The strategy is based on the classic rules of trading from support and resistance levels, but there are also additions that allow you to determine the most important levels on the chart. A large time interval (D1) allows you to devote a minimum of time to trading, and a set of currency pairs, at the same time, allows you to get a sufficient number of trading signals.

With the recommended risk per trade of 5% (stop loss of 50 points), as a percentage, the profit per year was about 200%.
- Time interval — daily (D1).

Rules for entering a BUY according to the forex strategy «Everything is simple»:
1) The price forms a maximum, the upper point of which is formed by candles with a long tail on top and with a small body (the color of the body does not matter).
2) Draw a horizontal line at the maximum price of the reversal candle.
3) As soon as the next candle breaks through this line (the breakout should be clear, not one or two points, but preferably more than 10) and closes higher, you should place a Buy Limit pending order 5-6 points above this line.
4) Stop loss is set at a distance of 50 points.
5) Take profit is 100 pips.
6) If after entering the price has not reached the target within three days, then the transaction should be transferred to breakeven.
In some situations, there are problems in determining the desired extremum, and for this reason we recommend using the following filters:
1. After the formation of a bounce candle, at least one candle must remain below half of the entire movement of the reversal candle.
2. We do not look for an entry point in lateral movements.
3. The level is valid until another level is formed below it, suitable for the conditions described above.
