SAR Forex Day Trading Strategy


You can now download the SAR Forex Day Trading Strategy for free on AtoZ Markets indicators gallery.

SAR Forex Day Trading Strategy would be set up on the 5-minute chart. Some traders think of this timeframe as a scalping timeframe, but it is as a day trade due to the length of time we hold trade in this time frame.

To determine the trade direction, use the SAR. If the price is above the SAR, then we should be looking for buy trades. If the price is below it, then we are looking to sell.

Two moving averages would be the 5 (green) and 15 (brown) Exponential Moving Average. This will serve as a filter and a dynamic area of support and resistance. On an uptrend, the 5 EMA should be above the 15 EMA, while on a downtrend, the 5 EMA should be below the 15 EMA. Then we look for closes between the two EMAs, then closes back out of it on the direction of the trend.

How to trade with SAR Forex Day Trading Strategy?

This strategy has a fixed 1:1 reward-risk ratio. However, this is still in effect a negative reward-risk ratio since we haven’t covered the commission and spread yet. This is an area which you could tweak to your liking. However, this is somehow more of a conservative target so as to yield a higher win-loss ratio.
