This trading strategy leverages Moving Averages configured with periods of 5, 20, 40, and 60.

Here's how the strategy works:

  • Set up four Simple Moving Averages (SMAs) with periods of 5, 20, 40, and 60;
  • Focus on the M30 timeframe for the EUR/USD pair, using a lot size of 0.1;
  • Set your STOP LOSS at 60 pips (for EUR/USD).

For Buying:

  • Enter a buy trade when SMA40 crosses SMA60 from below;
  • Close the position when a reverse crossing occurs.

For Selling:

  • Enter a sell trade when SMA40 crosses SMA60 from above;
  • Close the position upon a reverse crossing.

Here’s a glimpse of the results with this strategy on EUR/USD using M30:
