Brooky OBTR & SuperTrend MTF Forex Day Trading Strategy
This day‑trading strategy for MT4 combines the Brooky OBTR Forex Signals Indicator and the SuperTrend MTF Forex Signal Indicator.
The OBTR indicator uses a green signal line for buy opportunities and a red signal line for sell opportunities.
The SuperTrend MTF provides trend‑direction clarity via green lines for bullish trends and red lines for bearish trends.
When both indicators align, you enter a trade in the direction of the trend and the signal line.
This method is designed for major pairs like EUR/USD, GBP/USD, USD/JPY, and works on time frames such as M15 or H1 for day trading.
Buy Entry Rules
- Check that the SuperTrend MTF line is green, indicating a bullish trend.
- The OBTR indicator’s signal line turns green, signaling a buy opportunity.
- Enter a buy trade as soon as both conditions are confirmed.
- Place a stop loss a few pips below the most recent swing low or just under a recent OBTR signal low.
- Set take profit at a reasonable intraday target (for example, 20‑50 pips) or exit when the SuperTrend line turns red or OBTR turns red.
Sell Entry Rules
- Confirm the SuperTrend MTF line is red, showing a bearish trend.
- The OBTR signal line turns red, indicating a sell opportunity.
- Enter a sell trade once both conditions align.
- Place a stop loss a few pips above the most recent swing high or just above the recent OBTR signal high.
- Take profit around 20‑50 pips (depending on pair and session) or exit when SuperTrend flips green or OBTR flips green.
Advantages
- Combines trend confirmation (SuperTrend) with a dedicated signal line (OBTR) — reducing ambiguous entries.
- Logical stop‑loss placement based on recent structure and signal line helps with risk control.
- Day trading focus means you don’t hold trades overnight, and you can catch intraday swings on major pairs.
- Clear visual cues make it easier to monitor multiple charts and act when conditions align.
Drawbacks
- In ranging or low‑volatility markets, the SuperTrend line may flip often, and OBTR signals may generate false entries.
- Targets of 20‑50 pips may be modest in larger trending moves, which could reduce potential reward if you exit early.
- Because trades depend on two signals aligning, you may miss some opportunities when one indicator lags.
- You must pay attention throughout the day; this is not a set‑and‑forget approach and is somewhat time‑intensive.
- Spread and slippage during high‑impact news events may hurt profit potential or cause early stop‑outs.

Strategy Tips
- Focus on major currency pairs such as EUR/USD, GBP/USD, USD/JPY, and AUD/USD for better liquidity and tighter spreads.
- Prefer trading during active sessions (London and New York) when intraday moves are stronger and trends are easier to follow.
- If the SuperTrend line is flat or repeatedly flipping, consider skipping signals — the market may be range‑bound.
- Avoid entering new trades just before major economic announcements, as trend direction may shift rapidly and false signals may occur.
