- Order Execution:
- Open a position with a pending order.
- Place the order at the upper point of the market extremum formed after the first downward rebound (closing price lower than the previous one).
- Wait for the price to exceed this extremum point before buying.

Exit Rules
Exit the Position When:
- The price touches the Supertrend line.
- The Supertrend line changes color.
- The price touches the first line of the Fibonacci fan.
Fibonacci Fan Construction:
Draw from the market extremum at the beginning of the movement to the opposite extreme point. For buys: from the bottom to the top of the movement. For sells: from the top to the bottom of the movement. Exit at the line of the Fibonacci fan closest to the price, moving the exit order along this line.
Stop-Loss Settings
Stop-Loss Placement:
- On the Supertrend line.
- Below the nearest price swing.
- Under (or over) the closest market extremum that exceeds the Supertrend line in the opposite direction.
Additional Note:
Account for the spread and add 3 pips to the stop-loss order.
Money Management
Recommended Strategies:
- Limit risk to no more than 10% of capital per trade.
- Consider using a progressive system (e.g., Fibonacci or semi-martingale).
- Avoid the Martingale strategy due to high risk after consecutive losses.
Adding Positions:
Only add to profitable positions after a regular color change of Nonlagdot in the direction of the current trend.
