5 minute intraday trading strategy

This strategy is originally created by Philip Nell a veteran stock trader with more then 10 years experience. This has been tested for trading EUR/USD and GBP/USD. I like the way it define market motion. Though this is a great trading system, I personally don’t use this since I don’t like trading in 5 minute time frame.

It’s quite simple, what you need is 50 SMA, 21 EMA and 10 EMA attached on your 5M Chart. Open position when the angle of the 50 Simple moving average are greater than 20 degrees and the price retrace back into the zone of the 21 Exponential moving average and the 10 Exponential moving average. Set stoploss at 6 pips plus spread and profit taking at 8-10 pips. Move stoploss to breakeven as soon as 6 pips gain is obtained.
