THE ALTERNATIVE APPROACH

Why Echo Resonance Scalper?

Most conventional indicators suffer from lag and over-optimization. The Echo Resonance Scalper uses a proprietary combination of a custom equilibrium line (Echo Line) and a normalized momentum oscillator (Resonance Oscillator) to detect when price is moving in harmonic alignment with its recent rhythm.

It is particularly effective during London and New York sessions on liquid major pairs and avoids the common pitfalls of overused oscillators.

SIGNAL GENERATION

Core Trading Logic

Long Participation
  • Echo Line is rising (current value greater than previous bar)
  • Resonance Oscillator > +0.5 (strong positive harmony)
  • Price closes above the highest high of the previous 5 bars (breakout confirmation)
Short Participation
  • Echo Line is falling (current value lower than previous bar)
  • Resonance Oscillator < -0.5 (strong negative harmony)
  • Price closes below the lowest low of the previous 5 bars (breakout confirmation)
STOP LOSS
1.5 × ATR(14)

Placed below recent swing low (long) or above swing high (short). Provides dynamic, volatility-adjusted protection.

TAKE PROFIT
2.0 × Risk (RR 1:2)

Initial target at twice the risk distance. Optional ATR-based trailing stop can be enabled to capture extended moves.

POSITION SIZING
1% Account Risk

Lot size is automatically calculated so that the distance to stop loss represents exactly 1% of current equity. Strict single-position rule.
