Introduction
This trading strategy is only nicknamed "holy grail" it is very easy to follow. The trading-bestseller authors and gurus Linda Bradford Raschke and Laurence Connors describe the holy grail in their book "Street Smarts: High Probability Short Term Trading Strategies".
Theory
With this method, first of all, the strength of a new trend (upward or downward) is identified. If a strong trend reaches new highs or lows, it is advised to buy or sell with the first countermovement.
Once again in "slow-motion": we have a strong upward trend. If the price reaches a new high (highest high of the last 20 days) a counter-movement begins, the rate is sinking. We buy, assuming the stock will continue its way up. (With a downward trend you just put this example upside down.)
This is a trading strategy with a low risk attitude. The average trading span is 1-5 days.
Trading-Advice for BUY
Set a "Buy Stop Order"above the high of the previous candle.
After executing the order, you set a "Protective Sell Stop to the newly formed "Swing Low.
You are stopped (out). Now re-enter at your initial Buy Stop Order.
We set our breakeven just above the highest high of the last 20 days (20 day high).
With the trade coming in your direction, you reset the stop to secure your gain.
Trading-Advice for SELL
Set a "Sell Stop Order above the low of the previous candle.
After executing the order, you set a "Protective Sell Stop to the newly formed "Swing High.
You are stopped (out). Now re-enter at your initial Buy Stop Order.
We set our breakeven just above the lowest low of the last 20 days (20 day low).
With the trade coming in your direction, you reset the stop to secure your gain.
Assumption :
1. Total Capital : 2 L
2. We will buy 10 K worth of each stock when ever the buy price is triggered
3. Stoploss : Protective Sell Stop to the newly formed "Swing Low.
4. We add 5 K worth of stock when the breakeven is broken.
5. Target : we trail till stop loss is hit.
Note : This is just for Experimentation purposes only. Please do not trade this.
