PARABOLIC SAR AND MACD FOREX TRADING STRATEGY RULES
- Wait for MACD line to cross-over. Once The MACD lines have crossed over then to to second step.
- Look To See If the Parabolic SAR has also switched position on the chart. If It does so then go to third step.
- Place A Buy stop/sell stop order above the high or low of the candlestick at the point where both the MACD & Parabolic SAR confirm trade entry signal.
- Place stop loss below the low or high of that candlestick-anywhere from 5-30 or so pips depending on what timeframe you are using as well-the larger timeframe you use, the stops may be a bit larger so you need to adjust your risk per trade accordingly.
- Exit The Trade when an opposite trade entry signal is given
DISADVANTAGES OF THE PARABOLIC SAR AND MACD FOREX TRADING STRATEGY
- in a ranging (sideways) market, you will get too many false signals which will cause you to get stopped out frequently.
- The MACD & Parabolic SAR are both lagging indicators so your trade entries are based on lagging information when price would have made a big move already and sometimes, at the spot and time where you enter, the price may be doing a temporary reversal.
- you stop loss may be quite large because if you place your stop losses quite close, you may get stopped out frequently.
