Aggressive entry option according to strategy rules:

Elder Ray


1. When all the rules for entering the daily D1 interval match, we do not rush to open a trade, but instead move to the H1 time chart.

2. During the day, if these conditions occur again on H1, then we enter the market, but already using the EMA with a period of 13.

3. We set the stop loss at the last extremum, ideally - also under the EMA (13).

4. Further, we continue the support of the order on D1, following the basic rules. This allows us to reduce the size of the technical stop loss, but it is worth remembering that this approach is more aggressive and can lead to the most frequent triggering of stop orders.
