"The title promises a 'best' strategy, but the video is a basic walkthrough with no proof of profitability, typical of many trading videos."

AI Summary

This video presents a trading strategy for Pocket Option based on 10-second Heiken Ashi candles, combined with two indicators: MACD and a 14-period moving average. The creator shares their personal testing results and explains the exact settings and entry signals required for the method to work.

[00:00]
Introduction to the Strategy

The presenter introduces a method based on 10-second Heiken Ashi candles, tested over several months, which improved their trading results. The strategy uses only two simple indicators.

[00:28]
Chart Setup

Set the chart to 10-second Heiken Ashi candles and set the trading time to one minute by default.

[00:46]
MACD Indicator Settings

Adjust the MACD indicator periods to 14, 24, and 8. Change the colors and thicken the lines for better visibility.

[01:15]
Moving Average Settings

Set the moving average period to 14, change the color to white, and thicken the line.

[01:30]
Choosing Currency Pairs

Select currency pairs with a high profit percentage, ideally above 70%, as the method works best on such pairs.

[02:04]
Moving Average Signal

The moving average must intersect or touch the specific candle in the direction of the trade and move in the same direction. This is the only function of the moving average in this method.

[02:32]
Heiken Ashi Requirement

The method works best with Heiken Ashi candles; regular candles are not recommended.

[02:50]
MACD Signal

The MACD lines (pink and red) must intersect and move in the direction of the trade. Additionally, the MACD candles must also align with the direction of the lines.

[03:48]
Combined Signal Example

A strong signal occurs when the moving average crosses a candle and moves down, while the MACD lines cross and move down, with MACD candles also pointing down.

[04:59]
Key Parameters

The method is tested with 10-second Heiken Ashi candles and a one-minute trading time. It is simple, requiring only two indicators, and does not need tracking many parameters.

[05:43]
Avoid High Volatility

The method should not be used during high volatility because strong candle movements can cause the moving average to touch or cross multiple candles, violating the strategy's core principle.

The strategy relies on precise alignment of the moving average and MACD signals on 10-second Heiken Ashi candles, and it is most effective on high-percentage currency pairs. Avoid trading during high volatility to maintain signal clarity.

[00:00] Hello friends! Today I will present you a method based on 10 second high canash candles which I've tested for several months and this method has helped me to improve my

[00:14] results. I used two simple indicators and high canash 10 second candles which I adjusted to the periods of the indicators.

[00:27] First, I start by setting up 10-second high-cannage candles and set the trading time also to one minute by default.

[00:41] I moved on to setting up the indicators and the first is the well-known indicator MACD. Let's change the period and set it to 14, 24 and 8.

[00:55] the colors and thicken the lines and save. The second indicator is the moving average which is very important in this method. Let's increase the period to 14

[01:11] let's make the color to white, thicken the line and save. Then I continue to select currency pairs and try to choose the best pairs with the high percentage

[01:26] because this method will not work effectively on currency pairs with a low percentage with exceptions of course If the profit percentage of a currency pair is above 70 it really good and the higher the percentage the better the profit rate I think I found a great moment and opened

[01:51] the position in the upward direction. Now both indicators are very important in the method and I need their exact signal to open a position in a specific direction.

[02:06] For example, I will start by considering the moving average, which must necessarily intersect or touch the specific candle in the direction where I open the position.

[02:19] It must also move in exactly the same direction as the one in which I open the position, as I already told you. That's all the functions of the mooring average in this method and the method works best with

[02:35] high kanashi candles. Just don't use regular candles. It's so good to have the first wind. It's wonderful.

[02:48] I think I found another great moment and I'm opening the position in the upward direction again. Here I want to talk about the MACD indicators. The pink and red lines of the MACD necessarily

[03:05] intersect and move in the direction in which I opened position but I don just look at the intersection of the lines because I also pay attention to the other factors here For example the MACD canvas must also have the direction in which its own red and pink lines move

[03:26] These are necessary factors for me to open a position in a specific direction. In this case it's upward direction and everything is going so well.

[03:39] And here I fixed another cone in the green and it's great. As you can see both indicators give me a signal.

[03:51] The white line of the moving average crosses the red candles and goes down, which is already a very rare good signal. But I also have the MACD indicator.

[04:05] It's red and pink lines cross each other and also move down. Of course, if you look at the MACD candles, they also have a downward direction, and this is very, very good.

[04:18] in short the combination of the MACD and mohinga with these specific periods that I have set is excellent and of course in combination with high canacea 10 second candles like everything is going

[04:35] so great result I also recorded a third conway singwe which is very good Friends when I have any city and moving average with these specific periods that I have set it also worth considering the fact that this method works for me in the case

[05:00] when I have Heiken and Shikendo set, and the Kendo's transition time must be 10 seconds. Also, the training time is one minute by default. I've tested it exactly on these parameters.

[05:14] it's also very simpler compared to other similar methods because it doesn't require tracking many parameters and has only two indicators and that's why I think that this one is a very simple method and it's really worth to try

[05:34] Great! Woohoo! Excellent! I won again. Personally, I cannot trade with this method during high volatility because the movement of the candles is very strong and there is a high chance that the moving average indicator will touch across several different candles.

[05:56] And at this time, the main principle of this pocket option strategy is completely violated, that the right line of the moving average should only touch or cross a specific candle, and it moves in a specific direction.

[06:14] I hope you understood what I'm trying to say. I also hope you liked today's video. I wish you successful trading days and I think it's time to say goodbye

[06:27] see you in the next video thank you so so much
