    Long Entry Rules

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

    1. If the dark violet histogram of the Turn_Area.ex4 custom indicator forms above the 0.00 signal level, price is said to be pushed to the upside i.e. a signal to buy the pair of focus.
    2. If price opens and closes above the lime colored middle line of the binary-options-bands custom indicator as shown on Fig. 1.0, the sentiment in the market is said to be bullish. Watch how price trades along the upper red band of the binary-options-bands MT4 indicator, an indication that the prevalent trend is bullish, hence we recommend a buy entry.

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

    Exit or take profit if the following holds sway on the activity chart:

    1. If the dark violet histogram of the Turn_Area.ex4 custom indicator forms below the 0.00 signal level during an ongoing bullish trend, it is an indication of halting buy pressures, hence an exit or take profit is advised.
    2. If price closes below the lime colored middle line of the binary-options-bands, it is an indication of weaning bulls pressure i.e. a trigger to exit or take profit at once.
