There are a ton of YouTube videos and strategies using Parabolic SAR. Since I only trade US30 I combined the indicator with EMA100, and tested couple of time-frames. I've been testing this strategy on live markets through London and New York session for a while now.
This strategy shows good potential but is not absolute, and can definitely be improved. Also, it can easily be converted into EA. I'm sure someone here will pick this up
I decided to share this strategy to give something back, maybe help beginners with something simple, and, hopefully, if it makes money we could all do something good and help feed more families (more about this later on).
Step-By-Step
Goal:
- 50pips/day
- Get out of the market as soon as possible.

- This strategy can be traded in LDN or NY session.
- BEST time to trade this strategy is after 1pm London time.
- IF there are news at 1:30pm - Wait for them to finish before you start!
- IF there are important news that day, the market will range, especially in LDN session.
- No big candles entries especially after NY open.
We will be trading only after 1pm London time, since based on my backtesting it showed the best results for now.
