    Trading Strategy Rules For Buy and Sell Trades Explained

    Buy Entry

    Enter a buy trade if the following trading conditions are met:

    1. If the light sea green line of the ADX Metatrader 5 indicator breaks above the 25.00 horizontal level as shown on Fig. 1.0, a strong trend is said to be developing and we’ll require directional confirmation signals from other indicator(s).
    2. If the IdeaTrend custom indicator displays green histograms within its indicator window (see Fig. 1.0), price is said to be pressured higher i.e. a trigger to go long on the stipulated currency pair.
    3. If the iheikenashism indicator displays dodger blue price bars within the activity chart as illustrated on Fig. 1.0, the overall market sentiment is said to be bullish, therefore a buy trigger will suffice.

    Suggested Stop Loss for Buy Entry: Place stop loss 3 pips below immediate support.

    Suggested Exit Strategy/Take Profit for Buy Trade

    Exit the buy trade if the following trading conditions are met:

    1. If while a bullish trend is running, the light sea green ADX indicator line dips below the 25.00 horizontal signal level as depicted on Fig. 1.0, price is said to be entering a non-trending condition, therefore an exit or take profit is recommended.
    2. If the IdeaTrend custom indicator pops up red histogram within its window while a bullish trend is running, it is signaling weaning bulls power, as such an exit or take profit will suffice.
    3. If the iheikenashism indicator pops up a red price bar during the course of a bullish trend, it is pointing to diminishing bulls power, hence an exit or take profit will do.

    Sell Entry

    Open a sell trade if the following trading conditions are met:

    1. If the light sea green line of the ADX forex indicator breaks above the 25.00 horizontal level as shown on Fig. 1.1, a strong trend is said to be developing and we’ll need further directional confirmation from other indicator(s).
    2. If the IdeaTrend forex indicator displays red histograms within its indicator window (refer to Fig. 1.1), price is said to be dragged lower, as such a sell trigger is advised.
    3. If the iheikenashism indicator displays red price bars within the activity chart as exemplified on Fig. 1.1, the general market sentiment is said to be bearish, thus a trigger to go short on the designated currency pair.

    Suggested Stop Loss for Sell Entry: Place stop loss 3 pips above immediate resistance.

    Suggested Exit Strategy/Take Profit for Sell Entry

    Exit the sell trade if the following trading conditions are met:

    1. If during a bearish trend, the light sea green ADX indicator line falls below the 25.00 horizontal signal level as demonstrated on Fig. 1.1, price is said to be in a weak trend state, therefore an exit or take profit is duly advised.
    2. If the IdeaTrend custom indicator pops up a green histogram within its window during a bearish trend (check Fig. 1.1), it is an indicator that bears power is halting, as such an exit or take profit will suffice.
    3. If the iheikenashism indicator pops up a dodger blue price bar during the course of a bearish trend, it is pointing to weakening bears power, hence a signal to exit or take profit at once.
