The Wave forex strategy

Price moves in waves (swings) up or down. In trend, wave in its direction tends to be longer. Struggle between bulls and bears for price dominance is represented by pull back formation. When one group of traders moves the price substantially in one direction (inital wave), the other group will consider this to be a good price for them to try and push the price back. This will create typical pullback formations in wave structure of the price.

By comparing initial swing (wave) to the pullback formation, we can often times estimate strength of the trend and commitment of trading group opposing it. Small pullback formation (when compared to initial wave) often times mark great entry to follow the trend.

Signal is confirmed once the initial wave reaches new high/low after the pullback formation (correction).

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.

This forex strategy uses zigzag forex indicator together with bollinger bands for maximum accuracy and to be able to enter only the signal waves with massive momentum that is necessary to break outside of bollinger bands boundaries.

Used forex indicators.

ZigZag forex indicator (8,5,3). ZigZag will mark the initial (signal wave 1.). It will be followed by correction wave. Correction wave will serve as a signal confirmation and guide for stop a profit targets placement

Bollinger bands (20). Boolinger bands can adapt to market volatility. Therefore, breakout of one of boundaries signalizes sufficient momentum of swing that should be followed by price continuation. This will be confirmed by correction wave.
