    Long Entry Rules

    Place buy orders in the market if the following indicator or chart pattern gets displayed:

    1. If the red upward pointing arrow of the ZigAndZag.ex4 custom indicator aligns somewhat below the candlesticks as seen on Fig. 1.0, it is an indication of an upward price surge, hence a signal to buy the currency pair of focus.
    2. If the lime bars of the XO custom indicator aligns above the 0.00 level as depicted on Fig. 1.0, the sentiment in the market is said to be somewhat bullish, hence a nod to buy the asset of choice.

    Stop Loss for Buy Entry: Place stop loss 3 pips below short-term support.

    Exit Strategy/Take Profit for Buy Entry

    Exit or take profit if the following rules or conditions are met:

    1. If the ZigAndZag.ex4 custom indicator forms a downward pointing arrow that pops up above the candlesticks during an ongoing buy condition, then it is a trigger to exit or take profit at once.
    2. If the XO custom indicator forms a red bar when long positions are live in the market, then it is a pointer to possible weaning Bulls power, hence an exit or take profit is recommended.

    Sell Entry Rules

    Take up sell position(s) if the following holds true:

    1. If the red downward pointing arrow of the ZigAndZag.ex4 custom indicator aligns somewhat above the candlesticks as shown on Fig. 1.1, it is an indication of a downward price dip, hence a signal to sell the designated forex pair.
    2. If the red bars of the XO custom indicator aligns below the 0.00 level as illustrated on Fig. 1.1, the sentiment in the market is said to be somewhat bearish, hence a nod to sell the specified currency pair.

    Stop Loss for Sell Entry: Place stop loss 3 pips above short-term resistance.

    Exit Strategy/Take Profit for Sell Entry

    Exit or take profit if the following takes center stage:

    1. If the ZigAndZag.ex4 custom indicator forms an upward pointing arrow that pops up somewhere below the candlesticks during an ongoing sell condition, then it is a trigger to exit or take profit at once.
    2. If the XO custom indicator forms a lime bar when short positions are live in the market, then it is a pointer to possible weaning Bears power, hence an exit or take profit is recommended.
