    Strategy

    Buy Trade Setup

    Open a buy trade when the following conditions are met:

    • The ADMI MT4 indicator should be seeing its ADX (light sea green) line break above the 20.00 level, while also printing the +DI (yellow-green) line crossing above the -DI (wheat) line, thus indicating a bullish trend.
    • The blue and red lines of the Trix indicator should be crossing above the zero-horizontal level indicating a bullish trend reversal.
    • Price shows significant support on the Camarilla pivot point indicating a bullish trend reversal (see region around point “A” on Fig. 1.0).

    Stop Loss

    Set the stop loss below the pivot level.

    Take Profit

    • Close the trade as soon as the ADMI indicator’s +DI (yellow-green) line intersects the -DI (wheat) line.
    • Alternatively, close the trade for a predetermined profit target, for example exit the buy trade for +25 pips TP on the 5-minute time frame, or if the blue Trix indicator line dips below the zero-horizontal level.
    • Then again, close the position if a significant resistance level is determined on the Camarilla pivot levels.
