I have not used any specific indicator for trading entry but I use a mix of few one with different settings, which are RSI, MA, Volum and etc.

Hi all. Personally I don't use any indicators. I don't know how to do programming in MT4/5 and I kind of wish I did. Here's what I do.

I have 3 moving averages for trading trends.

20 - general direction (up or down curve)
100 & 200 - for entry (not exit)

The curve of the 20 MA will show if the general trend is up or down. You could also use BB with 20 periods as well. Aside from being above the middle line on BB (which is the same as a 20 MA) you will be able to see if the price is going along the upper or lower bands.

The 100/200 MA will cross over each other at certain points. When the 200 MA is above the 100 MA (and the prices are below the lines) then the trend is going down. When the 100 MA is above the 200 MA (and the prices are above the lines) then the trend is going up.

Exit rules for me are based on various things. If the price crosses over to the other bands. If the price gets close to the 100/200 MA lines. If I think that news may affect the direction.

I've uploaded screenshots to demonstrate a BUY and SELL entry/exit that I would take. Problem is that hindsight is 20/20 and many times emotions override the trading system. If I followed it instead of my emotions at times then things would be better. Still catch pips but not as much....

TF: H4 and H1

Indicator: 5 period SMA


Locate a signal on H1 and confirm short term trend direction on H4 like this:

BUY-signal on H1: If price closes above the MA, switch to H4. If price is above MA on H4, enter.

SELL-signal on H1: If price closes below the MA, switch to H4. If price is below MA on H4, enter.

what best indicator to entry signal and looking TRENd ? with TF 30m or 1H please help me
Every successful has his own customize strategies. In most of the cases it doesn't work for others. Because in forex trading psychology plays a big role and every person is different mentally from other. If you want to be successful you have to find yourself what works for you.

Agreed wholeheartedly - but getting the views from various persons may help an individual come up with their own strategy, or blend things to make their own, or just confuse them............

But I guess we want to learn from persons that are successful and try to replicate their strategies. Just ensure that once you have your own rules (or rules you've copied) test them first and then stick to them.

If I can change one trader's mind then I will consider this a success.

"Price" is one and only indicator you need. As someone who wasted 5 years testing indicators and losing money I can tell you without equivocation you're wasting your time with indicators. If you spend 12 months learning price action you won't need another indicator ever again.

Start testing price runs into big figures at the London Close Timeframe. See for yourself.

@Jacobokey12 There are a number of educators that can teach you Price Action. Plenty of stuff on Youtube to get you started. If you want my personal recommendation PM me.

Here's something that may work for that - the more experienced persons can correct me if I'm wrong.

 

  1. Assuming you use candlesticks.......
  2. Pick a pair.
  3. Pick a timeframe.
  4. If selected timeframe is lower than 30 minutes then move to a higher timeframe to set zones.
  5. Switch to line charts - line charts only show the CLOSING PRICE.
  6. Draw horizontal lines to show support/resistance zones on higher timeframs (if your selected one is below M30).
  7. Switch back to your timeframe.
  8. Draw additional zones.
  9. Switch back to candlesticks.
  10. Watch for price breaking the zones drawn.
  11. Remember that zones may have some flexibility to them - more than 150 points may suggest going to next zone.
  12. Trade along the trend - using trend lines or channels.

While doing so with technicals only can work - I would suggest also watching for news events that are upcoming. These may hold the price and cause it to either move slowly or only range until after the event passes.

I really liked your guideline! I see, many traders try to trade blindly only based on few specific candle patterns, and they lose their money! Know why? Because, PA strategy doesn’t mean only candle pattern.

Not saying this is not a good start. However, in a picture here is what knowledge of Price Action does for me.

Not to mention you guys looking for indicators to be make entries. You're literally trying to "outsource" the work which is lazy.

Here is an idea:

 

  1. Educate yourself on Interest Rate Deferential
  2. Watch Commitment of Traders Data
  3. Read some bank reports.

I promise you'll have a much better idea of what is driving a "trend" than anything a MT4 indicator will give you.
