    • If the thistle cloud of the Ichimoku Kinko Hyo Metatrader 4 forex indicator crosses below the blue line of the 16 SMA indicator in a bottom up manner as illustrated on Fig. 1.0, bulls are said to be pushing for higher prices, thus a signal to go long on the selected currency pair.
    • If the lime & red histograms of the Rads_MACD custom indicator align above the zero horizontal level as shown on Fig. 1.0, the leading market sentiment is bullish, therefore a buy alert is said to be recommended.

    Exit or take profit if the following rules or conditions takes precedence:

    • If the sandy brown cloud of the Ichimoku Kinko Hyo forex indicator runs above the blue 16 SMA indicator line during the course of a bullish trend, price is said to be making a likely bearish reversal, as such an exit or take profit stance is recommended.

    Enter a sell order if the following holds true:

    • If the somewhat sandy brown cloud of the Ichimoku Kinko Hyo forex indicator crosses above the blue line of the 16 SMA indicator in a top downward fashion as exemplified on Fig. 1.1, bears are said to be dragging price lower, thus a trigger to sell the designated fx pair.
    • If the red & lime histograms of the Rads_MACD custom indicator align below the zero horizontal level as seen on Fig. 1.1, the prevalent market sentiment is said to be bearish, therefore a sell alert is said to be on the horizon.

    Stop Loss for Sell Entry: Place stop loss above short-term resistance.

    Exit or take profit if the following takes center stage:

    • If the thistle cloud of the Ichimoku Kinko Hyo forex indicator runs below the blue 16 SMA indicator line while a bearish trend is on course, bears power is said to be diminishing i.e. a trigger to exit or take profit immediately.
    • If while a bearish trend is ongoing the Rads_MACD custom indicator pops up a lime histogram above the zero horizontal level (refer to Fig 1.1), more and more bears are said to be leaving the market, as such an exit or take profit stance is advised.
