Long Entry Rules
Initiate a buy order if the following indicator or chart pattern gets displayed:
- If price breaks above the Trend Line (blue line seen on Fig. 1.0) drawn on the lower highs on the activity chart, price is said to pushing to the upside, hence a trigger to go long on the designated currency pair.
- If the dodger blue upward pointing arrow of the BykovTrend_Sig.ex4 custom indicator forms somewhat below the candlesticks as illustrated on Fig. 1.0. It is a signal to buy the selected currency pair.
- If the lines of the Stochastic custom indicator cuts above the oversold region (below the 20.00 signal level), it is a signal to go long on positions of interest.
Stop Loss for Buy Entry: Place stop loss 2 pips below immediate support.

Exit or take profit if the following holds true:
- If price breaks below the trend line after indicating a bullish trend, it is suitable to exit or take profit at such point.
- If the BykovTrend_Sig.ex4 custom indicator forms a red downward pointing arrow that is placed somewhat above the candlesticks, an exit or take profit is recommended.
- If the fast line of the Stochastic indicator (%K) breaks below the overbought region (above the 80.00 signal level), a bullish reversal is said to be underway, hence an exit or take profit is advised.
Sell Entry Rules
Enter a sell in the market if the following rules or conditions are in place:

About The Trading Indicators
The Stochastic Indicator is a momentum oscillator that is attributed to George Lane.
The indicator is made up of two lines, the %K fast line and the %D slow line, while it oscillates between 1 and 100.
Essentially, the Stochastic gauges the relationship between an assets closing price and its price range over a specified time period.
A trend line is a negative or positive slope that is formed by connecting two or more high or low points respectively.
The BykovTrend_Sig.ex4 custom indicator is a technical analysis tool that gauges trend with the use of an upward pointing dodger blue and downward pointing red arrows.
