3 swing FOREX strategy

This forex strategy is based on fundamental market reactions, that are fuelled by crowd psychology. Therefore, strategy can be applied on all forex pairs and most of the time frames (above 15 min).

Indicator: fractals

Skills: trend line drawing

Basic premise of 3 swing forex strategy

While price trends it creates lower lows in downtrend and higher highs in uptrend. Failing to create new high means only one thing – trend is discontinued. Even the biggest and strongest trend have that one last max / min. How do you recognize it ? Simple, price will not reach further.

3 swing strategy helps to find those market turning points.

For the best results, trade with professional ECN/STP broker with MT4. If you can't trade with profit. Automatically copy the traders that are already profitable.

Rules:

In downtrend, looking for a long position.

We draw trend line connecting highs in the downtrend.

Main feature of downtrend – lower lows are created as the price declines (those are marked by fractals).
