    Strategy

    Long Entry Rules

    Initiate a buy entry if the following indicator or chart pattern gets put on display:

    • If the green bars of the AVQ_trend custom indicator superimpose on the candlesticks as seen on Fig. 1.0, price is said to be driven higher, thus a trigger to buy the stipulated currency pair.
    • If the blue line of the Alligator Metatrader 4 forex indicator crosses below the lime and red lines in a bottom up manner as shown on Fig. 1.0, bulls are said to be weighing in on price, hence a trigger to buy the underlying fx pair.
    • If the ScalpCycle custom indicator displays fairly ascending upward pointing silver arrows within its window (see Fig. 1.0), more and more bulls are said to be driving sentiments, as such a buy alert is said to be looming.

    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 during the course of a bullish trend the AVQ_trend custom indicator pops up a red bar within the chart window, it is signaling weaning bulls power, hence a signal to exit or take profit at once.
    • If the blue line of the Alligator indicator intersects the red line while a bullish trend is ongoing, the overall bullish market sentiment is said to be diminishing i.e. a signal to exit or take profit immediately.
    • If while a bullish trend is running, the ScalpCycle custom indicator displays a red downward pointing arrow as depicted on Fig. 1.0, it is a signal to exit or take profit without delay.

    Sell Entry Rules

    Enter a sell order if the following holds true:

    • If the red bars of the AVQ_trend custom indicator superimpose on the price bars as exemplified on Fig. 1.1, the prevalent sentiment is said to be bearish, hence a sell alert will suffice.
    • If the blue line of the Alligator indicator crosses above the lime and red lines in a top downward fashion (refer to Fig. 1.1), bears are said to be increasingly taking up positions, therefore a sell alert is in the cards.
    • If the ScalpCycle custom indicator displays somewhat descending downward pointing red arrows within its window (checkout Fig. 1.1), price is said to be driven lower, hence a trigger to sell the underlying fx pair.

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

    Exit Strategy/Take Profit for Sell Entry

    Exit or take profit if the following takes center stage:

    • If the AVQ_trend custom indicator displays a green bar within the activity chart during the course of a bearish trend as demonstrated on Fig. 1.1, it is signaling diminishing bears power, thus an exit or take profit stance is apt.
    • If the blue line of the Alligator indicator intersects the red line while a bearish trend is on course, the general bearish market sentiment is said to be halting i.e. a signal to exit or take profit forthwith.
    • If while a bearish trend is ongoingand the ScalpCycle custom indicator displays a silver upward pointing arrow as represented on Fig. 1.1, it is a signal to exit or take profit straight away.
