OilBrend is an intraday algorithmic trading strategy focused on the Brent crude oil market. It operates using a rules-based framework centered on price action, volume analysis, and liquidity zones such as the Point of Control (POC). The strategy aims to identify continuation opportunities by monitoring momentum-driven price movements supported by increased volume and validating trades within the broader market context.

Key features include detection of pullbacks toward the POC, confirmation of price behavior before entry, and execution only when all predefined conditions are met. Risk management is integral, employing fixed stop loss placements, dynamic trade management to protect unrealized gains, and partial or full exits based on evolving price signals.

The strategy emphasizes volume-supported market structures and rule-based filtering to reduce low-conviction setups, relying on confirmation-driven entries rather than anticipatory trades. It is designed for swing trading with medium trade frequency, using market orders on a 5-minute chart resolution. Backtesting covers the period from April 2020 to March 2026 with leverage of 1:100. The recommended minimum balance is $500, with risk per trade set at 2%. The strategy targets a profit factor of 2.34 and an estimated return on investment of 160%. It supports technical analysis and is compatible with the Pepperstone broker.
