Only One Trade a Day + SuperTrend MTF Forex Intraday Strategy
This MT4 strategy merges the “Only One Trade a Day” indicator and a multi-timeframe SuperTrend signal.
The Only One Trade indicator gives a single daily arrow (blue for buy, red for sell).
The SuperTrend MTF (multi-timeframe) indicator draws a green line when the trend is bullish and red when bearish.
Because you restrict yourself to one trade per day, you aim for high-quality setups with strong trend backing.
This method suits disciplined intraday traders on M15 or H1 charts, especially on popular currency pairs like EURUSD, GBPUSD, AUDUSD, and USDJPY.
Buy Entry Rules
- Wait for the Only One Trade indicator to give a blue arrow (buy signal) on your chart.
- Confirm the SuperTrend line is green (bullish) on the same timeframe or a higher timeframe (e.g., M15 + H1 alignment).
- Enter the buy at the close of the candle that produced the blue arrow, if SuperTrend agrees.
- Stop loss: place below the recent swing low (use a buffer of a few pips, e.g., 10–20 pips, depending on the pair).
- Take profit: aim for 2× the risk or exit when the SuperTrend line turns red or a reverse Only One Trade arrow appears.
- Once you’ve taken this trade for the day (either a win or a loss), do not take any further entries until the next trading day.
Sell Entry Rules
- Wait for the Only One Trade indicator to give a red arrow (sell signal).
- Confirm the SuperTrend line is red (bearish) on the same timeframe and preferably a higher timeframe.
- Enter the sell at the close of the candle with the red arrow, if SuperTrend also agrees.
- Stop loss: place above the recent swing high (buffer of ~10–20 pips).
- Take profit: target 2× the risk or exit when SuperTrend turns green or a new blue Only One Trade arrow appears.
- After this trade for the day, stand aside until the next calendar day.
Advantages
- Focuses your attention on only the best setup each day, reducing overtrading.
- Combines a signal (Only One Trade) with trend confirmation (SuperTrend) to filter weak entries.
- Simplifies decision-making — you won’t be chasing many signals.
- Works well on trending days where the price strongly moves in one direction.
Drawbacks
- You may miss good intraday moves if the signal appears late or the market accelerates suddenly.
- On choppy or sideways days, the signal may be weak or lead to small losses.
- Requires patience — often you will wait many hours for a signal.
Case Study 1: EURUSD (M15)
On a strong trending day, the Only One Trade indicator issued a blue arrow around 10:30.
At that time, the SuperTrend line was also green on M15 and on the H1 chart.
A buy was entered at that candle close.
The price continued upward, hitting the target at 2× risk.
The trade captured the main trend of the day. No further trades were taken after this.
Case Study 2: GBPUSD (H1)
During a London session, the indicator generated a red arrow mid-morning.
The SuperTrend line on both H1 and M15 was red, confirming bearish conditions.
The sell trade was entered.
Price pushed downward, reaching the take profit before the SuperTrend flipped.
The trade yielded around twice the risk. The rest of the day, no further trades were allowed.
Strategy Tips
- Use moderate timeframes like M15 or H1 so the signal isn’t too frequent and has trend weight.
- Check a higher timeframe (e.g., H1 or H4) SuperTrend direction as an additional filter.
- Do not chase the arrow if it appears near session close — ensure there is enough time left in the trading day.
- Adjust your stop and target sizes based on daily volatility — use ATR or recent range to size your risk.
- Stick to the rule: only one trade per day. Discipline is critical for this system to work over time.
- Backtest this method over months to see which pairs and timeframes give the best consistent results.
