The following forex trading strategy is very simple and is based on a cross
between two exponential moving averages, a fast and a slow.
We must in advance to emphasize that such a forex trading strategy appears to have the most important disadvantage that is ineffective in sideways markets.
We can use this forex trading strategy in any forex pair and at any timeframe.
The indicators which we will use are the following:
We place a long position (buy forex signal) when the EMA (9) crosses the EMA
(14) from bottom to top.
The use of stop loss level is considered essential, and should be placed at
the low point of the last candle before happen the crossing of the two
exponential moving averages.
The determination of the level to which it may become profit taking is
directly related to the distance of stop loss level from entry point. The
proposed relationship is : Take Profit = 1.5 x Stop Loss or even better : Take
Profit = 2 x Stop Loss. It should be noted that if any other intersection happen
between the exponential moving averages without activating the level of stop
loss or take profit should be close our trading position and get out of the
market.
We place a short position (sell forex signal) when the EMA (9) crosses the
EMA (14) from top to bottom.
The use of stop loss level is considered essential, and should be placed at
the high point of the last candle before happen the crossing of the two
exponential moving averages.
The determination of the level to which it may become profit taking is
directly related to the distance of stop loss level from entry point. The

between the exponential moving averages without activating the level of stop
loss or take profit should be close our trading position and get out of the
market.
Once more it should be noted that the disadvantage of this forex trading strategy is the inefficiency in a market that moves sideways. Of course
we must note that the moving averages show significant delay in comparison with
the price action. In fact first moves the price and then will move the moving
averages with reasonable delay.
