Strategy
Long Entry Rules
Initiate a buy order if the following indicator or chart pattern gets put on display:
- If the magenta dotted line of the HMA_v2 custom MT4 indicator gets placed somewhat below price bars as shown on Fig. 1.0, price is said to be taken higher i.e. a trigger to buy the stipulated currency pair.
- If the red line of the 100pips Momentum custom indicator intersects the blue line in a bottom up manner as depicted on Fig. 1.0, the overall market sentiment is said to be bullish, hence a buy alert will suffice.
Stop Loss for Buy Entry: Place stop loss 3 pips below trading support.
Exit Strategy/Take Profit for Buy Entry
Exit or take profit if the following rules or conditions takes precedence:
- If while a buy signal is ongoing, a chartreuse dot pops up somewhat above the candlesticks as illustrated on Fig. 1.0, price is said to be making a U-turn away from its earlier stance, as such an exit or take profit will suffice.
- If the lines (red & blue) of the 100pips Momentum MT4 indicator intersect during a bullish trend, it is an indication of weaning bulls power, hence an exit or take profit is advised.
Sell Entry Rules
Enter a sell order if the following holds true:
- If the chartreuse dotted line of the HMA_v2 custom MT4 indicator gets aligned slightly above the candlesticks as seen on Fig. 1.1, price is said to be driven lower i.e. a trigger to sell the elected fx pair.
- If the red line of the 100pips Momentum custom indicator cuts through the blue line in a top downward fashion (see Fig. 1.1), the overall market sentiment is said to be bearish, hence a trigger to go short at once.
Stop Loss for Sell Entry: Place stop loss 3 pips above trading resistance.
Exit Strategy/Take Profit for Sell Entry
Exit or take profit if the following takes to the fore:
- If while a sell alert is running, a magenta dot gets put on display within the activity chart (refer to Fig. 1.1), price is said to be making a possible bullish reversal, as such an exit or take profit will do.
