- The price should be above the EMA on the 4-hour chart.
- The price should be higher than the median prices of the previous 4-hour bar in the chart.

Determining the size of trading positions, take-profit, safety stop-loss on forex strategy "Boomerang".

For this we need an Excel workbook (in the end of the strategy). Suppose that we have matched all the basic criteria for the opening of a trading position to buy. Current price for a 4-hour bar 1.9936.
A few comments: it is desirable that this price was the opening price, immediately after having been closed the old 4-hour bar. This price must be higher than the median prices of the previous 4-hour bar. Once you find these basic criteria, you enter the price in the table excel, where spelled out - "price of entry» - «Entry Price», then choose the bargain, which we want to open - "long» - long. Then in the windows will be the value of the book for your profit and stop-loss. Thus, you open your first trade deal at a price 1.9936 for purchase. First take profit at 1.9946 and stop-loss insurance to 1.9931. If this deal zaklyta on foot, then your new deal would be "short" - on sale, its price is 1.9931, take profit 1.9916, and the safety stop-loss 1.9936 and so on. The aim of the strategy is that by opening one of the trading positions in a series of transactions, to catch the break and enter into a profitable bargain. Pay attention to the fact that the profit target is increasing with each new otkryvatsya deal.

You can assume that 10 pips is very little profit, to seek to make it ... There is a method that allows you to increase your profits if you catch a strong trend towards open your trading positions. Once your profit on an open position has reached its goal of 10 pips, you can place a trailing stop at 5 pips, the size of the transaction is determined with your acceptable risk.
For example, if you placed a bargain at 10 lots, after the price on the chart reached the profit target 10, you close the 5 lots (or 50% of the open transaction), following the open items are distributed as follows: 2 lots - at the trailing stop 10 points, 2 lots - on a trailing stop - 15 pips, 1 lot trailing stop - 20-25 pips.

This allows you to very well protect yourself from losing trades, and, along with it, to catch a strong move, though smaller number of CMV transactions. But do not worry if you can not catch a strong trend. Your next entry into the market will already be in the next 4-hour candle. The worst scenario would be the closure of 50% of the open transaction with a profit of 5 points ....

So, to summarize (left% trading position - Right Trailing Stop size)

50% - take profit 10 points
20% - 10 points
20% - 15 points
10% - 20-25 points

You can either close the trading position due to the end of the trading day, or wait for the next trading signal to 4-hour candle.

The price should be below the median price of the previous 4-hour bar in the chart.

Or
