Indicator setup

  • MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence): Set up with default settings (12, 26, 9). It helps identify momentum and trend direction.

  • RSI (Relative Strength Index): Use a 14-period setting to gauge market overbought or oversold conditions.

  • Support & Resistance Levels: Identify historical price levels where the price has repeatedly bounced back or broken through.

Trigger identification

  • MACD: Look for the MACD line to cross above the trigger line for a bullish opportunity, or below for a bearish one.

  • RSI: Values above 70 indicate overbought conditions (potential put opportunity), while below 30 suggest oversold conditions (potential call opportunity).

  • Support & Resistance: A breakout occurs when the price moves beyond these levels with significant volume.

Trade execution

  • Bullish Breakout: Place a call trade when the price breaks above resistance, MACD crosses above its trigger line, and RSI is not in the overbought territory.

  • Bearish Breakout: Place a put trade when the price breaks below support, MACD crosses below its trigger line, and RSI is not in the oversold area.
