Smart Entry Strategy Using Gladius Signals and Supply & Demand Blocks
The Gladius Forex Signal Indicator offers real-time buy and sell signals, but combining it with the Demand and Supply Forex Block Indicator for MT5 creates a powerful strategy based on confirmation and price reaction zones.
This approach helps filter out weak trades and increases the probability of high-quality entries around key market levels.
Best Timeframes
Recommended timeframes are M15, M30, and H1. These offer a balance of precision and opportunity without excessive noise.
Strategy Elements
- Gladius Indicator: Provides clear buy/sell signals based on short-term market pressure and directional bias.
- Demand and Supply Indicator: Highlights strong institutional zones where price is likely to react or reverse.
Buy Trade Setup
- Wait for the price to approach a green demand zone as marked by the Demand and Supply Block Indicator.
- Once price enters or taps the demand zone, look for a Gladius buy signal to appear.
- Enter a buy trade on the candle close following the Gladius signal.
- Place your stop-loss just below the demand zone.
- Target the next resistance area or aim for a 1:2 to 1:3 risk-reward ratio.
Sell Trade Setup
- Wait for the price to reach a red supply zone as identified by the Demand and Supply Block Indicator.
- Once price enters or reacts to the supply zone, wait for a Gladius sell signal to confirm bearish momentum.
- Enter a sell trade on the close of the signal candle.
- Set your stop-loss just above the supply zone.
- Target the nearest demand level or use a minimum 1:2 risk-reward plan.
Why This Strategy Works
Price often reacts strongly to institutional demand and supply levels.
By combining these zones with the timely signals from the Gladius Indicator, you increase the accuracy and timing of your trades.
The Demand and Supply Indicator acts as your zone filter, and Gladius handles the timing.
Extra Tip
Use this strategy in trending markets for continuation entries, or in ranging markets to catch reversals at extreme zones. Avoid taking signals far from any supply or demand area for the best results.
