One can easily get an idea when to enter a trade and when to exit from trade from the chart. The indicator draws one line in the chart. The rule to follow is

 

Buy: When price closes above Blue line

 

Sell: When price closes below Blue line

 

You can use this indicator not just to trade in forex market but also in the stock market, commodity market like Gold, Silver etc. or any other trading market.

 

Points to Remember

 

    • Firstly, the author recommends using this technical indicator on higher time frame like H4. So, avoid this indicator for shorter time frames. We’ll discuss and learn other strategies and technical indicators for shorter time frame like H1 or 30 minutes.

 

    • Secondly, the price MUST close above or below the Blue indicator line to confirm the signal. Just “kissing” the indicator line does not give you green signal to risk your money.

 

    • Last but not the least and most important, this indicator gives false signal sometimes. So, use another recommended indicator Doda Bollinger Bands and Ichimoku along with it to filter out false signals.
