In order to determine trends in the Forex market and obtain profits from them, we must apply some strategies that, although the conditions do not align in all cases, identifying the exact entry point can give us many pips of advantage.

These strategies combine indicators with price levels (supports and resistances) when confirming a market entry, so it is necessary to modify the chart to determine good opportunities.

Impulse Pullback

  • This strategy can be operated in a 15-minute timeframe, meaning that each candle takes 15 minutes to form.
  • We should be able to see a swing high at the EMAs crossing, thus determining a change in trend.
  • Place Stop Loss at the lowest level of the lowest pullback.

To position a long order, we must ensure that the EMA 6 intersects the EMA 18 and both must be positioned above the 50 EMA, while the 200 EMA remains below all. It is recommended to review the chart in H1 timing to see the price levels from a macro point of view.

The same procedure is used to determine a short chance using this strategy but in the opposite direction. The EMA 200 must be above all, thus determining the start of a new downtrend.

Surfing the bull flag

Surfing the bull Flag is a strategy that can be applied to any forex pair, including USDCAD.

Look for the flag pattern that surges 6EMA or 18EMA, in a strong trend, bullish or bearish respectively.

  • Time Frame: M15
  • It can be applied in any pair, with spreads not greater than 2 pips.
  • SL path not less than 8 pips.

In this strategy we can identify:

  • Impulse candles – in trend direction and form higher highs
  • Corrective candles must not break the support of 6EMA – 18EMA
  • Correction candles in opposite direction to the trend
  • Series of candles forming minor maximums.
  • ADX indicator over 25.
  • 6EMA over 18EMA and both over 50EMA and 200EMA.

For placing short orders:

  • The pair should be in a downtrend at M15 (6EMA <8EMA <50EMA <200SMA).
  • The pair should be in a downtrend on H1 (6EMA <8EMA <50EMA <200SMA).
  • Strong trend (ADX over 25).
  • 4-Strong resistance without breaking 6EMA or 18EMA in M15 candles.
  • Candles forming lower minimums.
  • Candles forming higher minimums. (below EMA).

Wyckoff Strategy

The Wyckoff strategy is designed to reap benefits from the accumulation and distribution ranges. In other words, take advantage of price drops when it fails to break resistance and rises when it fails to break supports. This technique can be used for USDCAD and other currencies as long as there is a good level of volume on the market.

Speaking of the four phases of the market: accumulation, bullish phase, distribution and bearish phase. Professionals operate in the accumulation and distribution phases, and the benefits are generated in trend stages. Consider these points to use the Wyckoff strategy:

  • Never place long orders at resistance levels
  • Find PIN BAR at points of support and resistance
  • We can use RSI to confirm entries (below 50 is fine, although if it is below 30 it is almost certain).
  • Disregarding EMAs to develop Wyckoff.

The so-called accumulation range is the path that the price makes from a resistance to a support when it fails to break these levels, while the distribution range is the path between a support / resistance that breaks towards other price ranges. Logically, if the price enters the distribution phase, we can take this signal as an indicator to place an order: If it breaks the support, a short order is issued and if it breaks a resistance, a long order is issued.
