Trading Rules

Entry Rules
 

Long entry rules:

  • If the price is above the 50 and 100 SMA on 30-min chart. Then it’s a buy signal.

  • We enter when MACD histogram crosses zero line and become positive.

  • If MACD histograms already in the positive territory and making “lower highs”, then we’ll wait for the histograms to make “higher highs” to enter the market.  



Short entry rules:

  • If the price is below the 50 and 100 SMA on 30-min chart. Then it’s a sell signal.

  • We enter when MACD histogram crosses zero line and become negative.

  • If MACD histograms already in the negative territory and making “higher lows”, then we’ll wait for the histograms to make “lower lows” to enter the market. 



Exit Rule

  • We exit when MACD histograms making lower highs (long trade) or higher lows (short trade).




Stop Loss 

  • Set the stop beyond the 50 SMA.  

Take Profit

  • We take profit according to our exit rule. 


    Long Trade Example:




    Short Trade Example:





    You must test this system thoroughly through back testing and by trading it live on a demo account for at least 2 months. After two months of testing if you find it profitable, only then use it on a real account. 

    Tips:


    *THE MARKET PAYS YOU TO BE DISCIPLINED. 




    *No system works during news releases. So watch out for the news. I use investing.com‘s economic calendar for the news, which is the best one I know. 


    *Every system works most during London and US session


    *If you wanna learn Forex Trading properly, then you must read babypips.com’s school of pipsology completely. And then you must read all the books available in this website.
