This is a variant of the MTF BB System only that there is no averaging down.
Scalping with entries based on 5 minute charts with a multi-timeframe setup (M30 - M5 - M1)
Transforming the trade in a longer term position with the trailings with aim to a 1:5 R:R.
Works in trending, counter-trending and ranging markets.
Presently only tested on AUD/USD, will soon workout the details for other currency pairs as to specific parameters for trailing stops, best BB and SMA settings and possible entries.
R:R expected: from 1:1 upwards.
Some rules and indicators:

NOTE: The first weeks I will be calibrating the best settings to be used thereafter, as well as testing 'worst case scenario', so the results might not reflect a normal trading situation.
By now, this test is being run on AUDUSD solely.
I might start testing other pairs to calibrate their differences.
Still here. (shorter version of "Winners never quit and Quitters never win" :) )
