Trend line Strategy ~ forex trading disclaimer

This is a good simple strategy. I have traded it myself on a demo account with great success. It involved looking at the daily charts and drawing trend lines. A trend line must connect to at least two points. It is important that the trend line doesn’t have any breaks between the two points it connects to. Here is an example:

As trend lines are often used as support and resistance points, the market often bounces and sometimes even reverses at them. The way we can use this to our advantage is by placing buy or sell orders at the trend lines. We can place a stop just below the trend line, but ensure you leave enough room for volatility. If the trend line holds you can either set a TP at a support or resistance point or use a trailing stop. I like trailing stops personally. If the trend line breaks you take a small loss, but if it holds as they so often do you have a good chance of a winning trade that greatly exceeds the risk you took. You can see how this happened on the 3rd point of the trendline in the chart above. If you had placed a buy order at this point, it would have been a very nice, low risk trade.

Time Frame : 15mins and above

Indicators : Average Directional Movement Index - ADX (Settings : 14) and Fractals

Background on Fractals and ADX?

ADX Indicator or Average Directional Movement Index gives you a reading of how strong the market is trending. We will use this to our favor and combine it with Fractal Indicator to pick a high probability trade. can be found by default in your indicators list on your Metatrader 4 platform. Fractals show peaks and dips. To explain it easier, a Up Arrow Fractal forms when there is a lower high on both sides of a candle. A Down Arrow Fractal forms when there are higher lows on both sides of the candle. Please note that fractals will only form when the candle closes with the given criteria of high lows or lower highs on both sides.

Understanding The Fractal Guru Strategy

When the ADX is trending by seeing the blue line rising steadily, we look for Fractals to jump in the trend. We do not take all Fractals, only the ones with tails pointing to the Fractal. Let me explain this in a bit more detail and as simple as possible with some examples. (I will also be posting a video tutorial with this to help understand this method.)

Long (Buy) Positions Using The Fractal Guru Strategy

- On the ADX, the dotted green should be above dotted red and the solid blue line should be steadily rising

- Look for a Candlestick with a tail pointing to a Down Arrow Fractal

- When you see this Down Arrow Fractal, enter Long.

- Place stops 5 pips below the low of the Fractal Candle.

- Exit using proper money management or upon the cross of the dotted green and red lines in the ADX.
