20 Pips a Day Strategy - Gold 20 Pips Strategy
The 20 pips price range moving average indicator strategy is used with the 15 minutes & 1H Charts. On this chart timeframes we use the 100 and 200 simple moving average Moving Average indicator.
Both the 1 Hour & 15 minute trading chart timeframes will use the 100 & 200 simple moving average MA indicator (SMA Trading Indicator) to identify the direction of the trend.
The 1 Hour chart timeframe checks the long term direction of the price trend, upward trend or downwards trend, depending on the direction of the Moving Averages. All trades taken should be in this direction.
We then use the 15 minutes price chart to find optimal point which to enter trade transactions. Trade Positions are opened only when price is within 10 or 20 pips(points) range of the 200 simple moving average Moving Average indicator, if price is not within this pip range the trades are not opened.

To generate buy signals using the 20 pips moving average indicator trading strategy, we shall use the 1 hour and 15 min chart timeframe.

On 15 min chart timeframe, when price reaches the 20 pips range above the 200 simple moving average MA indicator, we open a buy trade and place a stop loss 20 pips below the 200 simple moving average MA indicator. Stop loss can be adjusted to the amount of Pips that are suitable for your style method but to avoid being stopped out by normal Gold volatility its best to use 20 pips stop loss order.
A buy trade can also be opened when price tests/touches the 100 Simple moving average indicator, provided it's not set very far from the 200 Simple Moving Average Line. Normally the 100 period simple moving average indicator will be within the 20 pips range of the 200 period simple Moving Average indicator.
