4H Box Breakout Strategy August 1, 2009 by hyiperz Sponsored Links This system is extremely easy to use and is extremely profitable. I’ve seen breakout strategies for daily and weekly. I’ve never seen one like the one i’m about to present. DRAW a box connecting the high of the first 4hr candle(00:00) of the week with the low. The week starts at the open of the Australian session. If I had a penny for every time someone has asked which candle it is..i wouldn’t need to trade forex to make money. For the next person who is going to ask, follow these instructions. Open your MT4 platform(i use FXDD). Press Ctrl+y on a 4hr chart. Lines will magically pop up and at the start of every week the first 4hr candle should form on the line. This is the candle you use for the High and Low.

This system is extremely easy to use and is extremely profitable. I’ve seen breakout strategies for daily and weekly. I’ve never seen one like the one i’m about to present.

DRAW a box connecting the high of the first 4hr candle(00:00) of the week with the low.The week starts at the open of the Australian session.If I had a penny for every time someone has asked which candle it is..i wouldn’t need to trade forex to make money. For the next person who is going to ask, follow these instructions.Open your MT4 platform(i use FXDD). Press Ctrl+y on a 4hr chart. Lines will magically pop up and at the start of every week the first 4hr candle should form on the line. This is the candle you use for the High and Low.

Box Forming Times:GMT- 21:00 to 01:00EDT - 17:00 to 21:00FXDD time - 00:00 to 04:00

Use Time zone conversion to find out your specific time.

Page 2: 4H Box Breakout Strategy

Rules:- Add a buffer of 10-20 pips on each end of candle- Buy on upper break of weekly box (including buffer+spread)- Sell on lower break of weekly box (including buffer)

SL - other side of BoxTP1 - 1x box sizeTP2 - 2x box sizeTP3 - 3x box sizeTP4 - 4x box size

This system works on many JPY pairs.GBP/JPYEUR/JPYAUD/JPYCHF/JPYCAD/JPYMay work on other pairs, testing is required however.

I like to use 3x-4x box size as TP.I take don’t profits at 1x size of box because larger reward is key.

Advantages- 30 mins a week- no worrying about charts filled with indicators- higher reward than risk on EACH trade- easy to back test

The system works as follows:

Eur/Usd 5 min chart

-Parabolic Sar 0.03, 0.6-Slope direction line 20, 3, 0

When a signal occurs in 5M TF, confirm to 30M TF whether the two signals coincide enter the trade!

Go long/short when both indicators are in agreement.

Exit when the Slope indicator is opposite to the PSAR (Parabolic SAR)

Reenter when the Slope Indicator is in agreement with the PSAR

We are happy traders and sometimes we have some fun, jokes or smalltalks during a break or lazy PA in this thread. For saving you time I will hightlight here the most important

Page 4: 4H Box Breakout Strategy

informations and you don’t need to go through the hole thread unless you want to have fun. My special thanks to SpecialED, TradeWell and Eddiemiller for trying the first beta setups, Doblece for helping me in MT4 V220 compiling issues and AK4X to keep me always in good mood and at the end to Turhovach to show his charts and settings and so making me suspicious what is behind of that and last but not least, my wife, giving me the time to get all this done.

The main V3 rules:

Entry: Above Coral only long, below Coral only shortPrice crosses cloud - both Trix cross each other and have the same color.Best and most secure trend confirmation is a cross of the fast Trix on the zero level.

Exit:Faster Trix changes color and/or touch of a known good resistance/support level.

Other reasons to take profit can be: Touch of a trend line, resistance or support line, horizontal psych level (00 - 20 - 50 - -80) or a black cat that cross your screen

Stop Loss: please set your stop loss according to your money management plan, as higher your TF that you trade as lower you set the pip value and as higher the Stop Loss, also it depends on the currency pair that you are trading.

This is a Multi timeframe setup, you don’t need to change anything jumping from one TF to the other.We, the THV team proved it only on 1M and 5M. The 1M TF is only for extreme scalping and needs good FX skills !!!

These are the only rules; anything else depends on your basic knowledge on FX and your feelings.

New, cleaner chart with more functions and sound support, THV V3, released:Download the template and manual below(requieres the latest version of MT4 V220)

The actual THV team: Doblece, MissPips, Tradewell, Gofer Pips, Special Ed, Cashmeer, SeerEye, Karun, Caveman and Cobra.

TRIX is a momentum indicator that displays the percent rate-of-change of a triple exponentially smoothed moving average of a security’s closing price. It was developed in the early 1980’s by Jack Hutson, an editor for Technical Analysis of Stocks and Commodities

magazine. Oscillating around a zero line, TRIX is designed to filter out stock movements that are insignificant to the larger trend of the stock. The user selects a number of periods (such as 15) with which to create the moving average, and those cycles that are shorter than that period are filtered out.

The TRIX is a leading indicator and can be used to anticipate turning points in a trend through its divergence with the security price. Likewise, it is common to plot a moving average with a smaller period (such as 9) and use it as a “signal line” to anticipate where the TRIX is heading. TRIX line crossovers with its “signal line” can be used as buy/sell signals as well.
