MA Crossover + Stochastic Crossing Forex Scalping Strategy for MT4
This scalping strategy combines the MA Crossover Forex System Indicator for MT4 with the Stochastic Crossing Signals Metatrader 4 Forex Indicator to create a precise, trend-following method suitable for fast-paced trading.
The MA Crossover indicator provides entry signals when short-term moving averages cross either above or below the main trend line, while the Stochastic Crossing Signals indicator confirms the direction and strength of the ongoing move.
Together, they deliver accurate scalping entries with solid trend alignment and well-defined risk control.
The MA Crossover indicator is designed to capture early momentum shifts as short-term moving averages cross the main trend line.
The Stochastic Crossing Signals indicator then validates those signals with its arrow colors—green for bullish and red for bearish.
This combination ensures you only enter trades in the direction of the prevailing trend, minimizing the risk of false signals.
Why this strategy works
The strength of this approach lies in its combination of early signal generation from the MA Crossover and confirmation from the Stochastic Crossing Signals indicator.
The MA Crossover reacts quickly to price changes, giving traders an early edge, while the Stochastic Crossing Signals filter prevents premature entries during pullbacks or choppy markets.
This helps scalpers stay on the right side of momentum and avoid false breakouts.
Buy Entry Rules
- Wait for the MA Crossover indicator to display a white arrow, signaling a potential buy opportunity.
- Confirm that the Stochastic Crossing Signals indicator displays a green arrow, indicating bullish oversold momentum.
- Enter a buy trade at the open of the next candle after both signals align.
- Place the stop loss 5–10 pips below the most recent swing low.
- Set take profit between 10–20 pips, depending on pair volatility.
- Close the trade if the MA Crossover indicator shows a red arrow or the Stochastic Crossing Signals indicator shows a red arrow.
Sell Entry Rules
- Wait for the MA Crossover indicator to display a red arrow, signaling a potential sell opportunity.
- Confirm that the Stochastic Crossing Signals indicator displays a red arrow, indicating bearish overbought momentum.
- Enter a sell trade at the open of the next candle after both signals align.
- Set the stop loss 5–10 pips above the most recent swing high.
