Strategy
Long Entry Rules
Initiate a buy entry if the following indicator or chart pattern gets put on display:
- If the green upward pointing arrow of the ExponentialMovingAveragesSignals custom indicator stays somewhat below the price bars as seen on Fig. 1.0, bulls are said to be driving price higher i.e. a trigger to go long on the selected currency pair.
- If price opens, closes and runs above the middle line of the Bollinger Bands Metatrader 4 forex indicator as shown on Fig. 1.0, the overall market sentiment is said to be bullish, thus a signal to buy the selected forex pair.
- If the red histograms of the coppock indicator stay above the 0.00 horizontal level as illustrated on Fig. 1.0, bulls are said to be driving price higher, therefore a buy alert will suffice.
Stop Loss for Buy Entry: Place stop loss below the previous swing low.
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 ExponentialMovingAveragesSignals custom indicator displays a red downward pointing arrow, a bearish reversal is said to be looming, hence an exit or take profit stance is recommended.
- If price opens and closes below the middle line of the Bollinger Bands indicator during the course of the bullish trend (see Fig. 1.0), more and more bulls are said to be closing their positions, thus a trigger to exit or take profit.
- If the coppock indicator displays a red histogram below the 0.00 reference level while a bullish trend is running, bulls power is said to be diminishing, as such an exit or take profit stance is advised.
Sell Entry Rules
Enter a sell order if the following holds true:
- If the red downward pointing arrow of the ExponentialMovingAveragesSignals custom indicator stays slightly above the price bars as depicted on Fig. 1.1, bears are said to be driving price lower i.e. a trigger to go short on the currency pair of focus.
- If price opens, closes and runs below the middle line of the Bollinger Bands forex indicator as exemplified on Fig. 1.1, the general market sentiment is said to be bearish, as such a sell alert is imminent.
- If the red histograms of the coppock indicator align below the 0.00 reference level as demonstrated on Fig. 1.1, bulls are said to be driving price lower, therefore a sell alert will do.
Stop Loss for Sell Entry: Place stop loss above the previous swing high.
Exit Strategy/Take Profit for Sell Entry
Exit or take profit if the following takes center stage:
- If while a bearish trend is running, the ExponentialMovingAveragesSignals custom indicator pops up a green upward pointing arrow, a bullish reversal is said to be on the horizon, hence a trigger to exit or take profit forthwith.
- If price opens and closes above the middle line of the Bollinger Bands indicator while a bearish trend is on course (refer to Fig. 1.1), bears are said to be closing their orders increasingly, thus a signal to exit or take profit.
- If the red histogram of the coppock indicator readjust to stay above the 0.00 reference level while a bearish trend is ongoing, bears power is said to be halting, as such an exit or take profit stance is apt.
