    This strategy is designed to take advantage of new highs and new lows compared to the previous trading day.

    Previous trading day on Monday is Friday and the code filters out any weekend data should it be present.

    The stops are optimized for GBPUSD in the timeframe tested which was 100000 units between 23rd April and 16th September 2016.

    In theory you should be able to adapt to other pairs, or anything, but works best where there is a trend or imbalance between currencies.

    Currently the strategy is set up to trade from 001000. Note that I have proved that using 000000 will result in the code picking up the day before yesterday setting to 10 minutes past midnight (uk time) makes the code work as intended but will still be profitable if you use midnight.

    The test used a spread of 1.5 points.

    Hope this is of some use
