First lot was taken out when price moved the same distance as stop
loss. Second lot was exited when HMA5 turned down (indicated by the
blue rectangle).

 The next bar, price resumed its upward direction, making HMA5 turn
up again. We had a L1 long signal and entered with three lots.

Then we look for a small retracement of price. In the above picture,
price retraced a little bit (two red candles), making HMA5 turn down.

crossed up, signifying an uptrend.

If the trade does not go in our favor, we exit all three lots when HMA
12 changes its direction against us (that means in an uptrend we exit
all three lots when HMA 12 turns down) or when our stop loss is hit.
5. Filter
We do not take trades when price has retraced too much and when the
trend has lost its momentum. When one of the following conditions
takes place, we do not put on any trade until a new trend has
established:
a. Price closes below GMMA in an uptrend or closes above GMMA in
a downtrend.
b. Long MACD crosses down in an uptrend or crosses up in a
downtrend.

 . Exit Signal and Stop Loss Placement
http://www.forexbus.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/09/forex-trading-summary2.GIFWith each signal, we enter with three lots.
Stop loss is placed as the last swing high/low
If the trade goes in our favor, we exit 1 lot at the same distance as the
stop loss. For example, if our stop loss is place at -40 pips from the
entry price, we exit the first lot when we have +40 pips (excluding
spread) in profit. As soon as we take the first lot out, we move our
stop loss to break-even for the remaining two lots. The second lot is
taken out when HMA 5 changes its direction against us (that means in
an uptrend we exit the second lot when HMA 5 turns down). The third
lot is taken out when HMA 12 changes its direction against us (that
means in an uptrend we exit the third lot when HMA 12 turns down).

Buy (Go Long): When price is trending up (as defined by our above
criteria), we look for a small stall or retracement, and then enter when
the trend resumes. Price retraces and makes HMA 5 changes its
direction from up to down. We enter when HMA 5 changes its direction
from down to up. It signals that the price has resumed its established
trend. During the entire retracement, however, HMA 12 direction is
still up (i.e. price only retraces a little bit, not enough for HMA 12 slope
to change). This is what distinguishes L1 signal from L2 signal.

.3. Clarification
Why is it required that EMA 20 and EMA 30 are well separated from
each other? Because if they are close together, the market is probably
choppy and therefore whipsaws are likely to occur.
3. Entry signals
We have two types of entry signals, namely Level 1 (L1) signal and
Level 2 (L2) signal. They are described as follows:
3.1. L1 signal

 .2. Downtrend
The trend is regarded as down when long MACD has crossed down and
both EMA 20 and EMA 30 are pointing downward and the spread
between EMA 20 and EMA 30 is considerably large (the two EMAs are
well separated from each other).

Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of

fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical
performance results and actual results subsequently achieved by any
particular trading program.
One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are
generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical
trading does not involve financial risk and no hypothetical trading record can
completely account for the impact of financial risk in actual trading.
For example the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular
trading program in spite of the trading losses are material points, which can
also adversely affect trading results. There are numerous other factors
related to the market in general or to the implementation of any specific
trading program, which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of
hypothetical performance results. All of which can adversely affect actual
trading results.
