Why traders pick it.

Built to survive a bad day.

A hard stop-loss sits on every order from the first tick. It never adds to a losing trade, so one bad session stays one losing trade.

  • Hard stop-loss on every order
  • No martingale
  • No grid
  • No averaging down

Asian and US hours

One window in each session, and the rest of the day it stays out of the market.

Your risk, your call

Set the position size in the inputs. Start small, and scale up when you trust it.

How it trades.

  1. 01

    Two windows a day

    A buy stop goes in during the Asian hours and a sell stop during the US hours, each beyond the range of the last two hourly bars.

  2. 02

    One order fills, the other goes

    When one order fills, the other is cancelled. Trades are independent, so several can be open at once, each with its own stop.

  3. 03

    Wide stops, then a trail

    Every order carries a hard stop-loss of $8 a barrel and a $5 target. Once a trade is $3 in profit, a trailing stop follows it.
