionality to test if the ADX is increasing before entering a trade?

I've done backtesting, and it increases profitable trades and decreases false breakouts.

So, if the breakout candle's ADX is rising, enter the trade, otherwise not.

Thanks man, you're doing a great job!

Hi mfostal,
Thanks for the snap short and explanation for the breakout stragey. What you are saying is correct but If I want to do the trading 8.Am usa time to 9.am USA time then Stragey box will start and number will not come on the left hand side of my chart. They only come when doing for the full day. If the news come market moves very fast and It will be difficult to measure it up the move because this move last only few second. If the function or adaption is written then automatically price will be come under the box say 8.am and when going up or down it will be automatically show how much the price movement is.
I hope you understood what i wanted to see.
Price came down Price 1.20 (just want to see( Down.20) 9.00Am EST
Up.30
1.40 price 8.am
Down .20
Thanks in advance.
Regards.

As far as I know, this strategy has this ability.
Are you using U.S. account?

No I am not using a U.S account. In the strategies property there is a box that allows you to set limit and stop orders in pips. But when your trade is entered the stop and limit orders are not entered on the trade. I have to manually set the limits and stops.
Can you help me with this
