Auto Forex Regression Channel + XMaster Formula MT4 Day Trading Strategy
This strategy combines the Auto Forex Regression Channel Indicator MT4 and the XMaster Formula MT4 Indicator to create a precise day trading approach.
By using trend analysis and reliable signal triggers, traders can identify high-probability entries and exits.
This strategy works on 15-minute to 1-hour charts and is suitable for traders who prefer structured rules and clear visual signals.
How It Works
The Auto Forex Regression Channel helps determine the trend direction and potential reversal zones.
When the slope of the channel is rising, it indicates an upward trend, and when it is declining, it indicates a downward trend.
The XMaster Formula provides entry signals with yellow arrows for buy and sell, helping traders time their entries more accurately.
Combining these indicators allows traders to enter trades in the direction of the trend while avoiding false signals.
Buy Entry Rules

- XMaster Formula shows a yellow UP arrow
- Enter a buy trade at the candle following the arrow
- Place a stop loss below the nearest channel support line
- Take profit at the next channel resistance or a 1:2 risk-to-reward ratio
Sell Entry Rules
- Trend is downward (Auto Forex Regression Channel slope is declining)
- XMaster Formula shows a yellow DOWN arrow
- Enter a sell trade at the candle following the arrow
- Place a stop loss above the nearest channel resistance line
- Take profit at the next channel support or a 1:2 risk-to-reward ratio
