Step 1 – Setting Up the Indicators

RSI Setup

  • Add the RSI indicator.
  • Change the RSI line color to match your chart background so it becomes invisible.
  • Set levels to 90 and 10 (instead of the default 70/30).
  • Save the settings.

This hides the RSI line and leaves only two extreme levels (90 for overbought and 10 for oversold), which the MACD histogram will visually interact with.

MACD Setup

  • Add the MACD in Indicator Window 1 (below the main chart).
  • Keep the default parameters (12, 26, 9).
  • Make the lines thicker if you want better visibility on screen.

The MACD will be used for spotting momentum extremes when its histogram bars reach the RSI 90 or 10 levels.

Moving Average Setup

  • Add a Moving Average on Indicator Window 1.
  • Set:
    • Period: 3
    • Color: Red (or any visible color)
    • Apply To: Previous Indicator’s Data

This overlays the MA directly on top of the MACD lines, which is crucial for the crossover signals.

Step 2 – Entry Rules

Sell Trade Setup

  1. Wait for the MACD histogram bars to rise up to or above the 90 level.
  2. Wait for the 3-period Moving Average to cross below the MACD line.
  3. Enter a Sell position at the crossover.
  4. Place your stop-loss just above the highest price reached before the crossover.
  5. Set your take-profit at 3× your stop-loss distance (a 1:3 risk-to-reward ratio).

Buy Trade Setup

  1. Wait for the MACD histogram bars to drop down to or below the 10 level.
  2. Wait for the 3-period MA to cross above the MACD line.
  3. Enter a Buy position at the crossover.
  4. Place your stop-loss just below the lowest price reached before the crossover.
  5. Set your take-profit at 3× your stop-loss distance.

Step 3 – Improving Accuracy

Trade With the Trend

Use higher timeframes (like the 1-hour chart) to confirm the overall trend. Only take:

  • Buy setups during an uptrend
  • Sell setups during a downtrend

This filters out low-probability trades.

Avoid Bad Entries

Skip signals where the price has already moved back near the stop-loss level at the moment of entry. These usually fail quickly.

Step 4 – Preventing False Signals

The strategy can show different signals depending on your zoom level.

  • Keep the same zoom level while trading or backtesting.
  • Don’t scroll your chart back and forth during setup formation. Changing zoom can make some histogram bars appear or disappear, which creates false signals.

Losing streaks were rare, with a maximum of five consecutive losses, which helps reduce the risk of blowing an account even with slightly higher risk per trade.
