I am not going to bore you by telling you things that are not important. Like my sister always say and I quote “Keeping it simple is the best rule for any game”. I have been trading for quite sometime now and I must tell you, the journey has been so interesting.

Although when I started, it wasn’t easy but due to the passion, I found my way in. Along the line, I became a fund manager for some private investors which I decided to call it quit few months ago because I was relocating. It wasn’t easy because I was always looking for trades. The experience has made me to decide that I would only manage funds for maybe a financial institution if given the opportunity.

Very Simple Strategy

Timeframe: Any (but I recommend from 15 minutes chart and above) Indicators: Moving averages (Exponential)
i. Period 5 (Yellow)
ii. Period 10 (Magenta)
iii. Period 15 (Red)
iv. Period 65 (White)

MACD (Default settings)

You can also change the colors to Red and Dark Turquoise as shown below.

Entry Signals
The signals are classified into 5 sentiments for the indicators i. Bullish
ii. Bearish
iii. Consolidation
iv. Bullish Consolidation v. Bearish Consolidation
Which means that the moving averages and the MACD can give signals based on any of the 5 sentiments. Although, we have four Exponential moving average indicators but, I will classify them as two different
indicators i.e, 5, 10 and 15 as one and then 65 as another indicator for our signals.

We now we have:

Indicator 1 – EMA (5, 10, 15) Indicator 2 – EMA (65)
Indicator 3 – MACD with Red and Dark Turquoise colors.

SIGNALS FOR EACH INDICATOR

Indicator 1: Whenever  there  is  a  crossover  of  the  three  EMA  (5,  10,  15),  then  wait  until  they  split distinctively according to the periods or colors as shown on the chart, then a BUY or SELL is confirmed depending on the direction at that point in time (Bullish or Bearish).

If they are all together, that means consolidation.
Indicator 2: Check the angle of the 65 EMA Upward angle: Bullish (BUY)
Downward angle: Bearish (SELL) Flat: Consolidation (NO TRADE)

Indicator 3: MACD

Red line is the MACD signal line
Dark Turquoise bars are the MACD cloud
Zero level (0.00) separates BUY/SELL regions

If the Red line is above the zero level (0.00), that means BUY (Bullish) but if it is below the zero line it means SELL (Bearish).

If the Dark Turquoise bars are above/below the zero line, that means BUY (Bullish)/SELL (Bearish).

If the MACD signal line (Red line) is inside the MACD cloud (Dark Turquoise), above/below the zero (0.00)
line, that means BUY(Bullish)/SELL(Bearish).

If the MACD signal line (Red line) comes out from the MACD cloud (Dark Turquoise) above/below the zero
(0.00) line, that means Bullish consolidation/Bearish consolidation.

Now, let me bring everything together. You must make sure that you consider these five sentiments before taking a trade:

i. Check the three EMA (5, 10, 15).
ii. Is the market trading above or below the white line (65 EMA)?
iii. Check the angle of the white line (65 EMA).
iv. Check if the MACD signal line (Red line) is above/below the zero(0) level v. Check if the MACD signal line (Red line) inside the MACD cloud.

Let’s apply all the rules on the market and see:

As you can see on the chart above, the 3 EMA (5, 10, 15) separated (SELL) and the candles are below the white line (SELL). The white line (65 EMA) was angling down (SELL) and at the same time the MACD signal line (Red line) was below the zero level (0.00) (SELL) and entering the MACD cloud (Dark Turquoise) (SELL).

For every signal, make sure the five sentiments shows BUY/SELL before you take a trade.

Exit Signals

You can pullout from a trade when the MACD signal line (Red line) comes out of the MACD cloud for short time traders or when the signal line crosses above/below the zero level (0.00) in an opposite direction of our trade for position traders. Look at the chart below:

For the first time since its discovery in the 1930’s, The Elliott Wave Principle has been statistically analyzed, verified, refined and improved. The strengths of Elliott have been verified, the weaknesses identified and corrected. The result is a more powerful and accurate market-forecasting tool than ever before available.

If you are serious about taking money out of the markets, you need this critical information.
