Like many other systems out there I will also use the MA crossover method, but not the normal EMA or SMA. Because I have found the Ichimoku Kinko Hyo to be very useful in many ways, I will use a few components from it and add a few of my own. So I guess it’s safe to say that Ichimoku was part of the inspiration of this system.
The indicators used in this system are as follows:
-Tenkan-sen (9)…also use Daily & Weekly levels as S/R on 1 Hr chart
-Kijun-sen (26)…also use Daily & Weekly levels as S/R on 1 Hr chart
-QQE (1) (This is equal to RSI (14)
The pairs that I use are the Majors and Yen crosses.
Primary Trend Detection (Daily):
-When Tenkan-sen is above Kijun-sen then look for long entries.
-When Tenkan-sen is below Kijun-sen then look for short entries.
Entry Setup (1 Hour):
-Enter LONG when Tenkan-sen crosses above Kijun-sen, QQE is above 50 AND price is above Tenkan-sen and Kijun-sen.
-Enter SHORT when Tenkan-sen crosses below Kijun-sen, QQE is below 50 AND price is below Tenkan-sen and Kijun-sen.
Exit/Profit Target Rules:(You decide)
-When Tenkan-sen crosses Kijun-sen in the opposite direction
-Next Daily/Weekly Tenkan-sen or Kijun-sen S/R level
-Next round number ex. 1.05000
Risk and Trade Management:
-Place SL 40 pips on Yen crosses.
-Place SL 50 pips on Major pairs.
-Move all stops to breakeven when trade reaches 1:1 reward to risk and trail stops to lock in profit (manual or automatic).
Questions or comments are welcome. Let me know what you think. Peace
@lichetsh Yes you should be able to use this with all pairs. I usually use it with majors, yen crosses, gold and silver. I have also found that it works best on the 1hr.
@littlemay Im sorry for not clarifying earlier…S/R means support/resistance.
I started with the first version of the system about a month ago and have been tweeking it ever since. I am now trading it live and have been for about a week and a half with pretty good results. About 1 trade a day and I am monitoring 6 pairs.
Yes thats correct. One trade a day only because I have other things I have to do during the day. It obviously generates more signals throughout the day…especially trading more than 1 pair. But 60-100 pips a day is sufficient for now.
The QQE indicator is already attached. You can find the link to it just under the example chart. The moving averages are part of the Ichimoku Kinko Hyo. This indicator should be available in your trading platform. In the “properties” you can choose to show ONLY the Tenkan-sen and Kijun-sen lines.
