DAT Cloud Signal + Entry Take Profit Forex Winner Strategy

What This Strategy Is About

This trading method blends the strength of the DAT Cloud Signal Forex Indicator with the precision of the Entry Take Profit Forex Winner Indicator.

The DAT Cloud Signal acts as a reliable trend filter, showing the dominant market direction through its colored cloud structure, while the Entry Take Profit Winner provides exact entry points and realistic targets for taking profit.

By combining these tools, traders can identify the primary trend first and then take trades in that direction, using well-defined entry and exit rules.

This makes it easier to avoid low-probability setups and focus on the trades that align with market momentum.

The system can be used on multiple currency pairs and timeframes, but H1 and H4 charts have shown the most consistent results for swing-style trading.

Buy Rules

  • Wait until the DAT Cloud Signal turns bullish, with the price trading above the cloud.
  • Look for a buy arrow from the Entry Take Profit Forex Winner in the same bullish direction.
  • Open a buy position at the close of the signal candle.
  • Use the first take profit target from the Entry Take Profit Winner, or aim for 50–100 pips depending on volatility.
  • Place a stop loss just below the most recent swing low or 20–30 pips under the cloud.

Sell Rules

  • Wait until the DAT Cloud Signal turns bearish, with the price trading below the cloud.
  • Look for a sell arrow from the Entry Take Profit Forex Winner in the same bearish direction.

  • Use the first take profit target from the Entry Take Profit Winner, or aim for 50–100 pips depending on volatility.
