This setup will help you gain a daily bias and forecast the market’s direction. Additionally, make sure to sync the symbol, crosshair, and time across different layouts for better visibility.

Step 3: Identify the Trading Range with Kill Zones

Label the London Killzone (2am to 5am New York time) and the New York Killzone (7am to 10am New York time) on your chart using vertical lines.

These zones experience high trading volume and volatility, presenting excellent opportunities for quick profits. While the strategy works in other time periods, you may have to wait longer for price movements.

Step 4: Add Indicators — Moving Average Ribbon and TradeDots

Add the Moving Average Ribbon and TradeDots indicators to your chart.

The Moving Average Ribbon provides insight into market trends, while the TradeDots indicator acts as a confirmation signal.

Configure the Moving Average Ribbon to display the 20 EMA, 50 EMA, and 200 EMA. Adjust the color and line thickness for better visibility. They are used to quickly identify where the market is heading to, confirming our daily bias.

Step 5: Label Critical Price Levels

Identify critical price levels, including support, resistance, and pivots, by using horizontal lines.

These levels indicate where traders place their stop loss and take profit orders. When the price approaches these levels, it may experience a rebound or breakout. By observing price action and market bias, you can confirm the validity of your trade.

Label critical price levels on your chart

TradeDots is an incredibly useful tool for identifying important price levels. By connecting these dots, it can help you pinpoint areas where price reversals are likely to occur.

Once you’ve identified these areas, you can draw a rectangle box or a horizontal line to highlight the significance of these price levels.

Notes: prices in the Forex market tend to fluctuate more frequently. As a result, you may encounter false breakouts that can stop you out of a trade. To mitigate this risk, it is advisable to always enter a trade at a favorable position and set a stop loss slightly below the critical price level. Never rush into trades and always exercise patience and caution.

Step 6: Confirm Daily Bias and Market Trends

Before entering a trade, confirm your daily bias and market trends by analyzing the three EMA lines.

In a clear downtrend, the 200 EMA, 50 EMA, and 20 EMA will align from top to bottom. The width between these lines provides insights into the market’s acceleration and potential reversal.

Ensure that the EMA pattern appears in the 1-minute timeframe for scalping in the short term. However, avoid trading against the trend in higher timeframes.

Combined with the critical price levels labeled in the last step, we can determine whether the price will break out from those levels or reverse. A breakout indicates that our trade is valid and the trend is still strong.

Use TradeDots as the final confirmation signal. If TradeDots shows an opposite market signal, which goes against your trading direction, then do not enter the trade. This means that you would be entering at a disadvantageous position.

You need to assess whether you are willing to take the risk of entering early to avoid missing out on the momentum, or if you prefer to minimize your risk by being patient and waiting for a more favorable buying position.

Step 7: Stop loss and take profits

After entering a trade, set a take profit point 10 pips from your entry point and a stop loss at the 200 EMA on the 1-minute or 5-minute chart. Adjust the stop loss strategy based on the behaviors on the asset pair you are trading.

Consider setting a time stop at around 45 minutes to avoid being stuck in a trade for too long. Be mindful of critical levels that may cause price fluctuations.

Step 8: Avoid Trading Against the Trend after Closing your position

Once you close your position, refrain from trading against the trend immediately. Take time to analyze the market, gather information, and plan your next trade. Overtrading can lead to missed opportunities and losses
