Fast Crossover Forex Trading Strategy


You can now get the Crossover Forex Trading Strategy free of charge on AtoZ Markets indicator gallery.

Retail traders are very familiar with crossover strategies. It is easy to implement and understand, and does not require much analysis. Crossover strategies can be created using different combinations of parameters and times of moving averages. Some combinations work better than others.

The Fast Crossover Forex trading strategy consists of three moving Averages namely 10, 25, and 50-period Exponential Movement Averages (EMA). These EMAs can be used by traders to get a sense of the trend's short-term direction. The majority of trend-following and continuation strategies employ a moving average in the range of 10-25. However, the 50-period EMA is more of a midterm moving average.

This strategy is a basic, moving average strategy that is geared towards achieving the faster side. This strategy would generate more signals, which should make the law of large number work for us.

We should focus on the 10 and 50 EMA as moving averages. We are looking for the short-term trend (represented by the 10 EMA) to cut through mid-term trends represented by 50 EMA. Once the crossover occurs, we can prepare for our setup.

Equally important is the 25 EMA. It is located in the middle of both EMA, but it plays a significant role in our exit strategy. Often, when a trend loses steam, the price will cross the 25 EMA and close above it. We should exit trades when price crosses the 25 EMA and closes beyond it.
