Trading Strategy Concept
Trading Strategy Concept
-
Buy Signal: A lime green up-arrow appears. Consider a long (buy) position after the bar closes and the signal remains, preferably with other confirming factors (e.g., price is above a key moving average, a support level is holding, or an oscillator like RSI is rising from oversold territory). A stop loss can be placed below the recent swing low.
-
Sell Signal: A red down-arrow appears. Consider a short (sell) position after the bar closes, confirmed by other analysis (e.g., price is below a key moving average, a resistance level is rejecting price, or an oscillator is falling from overbought). A stop loss can be placed above the recent swing high.
Always confirm signals with additional analysis and practice strict risk management.
