Long Entry Rules

Initiate a buy order if the following indicator or chart pattern takes precedence:

  1. If the 1-2-3 forex pattern forms in the midst of a downtrend as seen on Fig. 1.0, with price finally breaking above the peak level labelled 2 (marked with the black horizontal line), price is said to be on its way up i.e. a buy order.
  2. If the red histograms of the Figurelli Series.ex4 custom indicator aligns above the 0.00 signal level as illustrated on Fig. 1.0, the market sentiment is said to be bullish, hence a trigger to go long on the designated pair.

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

Exit Strategy/Take Profit for Buy Entry

Exit or take profit if the following rules or conditions are in place:

  1. If price breaks below two consecutive Fibonacci retracement levels, then price can be said to be experiencing downward pressures i.e. a trigger to exit or take profit at once.
  2. If the histograms of the Figurelli Series.ex4 custom indicator align below the 0.00 signal level, price is said to be pushed lower, hence a trigger to exit or take profit without delay.

  1. If the 1-2-3 forex pattern forms in the midst of a uptrend as depicted on Fig. 1.1, with price finally breaking below the bottom level labelled 2 (marked with the black horizontal line), price is said to be on its way down i.e. a sell order.
  2. If the red histograms of the Figurelli Series.ex4 custom indicator aligns below the 0.00 signal level as seen on Fig. 1.1, the market sentiment is said to be bearish, hence a trigger to go short on the designated currency pair.

Stop Loss for Sell Entry: Place stop loss above immediate resistance.
