4 Hour MACD Forex Strategy
Welcome to the 4 Hour MACD Forex Strategy. This strategy is aimed at simplicity as well as high probability trades. I have been in the equity market for almost ten years now and in the forex market for two years. I learned very early that forex trading is not for the shaky ones. One must have a tested and definite trading strategy as well as well organized disciplineto follow the strategy and execute the plan as to the letter. One must be exact and precise. Therefore I paper traded for almost two years and read everything I could lay my hands on. I bought books and courses. I attend a 5 day live web seminar. All this did not help me at all as it did not fit my style of personality and I just did not seem to connect with all this different strategies. Over twoyears of watching the graphs with different indicators, moving averages etc. I started to get a feeling for the movement and motion of the market especially the EurUsd around certain moving averages. It wasn’t till late last year that I discover a setting with the MACD that gives easy to read signals on a regular basis on a 4 hour timeframe. I like the 4 hour timeframe as one are not glued to thescreen full time. If you look at FIG 1 below you will see that there were 14 signals over a period of 5 weeks. Within that period of FIG 1 the signals given were pretty good. There are times when some signals does not produce positive results. I then had to work on a filter system to only let me take the best ones. I found that the MACD when moving in a certain way produces a 95% accuracy. I willshow you later how the high probability trades look like. In FIG 1 the signals are shown and FIG 2 shows that an entry is made after the 4 hour bar has closed and at the opening of the next bar. In FIG 3 another 19 deals were shown of which the last one was not finished yet so out of a total of 18 trades 5 were wrong and 13 were right. As it is a 4 hour strategy it means sometimes setting thealarm clock to catch an entry in the early morning hours. What makes it nice is that one will know after the close of a 4 hour bar whether the next 4 hour bar might close as a signal by just following the MACD. Therefore one can set an alarm at that time. Have a look at FIG 1 to 3.

This was just to see and get a feeling for the graphs. Let us start to set-up our charts. You will see later on when dealing with the different MACD signals that in the examples used I did not marked every signal. There are signals not marked and the reason being that the intention was to let you see the different type of signals and not to indicate everyone. THE MACD ON ITS OWNIS NOT ENOUGH OF A TRADING SYSTEM AND OR INDICATOR TO BE SUCCESSFUL USING IT ON ITS OWN. Therefore to understand the system as a whole you need to go to Page289 from Post 4335 and study the 13 Lessons given. Study the Lessons on Market Rhythm by heart as that is the heart of this system. It will let you filter the trades that can hurt you.

Moving Averages:

Fast EMA 5 2. Slow EMA 13 3. MACD EMA 1
