4 MA Strength Forex Trading Strategy

    The 4 MA Strength Forex trading strategy is reliant on trading pullbacks in a trending market.

    The strategy is designed to fully combine the strength of the prevalent trend that’s being traded together with its overbought or oversold price characteristics.

    You can use lower timeframes ( M1, M5, M15) but the higher timeframes (H1, H4) are my favorite ones for trading this strategy.

    Any currency pair is allowed with this strategy but I prefer the more volatile ones such as EUR/JPY, EUR/USD, GBP/JPY, EUR/AUD and GBP/USD.
