ZAD + Wildan Trend System Strategy for MT4

This powerful trading strategy combines two premium indicators: the ZAD Forex System Signal Indicator and the Wildan Trend System Forex Indicator.

Together, they offer enhanced accuracy for trend trading on MetaTrader 4.

The ZAD indicator excels in identifying short-term buy and sell signals based on market momentum, while the Wildan Trend System filters these signals using dynamic trend direction and confirmation logic.

What Is This Strategy About?

The core of this strategy is to align entry signals from the ZAD system with the overall trend direction defined by the Wildan system.

The ZAD indicator provides arrows or visual cues when a potential reversal or continuation is likely, but on its own, it may give false signals in ranging conditions.

This is where the Wildan Trend System comes in—it smooths out price action and confirms the dominant direction using trend-based filtering.

Buy Rules

  • Wait for a bullish trend confirmation from the Wildan Trend System.
  • Then look for a fresh buy signal from the ZAD Forex System Signal Indicator.
  • Enter a buy trade at the open of the next candle after both conditions are met.
  • Set stop loss 10-15 pips below the last swing low.
  • Target 1:1.5 or 1:2 risk-to-reward ratio, or exit when the Wildan trend changes direction.

Sell Rules

  • Wait for a bearish trend confirmation from the Wildan Trend System.
  • Look for a sell signal from the ZAD Forex System.
  • Enter at the open of the next candle after confirmation from both indicators.
  • Place a stop loss 10-15 pips above the last swing high.
  • Use a fixed TP or trail your profit until the trend turns bullish again.

Advantages of This Strategy

  • Double confirmation: Reduces false signals by requiring both indicators to align.
  • Works across timeframes: Can be used effectively on M15, H1, and H4 charts.
  • Visual simplicity: Both indicators provide clear and easy-to-interpret signals.
  • Good for trending markets: Performs well when the market is moving in clear directions.

Drawbacks

  • Choppy markets: May produce whipsaws when the market is consolidating.
  • Lagging confirmation: Wildan Trend may delay entries, causing late signals.
  • Requires discipline: Traders must wait for both confirmations before entry.

Final Thoughts

The combination of the ZAD Forex System and the Wildan Trend System creates a balanced strategy that filters out noise and improves trade accuracy.

While no strategy is perfect, this setup gives traders an edge by synchronizing momentum and trend data.

For best results, apply it in trending markets and avoid using it during high-impact news releases.

Examples and Visual Backtesting

In backtests on EUR/USD M30 and H1 charts, the ZAD indicator has shown a good success rate when used with trend confirmation and moderate risk management.

It performs best during trending markets. In choppy or sideways conditions, filtering with a 50 EMA or RSI(14) can help reduce false signals.
