I have recently switched from Forex to Futures MT4 to NT8. I have been working on my Futures strategy and have been very satisfied. I don't use candlesticks as I have found an awesome alternative that is not Renko. I started with trend lines and would trade breaks with help of Moving Average and indicator. I later replaced trend line with Short MA between 5 and 8 periods. I have focused exclusively on the NQ and what I have noticed is just trading trend line breaks can be very profitable especially when New York is closed because there is very little chop. But even with the sometimes choppy market I believe this can be very profitable.
I work full time and only have time to trade about a half hour before the market opens and about an hour past opening. I would like to start with a simple Bot that would trade price closing past an SMA, so I can run it in SIM mode and see how it works in NT8. I have attached stripped down chart that I use with only a 5 period SMA. The Chart is the MNQ 2/13/20 starting about an hour and 40 min before the NY open until about 3PM NY time
