Online Foreign Currency Trading – The 3 EMA Crossover Profitable Trading Strategy For Forex Trends Trading

Profitable Trading Strategy For Forex Trends. The EMA is very popular in forex trading, so much so that it is often the basis of a trader’s main trading strategy.

 

 

1. Exponential Moving Average 5-period (EMA5, Black color in the illustrations)
2. Exponential Moving Average 15-period (EMA15, Blue color in the illustrations)
3. Exponential Moving Average 60-period (EMA60, Green color in the illustrations)

These are standard, common indicators and are included in every charting program. You can use any charting software program you like: E-signal, MetaStock, TradeStation, MetaTrader….

This system is used for 1-hour timeframe. You can also use it for 4-hour and daily timeframes. But in that case, you have to tweak the stop loss, profit target, trailing stop appropriately.

 

We must first establish that we’re in a strong uptrend using these 3 rules:

1. EMA60 and EMA15 are both pointing up.
2. EMA5 is ABOVE EMA15.
3. EMA15 is ABOVE EMA60.

When we have these three conditions, we know that we’re in an uptrend.

We then wait for the price to fall back, and touch the EMA60. When that happens, we enter with two lots.

• Stop Loss: We place a protective stop loss at -40 pips.
• Profit Targets: When we have 40 pips in profit we exit one lot. Move stop loss to break even for the second lot. We then use a trailing stop of 40 pips for that lot. That means, when we’re 80 pips in profit, we move stop loss to 40 pips. And so on…

We can also move stop loss to the recent high each time price break that high. That way, we can follow the trend until the end.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We must first establish that we’re in a strong downtrend using these 3 rules:

1. EMA 60 and EMA15 are both pointing down.
2. EMA5 is BELOW EMA15.
3. EMA15 is BELOW EMA60.

When we have these three conditions, we know that we’re in a downtrend.

We then wait for the price to retrace, and touch the EMA60. When that happens, we enter with two lots.

• Stop Loss: We place a protective stop loss at -40 pips.
• Profit Targets: When we have 40 pips in profit we exit one lot. Move stop loss to break even for the second lot. We then use a trailing stop of 40 pips for that lot. That means, when we’re 80 pips in profit, we move stop loss to 40 pips. And so on…

We can also move stop loss to the recent low each time price break that low. That way, we can follow the trend until the end.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I recommend using CFC1 in 1-hour, 4-hour, and daily timeframes.

 

I recommend using the CFC1 for the following currency pairs: EUR/USD, GBP/USD, GBP/JPY, USD/CHF, EUR/JPY.

 

Never risk more than 1% of your account on any single trade. You may use variable posing sizing with this system and vary your position size depending on your stop loss such that you risk only 1% of your account.

We enter a short (sell) trade when these two conditions happen:

1. EMA5 crosses below EMA12.
2. Parabolic SAR dot appears above the price candlestick.

Stop loss: We place a protective stop loss at -50 pips.
Profit Target: We exit the trade when the Parabolic SAR dot appears below the price candlestick.

Alternatively, we can also use a trailing stop of 50 pips to follow the trend.
