340# Momentum Trend Scalping System

Submit by Marco 19/05/2013

This is our powerful method to be used by traders who like quick action or more

trading opportunities! This fast moving forex strategy works well in conjuction

with the economic news releases in the 1 minute chart. Otherwise, it's safer to

use Momentum Trend Scalping System in the slower time frames. The caution with this forex strategy is whipsaw, but if you learn to take smaller profits, you will find this technique a valuable tool.

** Trade the EUR/USD or the USD/JPY for the smaller 3 pip spread.

SET UP YOUR CHARTS for this forex strategy:

(NOTE: we're now using Simple Moving Average or SMA)

1. Open a EUR/USD or USD/JPY candlestick chart with a white background.

2. Add a moving average of 3, Simple, Close. Change the color of the 3 sma

line to black.

3. Add the Bollinger Band with the middle band set at 10 Simple, color red.

4. Add another moving average of 50 Simple, any color.

5. Add your bottom indicators in the following order: Chaos Awesome Indicator

(or Macd Histogram or Line), The Ultimate Oscillator (or Momentum), the MA

of RSI or plain RSI) and the StochasticRSI or Slow Stochastic set at 14,5,3,E.

Optional for the super advanced trader, the Directional Movement System and

Support and Resistance.

Special instructions on how to use the MA of RSI:

The MA of RSI stands for Moving Average of Relative Strength Index.

When the RSI moves above the 50 line, it's a buy signal. When it moves

below it's 50 line, it's a sell signal. This line is a leading indicator and is

leading towards the new trend.

The MA is the red and blue line. When the red line moves up through the blue

line, it's a buy signal. When the red line moves down through the blue line, it's

sell signal. The MA lines are slightly lagging but confirm the RSI.

Special instructions on how to use the Directional Movement System (DMS):

DMS lines should be used as filters to confirm the trend. This indicator is

good for use in any time frame.

A buy signal is generated when the +DMI (green line) crosses the -DMI

(red line) to the upside. A sell signal signal is generated when the -DMI

(red line) crosses the +DMI (green line) to the upside.

The black line is called the ADX. When the black line is under the green

and red line, this is a 'stay aside' signal and it is usually a time of

consolidation, a gathering of momentum for a breakout or breakdown.

If you stay out of a position when the black line is at the bottom under both

the green and red line, it will keep you out of a short term move which may

whipsaw you.

The black line confirms the trend by following whichever line (red or green)

that happens to be moving up. If it doesn't follow the red or green line up,

it is NOT confirming the trend. However, it's hard to tell sometimes because

the black line is a lagging indicator and gets a late start.

If the black line rises to 30 or 40 and turns down, the existing trend is

waning and it is time to take profits.

Here's the Forex strategy:

Going LONG:

Enter a long position when the fast black 3 sma has crossed up through the

middle Bollinger Band, 10 sma (red). At the same time, the Chaos and

Momentum should be crossing their zero lines, going up. The red line of the MA

of RSI should be crossing up through the blue line and the green +DMI line

should have crossed up through the red -DMI line.

Going SHORT:

Enter a short position when the fast black 3 EMA has crossed down through the

middle Bollinger Band, 10 EMA (red). At the same time, the Chaos and

Momentum should be crossing their zero lines, going down. The blue line of the

MA of RSI should be crossing down through the red line and the red -DMI line

should have crossed up through the green +DMI line.

When to take your profit:

The Chaos will turn color, the Momentum will turn towards it's zero line, the MA

of RSI lines will cross, and the black ADX line will turn down.

When the 3 SMA flattens out, be prepared to sell the position. When the 3 SMA

crosses thru the 10 SMA sell the position immediately.

Don't wait for all of these things to happen at the same time; if any one of these

things happens first, sell your position immediately.

NOTE: You may only be able to book 5 -20 pips, unless there's a breakout, so

use as much margin as your available margin will allow you to safely use, BUT

only after you have mastered this difficult technique. Review the Money

Management rules and # of (mini) lots to trade with for your account size.

** This is very fast action so practice this a lot in your demo account before

attempting to do this live. If you only have a few hours to trade, this will give you

more trading opportunities.

Playing the News Release in the 1 minute chart:

Note: if you can get very good at using Momentum Trend Scalping System technique to play the US news releases, you can make very good weekly money, without

trading more than a few times a week for only a short period of time.

1. The slower 10 SMA line is a really good trend line...if it's flat, the

trend is flat and you don't want to enter because you'll get whipsawed.

2. Especially watch the Momentumor Ultimate Oscillator, it MUST be above or

below 0 for a good strong push. Again, the biggest moves come when the

Chaos crosses it's zero line, accompanied by Momentum or Ultimate doing

the same thing.

3. Watch the flattening of the 3 line for your clue to get ready to sell. When the 3

sma flattens, get ready to sell when it crosses the 10 sma. Sometimes it just

kisses the10 sma and you won't sell. Watch your Chaos, Momentum and

Ultimate indicators for the clues to sell. Review the section entitled Finding

the Tops and Bottoms.

4. If the middle Bollinger Band (which is a 10 sma) crosses the 30 sma, this is a

strong continuation of the move. This is usually a breakout, and it's what we're

hoping for, waiting for. However, be careful around the 30 SMA, as it can act

as resistance.

5. The black line must not be under both the red and green DMI lines to enter

either a long or short position. This is a consolidation period with little

movement. Avoid whipsaws and 'stay aside'...wait for the bigger moves.

6. Remember to put in your stop immediately after you take your position, and

make it a 10 - 15 pip stop in the 1 min chart, a 15 - 20 pip stop in the 10 min,

and 20 -35 pip stop in the 15-30 min chart. However, don't let yourself get

stopped out at the beginning of a trade, close the position immediately when

you're sure it is not doing what you want.

b. Protecting Your Profits

When your position breaks even and goes into a 20 – 25 pip profit, move your

stop to breakeven. If the price moves into more profit, keep moving your stop

every 10-20 pips. Don't ever sell a position out of fear, rather let your stop sell

for you...except when you see it topping or bottoming and all your indicators say

it's time to sell, you've reached maximum profit, then sell when the 3 sma either

crosses through the 10 sma or the Chaos turns another color. Again, you should

review the section entitled Finding the Tops and Bottoms.

We take every perfect setup and lots of small profits in the hope that one of the

plays becomes a breakout, so we play them all, but only when all of our

indicators are in agreement. You only need one good breakout in a day for a

good daily profit. If you're playing during the busiest time of the day, you can

usually catch a breakout early and be done for the day.

There's no need to hold dangerous overnight positions and no need to hedge.

c. How to Use and Interpret SMA in the “Momentum Trend Scalping System:

The beauty of using SMA in a moving average crossover combo,

is that the faster more current SMA line FLATTENS as the price

movement slows down and starts to reverse (this is all behind

the scenes in the math algorithms) so it forewarns us when the

price is about to change trend dramatically.

We prepare to sell our position when the fast 3 SMA line FLATTENS.

We sell our position when the fast SMA crosses the slower 10 SMA.

And, the slower 10 SMA line, which is a little more lagging in reflecting the price,

also flattens when the trend is reversing. It's a good warning to NOT jump into a

trade no matter what the other indicators say, until this slower 10 SMA line

shows a clear trend, either up or down.

This keeps you from quick unexpected movements of the price, which is what we

call 'whipsawing'. It keeps you from jumping into a play too early and possibly

getting stopped out.

If you wait for the slow 10 SMA line to show a trend, then it's much safer

to jump in, with less possibility of 'whipsaw' or getting stopped out. Also,

remember that if the black DMI line is under both the red and green DMI lines,

this is a 'stay aside' time of consolidation
