Range Channel Breakout Trading with a Time-Based Exit

Summary

This document describes an Expert Advisor that trades signals from an AbsolutelyNoLagLwma range-channel indicator. It enters when a bar closes after price breaks through the channel, then closes the position once its holding time reaches a preset limit. The holding period is configurable, and the system relies on a separately installed compiled indicator file.

The document shows example trades and reports a test on EURJPY four-hour data for 2017 using the advisor’s default inputs. It provides no performance statistics or details about costs, execution assumptions, or robustness across other markets and periods, so the example alone cannot establish whether the approach is profitable. The described rules are a channel-breakout entry combined with a fixed-duration exit; no other risk controls are specified.

Key ideas

• Entries are triggered when a bar closes beyond the range channel.
• Positions are closed when they exceed a configurable holding-time limit.
• The Expert Advisor depends on a separately installed compiled indicator.
• The document presents a EURJPY four-hour test for 2017 but gives no performance metrics.
