Multi-Indicator Trading Strategy Full Guide
Strategy Overview
-----------------
This strategy combines three powerful indicators to improve trade accuracy and reduce false
signals: Moving Averages for trend direction, RSI for momentum, and Volume to confirm strength
behind moves.
Indicators and Settings
------------------------
Indicator | Settings | Purpose
--------------|-----------------------------|------------------------------
Fast MA | 7 EMA (Close) | Quick reaction to price movement
Slow MA | 21 EMA (Close) | Confirms trend direction
RSI | Period: 14, Levels: 30 & 70 | Detects overbought and oversold
Volume Filter | Higher than average volume | Confirms strength of moves
Buy Signal Criteria
-------------------
- Price is above both the 7 EMA and 21 EMA
- 7 EMA crosses above 21 EMA
- RSI is above 30 and ideally rising (not oversold)
- Volume is higher than its recent average, confirming move strength

- Volume is higher than its recent average
How It Works
-------------
Moving Averages (Trend & Signal):
- Two EMAs (7 and 21 periods) are used.
- The 7 EMA reacts quickly to price changes, showing short-term momentum.
- The 21 EMA smooths price data to confirm the overall trend.
- A crossover of these MAs signals a potential trend change:
- When 7 EMA crosses above 21 EMA: potential buy signal
- When 7 EMA crosses below 21 EMA: potential sell signal
Relative Strength Index (Momentum Filter):
- RSI measures price momentum and helps avoid entering trades when the market is overbought or
oversold.
- Buy signals are considered only if RSI is above 30, ensuring the market is not oversold and
momentum is turning up.
- Sell signals are valid only if RSI is below 70, ensuring the market is not overbought and momentum
is turning down.

Volume (Strength Confirmation):
- Volume confirms the strength of price movements.
- Signals are trusted only when volume is above average, reducing the chance of fake breakouts
caused by low liquidity or market noise.
Additional Filters
------------------
- Confirm signals on 2 timeframes (for example, M15 and H1) to increase reliability.
- Use stop-losses and trailing stops to manage risk.
