Long Entry Rules
Initiate a buy entry if the following indicator or chart pattern gets put on display:
- If the light blue line of the Slope Direction Line custom indicator aligns somewhat below the candlesticks as shown on Fig. 1.0, price is said to be driven to the upside, as such a trigger to go long is apt.
- If the spring green upward pointing arrow of the SMA-Crossover_Signal forex indicator aligns below the price bars as seen on Fig. 1.0, bulls are said to be driving price higher, thus a signal to buy the underlying forex pair.
- If the red and green lines of the Relative Vigor Index Metatrader 4 forex indicator break and hover above the zero signal level, the overall market sentiment is said to be bullish i.e. a trigger to buy the selected currency pair.
