Averages OSMA + SuperTrend MTF Forex Strategy for MT4
This trend-following strategy is built by combining the Averages OSMA Forex Signal Indicator with the SuperTrend MTF Forex Signal Indicator.
Together, they offer a dual-confirmation system for identifying strong directional moves with a lower risk of false signals.
This strategy is ideal for swing traders and intraday traders who seek high-probability entries and clear trend filters.
What Is This Strategy About?
The core idea of this strategy is to trade only in the direction of the higher timeframe trend (using the SuperTrend MTF) and then execute entries when the Averages OSMA confirms momentum on the current chart.
This multi-timeframe approach improves accuracy by aligning your trades with the dominant market direction while ensuring you’re not entering during a pullback or low-momentum phase.
How the Indicators Work Together
1. SuperTrend MTF Indicator
This indicator shows the trend direction of a higher timeframe (e.g., H1 trend shown on M15 chart).
When it is green, the higher timeframe trend is bullish; when red, the trend is bearish.
It filters out trades that go against the dominant direction and helps you stay on the right side of the market.
2. Averages OSMA Indicator
This indicator combines moving averages with the Oscillator of Moving Averages (OSMA) to generate high-quality buy and sell signals.
It’s sensitive to momentum and price shifts, helping to time your entries within the larger trend defined by the SuperTrend MTF.
Buy Rules
- The SuperTrend MTF indicator must show a bullish trend (green line or signal).
- Wait for a Buy Signal from the Averages OSMA indicator on the current timeframe.
- Confirm that the price is above the moving average baseline (if visible).
- Enter at the close of the OSMA buy signal candle.
- Set stop loss below the recent swing low or below the nearest support level.
- Take profit at a fixed 1:2 risk-reward, or trail the stop using the SuperTrend MTF signal change.
Sell Rules
- The SuperTrend MTF indicator must show a bearish trend (red line or signal).
- Wait for a Sell Signal from the Averages OSMA indicator.
- Ensure price is below the moving average line (if displayed).
- Enter at the close of the OSMA sell candle.
- Stop loss above the recent high or the resistance zone.
- Target a 1:2 risk-reward or trail your stop loss along with trend changes.

Advantages of This Strategy

Drawbacks and Considerations
- During choppy markets or low volatility, signals may lag or become less reliable.
- Late entries can occur if OSMA reacts slowly after SuperTrend signals a trend.
- Works best during active sessions (London and New York)—avoid using it in thin markets.
Conclusion
By combining the Averages OSMA and SuperTrend MTF indicators, this MT4 strategy provides a solid framework for trading with the trend while capturing momentum-based entries.
It minimizes risk by filtering out weak setups and maximizes potential by aligning multiple timeframes.
