Long Entry Rules
Initiate a buy entry if the following indicator or chart pattern gets put on display:
- If the SimpleMovingAveragesSignals custom indicator pops up a spring green upward pointing arrow that is aligned somewhat below the candlesticks as depicted on Fig. 1.0, price is said to be driven to the upside i.e. a signal to buy the currency pair of interest.
- If the blue line of the MFI_price custom indicator breaks and stays above the 50.00 horizontal level as exemplified on Fig. 1.0, the general market sentiment is said to be bullish, thus a trigger to buy the underlying forex pair.
- If the light sea green line of the Commodity Channel Index Metatrader 4 forex indicator breaks& hovers above the zero reference line (see Fig. 1.0), it typifies upward price pressures, hence a signal to buy the stipulated fx pair.
Stop Loss for Buy Entry: Place stop loss below short-term support.
Exit Strategy/Take Profit for Buy Entry
Exit or take profit if the following rules or conditions takes precedence:
- If while a bullish trend is ongoing, the SimpleMovingAveragesSignals indicator displays a red downward pointing arrow, bulls are said to be leaving the market increasingly, as such an exit or take profit stance is recommended.
- If the blue line of the MFI_price indicator suddenly dips below the 50.00 level while a bullish signal is running, it is pointing to a likely bearish reversal, hence a trigger to exit or take profit forthwith.
- If during the course of a bullish trend, the light sea green line of the CCI indicator drops below the zero center line (see Fig. 1.0), it is pointing to a likely U-turn in price action, as such an exit or take profit stance will suffice.
Sell Entry Rules

- If the SimpleMovingAveragesSignals custom indicator pops up a red downward pointing arrow that is positioned fairly above the price bar as shown on Fig. 1.1, market is said to be in support of lower prices i.e. a signal to go short on the currency pair of focus.
- If the blue line of the MFI_price custom indicator dips and runs below the 50.00 reference level as illustrated on Fig. 1.1, the overall market sentiment is said to be bearish, therefore a sell alert is said to be imminent.

- If during the course of a bearish trend, the SimpleMovingAveragesSignals indicator pops up a spring green upward pointing arrow on the activity chart, it is signaling a probable end in bearish sentiment, as such an exit or take profit stance will suffice.
- If the blue line of the MFI_price indicator unexpectedly surges above the 50.00 level while a bearish trend is ongoing (checkout Fig. 1.1), it is pointing to a possible bullish reversal, hence an exit or take profit stance will do.
