  You can find three moving averages in this system:

How to use Forex Octopus System for trading?

 

BUY Entry Signal

  Buy Signal Rules:

  Open Buy order when:

  • Both Octopus 1 and Octopus 2 indicators are in the Green zone.
  • The Green EMA crosses Red EMA from the bottom Upwards.
  • Orders should be opened only when all these 3 conditions mentioned above are true (both indicators and EMA crossing).
  • You can place the stop loss in the previous Low or below the recent support level.
  • The Yellow moving average can be used as a Warning signal: as it is faster than the green EMA it crosses the red EMA more quickly and therefore may represent a pre-signal of trend change.

 

  Close Buy order when:

  • Octopus 2 indicator turns into Red from green → Close all buy orders.
  • Conservative method: Take profit when Yellow EMA crosses back green EMA.

About Take Profit and Stop Loss.

 

If you are a safe and conservative trading follower, you can close the orders when yellow EMA crosses back green EMA. Though, in this case you may lose some significant amount of profit.

The price movements on different pairs can vary from 20 to 500 pips, that is why we do not recommend using fixed Take Profit as it may reduce your gains. Still, if you are an experienced trader you can take your own decision about using fixed Take Profit on certain pairs. The same idea is applied for the fixed Stop Loss using.

The better results are achieved if you close the orders following the Octopus 2 indicator signals. Fixed Stop Loss may interfere into the potentially profitable trade. Though, it is not the strict rule.

 

  If you decide to use Stop Loss please see the following recommendations:

  • Sell orders → Stop Loss may be placed 5-7 pips Above red EMA.
  • Buy orders → Stop Loss may be placed 5-7 pips Below red EMA.

 

Important News Releases.

 

Important economic news reports are usually released at the same well known time on the regular basis. You can find the detailed Economic Calendar here.

Big price moves that may take place during the news releases are not necessarily of long duration. This is the reason why we recommend closing the orders only before the economic news that may have an impact on the currency pairs you are trading with. And the decision about opening the orders again should be taken a bit later, when the market stabilizes.
