I had (at time of writing) been using this system for 6 months. The system started with just the Moving Average (MA) indicators and following price action. I added other indicators to help hedge my trading by showing me when a possible trend reversal or a breakout was going to occur. After much testing, I found success by keeping it simple. I paired up an EMA with DMI.
The system uses EMA with a period of 13 (Green up/Red down). I wanted an EMA that would be more responsive to recent price action. The two directional indicators (DI+ (Green/green) & DI-(Red/red)) of DMI are used in conjunction with EMA to establish your Entry and Exit points.
