EMA and Woodies CCI MT4 Forex Trading Strategy is based on a few rules which could also be traded on an if-then basis. To implement this strategy, we will be using three indicators.
First, we will be using MACD. The MACD will be used using the crossing of the histogram bars over the zero lines. This means that if the MACD histogram is positive or is crossing over zero, we are qualified to take a buy trade. If the MACD histogram bars are negative or are crossing below zero, then we are looking to take a sell trade.
Next, we will be using WoodiesCCI. It is a custom indicator which is a modified version of the regular CCI. This particular indicator correlates well with the MACD crosses. We will be using the WoodiesCCI the same way we are to use the MACD. We will be buying when the histogram is above zero and sell when the histogram is below zero.
Lastly, we will be using ExponentialMovingAveragesSignal. This is a custom indicator that plots arrows as signals based on the crossing over of certain moving averages. If set on the right parameters, this custom indicator also correlates well with the above-mentioned indicators.
