Strategy
Long Entry Rules
Enter a buy in the market if the following rules or conditions are met:
- If the blue line of the 100Pips Momentum indicator crosses the red line bottom up, it is an indication that prices is experiencing some upward pressures i.e. a buy signal.
- If the ADXR line crosses above the 25.0000 level as shown on Fig. 1.0, indications a strong trend, meanwhile when it crosses above the 40.0000 level, the trend is said to be very strong.
At the same time, if the +DI (dotted YellowGreen) line is above the -DI (dotted wheat) line, the trend is confirmed to be bullish and adding both signals indicates a strong bullish trend.
Stop Loss for Buy Entry: Place stop loss below immediate support.
Exit Strategy/Take Profit for Buy Entry
Exit or take profit on position(s) if the following conditions or rules hold sway:
- If the blue line of the 100Pips Momentum indicator crosses the red line downwards, it indicates a changing trend i.e. an exit or take profit is advised.
- Based on individual trading preference, if the ADXR line breaks below the 40.0000 mark, it indicates that the current trend is not so strong and if it further breaches the 25.0000 level, it goes to say that the strength of the current trend is winding down.
I’ll advice an exit below the 40.0000 level. On the instance when the +DI line crosses the –DI line, an exit or take profit can also be applied.

Initiate a sell in the market if the following conditions are true:
- If the blue line of the 100Pips Momentum indicator crosses the red line downwards, with the red line staying above the blue line, it is an indication that prices is heading bearish.
