Good for swing trading on Daily charts of SPY, Nasdaq, China's FXI, Brazil's EWZ and the majority of the equity ETFs and World Indices.
How does it work?
The indicator activates the buy signal when we close at a 7-day low above the 200-period moving average.
The exit signal is when we close at a 7-day high.
There is no entry signal for selling, just buying.
How to use it?
Enter the trade with a market order as soon as the candle closes with the buy signal.
There is no stop loss order neither take profit order.
Exit the trade with a market order as soon as the candle closes with the exit signal.
Tip:
- Despite the author not recommending the use of a stop loss order, you can place one at the 200-period moving average just to be safe against unexpected sudden crashes and protect your capital.
