As such the strategy employs the Double Exponential Moving Average (DEMA) and 100pips Power custom indicators in defining sell and buy points in the market.
We implement a DEMA crossover, using the DEMA (12) (red) and DEMA (14) (purple) on the chart window.

About The Trading Indicators
The double exponential moving average (DEMA) is a technical study that was developed by Patrick G. Mulloy in 1994 as an extension of the simple moving average formula.
It offers a smoother and faster MA with the core aim of reducing time lag present in traditional moving averages.
The 100pips Power indicator deploys a simple color visualization in defining trend i.e. red, blue and yellow which represents sell, buy and a range bound respectively.
