30 Min Simple System

This is an extremely simple system which I have found useful experimenting with intra-day
trading. I cooked this up on short notice just playing around with numbers and it seems to
work well. I do not trade this live as of yet, but I am planning on refining it to higher standards
and beginning day trading.
I am open to any suggestions you may have!
Set Up:
30 Minute Candle Charts (GBP / USD , EUR/USD)
EMA 5 Applied to Close (red)
EMA 10 Applied to Open (aqua)
MACD Setting 8, 20, 9
RSI 14
Entry Rules:
Long:
1. MACD Crosses negative to positive, RSI above 50
2. MACD is positive, 5 EMA re-crosses 10 EMA in positive direction
Short:
1. MACD Crosses positive to negative, RSI below 50
2. MACD is negative, 5 EMA re-crosses 10 EMA in negative direction
Exit Rules:
1. For Entries 1 , exit when the EMAs re-cross each other in opposite direction
2. For Entries 2, there is a profit taking level of 25 pips.
Money Management:
1. For Entries 1, S/L = 30 pips. Manually Trailing stop of 30 pips is recommended. This will
create more break-even trades but you will lose less money, and is the safer way to trade.
For entries "2" Profit taking is 25 pips.
2. Risk no more than 5% of account each trade.
Has been tested on GBP / USD and EUR / USD
