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.
Let’s start with our simple 200 EMA Forex strategy. On your MT4 Platform, open the 4 hour, 1 hour and the 15 minutes chart and plot the 200 EMA with the red color.
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 price action is bucking the overall trend temporarily on the 15 minute chart.
On the 15 minutes chart search for a suitable entry point using candlestick patterns like the hammer or the hanging man.
With a little practice on your demo account, you will be able to master this very simple 200 EMA Forex Strategy and realize how powerful it is. You will be able to find the suitable currency pair that is bucking the trend on the 15 minutes chart within a few minutes after a little practice.
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!
