Price Channel Breakout Strategy — Long & Short
This strategy is a dual-direction Price Channel breakout system designed for high-volatility indices such as US30, NAS100, and XAUUSD.
It enters long when price breaks above the highest high of the past N bars, and enters short when price breaks below the lowest low.
A key feature is the use of fixed dollar-based take-profit and stop-loss, making the strategy adaptive across symbols with different tick values.
Core Logic
Long entry when price breaks the N-bar high
Short entry when price breaks the N-bar low
Dollar-based TP and SL (converted to ticks automatically)
Suitable for trending and breakout-friendly markets
Backtest Notes (US30 Example)
Sharpe Ratio: 2.7
Profit Factor: 2.111
Total Return (12-month backtest): +46.89%
Max Drawdown: 0.26%
Trades: 3,666
This strategy performs well in sustained volatility environments and is particularly effective for intraday momentum bursts on US30.
