Long Entry Rules
Initiate a buy entry if the following indicator or chart pattern gets displayed:
- If the medium turquoise line of the ytg_DveMashki_ind_w_Signals.ex4 custom indicator intersects the indicator’s yellow line and the red line of ZeroLAG_MA.ex4 bottom up as seen on Fig. 1.0, with dark slate blue bars forming below the candlesticks, price is said to be pressured to the upside i.e. a trigger to buy the currency of focus.
- If the green line and dodger blue histograms of the Aroon_Oscilator_v1 custom indicator align above the 0.00 signal level as depicted on Fig. 1.0, the market sentiment is believed to be somewhat bullish, hence initiate buy order(s).
Stop Loss for Buy Entry: Place stop loss below support.

- If the medium turquoise line of the ytg_DveMashki_ind_w_Signals.ex4 custom indicator intersects the indicator’s yellow line and the red line of ZeroLAG_MA.ex4 top downward during a buy signal, it points to weaning bulls power in the market, as such an exit or take profit will suffice.
- If the green line or red histograms of the Aroon_Oscilator_v1 custom indicator breaks below the 0.00 signal level during a buy signal, an exit or take profit should be considered straightaway.
