The Quasimodo Forex strategy is rooted around some form of support and resistance patterns which in most case is the foundation of many profitable trading strategies.
The general idea behind this system is to extend a horizontal level into the future price from the left shoulder and to then execute buy and sell entries based on this zone.
Quasimodo Short Signal Pattern is explained as follows
- The presence of a preceding uptrend in the markets
- Price should register a fresh high, dip and test a fresh local low
- Price then surges above the prior high (in No. 1) to register a new higher high
- Price then declines to register a fresh lower low (somewhat below No. 2)
- Price then heads to the first high in No 1. (but is unable to register a new higher high).
A short trigger is in place sequel to the condition in No. 5.
The reverse of the above stated steps is the Quasimodo Long Signal Pattern and the addition of technical indicators to this increases the confidence in the setup.

- Watch out for the formation of the Quasimodo Long Signal Pattern, which includes the presence of a preceding bears trend, price is seen to make a fresh low at point 1, proceed to make a run higher to form a fresh local high at Point 2, dips to form a fresh lower low at point 3, price rallies back to form a fresh higher high at 4 and then declines to form support around the level from the left shoulder on Point 1 at Point 5.
- If the pink and lime lines of the RainbowMMA_05 custom indicator cross below the blue line of the r_Gator indicator in a bottom up manner as seen on Fig. 1.0, price is said to be pushed to the upside i.e. a trigger to buy the designated currency pair.
- If the light sea green line of the DeMarker Metatrader 4 indicator break and hovers above the 0.50 horizontal level as shown on Fig. 1.0, the general market sentiment is said to be bullish, thus a trigger to buy the desired forex pair.

About The Forex Technical Indicators Used
The RainbowMMA_05 custom indicator is the fifth GMMA forex series of eleven technical indicators, largely dependent on the Guppy multi moving average.
The r_Gator is an indicator that takes after the Alligator MT4 indicator (since they show comparable values for the MA periods), but the r_gator only produces its signal earlier than the Alligator.
The DeMarker indicator is an oscillator designed by Tom Demark that also finds use when traders are trying to determine potential overbought and oversold regions in the market.
