RSI Filter and Hull Moving Average Trend Trading Strategy for MT5
This trend trading strategy focuses on capturing sustained market moves using momentum confirmation and a responsive trend filter.
It combines the RSI Filter Indicator MT5 with the Hull Moving Average HMA Indicator for MT5 to build a structured approach for M15 and H1 trading.
The RSI Filter indicator improves traditional RSI signals by smoothing out noise and highlighting stronger momentum shifts.
This helps traders avoid weak entries and focus on clearer directional signals.
The Hull Moving Average acts as a dynamic trend guide. A green line indicates an uptrend, while an orange line signals a downtrend.
This combination works well because it separates roles clearly.
The HMA defines the trend, while the RSI Filter confirms momentum within that trend.
It performs strongly on major pairs as well as indices and metals.
Buy Entry Rules
- Confirm that the Hull Moving Average is green, showing a bullish trend.
- Wait for the RSI Filter histogram to turn green after a pullback.
- Enter a buy trade when price respects the HMA and momentum shifts upward.
- Place the stop loss below the recent swing low or slightly under the HMA line.
- Take profit when the RSI histogram turns magenta or when the HMA changes color to orange.
Sell Entry Rules
- Confirm that the Hull Moving Average is orange, indicating a bearish trend.
- Wait for the RSI Filter histogram to turn magenta after a retracement.
- Enter a sell trade once momentum aligns with the trend direction.
- Place the stop loss above the recent swing high or slightly above the HMA line.
- Take profit when the RSI histogram turns green or when the HMA flips to green.
