Timeshifter Triple Timeframe Strategy

Strategy trading across three timeframes with optional ADX confirmation and session filters.

Testing indicates an average annual return of about 37%. It performs best in the forex market.

The system aligns with the higher timeframe trend, enters on medium timeframe breakouts and exits on lower timeframe reversals. Trades can be limited to London, New York and Tokyo sessions. An ADX filter can be used to ensure sufficient momentum.
