    Strategy

    Long Entry Rules

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

    • If the magenta 28 SMA Metatrader 4 indicator line crosses below the dual colored Holt_double_exponential_smoothing_2.2 custom indicator line as depicted on Fig. 1.0, the general market sentiment is said to be bullish, as such a buy entry is said to be imminent.
    • If the gray line & lime green histograms of the Holt_double_exponential_smoothing_trend custom indicator break above the 0.00 horizontal level as illustrated on Fig. 1.0, price is said to be pressured to the upside, therefore it is a trigger to go bullish on the selected currency pair.

    Stop Loss for Buy Entry: Place stop loss below the magenta rising support line.

    Exit Strategy/Take Profit for Buy Entry

    Exit or take profit if the following rules or conditions takes precedence:

    • If the magenta line of the 28 SMA indicator intersects the dual colored Holt_double_exponential_smoothing_2.2 forex indicator line during the course of a bullish signal, it is a signal to exit or take profit at once.
    • If during the course of a bullish signal the gray line of the Holt_double_exponential_smoothing_trend indicator declines below the 0.00 reference level (see Fig. 1.0), it is signaling a likely end in bullish sentiment, therefore an exit or take profit stance is recommended.

    Sell Entry Rules

    Enter a sell order if the following holds true:

    • If the magenta 28 SMA forex indicator line crosses above the dual colored Holt_double_exponential_smoothing_2.2 custom indicator line as exemplified on Fig. 1.1, the overall market sentiment is said to be bearish, therefore a sell alert will do.
    • If the gray line & orange histograms of the Holt_double_exponential_smoothing_trend custom indicator dips below the 0.00 horizontal level as seen on Fig. 1.1, price is said to be dragged lower, therefore it is a trigger to go bearish on the currency pair of interest.

    Stop Loss for Sell Entry: Place stop loss above the magenta falling resistance line.

    Exit Strategy/Take Profit for Sell Entry

    Exit or take profit if the following takes center stage:

    • If the magenta line of the 28 SMA indicator intersects the dual colored Holt_double_exponential_smoothing_2.2 forex indicator while a bearish trend is on course, it is a signal to exit or take profit forthwith.
    • If the gray line of the Holt_double_exponential_smoothing_trend indicator surges above the 0.00 reference level during a bearish trend (check Fig. 1.1), it is pointing to a possible bullish reversal, therefore an exit or take profit stance is advised.
