EMA and MACD swing forex strategy

This is a simple, we could even say a basic swing forex strategy. We do not enter the trade just for the swings' sake, going against the trend. The trend is the primary confirmation signal. Only swings in confluence with the EMA trend are entered. Even though this system is conservative, it can be used as a base for more aggressive liquidation models with great results.
