    Long Entry Rules

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

    2. If the blue & red lines of the Trix custom indicator break above the 0.00 level as shown on Fig. 1.0, price is said to be driven higher i.e. a buy alert is imminent.
    3. If the green histograms of the MACD MT4 indicator gets positioned above the 0.00 level (see Fig. 1.0), bulls are said to be pushing price higher, hence a buy trigger will suffice.

    Stop Loss for Buy Entry: Place stop loss 3 pips below the green Forexcloud.

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

    2. If the blue & red lines of the Trix custom indicator break below the 0.00 level as exemplified on Fig. 1.1, price is said to be taken lower i.e. a trigger to go short on the desired fx pair.
    3. If the green histograms of the MACD MT4 indicator gets placed below the 0.00 level (refer to Fig. 1.1), bears are said to be pushing price lower, hence a sell alert will do.

    About The Trading Indicators

    The ForexCloud resembles a cloud the way it sits itself above or below price bars, offering an overall market direction.

    When the cloud is red and sits above price bars, it denotes a bearish trend, while it denotes a bullish trend when it is green and sits below price bars.

    The Triple Exponential Moving Average or Trix momentum indicator that was developed by Jack Hutson in the 1980’s and finds its use in the spotting of percentage change in a triple exponentially smoothed moving average.

    The Moving average convergence divergence (MACD) is a trend-following momentum indicator that reveals the connection between two moving averages of price.
