MACD Moving average convergence divergence (500,250 and 250,100). We will use two independent MACD histograms. The goal is to identify major trend and confirm it by more recent trend development. This helps to avoid market reversals. We will be looking for entry with confluence with both MACD trends. To use it as a scalping forex strategy requires adjusting the periods of both MACD filters upwards.
Bollinger bands (BB period 40, deviation 2). We will be looking for price closing outside of BB tunnel only to close back within with next candle. We enter the trade once the price closes in the tunnel looking for a bounce in the direction of trend.
