Hi Edward,
Thanks so much for all the great info. I was wondering about the stop loss on this strategy. I'm using MT demo and have it on 4 hours (no 3 available). I'd normally use 30 pips away from entry. Any suggestions?
Again, thanks for the site!
Steve
Absolutely!
Regards,
Edward
Dear Edward, may we completely ignore pivot points if for example valid long entry point is say within 5 pips of a resistance point that has held all day? THank you!

For a valid entry, 5 and 15 Moving Averages do not have to be both above or below 100 or 200 MAs.
100 and 200 MAs are used for:
a) identifying times when we will not open trades - this is when price is less than 25 pips away from either one of the MAs.
b) initiating a trade, when price has recently crossed 100 or 200 MA.

Edward
Hello Edward:
Should a buy order be made only when the EMA 5 has crossed the SMA 15 and both are above the 100 and 200 SMAs and the MACD lines have also crossed?
On a lot of charts, the buy signal is shown when the MACD lines have crossed and the the EMA 5 has crossed the SMA 15, but the 100 and 200 SMA are above these other two moving averages, EMA 5 and SMA 15.
Hi Manus168,
If you have an option to choose between 3 hour and 4 hour charts, I'd switch in favor of 4 hour.
4 hour time frame is the one that is commonly used among traders. It is somewhat a standard - a time frame which is present on majority of trading platforms; whereas 3 hour time frame is more of an "invention/option" offered by Oanda, it is rarely used in Forex.
Regards,
Edward
