    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 blue line of the Ichimoku Kinko Hyo Metatrader 5 forex indicator crosses below the red line as shown on Fig. 1.0, price is said to be driven higher i.e. a trigger to go long on the stipulated forex pair.
    2. If the deep sky blue bars of the Average penetration bars custom indicator pops up within the activity chart as illustrated on Fig. 1.0, the overall market sentiment is said to be bullish, therefore a buy signal is highly recommended.

    Suggested Stop Loss for Buy Entry: Place stop loss 3 pips below the most recent support low.

    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 blue line of the Ichimoku Kinko Hyo indicator intersects its red line (see Fig. 1.0), more and more bulls are said to be exiting the market, as such an exit or take profit stance is advised.
    2. If the Average penetration bars forex indicator displays a sandy brown bar during the course of a bullish signal, it is pointing to diminishing bulls power, hence an exit or take profit will suffice.

    Sell Entry

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

    1. If the blue line of the Ichimoku Kinko Hyo forex indicator crosses above the red line as exemplified on Fig. 1.1, more bears are said to be entering the market i.e. an alert to sell the currency pair of focus.
    2. If the sandy brown bars of the Average penetration bars custom indicator pops up within the activity chart as seen on Fig. 1.1, the general market sentiment is said to be bearish i.e. a signal to sell the currency pair of interest.

    Suggested Stop Loss for Sell Entry: Place stop loss 3 pips above the most recent resistance high.

    Suggested Exit Strategy/Take Profit for Sell Entry

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

    1. If while a bearish trend is ongoing, the blue line of the Ichimoku Kinko Hyo intersects its red line (refer to Fig. 1.1), it is pointing to diminishing bears strength, as such an exit or take profit stance will suffice.
    2. If the Average penetration bars forex indicator displays a deep sky blue bar while a bearish signal is running, it is signaling halting bears power, hence an exit or take profit will do.
