Logic Day

1.    What is Logic Day Trading?

The Logic Day Trading Indicator is a tool designed for scalping and day trading on intraday charts, particularly effective on the 30-minute and 1-hour time frames.


It is based on Donchian breakouts and price patterns and uniquely uses only price action to identify trade setups, without relying on any lagging indicators for pattern detection. This approach allows the indicator to respond quickly to market changes, aiding traders in entering profitable trades as early as possible and maximizing profits from intraday price movements​​.


This indicator is particularly adept at scalping on the 30-minute time frame, where it can effectively detect trade opportunities. For instance, using a straightforward strategy of buying on upward price move signals and selling on downward ones, the indicator can facilitate multiple winning trades.


The indicator also works extremely well for Day-Trading on 1-Hour time frame. Here is an example on the AUDUSD hourly chart:


The Logic Day Trading Indicator is proficient in detecting true breakouts with accuracy and is described as an excellent tool for catching market tops and bottoms. For instance, here is the GBPUSD hourly chart:

The integration of "underlying trend" filters into the indicator's algorithm further enhances its effectiveness by ensuring it detects setups that align with the underlying market trend and filters out false signals. For example the GBPJPY 2h chart below:
