Forex Master Method trading strategy
Forex Master Method trading strategies - A very good system of work on the foreign exchange market. based on the concept of divergence. Its author is a trader with many years of experience in the Forex market - Russ Horn. As we said before, Forex Master Method trading strategy is based on divergence (divergence of the indicator chart with the price chart) and, by and large, it is not that difficult when studied attentively. But, at the same time, it requires a lot of attention and the necessary experience on the part of the trader when directly using the strategy in practice. Forex Master Method Strategy можно использовать на любых классических валютных парах и на любом таймфрейме, но все же предпочтение отдается более крупным таймфреймам — от Н1 и выше.
There are three kinds of divergence:
— Normal (or regular) divergence is a counter-trend signal, i.e., it signals a change in the trend (price reversal in the opposite direction).
— Hidden Divergence signals the continuation of the trend, its strengthening.
— Extended divergence — также сигнал к усилению тренда.
Divergence should also be separated by the direction of the signal it creates:
— Bullish divergence signals an upward price movement (a buy order should be opened).
— Bearish divergence indicates a downward price movement (open a sell order).
Now that we've got the concept of divergence figured out, let's move on to the rules of the trading strategy.
Forex Master Method Trading Strategy Indicators
We use two standard indicators that you can easily find in your terminal:
— MACD indicator with parameters: fast EMA (12), slow EMA (26), MACD SMA (9).
— Stochastic Oscillator indicator with the parameters: period %K (8), period %D (3), deceleration (5), prices (Low/High), MA method (Simple), minimum (0), maximum (100), levels (20 and 80).
So that traders do not waste time looking for different types of divergence on the chart, the strategy will use an Expert Advisor called TradLocator. All the variations he finds will be marked on the charts, and the indicators will be used as filters.
The TradeLocator Expert Advisor draws colored lines on the chart, which, depending on the color, mean one or another divergence. In the settings of the Expert Advisor you can see what color is meant by this or that formation, as well as adjust it for yourself.
