Long Entry Rules
Enter a buy in the market if the following chart or indicator pattern gets displayed:
- Upon drawing trendlines that connects the most significant tops and bottom, if price breaks the trendline that holds more up Fractals than down fractals, it is an indication of a bullish price action i.e. a long entry for the asset of interest.
- If the FourAverage.ex4 (FA) custom indicator forms lime colored histograms above the 0.00 signal level, it is a trigger to go long on the pair of interest.
Stop Loss for Buy Entry: Place stop loss below support.
Exit Strategy/Take Profit for Buy Entry

- If price breaks below the trendline that connects the most significant bottoms as shown on Fig. 1.0, i.e. the trendline that price broke off for the buy entry. This is a trigger to exit or take profit accordingly.

About The Trading Indicators
The FourAverage.ex4 custom indicator by Bill Williams can be deployed as a stand-alone technical study or in combination.
The indicator is essentially a recurring pattern that is able to forecast reversals among more chaotic and lager price actions.
The Fractal_Original.ex4 custom indicator is made up four important moving averages i.e. the SMA 200, SMA 21, SMA 114 and SMA 83.
It combines arrows (that are on the activity chart) and histograms (within the indicator window) to deliver buy and sell alert.
