newRSIMACD4eurusd1 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. Additionally I use 4H
period MACD(12 26 9) indicator. First of all the strategy evaluates
number of open positions. When open positions amount is zero the
strategy evaluates three momentum indicators, i. e. 1H RSI(14), 1H
MACD(12 26 9) and 4H MACD(12 26 9). 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 but remains above than 30, it means that
the losses are greater than the gains, and at the same time the MACD
line on both 1H and 4H MACD indicators 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 but
remains below 70, it means that the gains are greater than the losses
and the MACD line on both 1H and 4H MACD indicators 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. The Strategy is set to not open positions in overbought and
oversold areas. 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 6 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.
