Update
As I have discovered that moving averages often react to price actions rather quickly, I decided to add a filter to my exits.
Exit: Whet both QQE alert and 5/8 Ema crossover have signalled an opposite direction, then exit. They don't have to signal at the same time but you no exit must be taken until the two have signalled an exit.
2. Re-Entry
Let's say we miss a basic setup and look to entering the trade after the setup as occured, these are the conditions that must be met:
Buy: Make sure that all the indicators are going in the buy direction. Allow the dinapoli stoch to go into a sell then enter a buy when it also turns back to the buy direction. Take note of any support or resistance level or any pivot point close to the current price. Enter when the dinapoli stoch crosses over to a buy.
Sell: Opposite of buy.
Exit: Stop loss of 20 pips, OR Take profit of 20 or 30 pips. Whichever is hit first. I also use a trailing stop of 20 pips.
News.
I do not open new positions when big news is coming up. If I am already in a trade and a big news is near, I exit the trade if I have profit less than 30 pips. But if I am in a profit of more than 30 pips, I leave 20 pips out and lock in the remaining then trail my stop with a 20 pips trailing stop. That is my own personal way of handling news, other suggestions are welcome.
The purpose of this thread is to improve the strategy and also build an expert advisor. You can also add timeframe filters.

Thanks so much for sharing the method, it makes sense, pips, cents and dollars too.
Have you or any one else on this thread tried this method on a longer time frame like hourly or 4 hourly? Its just that I can't sit and watch screens all day as I am a part time trader and own a business.Ignored
DislikedI have not yet tested it on the higher timeframes but as soon as the EA is ready, all that will be done. For now, I am concentrating on 15 mins.Ignored
