Pure Price Action Breakout with 1:5 RR Strategy

The Pure Price Action Breakout with 1:5 RR strategy uses a crossover of two EMAs confirmed by RSI and volume. The stop loss is based on ATR and the take profit is five times the risk.

  • Long/Short: Both sides.
  • Exit Criteria:
    • ATR-based stop loss and 1:5 risk-reward take profit.
