Simple 1 hour intraday trading strategy on EUR/USD (mini).

This automated trading strategy takes orders if the current candlestick is wider than the 12 periods average true range. Trades direction are chosen with this breakout candlestick color. If the current candlestick is green, then the trend seems bullish and a long order is initiated. If the breakout candle is red, a new bearish trend is forming and a short trade is launched at market.

It is a simple and a quite effective strategy with 3/1 risk reward ratio.
