MA System Explained
Stock Indices 20 Pips Moving Average Strategies
The 20 pips stock price range moving average strategy is used with the 1 Hour stock chart and 15 minute stock chart. On this chart time frames we use the 100 and 200 simple moving average technical indicator.
Both the 1 Hour and 15 minute chart time frames will use the 100 and 200 SMA (SMA Indicator) to determine the direction of the trend.
The 1 Hour chart time frame checks the long-term direction of the market trend, upward or downwards trend, based on the direction of the moving averages. All stock trades taken should be in this trend direction.
We then use the 15 min chart to find the optimal point to enter stock trades. Trades are opened only when the stock price is within 20 pips range of the 200 simple MA, if stock price is not within this pip range stock trades are not opened.
Uptrend/Bullish Market
To generate buy (bullish signals) using the 20 pips moving average strategy, we shall use the 1hour & 15 minutes trading time=frame.
On the H1 chart time frame the stock price of the stock chart should be above both the 100 and 200 simple moving average. We then move to a lower chart time frame, the 15 minutes timeframe to generate a trade signal.
On 15 min time frame, when the price reaches and gets to the 20 pips range above the 200 SMA, we open a buy trade & place a stoploss order 30 pips below the 200 SMA. Stop loss can be adjusted to the amount of Pips that are suitable for your risk but to avoid being stopped out by normal Indices volatility its best to use 30 pips stop loss.
A buy trade can also be opened when the stock price tests/touches the 100 Simple MA, provided it’s not very far from the 200 SMA. Normally the 100 SMA will be within the 20 pips range of the 200 SMA.
