"Title promises a 'new combination of indicators' and the video delivers exactly that — with live examples and rules, though the low production value and repetitive wording slightly dampen the delivery."

AI Summary

This video presents a structured trading strategy built on four indicators — two moving averages, the Vortex indicator, and MACD — all applied to 1-minute timeframes. The method emphasizes confluence, where all indicators must align in the same direction before entering a trade, with a strong preference for bearish (downward) positions.

[00:12]
Indicator Setup

Set two moving averages with periods 10 (blue, EMA) and 3 (yellow, EMA), the Vortex indicator (period 10), and MACD (15, 27, 9).

[02:01]
Candle Color Rule

For downward trades, always wait for a red candle. Avoid green candles, except small ones which require checking indicator strength.

[03:09]
MA Cross as Initial Signal

The first signal comes from the cross of the blue and yellow moving averages. This is the primary trigger.

[04:26]
MACD Confirmation

MACD red and green lines must cross, and the MACD histogram should be moving downward. The signal is better if the MACD candles have just started (4 or fewer).

[05:05]
Indicator Confluence

Stronger signals occur when the Vortex lines and MACD lines are closely aligned, combined with a fresh MA cross.

[07:47]
Mandatory Alignment

All three indicators must coincide. If any one does not confirm, the position is not opened.

[08:01]
Avoiding Late Entries

Never trade if the MACD histogram already has too many candles in the trade direction — that's delayed reaction.

[08:33]
Prefer Bearish Trades

The strategy works best for bearish positions. Bullish entries are rare. Avoid high volatility periods.

💡 Key Takeaways

💡

It establishes the initial direction signal that the other indicators must confirm.

All-Inclusive Confluence Rule

It prevents trade entries when any single indicator does not align, filtering out false signals.

MACD Candle Freshness

It defines a clear, time-based condition that separates fresh momentum from a delayed reaction.

[00:00] Hello friends! Today I will have a new combination of indicators which consists of four different time frames. The combination of these indicators together

[00:12] gives me an excellent trading signal which I will try to show you during the video. I start by setting the well-known indicator its mooring average. Let's leave

[00:29] the period as it is at 10 I replace sml with the emma but change the color to blue thicken the line and save the second indicator is also a moving average I will reduce the period to three

[00:49] here I change and set emma the color is yellow and save the third indicator is vertex I think it signal is one of the main ones in the method. I set the period to 10, thicken the line and save.

[01:07] The fourth is MACD which also gives me very important signals. The MACD periods are 15, 27 and 9.

[01:21] let's also thicken the lines, leave the colors as they are and save. Then I set up one minute candles

[01:33] and also trading time is one minute. Of course I will choose the best currency pairs. I want to

[01:45] you that in today's video I will explain several important factors related to trading which in this method has helped me a lot to open more effective positions so I think an interesting video awaits

[02:01] you it exactly the perfect moment to enter one of the main rules of my strategy is this when I I open a position in the downward direction I always wait for a red candle I avoid entering on a green one as much as possible because my expertise has shown that these indicators will work much more accurately on a red candle

[02:31] To be more specific, when I open a position in the downward direction, it is better to open a position when I have a red candle. There are moments when they are making a small week end up but I would also open a position and I would try to find such moments and show you the difference between these two.

[02:54] Great! I made a pretty convincing profit and I'm still continuing to trade here because the indicator signals have not ended yet.

[03:09] Friends, when the blue and yellow lines of the moon carriage cross each other and move in this case in the downward direction, One of the necessary factors is the candles. As I already told you, if we have a strong green candle, in this case I don't open a position, but if I have a small green candle, in this case I watch the indicator signals, how strong they are, and then I make a decision.

[03:37] and if we have red candles this is the best additional signal to open a position in the dollar direction I think everything is going perfectly on the

[03:54] market and it's light it's so cool to have the second profit but I have to reach to another currency tier. I have identified a good moment and I

[04:12] opened the position again in the downward direction, of course for a period of one minute. If I have a moving average signal and if I have strong red candles then I

[04:26] watch the MACD indicator its red and green lines must necessarily intersect each other and the MACD candles must also be made in the downward direction The signal is better if the MACD candles have just started moving in the downward direction

[04:43] roughly speaking if four or less than four candles are made it's the best signal for this method and I think I like the situation on the market I think I'm gonna win this trade great I also recorded my

[05:05] third perfect means. Finally, the second of this method is that the more reasonably the lines of each indicator close each other the stronger the

[05:20] signal. As you can see the red and green lines of the vortex indicator close each other, the MACD lines also close each other and as you can see on the platform a red MACD candle has also been made in the downward direction.

[05:38] I have these two strong signals and also the blue and yellow lines of the moving average have crossed each other recently which is the third strong signal and this was the reason why

[05:53] I entered this trade and overall I like the situation on the market. It's good that I won but as you can see the Kansas did not go down as much as I expected.

[06:09] and of course I'm still continuing to trade here because I think that trend will go down further and I hope so. If the trend still persists and the candles don't go down, I usually don't follow it to the end and just switch to another currency pair.

[06:30] So when I have good signals from all three indicators and also strong red candles are fixed there is a high chance of successfully closing the trade and of course in the downward direction Now I hope that this position will be successfully closed um also and i will continue to trade on i think another currency tears because

[06:57] oh that's cool oh this position was closed uh at a risk and i didn't win some of the entries as you can see

[07:11] I missed a few seconds and would have closed all the entries successfully. That's what happens sometimes. I think it's an ideal moment, and of course I open the position on the decline.

[07:30] In my experience, this strategy works best when all three indicators show a bearish signal at the same time. However, there are cases when I also open bullish positions.

[07:47] My main rule is this. To open a position, all three indicators must coincide. If at least one of them does not confirm the signal, I don't take the risk and simply do not open the position.

[08:01] I also never open a position if there are already too many candles on the MACD and in the direction in which I was going to enter. I think this often means delayed reaction and I think I'm going to

[08:21] trade. It's great! It's great! I have won again and again and I think I'm already finishing my trading sessions here. I hope I covered all the details

[08:33] in detail and didn't miss anything. As I often say I don't use it during high volatility. I will also remind you that I don't open bullish positions very often

[08:46] with this particular method and most of the positions are just bearish because it works much better for me in bearish positions. I wish you very very successful trading

[08:58] days and see you in the next review. Thank you so so much
