Best Momentum Trading Strategy for Quick Profits with Bollinger Bands and 8 EMA

This is THE BEST MOMENTUM trading strategy.

Momentum” simply means BUY something if it is going up, and SELL it if it is going down.

There have been several academic surveys showing that applying this principle to all kinds of speculative markets is profitable over time and gives a winning trading “edge”.

Another type of Forex momentum strategy is a “best of” momentum trading strategy which buys those assets that are going up the most strongly and sells those going down most strongly.

This also tends to work well and in fact, tends to produce a greater reward to risk ratio than simple momentum strategies.

I am going to outline a Forex ‘Best of” Momentum Strategy that I have developed below, with backtest results.

Trading NOTES

For stop losses, I like to use the upper an lower Bolinger Bands. Yes, i know…, it takes experiences to manage “Stop Losses” manually. But it’s inevitable.

Targets can be multiples of your risk or target opposing price structures.

You can also use an indicator (ex. Pivots indicator) that may be suitable for that purpose to keep your profit taking objectives.
