Trading Strategy: Global Hourly Trend Follower (M60)
Objective
The Global Hourly Trend Follower (M60) strategy is designed to capture sustained market movements and breakout opportunities by analyzing trends on the hourly chart. This method aligns with the broader market trends while filtering out intraday noise.
Key Features
- Medium-Duration Trades: Ideal for capturing larger price movements over several hours or days.
- Respect for Higher Timeframe Structures: Ensures trades are placed in harmony with broader market trends.
- Consistency: Provides clear entry and exit points with defined risk and reward.
Parameters
- Risk Allocation: 10 Units of Risk (0.5% of Free Equity per trade).
- Trailing Stop: 3×DATR22 (3 times the Daily Average True Range using a period of 22).
- Timeframe: M60 (Hourly Chart).
Risk Management Model
Position Sizing
- Maximum Risk Per Trade: 0.5% of Free Equity.
- Calculate the position size using the trailing stop distance based on 3×DATR22. This ensures risk remains constant despite market volatility.
Trailing Stop
The trailing stop is dynamically adjusted to 3×DATR22. This approach ensures that trades are protected from sharp reversals while allowing sufficient room for price fluctuations during trends.
Risk-to-Reward Ratio
- Target Ratio: Minimum of 3:1.
- Trades are executed with the goal of capturing three times the risk amount, ensuring a favorable reward-to-risk ratio.
Implementation Framework
- Trend Identification: Use the M60 chart to determine the prevailing trend. The trend is confirmed when price action aligns with higher timeframe structures and exhibits clear directional movement.
- Entry Criteria: Enter trades at breakouts or pullbacks within the trend. Utilize technical indicators like moving averages and MACD to confirm entries.
- Stop-Loss Placement: Set the initial stop-loss at 3×DATR22 below (for longs) or above (for shorts) the entry price.
- Exit Strategy: Utilize the trailing stop to lock in profits as the trade progresses. Additionally, consider exiting when price action indicates a trend reversal or exhaustion.
