Moving averages:
EMA 100
EMA 200

MACD: Default

Time frames: High time frame and a lower time frame. The thread starts with Daily and H1 but this combination is not magical.

Two Stage Strategy:

Stage 1 High time frame set up:

1) Seek buying opportunity when 100 EMA is above 200 EMA and MACD crosses up.
2) Seek selling opportunity when 100 EMA below 200 EMA and MACD crosses down.

Stage 2 Low time frame set up:

1) Buy when 100 EMA is above 200 EMA and only when MACD crosses up.
2) Sell when 100 EMA is below 200 EMA and only when MACD crosses down.

NOTE: As long as Stage 1 set up is intact then multiple entries can occur with each stage 2 set up.

Money management is up to each individual trader.

Daily setup occurs when Daily 100 EMA crosses below Daily 200 EMA and Daily MACD crosses down.
Now we go to H1 time frame.

H1 setup occurs when H1 100 EMA crosses below H1 200 EMA.
Sell when H1 MACD crosses down.

As long as Daily setup is intact one can keep selling with every H1 setup.

Did you find an exit strategy that works well with this type of entry?

My exits are generally R:R based. I strive for a minimum of 2:1 but prefer 3:1.

Glance over the charts a bit. Catching RR 2:1 looks rather frequent. One does have to have faith to hold thou...

What about if after entry the D changes setup?
Do you exit immediately or wait for SL hit?

Trades occur only in the context of a proper H1 setup and only if the Daily setup is present. H1 will very likely change well before the daily setup changes.

Once a trade is in progress the H1 should be used to monitor the ongoing trade. Therefore one should exit trades based on the H1 long before the daily setup changes.

I hope this helps.

I added another NOTE to post 1.

NOTE: Trade entries should occur at or very near the time of the H1 MACD cross.

Thanks for sharing Winston Reed, simple is beautiful.
The AUDNZD Setup has just been released recently, even at a lower price than the original entry.
Although the answer is personal, up to what point does the SL keep it in case the operation does not work, cross lines on H1?, previous swing?, makes re-entries waiting for the turn in favor of the trend?, etc.

Managing a trade is a topic for which little is said. Unfortunately I'm not one to venture much into the topic either. One's money management is where the answer lies when it comes to managing a trade. Quite simply one wants the trade to move in the desired direction and tolerance for movement in the opposite direction must be a personal decision. I know this doesn't really answer your question as you'd probably like but I hope it begins your own personal journey to finding the answer.

H4-M15 COMBO {image}
I think if you use ema cross there is no need to use mtf ema

ema 100 and ema 50 already similiar with my indicatorH1 on my chart

and ema 7 + ema 14 already similiar with my indicatorM15 on my chart

my scenario chart m5
Emma 7
Emma 14
ema 50
ema 100

if ema 50 is above ema 100 = buy only
you can use EA with small lot for this

if there is a correction when ema 7 below ema 14 and ema 50 still above ema 100 ,it's time to buy with large lots and close immediately if the profit is sufficient

see arrow open and close on my chart

If you use EMA, you need to consider other than EMA cross

1 MACD > 0 or MACD<0

2 EMAs up down
EMA0<EMA1 = down
EMA 0>EMA1 = up

I was stopped on a buy stop on EURJPY last night. The green arrow on MACD show it was bullish and the MAs were in line on daily and H1.

However,

On H1 price had begun a LH, LL scenario so although one doesn't have to wait for trending behavior to also be in line with the other parameters it may be helpful.
