Usage scenarios
Trend-following strategies based on moving averages
With the Perfect Order arrow signals, a simple approach can be adopted: buy when an upward Perfect Order appears and sell when a downward Perfect Order is detected.
For managing stop-losses and take-profits on positions acquired using this method, you can base your decisions on the disappearance of the Perfect Order. Alternatively, combining it with volatility indicators like ATR or technical indicators like RSI can further refine your strategy.
Using for exit decisions on existing positions
For existing positions, exit decisions can be based on the disappearance of a Perfect Order or the appearance of a Perfect Order indicating the opposite trend from the entry. If quicker exit decisions are required, adjusting the period settings of moving averages, particularly the short-term one, to shorter durations can be a useful approach.
Reviewing the effectiveness of perfect orders in historical markets
The Perfect Order Indicator displays arrow signals on historical charts, allowing you to review when and where Perfect Orders were effective. By comparing past market movements with the timing of arrow signals, you can evaluate how well they align with your trading strategy and assess the associated risks more effectively.
By introducing the Perfect Order Indicator, trend-following approaches using multiple moving averages become much easier to understand. If you are a trend-following trader, this tool is highly recommended for your strategy.
