MA Forex Profit System + AFIRMA MT4 Day Trading Strategy
This day trading strategy combines the trend clarity of the MA Forex Profit System Indicator for MT4 with the multi-timeframe trend confirmation of the AFIRMA Forex Trend Indicator for MT4.
The MA Profit System uses a thick green line to indicate buying conditions and a thick red line to indicate selling conditions.
AFIRMA plots a blue line for a bullish trend and a red line for a bearish trend.
Together, they give a clean, low-noise way to trade intraday moves with high-probability entries and defined risk.
This setup is best on 15-minute and 1-hour charts for day trading.
It also works on 5-minute charts for traders who prefer more frequent signals, but expect more noise.
The strategy is aimed at traders who want clear trend-based entries, disciplined stop placement, and targets that capture the day’s directional move.
Why this combination works
The MA Profit System provides a clear visual of the immediate market bias through its thick colored line.
AFIRMA adds confidence by confirming the trend across one or more higher timeframes.
When both indicators agree, you trade with the trend and momentum rather than against it.
This reduces false breakouts and improves risk-to-reward on intraday setups.
Buy Entry Rules
- Confirm the MA Forex Profit System shows a green thick line on the chart you trade, indicating buy bias.
- Check that the AFIRMA line is blue on the same chart and, if possible, on a higher timeframe (for example, H1 when trading M15).
- Enter a buy at the close of the candle that first confirms both green (MA) and blue (AFIRMA) alignment.
- Place stop loss below the recent swing low or below the MA thick line by a buffer of 8–15 pips for currencies, or appropriate ticks for metals.
- Target intraday resistance or a fixed target of 25–50 pips on 15-minute setups, or 50–120 pips on 1-hour setups, depending on volatility.
- If the price closes back below the MA thick line or AFIRMA flips red, exit the trade immediately.
Sell Entry Rules
- Confirm the MA Forex Profit System shows a red thick line, indicating a sell bias.
- Check AFIRMA is red on the trading timeframe and ideally red on the higher timeframe too.
- Enter a sell at the close of the candle that confirms both indicators are aligned bearish.
- Place stop loss above the recent swing high or above the MA line by 8–15 pips or an appropriate buffer.
- Set take profit at the next intraday support or a fixed target of 25–50 pips on M15, larger on H1.
- If AFIRMA or the MA thick line flips back to bullish conditions, close the position.
Advantages
- Clear visual signals reduce hesitation and speed decision-making.
- Dual confirmation cuts the number of false entries in choppy markets.
- Works on multiple timeframes so you can scale from scalping to larger intraday trades.
- Stop and exit rules are simple, making risk control straightforward.
- Suitable for both forex majors and liquid commodities such as gold.
Drawbacks
- Fewer signals when indicators disagree, which may feel slow for active traders.
- Indicator flips can lag at extremes, causing late entries in very sharp moves.
- Large news events can invalidate signals quickly and cause slippage.
- Fixed pip targets may need adjustment per pair and session volatility.
Case Study 1 – EUR/USD, 15-minute
During the London session, EUR/USD showed the MA thick line turning green as buyers regained control.
AFIRMA on the 15-minute chart turned blue, and AFIRMA on H1 was already blue, confirming alignment.
A buy entry was taken at the close of the confirming candle.
A stop was placed 12 pips below the recent swing low, and the initial target was set to 30 pips.
Price moved steadily and hit the target within a few hours while the indicators remained aligned.
The higher timeframe confirmation reduced the chance of a quick reversal.
Case Study 2 – Gold (XAU/USD), 1-hour
Gold formed a clear intraday downtrend after a risk-off move.
The MA thick line switched to red, and AFIRMA on the hourly chart turned red as well.
A sell trade was entered at candle close with a stop above the last swing high and a profit target equal to two times the stop distance.
The move extended as safe-haven flows pushed gold lower, and the trade closed near the target.
Using gold shows the method works on metals with wider swings; buffers and targets were expanded to account for larger volatility.
Strategy Tips
- Prefer trades where AFIRMA agrees on the trading timeframe and a higher timeframe for added confidence.
- Use wider buffers and larger targets on volatile pairs or metals like gold.
- Avoid taking signals immediately before high-impact news releases.
- Scale position size to account for intraday volatility and spread differences across pairs.
- Consider moving the stop to breakeven when half the target is reached to protect capital.
This day trading strategy focuses on trading with the trend and using multi-timeframe confirmation to increase accuracy.
With disciplined risk management and patience to wait for alignment, it can capture reliable intraday moves in both forex and commodities such as gold.
