newRSIMACD3 strategy is based on the opening trades at the particular
hours using RSI(14) and MACD(12 26 9) momentum indicators and the
Historical Candle. The strategy works for both side trades opening.
The strategy is adjusted to open orders one times per hour and twenty
four hours a day. Just one order could be opened simultaneously. I
use
1H period for both RSI(14) and MACD(12 26 9) indicators as well as
for
Historical Candle. First of all the strategy evaluates number of open
positions. When open positions amount is zero the strategy evaluates
two momentum indicators, i. e. 1H RSI(14) and 1H MACD(12 26 9) and at
the same time it waits for Historical Candle opening and closing.
Shift integer parameter of the Historical Candle is set to 1. The
indicators work as follows: if the RSI is turning down below 50, it
means that the losses are greater than the gains, and at the same
time
the MACD line is below the MACDSignal (MACD signal line) showing that
downside momentum is increasing, a sell position is being opened.
However, when the RSI is above 50, it means that the gains are
greater
than the losses and the MACD line is above the MACDSignal, which
signals upward momentum, a buy position is being opened. Signal line
crossovers provide evidence that the trend in the stock is about to
accelerate in the direction of the crossover but we need a
confirmation of the momentum as well. That’s why we are using the
RSI indicator. In this case, the centre line for the RSI is 50, which
is seen as both the support and resistance line for the indicator. I
use EUR/USD pair just because I am watching it for a quite long time,
so in comparison with other currency pairs the movement of EUR/USD is
better known for me. More over the EUR/USD volatility is not too high
and it significantly decreases the risk of big losses. The SL has
been set at 300 pips, in my opinion it’s the optimal figure taking
into account the recent volatile market. The low settings of SL in
such a
situation could lead to often and significant losses. The TP has been
set at 5 pips, it was configured by my personal experience I gained
working with EUR/USD. Trade volume has been set at 8 lots in case to
generate the significant profit at the end of the contest if the
strategy would succeed.
