Stochastics Cross Signal - forex trading charts iqd

Stochastics Cross Signal ~ forex trading charts iqd

A useful strategy to reduce your losses using stochastics crossover signals

Stochastics are often used to generate buy and sell signals when the %FastD crosses above or below %SlowD. Just how good are these signals?

The stochastic plot here shows where entries are indicated:I have not circled all the signals but just four in the center of the chart that only shows the stochastic plot. The buy signal occurs when %FastD crosses above %SlowD and the sell signal occurs when the opposite is seen – when the %FastD crosses below %SlowD. However there are two other signals in between that provide first a sell signal and then a buy the next bar. This is rather annoying.

Let us seen how the entries might look on a chart.
Clearly, when there is a modestly sustained move the Stochastic crossovers can provide a reasonable profit but all too often in the small, rather tight range consolidations it can give back much too much of hard earned profits.

Is there any way we can try and prevent this give back? I tend to consider the plain signals provided by momentum indicators as too simple and in a way that doesn’t really fully take price development into consideration. Does a reversal of the %FastD through %SlowD constitute a directional reversal? Personally I do not think so.

Then what does represent directional reversals? Well, if you go back to a fundamental premise on what constitutes a trend it can be defined by looking for higher highs and higher lows in an uptrend and vice versa for a downtrend. If we then just trade without looking at the price chart just because %FastD has crossed through %SlowD then we’re really not think about what we’re doing. Quite often price can see a one or two bar reversal but not to the extent that it penetrates the most recent sequence of higher lows (in an uptrend) or lower highs (in a downtrend.)

What we can do is stipulate that we’ll only buy on a Stochastic cross higher if price penetrates the last swing high, or if the Stochastic crossover is lower then on the breach if price penetrates the last swing low:You can see by doing this it does reduce the number of trades dramatically but actually takes out most of the losing trades. The first short sell to the bottom left of the chart will produce a loss – but this is compared to 6 losing trades without the price filter. The long trend is kept intact in the center of the chart as price rallies and is reversed soon after the peak. We then see two sell signals with no buy signals.

The techniques is not foolproof, as any methodology has its weak points at times, but it can be seen that using a price signal along with a momentum signals can dramatically reduce the number of losses you may need to take on using such a strategy.

Ultra short term forex strategy With Chart - forex trading scams in south africa

Ultra short term forex strategy With Chart ~ forex trading scams in south africa

The forex strategy that we will discuss here is an ultra-short term forex strategy useful for trading currency pairs on the 15 minute time frame. It can be used on any asset, but works best with currency pairs that are known to trend greatly.

Details
 This 15-minute forex trading strategy will use the following indicators:
- The 2-day exponential moving average (seen on the chart as the yellow line).
- The 5-day exponential moving average (seen on the chart as the red line).
- The 10-day exponential moving average (seen on the chart as the blue line).
- Forexoma_MACD, which is a modified version of the conventional MACD
indicator. Download: Forexoma-MACD.ex4
 Unlike the conventional version of the MACD, the Forexoma version is specifically colour-coded to ensure that as soon as the bars of the MACD start to show a change in direction, there is a colour change. The essence of this modification is to catch the trend changes much earlier, as it has been found that waiting for the conventional MACD indicator to change from positive to negative or from negative to positive causes a lag which delays the signal.

Long Entry Rules
The entry rules for the long trade are based on the cross of the shorter term EMA over the progressively longer term EMAs.
a) Buy when the 2EMA crosses above the 5EMA, and both 2EMA and 5EMA cross the 10 EMA in an upward direction.
b) The Forexoma MACD line must change colour from red colour to blue colour at the same time that the EMA crosses occur.
The positioning of the stop loss and profit targets is done at the discretion of the trader. However, it is important to mention that this is a trade with a very short term outlook, so it is in order if the profit targets do not exceed 30 pips per trade.

Short Entry Rules
The entry rules for the short trade are based on the downward cross of the shorter term EMA below the progressively longer term EMAs.
a) The trader should sell the currency pair when the 2EMA crosses beloow the 5EMA, and both 2EMA and 5EMA cross below the 10 EMA.
b) At the same time that the EMA crosses occur, the Forexoma MACD line must change colour from blue colour to red colour to reflect the change indirection of the moving averages.

Traders are at liberty to set the stop loss and profit targets at their own discretion. The short term outlook of this trade means that only a few pips should be aimed for at any given point in time, so it is in order to set stops and profit targets at a maximum of 30 pips per trade.

The charts below are illustrations of long and short orders using the strategy we have just outlined.


The chart above shows the three exponential moving averages as well as the Forexoma MACD indicator. We can see two sell and two buy signals, which provide clear identification of how the respective trades should be taken. The 2nd buy signal was not very successful because the asset was in consolidation mode.

 This is another chart which shows what happens when an asset is range-bound; the signals are not reliable as there is no room for the asset to get the volatility needed to generate profits. The only valid trade is the second sell signal which occurred when the asset started to trend lower.

The trade setups are valid as long as the asset is trending. The trader can tell if an asset is trending by checking if the currency pair is making higher lows and higher highs (uptrend) or lower highs and lower lows (downtrend)
