Trading style: Ray Scalper is a strategy that uses an algorithm named “backward ray tracing” for determining its entry and take profit target; the stop loss, take profit and trailing stop are dynamically calculated based on the average true range. Even though its name says “scalper”, the average profitable trade is in excess of 30 pips and the average trade length exceeds 10 hours.
