Trade On Forex

A challenge facing many new traders when developing their forex strategy is the potential to recognize the allinclusive trend for intra-day trading.

The 200 Ema (Exponential entertaining Average) can solve the problem.

The 200 Ema is one of the most beloved indicators of all time with Forex traders the world over, and for that reckon alone is worth noting due to the psychological result on the shop place price can have when hovering nearby the 200 Ema.

Using The 200Ema Strategy

To use this very excellent Forex strategy, generate charts on 3 time frames:

• 4 hour
• 1 hour
• 15 minute

Now plot a 200 Ema indicator on each chart and, as a suggestion, color it red, for easy optical impact.

Preferably tile the 3 windows containing your 3 charts into a vertical fashion so you can see the 3 time frames next to each other. It will squeeze up the data on the charts somewhat but for the purpose of this strategy that doesn't matter.

Now scroll through the assorted currency pairs you like to trade.

If you prefer to trade only pairs with a smaller pip spread, they amount to about 9.

They are:

• Eur/Usd
• Gbp/Usd
• Usd/Chf
• Usd/Jpy
• Eur/Jpy
• Usd/Cad
• Aud/Usd
• Nzd/Usd
• Eur/Chf

What you are seeing for is any currency pair that bucks the 200 Ema on the 15 miniature chart.

So for example, look at the Eur/Usd pair and note the position of price relative to the 200 Ema on the 3 time frames.

If price is well above the 200 Ema on the 4 hour chart, well above the 200 Ema on the 1 hour chart, but Below the 200 Ema on the 15 miniature chart, price is bucking the trend.

The allinclusive trend is up, price has temporarily gone against the trend and is currently in a retracement.

Using the basic trading principle of "buy the dips in an uptrend", "sell the rallies in a downtrend", look for a suitable entry point.

In the example given above you would look for an chance to buy the Eur/Usd, maybe watching for a candle signal that price has exhausted it's downward momentum, bucking the 15 miniature chart 200 Ema and will soon resume it's upward momentum.

This is an easy rehearsal and it can be done once or twice a day, taking just a few minutes.

Watch For Price Bucking The Trend

Once you see price bucking the 200 Ema on the 15 miniature chart, whereas it is on the opposite side on the 4 hour and 1 hour charts, sit up and take note. Watch carefully and grab the chance to get in and make some pips.

After a miniature convention you will see how very excellent this simple Forex strategy is - in effect deserving a place in your trading tool kit.
