Currency Trading Strategy

The challenge for many new forex traders is to identify the overall trend on the intraday charts. The 200 Exponential Moving Average (EMA) can solve the problem for them. 200 EMA is one of the most popular technical analysis indicators amongst forex traders.

In order to use the 200 EMA Forex Strategy open the 4 hour, 1 hour and the 15 minute charts on your MT4 Platform. Now plot the 200 EMA on these 3 charts and color it red.

Now, tile the three charts, the 4 hour, 1 hour and the 15 minute vertically. This will help you view all the three charts easily with one glance of your eye. Scroll through the different currency pairs like the USDCHF, GBPUSD, EURUSD, USDJPY or whatever you like to trade. Keep this in mind, choose that currency pair to trade that is liquid and has low spreads.

What you are looking for is a currency pair that bucks the trend on the 15 Minute Chart. Now, if the price is well above the 200 EMA on the 4 hour chart, it is well above the 200 EMA on the 1 hour chart but it is below the 200 EMA on the 15 minute chart, you have found the pair that is bucking the trend on the 15 minute chart. Suppose, this is the USD/JPY pair.

What this means is that the overall trend is up but the pair is temporarily going against the trend on the 15 minute chart and is currently in a retracement.

You are going to trade this retracement in the 200 EMA Forex Strategy by finding a suitable entry point with the help of candlestick patterns like the hammer or a hanging man or whatever other candlestick pattern you like that can identify the support and resistance.

Practice this simple forex strategy on your demo account. This is an easy exercise and can be done one or two times daily. It will not take more than a few minutes each time. After a little practice, you will see how powerful this simple forex strategy is.

So, what you will be doing is finding a currency pair that is bucking the trend on the 15 minutes chart and trade it with the help of candlesticks in this 200 EMA Forex Strategy!
