Long Entry Rules
Initiate a buy entry if the following indicator or chart pattern gets put on display:
- If the red signal ball of the SHI_SilverTrendSig custom indicator forms below the candlesticks as seen on Fig. 1.0, bulls are said to be driving price higher, thus a trigger to buy the designated currency pair.
- If the deep sky blue bars of the SEFC084 custom indicator stack up above the 0.00 horizontal level as shown on Fig. 1.0, it is pointing to mounting bulls pressure, hence a signal to go long on the designated forex pair.
- If the light sea green line of the ADX Metatrader 4 indicator breaks above the 20.00 horizontal level as illustrated on Fig. 1.0, a strong trend is said to be forming and we’ll require directional confirmation from the other technical indicators.
Stop Loss for Buy Entry: Place stop loss 5 pips below swing support.
Exit Strategy/Take Profit for Buy Entry
Exit or take profit if the following rules or conditions takes precedence:
- If while a bullish trend is on course, the SHI_SilverTrendSig custom indicator pops up a blue signal ball on the activity chart, it is signaling exhaustion in bulls’ power, therefore an exit or take profit stance is advised.
- If the SEFC084 custom indicator pops up a violet bar that is aligned below the 0.00 reference level during a bullish trend, bulls are said to be leaving the market in their droves, thus a signal to exit or take profit forthwith.
- If the light sea green line of the Average Directional Movement Index indicator slips below the 20.00 level as depicted on Fig. 1.0, a bearish reversal is said to be imminent, thus a trigger to exit or take profit immediately.
Sell Entry Rules
Enter a sell order if the following holds true:
- If the blue signal ball of the SHI_SilverTrendSig custom indicator pops up above the price bars as exemplified on Fig. 1.1, bears are said to be pushing for lower prices, therefore a sell signal will suffice.
- If the violet bars of the SEFC084 custom indicator stack up below the 0.00 reference level as depicted on Fig. 1.1, bears are said to be driving market sentiments, as such a sell order will do.
- If the light sea green line of the ADX indicator breaks above the 20.00 horizontal level (refer to Fig. 1.1), a strong trend is said to be developing and we’ll need directional confirmation from the other technical indicators.
Stop Loss for Sell Entry: Place stop loss 5 pips above swing resistance.
Exit Strategy/Take Profit for Sell Entry
Exit or take profit if the following takes center stage:
- If while a bearish trend is on course, the SHI_SilverTrendSig custom indicator pops up a red signal ball on the chart window, bears power is said to be halting, therefore an exit or take profit stance is recommended.
- If the SEFC084 custom indicator displays a deep sky blue bar that is positioned above the 0.00 reference level while a bearish trend is ongoing (see Fig. 1.1), bears are said to be closing their positions more and more i.e. a trigger to exit or take profit at once.
- If the light sea green line of the Average Directional Movement Index indicator dips below the 20.00 level during a bearish trend, a bullish reversal is said to be in the cards, thus a trigger to exit or take profit without delay.
