At times, prices can be pretty wild. Sometimes we see large choppy Trading Ranges, abbreviated trends that fail to continue for more than a short duration. Lots of explosions and collapses make markets difficult to trade, even for the very best traders.
It seems that at times only the innovative and adaptive traders can consistently take money out of their trading. Sometimes all that is needed is a simple set of tools. Let’s look at just such a set of tools, that from a technical point of view are proving themselves successful in trading the kinds of charts we encounter from time to time. In the illustrations that follow, we will be using a fifteen bar exponential moving average of the close, along with a simple forty bar moving average of the highs and lows. With the forty bar simple moving average of the highs and lows we will attempt to create a channel.
When prices move beyond the bounds of the channel, we will attempt to trade pointy places. We will never attempt a trade when prices are within the channel. The exponential moving average will be a filter used to keep us from trading when the moving average is flat. So, even though prices are out of the channel, as long as the fifteen bar moving average is flat or relatively flat, we will not attempt to trade.

When the first time i trade online Forex i found this great e book from ForexFactory.com maybe you will find the thread at the first page at ForexFactory.com. Phillip Nel really tech me how to use MACD at 4 hour time frame, but not just like that i try making the 89 Simple Moving Average at the 30mnt and 1 hour time frame it give me some pips to hehehhe, btw this really great e book Two Thumbs UP for Phillip Nel if i can i wanna give three or five Thumbs UP ….
View cut from the e book;
I stopped counting the pips for the April 2006 testing as it completely
convinced me of the success of this method. I randomly tested it using previous years
and the results were amazing. Average of 300+ pips per month and then I only trade
the trades that gives signals at these times 17:00, 21:00 and 01:00 (GMT +2). It gives
between 8-10 deals per month using the mentioned timeframes.. (I use Metatrader and
data supply by MIG.)
If you use patterns in the MACD that occur regular that gives results and use
them every time they occur you will most definitely make money.
I haven’t discuss nor used trendlines so far in this document and when you add
them it will most definitely helps you in defining your exit levels. The entry level are
determine by the MACD but the exit or profit levels is determine by support and
resistance levels. I use the moving averages as described earlier as well as Fibonacci
levels and then most definitely trendlines and price levels. I normally take the daily
graph and draw the trendlines according to it and then go to the 4 hour graph. I make
them nice and thick so that I can see them. Then I draw the different price levels such
as 1.2900, 1.3000, 1.3100 etc. It is amazing to see how the price find support and or
resistance at these levels.
