Hi,
Your site is very informative. I have not seen a site like this with lots of trading systems to share. I have become a regular visitor to your site. Thanks for all the valuable information you share here.
Regards.
a second line.. hm.. could you please clarify what exactly would you like to do/achieve?
If it is about adding a second moving average, then simply add another indicator and change settings to whatever value your need.
Regards,
Edward.
thanks a lot for your infos. Please can you tell how to make the second line appear in metatrader platform.
You'll be able to withdraw your profits after you close your open trading positions.
To close a position, you can use Exit rules described above.
In addition, I would suggest drawing Pivot Points and add Fibonacci extension levels. Pivots and Fibonacci will help to mark potential profit targets. You may then either exit at those levels once you are in profit or tighten a stop loss and allow a trade to run further till EMAs cross back (as described in the exit rules above).

Hi, how do i get my money (profits) when i trade and get profits? what is the procedure/process? is it cumbersome.
Hi,
EMA stands for Exponential Moving Average. It is a fast moving average, where more weight is given to the latest data.
Ideally, a stop loss should be placed above/below the previous swing high (downtrend) / low (uptrend). If it appears to be too far, then traders should use a fixed stop which would be individual for each case and will depend on a money management and trading approach chosen by a trader.
Regards,
Edward.
hi,
Great website!!
Could you please let me know what does EMA stands for?
I know that MA is Moving average, but what does the E mean?
Another important unclear issue for this system : Where do I set the stop loss?
Forex Moving Averages don't extend in the future, they can only follow market price.
Regarding the best setups, there are as many of them as probably traders trading Forex. The best way to know which setup will work for you is to test it. Experimenting with indicators can be fun!
You can tell when the market starts moving sideways by looking at EMAs: as the inclination disappears, a flat almost horizontal EMA pattern starts to emerge.
While the market is trading sideways it does not make any new highs or new lows. You will be able to draw simple channel lines and watch the market trading inside that channel. A break out of the channel will re-establish a trending market mode.
