How to Use Exponential Moving Average (EMA) Crossover Signal to Enter Trades (7291)

EMA Crossover Signal Forex Trading Strategy – If the moving averages cross over one another, it could signal that the trend is about to change soon, thereby giving you the chance to get a better entry. By having a better entry, you have the chance to bag more pips!

If you had shorted at the crossover of the moving averages you would have made yourself almost a thousand pips!

Of course, not every trade will be a thousand-pip winner, a hundred-pip winner, or even a 10-pip winner.

It could be a loser, which means you have to consider things like where to place your stop loss or when to take profits.

You just can’t jump in without a plan!

One thing to take note of with a crossover system is that while they work beautifully in a volatile and/or trending environment, they don’t work so well when the price is ranging.

You will get hit with tons of crossover signals and you could find yourself getting stopped out multiple times before you catch a trend again.

You must keep in mind that the lagging nature of moving averages, even EMA’s, will not enable picking tops and bottoms.

That is not a bad thing as times when the trend is changing can make for some sloppy trading conditions.
