So here's a strategy I developed over a period of time that seems to suit me well. Graph might seem too cluttered but you just gotta know what to look for.
Indicators used:
Price Channel (period 12)
Fractals
A few indicators from BrainTrend system (BrainTrend1Sig, BrainTrend1Sig, BrainTrend1Stop, BrainTrend1Stop)
3 WMAs (240, 120, 60)
Stochastic (6, 2, 3)
Timeframe: H1
Pairs: Any, depends on volatility, I prefer EURUSD, GPBUSD, USDCHF and a few others.
Entering:
To enter the market I want:
Price to bounce off Price Channel's level
Fractal to place a symbol on the same spot
BrainTrend indicators to place its circle and an arrow on the next or the second candle
And 120 and 240 EMAs should be following the trend we are entering. (i.e. going down if we want to sell)
Here's how a good signal looks like (marked with a green circle):
Exiting: I use a trailing stop, use common sense and volatility to figure out how far to place it. When the price goes well into no-loss zone I can increase the distance of a trailing stop to absorb any insignificant corrections.
Average trade length is anywhere from 2-3 hours to a day and a total of several succesful trades a week. I don't really remember when the system was signalling me one thing and the price went the other way. There were situations where I saw what I wanted to see, i.e. opened a trade when there was no strong signal. Overall, if you're not emotional when trading and patient, this works really nice.
Any suggestions are gladly appreciated. And if anyone wants to make an EA on this, I'd love to see that happen, I'm not really an expert when it comes to expert writing.

Cheers.
