This works on the basic principle of the trend line break and retest. It is simple and yet the most effective strategies

Entry rules

  1. BREAK OUT
  2. RETEST
  3. DOUBLE CONFIRMATION

Stop loss and take profit

  1. SL goes right below the last swing hight or low
  2. TP we will use a safety line as it crosses the safety line it's our indication to take the profit
