Long Entry Rules

Enter a buy order if the following indicator or chart pattern gets displayed:

  1. If the aqua upward pointing arrow of the Harami.ex4 custom indicator is seen below the candlesticks as depicted on Fig. 1.0, price is said to be pushed higher, hence a trigger to enter a buy.
  2. If price closes above the middle line of the Keltner_Chanel.ex4 custom indicator, and further opens above the line as shown on Fig. 1.0, the market sentiment is said to be bullish, hence a signal to buy the currency of interest.

Stop Loss for Buy Entry: Place stop loss 2 pips below immediate support.

Exit or take profit on position(s) if the following rules or conditions take center stage:
