I found this strategy posted on BabyPips that had pretty simple rules and I thought would be a great practice. Here are the rules:

Quote:

So the rules are simple.
ATR (11) with MA (21)
ADX (14)

Trade rules:

BUY:

Entry:

1. ADX Is Over 25
2. ATR is above MA
3. +DI crosses -DI
4. SL = Last candles low + 2 pips if SL would be below 10 pips use 15 pips as SL

Exit:

1. Close When TP hits 20 pips


SELL:

Entry:

1. ADX Is Over 25
2. ATR is below MA
3. -DI crosses +DI
4. SL = Last candles high - 2 pips if SL would be below 10 pips use 15 pips as SL

Exit:

1. Close When TP hits 20 pips


Work time:

Start at : 8:00 GMT +0 (London opens)
End: 21:00 GMT +0 (NY closes)

I had back tested it by hand , last month on M5 chart was:
30 Trades
12 bad trades

The author claims on his backtest for last month that 30 trades would of occurred. In my next post is my code to replicate his strategy.
