Aggressive scalping with double MACD (FOREX strategy)

MACD might be the most useful indicator in forex. It is almost a shame to combine it with some other tool of either trend identification or position entry timing. By combining MACDs with different calculation periods, indicators can serve both as trend identification and entry signal. And it works very well.

This trading setup is extremely aggressive, accurate and with tight money management.

Used forex indicators

MACD (Moving average convergence divergence)

Trend identification: 48,102,9 (standard histogram)

Entry signal: 5,10,9 (thick red histogram)

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.
