He was nice enough to share it for free at the Forex Factory forum. The original rule is to enter on the first retrace touch to the 10 MA. However, I often enter when the price has crossed and made a minute candle close past the 50 MA. And because patience is not one of my virtues. It shouldn't be more than pips away from your entry point. One of the main strengths of this strategy is its low risk. It works best when the 5 and 10 Mas are both rising at a fairly steep angle. The 10 MA line should continue to rise in a buy trade , and also act as initial support for the price.
Eventually, the price will come back through the 5 and 10 MA lines and test either the 35 or 50 MA line. And often price will just touch the 50 MA line and immediately bounce off of it. The game is often over the second time that the 50 MA is challenged. It is better to get stopped out with just a small profit than to let a profit turn into a loss.
Position trading typically is the strategy with the highest risk reward ratio. Traders will typically plot a faster and a slower moving average together, perhaps lines drawn over say 5 and 20 periods. Let's say you have an opportunity to go long. In general, most traders scalp currency pairs using a time frame between 1 and 15 minutes.

I initially wished I was still in the trade and am tempted to jump right back in. Below is a screenshot of a minute chart showing movement both above and below the 50 EMA line.
I urge you to set up your own charts with the three moving averages and watch the market action for yourself. Believe it or not, if we can simply average catching one good trade a day with this strategy, we will make it to our goal of a million dollars in 18 months or less. You need to put in the time and effort to always be learning how to improve your trading. And it is. But it can seem oh so slow in the beginning. But you simply have to steel yourself to be patient, to be content with gradually increasing your equity. Just averaging small daily profits will make that million dollars a reality.

Hi there I am interested in learning more about this challenge. When do you take profits etc. Very high quality stragy.
I study and follow you guide for my stragy. Thanks and best wish to you and your family. I glad to receive more lesson if you have it. Thanks for the strategy, Jack. Looks like 10 and 50 EMA are important. Please indicate the use of 5 EMA. Not sure whether it is required, Where as 10 EMA represents past 1. Your thoughts? Sorry to be running a year behind in replying. Hope you make it before I do. You'll both make it if you're serious about trading and not gambling. This takes discipline.
I would tweak the system a little, but that is just me! That indicator would be vital to spot incorrect entries.
Hey Jack I think you have a lot of people waiting to see the next post here as am I. DB - Next report should be out by tomorrow Friday, the 21st. I'll consider the Skype idea - thanks for the suggestion - but I'm a recluse by nature. Like Jesse Livermore, I tend to stay hidden away in my private trading office during market hours. But Casey and I have talked about setting up some sort of open forum in relation to this project - it's largely a question of time - at the moment I'm trading all morning and scribbling all afternoon. Hi Jack, First of all thank you for clearing my anxiety that what kinda strategy you going to use and honestly I was hoping that you should use moving averages, and here you go moving average it is.
I hope moving along with you I will learning the applicable difference between sma and ema. Concept wise im clear. Getting back to your strategy I have done the basic system that you proposed. So are you suggesting until and unless there is not a clear breakage we should not trade? By the way except your follow up articles on your journey of becoming millionaire are you putting up some page or going to use some resource where we can following you while trading live or anything like that or are you planning to give signals for market entry exit?
Just a suggestion if there is anything more interactive can be setup then I guess it will be very helpful for you and for us as well in terms of learning. Overall I am really looking forward to follow you on this journey and Most of all congrats on doubling your money in first day its amazing I must say.
With that being said, here is a minute MACD Forex trading strategy that you may want to try for yourself. Still tend to get out too early but I have to rebuild the margin acct and this strategy is doing that. Nothing real big but plenty of opportunities to find trades. I added.
Good luck to you. And yes, I'll be addressing that and other issues in future reports here. Where are the trades?
Do you have fxjunction? Is there a page with chart entrys to prove this works? What sessions are you trading?
How many hours are you sitting waiting for the 5 10 cross? Thx for the time and good luck Jack. You maybe my new here.
Tomi - Watch for the next report later this week for info on where you can follow this at MyFxbook. I trade primarily the NY morning session, but sometimes often Mondays and Fridays trade the London session. Occasionally I take a flyer in the Asian session, but only rarely. Hi Jack, Totally awesome results already. I hope you'll tell us how much of your account you risk and how you manage the trade. I'm ready to make my million!! You have coffee??? My new best friend! Yeah, there's just too much to fit into any one article, so I plan to do a weekly column here on this providing additional information.
