Binary-options DMI strategy on 1-minute forex: buy (Up) when DI+ crosses above DI- while ADX(14) is above 20 and price is above the 150 EMA; sell (Down) on the mirror cross below the EMA. Each trade is a 3-minute expiry option entered at the close of the signal candle.
The exact rules we tested
- 01Instrument: EURUSD | Signal timeframe: 1m | Direction: both
- 02LONG when: dmi.plus_di crosses above dmi.minus_di
- 03SHORT when: dmi.plus_di crosses below dmi.minus_di
- 04Filter: dmi.adx > 20
- 05Long filter: close > ema150
- 06Short filter: close < ema150
- 07Entry: market at the signal bar's close
- 08Stop: none (as taught - the trade closes only on its exit rule)
- 09Time exit after 3 bars
- 10Entry fills at the signal bar's close (market-on-close)
