Used tool and forex indicators
Exponential moving averages (EMA 500 and 250). Combination of two EMA lines is used to effectively identify current trend. We do so by simply comparing the position of fast and slow EMA relative to each other. This is one of the most common method of trend identification. It works very well in our forex strategy.
Parabolic SAR (max 0,15, step 0,01). SAR will identify current price swing (minor trend, correction) we want to enter in the direction trend just at the correction end. Various tests have shown that SAR works almost surprisingly well in fulfilling this task. Modify indicators step and max to apply it across other instruments.
Big candle formation: 6 candle chart formation. Sixth candle of the formation has larger body than previous five candles. It is also surpassing 1. Candle of the formation, closing in the direction of trend.
Big candle size (10 to 150 pips in test): To narrow down the search for suitable entry. We define the min/max size of our signal candle. Bigger candle inherently bring more momentum therefore it is most suitable for this type of entry. We will avoid entering the trend on narrow, hesitant candles. We want the price to move rapidly so trailing stop can be adjusted immediately upon the entry.
Trailing stop (extra deviation 30 pips) Trailing stop is adjusted and placed with last SAR dot close. According to standard trail stop rules, it is adjusted only in the direction of profitable trade, never to the negative direction.
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.
