Flash Reversal 1 Minute Strategy

Overview

The Flash Reversal strategy is designed to identify and exploit potential Wave C movements as defined in Elliott wave analysis. These Wave C’s are characterised by rapid and significant price movements, which frequently reverse and resume the prevailing long-term market trend.

Application in the EURUSD Market

Reversals are a common feature within the EURUSD market, presenting multiple opportunities for you. The Flash Reversal strategy is tailored to capture these reversal moments effectively, enhancing the potential for profitable trades.

Performance and Customisation

This strategy is noted for its low drawdowns and high success rate, offering a reliable approach for traders seeking consistency. The price per point is fully customisable, enabling you to adjust your investment size from minimal to substantial amounts, according to individual preferences and risk tolerance.

Trading Days and Volatility Management

Additionally, trading days can be customised, allowing users to avoid periods of elevated market volatility if desired. This flexibility ensures that you can adapt your approach based on market conditions and personal trading schedules.

Installation and Configuration

The Flash Reversal strategy allows you to customise your position size by adjusting the PositionSizePerPoint parameter. This ensures that you can align your investment choices with your individual risk appetite and trading objectives.

The strategy allows you to control trading activity by selecting which days new positions can be opened. Setting a day’s value to 1 enables trading on that day, while setting it to 0 prevents new entries. This setting only governs the opening of trades — any positions already active will continue to be managed and closed according to the standard rules.

All day references are aligned to UK time. For example, if you enable Monday trading (Monday=1), a trade scheduled for 05:00 UK time could appear as Sunday 23:00 in your local timezone if you are on UTC‑6. The optimal trading window is 05:00–20:00 UK time, so you should adjust the TimeOffSetHours parameter to match your own timezone. In the UTC‑6 example, you would set TimeOffSetHours = -6 to ensure your local clock correctly aligns with the UK trading session.

The strategy is optimised for use with the EURUSD 1-minute chart and comes preconfigured with a 56-point stop and a 32-point gain. These parameters are designed to accommodate reasonable extensions of Wave C, providing an effective balance between risk management and profit-taking within the context of the strategy.

Trading Hours

The strategy is designed to work between 5am and 8pm UK Time to avoid large spreads that happen out of hours. Please adjust TimeOffSetHours accordingly.

Risk Warning

The Flash Reversal strategy is developed using historical data and has undergone extensive backtesting. Although it is designed to deliver robust performance, it is important to recognise that market conditions are subject to change and, as a result, trading outcomes can differ from past results. Trading always involves a degree of risk, and it is essential that you only utilise this system if you have a clear understanding of these risks and are in a financial position to absorb any potential losses.
