Big Trend PSAR + Execute Line Forex Intraday Strategy

This intraday strategy combines the Big Trend PSAR Forex Indicator MT4 with the Execute Line Forex Signal Indicator MT4.

The Big Trend PSAR plots blue arrows for buy signals and red arrows for sell signals directly on the chart.

The Execute Line displays a yellow line for bullish trends and a purple line for bearish trends.

This combination helps traders enter trades in the direction of the dominant trend while using precise intraday entries on M5, M15, and H1 charts.

Why This Strategy Works

The Big Trend PSAR highlights potential reversals and short-term momentum shifts, while the Execute Line confirms the overall trend.

By only taking trades when both the PSAR arrow and trend line agree, traders can reduce false entries and scalp short-term moves with higher probability.

This approach is effective for intraday traders who want to catch quick swings without holding trades for long periods.

Buy Entry Rules

  • Wait for a blue arrow from the Big Trend PSAR indicator.
  • Confirm that the Execute Line is yellow, indicating bullish trend direction.
  • Enter a buy trade at the open of the next candle after both conditions align.
  • Place a stop loss below the recent swing low or the low of the PSAR arrow candle.
  • Take profit when:
    • The Big Trend PSAR plots a red arrow, or
    • The Execute Line turns purple, or
    • A short-term pip target is reached (15–30 pips for M5–M15, 30–50 for H1).

Sell Entry Rules

  • Wait for a red arrow from the Big Trend PSAR indicator.
  • Confirm that the Execute Line is purple, indicating bearish trend direction.
  • Enter a sell trade at the open of the next candle after both signals align.
  • Place a stop loss above the recent swing high or the high of the PSAR arrow candle.
  • Take profit when:
    • The Big Trend PSAR plots a blue arrow, or
    • The Execute Line turns yellow, or
    • Pip target is reached (15–30 pips for M5/M15, 30–50 for H1).

Advantages

  • Combines precise reversal signals with trend confirmation.
  • Reduces false trades by only trading with the trend.
  • Works across multiple intraday timeframes.
  • Helps traders catch short-term moves efficiently.

Drawbacks

  • Requires constant monitoring on shorter timeframes.
  • Spread and slippage may reduce profitability on smaller targets.
  • May give late entries if the trend line lags slightly behind the arrows.
