220# Trend Miner Trading Strategy MT5

Janus Trader 2025

The Trend Miner Trading Strategy for MetaTrader 5 (MT5) is a dynamic trend-following system designed to identify high-probability entries during strong directional movements. By combining the JMA (Jurik Moving Average), Ribbon, and Trend Miner indicators — all with their default settings — this strategy delivers clear visual cues for both bullish and bearish market conditions.

Indicators Used (Default Settings)

JMA (Jurik Moving Average)
- Smooth and responsive moving average that filters out noise while maintaining minimal lag.
  
  Used to detect short-term momentum and confirm the start of new trends.
Ribbon
- A band of multiple moving averages that dynamically changes color.
  
  Green shades indicate bullish strength, while red shades confirm bearish momentum.
  
  The Ribbon also helps identify potential consolidation zones when it flattens and narrows.
Trend Miner
- Provides precise buy (green arrows) and sell (red arrows) signals.
  
  Helps traders identify the beginning of major impulsive waves in the direction of the trend.

Trading Rules

BUY Setup (Long Trade)

A green arrow from Trend Miner appears below the candle.
The Ribbon turns green and begins to expand upward.
The JMA line crosses above the Ribbon and stays above it.
Entry: Open a buy position at the close of the signal candle.
Stop Loss: Place below the recent swing low or the lower edge of the Ribbon.
Take Profit: Target 1:2 or 1:3 risk/reward ratio, or exit when the Ribbon turns red or a red arrow appears.

Example (from the chart):
On the H1 timeframe, a clear buy signal appeared when the Ribbon turned green and the Trend Miner arrow pointed upward. Price continued to rise strongly, confirming the uptrend.

SELL Setup (Short Trade)

A red arrow from Trend Miner appears above the candle.
The Ribbon turns red and starts expanding downward.
The JMA line crosses below the Ribbon and remains below it.
Entry: Open a sell position at the close of the signal candle.
Stop Loss: Place above the recent swing high or the upper edge of the Ribbon.
Take Profit: Target 1:2 or 1:3 risk/reward ratio, or exit when the Ribbon turns green or a green arrow appears.

Example (from the chart):
On the M15 timeframe, a red arrow signaled a strong bearish move. As the Ribbon turned red and widened, price accelerated downward — confirming a profitable short opportunity.

Additional Tips

For higher accuracy, align signals across multiple timeframes (e.g., M15 and H1).

Avoid trading when the Ribbon is flat or changing colors frequently — this indicates low volatility or consolidation.

The Trend Miner Strategy works best during London and New York sessions when volatility is high.

Conclusion

The Trend Miner Trading Strategy for MT5 offers a clean, visual approach to trend trading. Using the JMA, Ribbon, and Trend Miner indicators together allows traders to spot trend reversals early and stay in trades during strong momentum phases.

Whether you’re trading indices like US100, forex pairs, or commodities, this setup can help you follow the trend confidently and avoid false signals.
