You can now download the MACD Bars Forex Trading Strategy for free on AtoZ Markets indicators gallery.
This trading strategy is based on Rads MACD and AMA_optimized indicators. The Rads MACD on its own has the potential to be a good indicator to base a profitable trading strategy on. However, for this strategy, we will be pairing it with AMA_optimized custom indicator.
The AMA_optimized indicator will serve as a filter and an early indication of a possible reversal and potential start of a trend. The AMA_optimized indicator is basically a moving average based indicator that plots blue dots whenever it detects a bullish trend and red dots if it detects a bearish trend. As such, we will be looking for possible buy setups if the AMA_optimized indicator starts printing blue dots, and sell setups if it starts printing red dots.
Indicators:
- Rads_MACD
- AMA_optimized: 14-period
Currency Pair: any
Timeframe: 5-minute, 15-minute, 30-minute, 1-hour, 4-hour and daily charts
Trading Session: any
