Strategy
Long Entry Rules
Initiate a buy entry if the following indicators or chart pattern gets displayed:
- If the deep sky blue dotted line of the AMA custom indicator gets aligned somewhat below price bars as shown on Fig. 1.0, price is said to be pressured to the upside i.e. a trigger to buy the currency of focus.
- If the green line and largely dodger blue histograms of the Aroon_Oscillator_v1 custom indicator breaks and stays above the 0.00 level as illustrated on Fig. 1.0, the sentiment in the market is said to be somewhat bullish i.e. a trigger to buy the designated currency pair.
Stop Loss for Buy Entry: Place stop loss 1 pip below support.
Exit Strategy/Take Profit for Buy Entry
Exit or take profit if the following rules or conditions are sustained:
- If during an ongoing buy signal the dotted line of the AMA custom indicator turns gold, it is an indication of more traders who are holding buy positions exiting their positions, hence an exit or take profit is advised.
- If the green line of the Aroon_Oscillator_v1 custom indicator eventually breaks below the 0.00 level during an ongoing buy signal, bulls power is said to be weaning, hence an exit or take profit is recommended.
Sell Entry Rules
Enter a sell order if the following holds precedence:
- If the gold dotted line of the AMA custom indicator gets aligned somewhat above the candlesticks as seen on Fig. 1.1, price is said to be pushed to the downside i.e. a trigger to sell the currency pair of interest.
- If the green line and largely red histograms of the Aroon_Oscillator_v1 custom indicator breaks and stays below the 0.00 level (refer to Fig. 1.1), the sentiment in the market is said to be somewhat bearish i.e. a trigger to sell the specified forex pair.
Stop Loss for Sell Entry: Place stop loss 1 pip above resistance.
Exit Strategy/Take Profit for Sell Entry
Exit or take profit if the following takes center stage:
- If while a sell alert is still on the dotted line of the AMA custom indicator turns deep sky blue, it is an indication of weaning bears power, as such an exit or take profit is duly recommended.
- If the green line of the Aroon_Oscillator_v1 custom indicator eventually breaks above the 0.00 level during an ongoing sell signal, bears power is said to be halting, hence an exit or take profit will suffice.
