This trading strategy focuses on building a rules-based system in TradeStation EasyLanguage to automate entries, stop-loss placement, and profit targets. The logic uses swing highs, swing lows, pullbacks, and bar-by-bar conditions to define when to enter and exit trades. By integrating bracket orders, position management, and volume filters, the strategy adapts to day trading penny stocks, low-liquidity assets, and short-term momentum setups.
Key highlights:
Stop-Loss Logic: Dynamically sets stops at the most recent swing low to protect downside risk.
Profit Targets: Uses a factor (e.g., 1.5× risk) to calculate profit objectives.
Automated Entries: Market and stop orders triggered when price action confirms setups.
Order Management: Bracket orders with both limit and stop components for risk/reward balance.
Volume Filtering: Ensures trades occur only on stocks with sufficient liquidity.
This approach provides a repeatable framework for day traders who want to combine systematic logic, risk management, and the automation capabilities of TradeStation. Perfect for refining scalping, intraday, and momentum trading strategies with EasyLanguage coding.
