Daily Movement Strategy Trading the Night Range

Daily Movement Strategy: Trading the Night Range

January 23, 2026

The "Daily Movement" strategy is a "set and forget" system designed for the H1 timeframe. It capitalizes on the breakout volatility usually observed when the European market opens. By defining the flat range formed during the night session (22:00 to 08:00), traders can place pending orders to catch the morning momentum automatically.

Range Breakout

1. Defining the Channel

Identify the High and Low of the price action between 22:00 (previous day) and 08:00 (current day). This strategy works best when the market has been flat during these hours. Avoid using it if there was a strong trend movement overnight.

2. Long Entry (Buy) Rules

  • Pending Order: Place a Buy Stop 15 points above the night channel High.
  • Stop Loss: Place at the channel's support level (Low).
  • Take Profit: 2x the distance of the Stop Loss (Risk/Reward 1:2), but do not exceed 100 points.

  • Stop Loss: Place at the channel's resistance level (High).
  • Take Profit: 2x the distance of the Stop Loss (Risk/Reward 1:2), but do not exceed 100 points.

Order Management

  • Expiration: If neither order is triggered by 15:00 GMT+2, cancel all pending orders.
  • OCO Rule: If one pending order is triggered, immediately cancel the opposite one.
  • Frequency: Expect about 1-3 valid signals per week. Patience is key.
