This is a simple moving average trading setup shared by Mike Bruns. I read it on Trading Setups Review and decided to give it a try. The concept was fairly simple to understand and turn into an indicator.

Buy Setup:
  • 9 EMA must be above the 20 EMA or 30 WMA
  • Close below 9 EMA (More conservatively, entire bar below 9 EMA)
  • Place buy stop order above the high of the bar that closes below 9 EMA
Sell Setup:
  • The 9 EMA must be below the 20 EMA or 30 WMA
  • Close above 9 EMA (More conservatively, entire bar above 9 EMA)
  • Place sell stop order below the low of the bar that closes above 9 EMA
