MACD is good too, but i do not feel suitable with this, and then i just take stochastic and trendline for my trading..and i have been trading with using scalping then for it , i take a little target and it is easier touched by the trend

That is right. The MACD is good but in that strategy i will prefer the RSI to replace the MACD since in that chart many wrong and fake signal showed by MACD. Using MA as trendlines and RSI as entry point seems better than wait long time for MACD signal.

Your explanation interesting. In the picture you show, you just use a Time Frame. Is not the need to use some of our Trading Time Frame? Why do not we use or daily H4 Time Frame ...

Yes before going into trade everyone should make some planning and trade according to that. I have also a plan. I target a 50 pips profit or loss everyday and I try to make as quick as I can the profit. Then I stop trading.

There is different ways in planning a trade but this is how I do it.

A. This is the entry point determined by the MACD. There is no mystery
about the entry. When the MACD satisfy the rules as outlined in the 4
Hour MACD strategy document then enter.
B. This is our first area of partial profit taking. We have 3 barriers namely
the 8EMA, 21EMA and the price level of 1.2200 to overcome. Where
you set your partial profit taking is up to you. If you can watch it live you
can always decide real time otherwise set it at what you feel
comfortable with. The order of importance is price level first, then
21EMA and the 8EMA.
C. Next is the 89SMA and the price level of 1.2100. Both very important
but the 89SMA normally halts or turn the price around. At this stage I
will close everything except 20% of my position if there is still room to
go.
D. Just above D we have a trendline that should see our full position
closed. It could go to the 200SMA and the blue zone but only when live
in front of the computer will I give it still a chance below the trendline.



Take partial profit at B, then another at C and then closed out at D. It
completely ignored the 89SMA and went straight down to the trendline.
When the trendline was hit the MACD indicated a trade upwards with the
89SMA as first barrier and so on and so on and so on.
