INTRODUCTION
The Forex Trend Secrets trading system is a simple yet powerful system that has performed well during Demo and the Live Rounds of the recent Surefire Trading Challenge.
It is a simple system that would be ideal for new traders that are still getting up to speed with trading the Forex market but can also be very powerful in the hands of more advanced traders.
The system relies on two key standard indicators that many traders tend to overlook. The system has also been designed to work on an intraday basis but it can be traded on all timeframes and all available currency pairs.
The Forex Trend Secrets system is very easy to apply once you are familiar with the rules. It uses a 1:1 to 1:1.5 risk/reward ratio which means you could potentially gain as much as you risk or more on each trade that you enter.
The indicators that are part of this system are very easy to understand and interpret making it a great system for new traders. The Forex Trend Secrets system can be considered as a conservative strategy which means that the risks are relatively low.
This is a trend following strategy and the entire strategy revolves around ensuring that traders remain on the right side of the trend at all times.
As you know, the trend is your friend and if you can follow the rules of this trading system you can be sure that you will remain on the right side of trade for the majority of your trading endeavours.
SETTING UP YOUR CHARTS
This system uses two standard indicators that are available on nearly all trading platforms available on the web. The primary indicator is the Alligator indicator which is one of the most overlooked indicators in trading. The second indicator used in this system is the Relative Strength Index (RSI) indicator.
We’ll go into greater detail about how these indicators are used as part of the trading system but before we can get to that, we will need to setup our charts by applying eachof the indicators and configuring the settings.
Setting up your charts to trade this system is very easy. Once you are done setting up your charts, this is what your charts should look like:
As you can see on the chart image above, the Forex Trend Secrets system relies on an uncluttered chart setup. Once you are familiar with the Buy and Sell entry rules, identifying trade setups becomes very simple.
Before we get to the rules for entering trades, we will need to prepare our charts so let us now take a closer look at how to accomplish this.
The first step is to open up a blank chart and change the properties. If you would like your charts to look exactly like mine, start by changing the properties on the Colors tab to match the image below:
Next, change the properties on the Common tab to match the image below:
At this point, we can start to add our indicators to our chart. Let’s begin by adding the Alligator indicator. On your MT4 platform, go to the top menu and click on Insert > Indicators > Bill Williams > Alligator as shown on the image below:
As soon as you have completed the steps above, you will be presented with the indicators parameters window. The Alligator indicator uses the default settings so there should be no need to make any additional changes at this point but here’s what the settings on your Parameters tab should be set to:
On the next tab you will find the Colors settings.
As you can see on the image above, the 3 most important components of the Alligator indicator are the Jaws, the Teeth and the Lips. I’ve decided to use the default colors but you will notice that I have changed the thickness of the lines to make them appear boldon my charts.
The final tab is the Visualization tab which may remain unchanged as shown on the image below. Next, simply click on the OK button and the indicator will now be added on to your chart.
The Alligator indicator helps us to identify the overall trend and the direction in which we should be looking to trade.
When the lines representing the Lips and the Teeth cross below the Jaws it is a good indication that the market is starting to move downwards.
And in the same way, when the lines representing the Lips and the Teeth cross above the Jaws it is a good indication that the market is starting to move upwards.
