    Long Entry Rules

    Initiate a buy entry if the following indicator or chart pattern gets put on display:

    • If the blue 36 EMA indicator line crosses below the multi-colored DynamicRS_C indicator line as shown on Fig. 1.0, price is said to be driven to the upside, therefore a buy alert will suffice.
    • If the multi-colored line of the dsl_-_DMI_oscillator indicator breaksabove the zero horizontal level as depicted on Fig. 1.0, the general market sentiment is said to be bullish, as such a buy trigger will do.

    Stop Loss for Buy Entry: Place stop loss below 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 running, the blue 36 EMA indicator line intersects the multi-colored DynamicRS_C indicator line (see Fig. 1.0), it is pointing to diminishing bulls power, hence a signal to exit or take profit immediately.
    • If the multi-colored line of the dsl_-_DMI_oscillator indicator dips below the 0.00 reference level during the course of a bullish trend, it an indication of weaning bulls power, as such an exit or take profit stance is recommended.

    Sell Entry Rules

    Enter a sell order if the following holds true:

    • If the blue 36 EMA indicator line crosses above the multi-colored DynamicRS_C indicator line as illustrated on Fig. 1.1, price is said to be dragged lower, therefore a sell alert will do.
    • If the multi-colored line of the dsl_-_DMI_oscillator indicator dips & runs below the zero reference level as exemplified on Fig. 1.1, the overall market sentiment is said to be bearish, thus a signal to go short on the selected forex pair.

    Stop Loss for Sell Entry: Place stop loss above resistance.

    Exit Strategy/Take Profit for Sell Entry

    Exit or take profit if the following takes center stage:

    • If while a bearish trend is ongoing, the blue 36 EMA indicator line intersects the multi-colored DynamicRS_C indicator line (refer to Fig. 1.1), bears are said to be closing their positions increasingly, therefore an exit or take profit stance is advised.
    • If the multi-colored line of the dsl_-_DMI_oscillator indicator readjust to spike above the 0.00 reference level while a bearish trend is on course, it an indication of halting bears power, hence a trigger to exit or take profit at once.

    About The Forex Technical Indicators Used

    The DynamicRS_C is a trend following indicator that shows price change.

    When the line of indicator is painted red, it denotes a bearish signal while aqua depicts bullish market sentiment.

    The yellow filled segment reveals periods of market indecision.

    The 36 EMA is an exponential moving average that has its period set at 36 and reduces the lag by adding more weight to recent price.

    The dsl_-_DMI_oscillator is a ‌DMI oscillator version of dsl (discontinued signal lines) and can be used both in trend and counter trend trading but the dsl component is known to add to momentum strength estimation.
