VR Moving Average Forex Trading Strategy is a day trading strategy that is traded on the 5-minute chart. While some would consider the 5-minute chart as a scalping timeframe, this strategy allows for trades which could be held for quite some time but seldom goes beyond a day.
One is a variation of the stochastic oscillator, the Stochastic Wallabys. This will be used by looking at the position of the indicator line relative to its midline. Above 50 means the market is bullish. Below 50 means the market is bearish.
A couple of indicators to be used are based on moving averages, the i-AMA-Optimum, and the vr_moving_average. These indicators will be used as a trigger. Crossovers going up should generate a buy while crossovers going down should generate a sell signal.
Lastly, a standard MACD indicator will be used as a filter. Positive histograms mean the market is bullish while negative histograms mean the market is bearish.

- vr_moving_average
- i-AMA-Optimum
- Wallaby
