Super Take Strategy

This strategy alternates between long and short positions and increases the take profit after each losing trade using a martingale multiplier. The stop loss is fixed while the take profit resets to the base value after a winning trade. By always flipping direction and adjusting targets after losses, the strategy attempts to recover previous drawdowns.

A new position is opened only when no position is active. The first trade is long by default. Each subsequent trade opens in the opposite direction of the last closed position.

Details

  • Entry Criteria:
    • Long: No active position and the last closed position was short or absent.
    • Short: No active position and the last closed position was long.
  • Long/Short: Both sides.
  • Exit Criteria:
    • Close the position when price reaches the dynamic take profit or the fixed stop loss.
  • Stops: Fixed stop loss, dynamic take profit with martingale after losing trades.
  • Default Values:
    • TakeProfit = 10
    • StopLoss = 15
    • MartinFactor = 1.8
  • Filters:
    • Category: Reversal
    • Direction: Both
    • Indicators: None
    • Stops: Yes
    • Complexity: Simple
    • Timeframe: Any
    • Seasonality: No
    • Neural networks: No
    • Divergence: No
    • Risk level: High
