Simple Arrow Scalper and Linear Regression Channel MT4 Forex Strategy
This MT4 forex strategy combines precise entry signals from the Simple Arrow Scalper Metatrader 4 Forex Indicator with trend direction and structure from the Linear Regression Forex Channel Indicator MT4.
The Simple Arrow Scalper provides clear entry arrows, with DodgerBlue arrows signaling buy opportunities and Magenta arrows signaling sell opportunities.
The Linear Regression Channel shows trend direction: an upward sloping channel indicates bullish conditions while a downward sloping channel indicates bearish conditions.
This strategy is designed for lower timeframes like M5, M15, and H1.
It works well for day traders and intraday scalpers who want a method that aligns entry signals with trend direction.
By filtering entries through trend structure, traders avoid random signals and focus on trades that follow the dominant market movement.
This helps reduce false entries and increases the chance of capturing meaningful intraday moves.
Buy Entry Rules

- Enter a buy trade at the close of the candle where the DodgerBlue arrow appears while the channel remains upward.
- Place the stop loss a few pips below the most recent swing low or the lower boundary of the channel.
- Set the take profit at the next visible resistance level or use a fixed pip target based on your timeframe (for example, 10–20 pips on M5, 20–40 on M15, and 40–60 on H1).
- Close the trade early if the channel begins to flatten or slope downward before reaching the profit target.
Sell Entry Rules

Case Study 1
On EURUSD M5 during the London session, the Linear Regression Channel was clearly sloping upwards, confirming bullish conditions.
A DodgerBlue buy arrow appeared from the Simple Arrow Scalper after a slight pullback.
A buy trade was taken and later closed for 18 pips as price approached a strong resistance level and began consolidating, capturing the bulk of the intraday upward move.
Case Study 2
On AUDUSD M15 during the New York session, the Linear Regression Channel was sloping downward, signaling bearish conditions.
A Magenta sell arrow appeared shortly after price retraced to the upper boundary of the channel.
A sell trade was opened and later closed for 32 pips when price neared a key support zone and the channel showed signs of flattening, successfully capturing the directional move.
Strategy Tips
- Only take arrows that appear in the direction of the channel slope to increase the chance of success.
- Use the M5 chart for quick scalping, the M15 for intraday setups, and the H1 for more extended moves within the trading day.
- Avoid taking arrows when the channel is flat or very weakly sloped, as these conditions often lead to choppy price action.
- Place stop losses just beyond recent swing points or channel boundaries to reduce the impact of false breakouts.
- Close trades early if momentum appears to slow before the price reaches your profit target.
- Avoid trading around major news releases when volatility can spike and disrupt normal trend behavior.
- Track your trades with a journal so you can identify which pairs and timeframes produce the most consistent results.
