Forex Universal Trend strategy MASA

MASA is a trend trading strategy based on the functioning of classic forex indicators. The strategy works great during a trend in the market, and it can also work out of a trend, but the probability of making a profit will not be as great as in a trend. Its application will not be difficult, but while trades promise to be profitable. Trades using this strategy can be made on any timeframe, with any currency pairs.

Strategy indicators

The MASA strategy is based on four standard indicators, so before using this trading strategy, it is recommended to study each indicator included in it.

  • -Moving Average (Smoothed) - smoothed moving average applied to the price chart. Period 24 is set.
  • -Awesome Oscillator - an oscillator that will accurately determine the entry points to any trades. It is located in the lower chart window. The settings remain unchanged.
  • -Stochastic Oscillator-indicator indicating overbought or oversold zones with values ​​of 14.5.5.
  • -ADX-indicator that helps to determine the presence of a price trend. The period is set to 8 and an additional level of 35.

Trading with the MASA strategy

Making trades using the MASA indicator is very simple, especially if  each indicator is studied, since the conditions for each indicator to complete the trade must match.

Conditions for Buy trades:

  • -The price is above the smoothed moving average.
  • -The columns of the Awesome Oscillator indicator have a growth value and are directed upwards.
  • - The main line of the Stochastic Oscillator indicator is above the signal line, but has not reached the overbought zone.
  • -The main ADX line crosses level 35 from the bottom up. And the additional +DI line is above the -DI line.

If all of the above conditions match, a long position is opened. Stop loss is set at 35 points, and take profit is set at 80 points.
