Strategy Rules
Long Trades:
- Criteria #1: EMA’s tunnel sloping up – bullish market
- Criteria #2: CCI back above -100 level from below – oversold indicator readings

Implementation: The EUR/USD 4 Hour chart above provided me with 2 trade entries. One sell signal at 1.3004 with stop-loss above the most recent swing high at 1.3106. Price objective twice the total risk: 102 pips x 2 = 204 pips. One buy signal at 1.3108 with stop below the most recent swing low at 1.3062 (risk: 46 pips). Minimum price objective: 100 pips.
Trade result: 304 pips.
