MACD Divergence Trading Strategy

MACD Divergence Forex trading strategy — is one of the quite reliable systems and is based on the standard MACD indicator. Actually, the divergence between MACD line and the currency pair rate is the basic signal in this strategy. This system has rather fuzzy entry and exit points, but it's easy to spot the signal and the trades can be rather profitable, as it helps to catch the pull-backs and the trend reversals. 

Stochastic Oscillator Trading Strategy

It's based on a standard Stochastic Oscillator indicator, which signals a trend fatigue and change. That means that you will almost always enter on pull-backs, guaranteeing rather safe stop-loss levels.
