Stock Indices 20 Pips Moving Average Strategies

The 20-pip moving average plan fits 1-hour and 15-minute stock charts. We add 100 and 200 simple moving averages on these.

The trend direction will be found using the 100 and 200 SMA (SMA Technical Indicator) on both the 1 Hour and 15 minute charts.

The 1-hour chart is great for checking the market's long-term trend - up or down - by following the moving averages. Any trade you take should line up with that trend.

We utilize the 15-minute chart to identify the optimal entry points for stock trades. Trades are initiated only when the stock price is within a 20-pip range of the 200 simple moving average: if the stock price does not fall within this pip range, stock trade positions will not be opened.

Uptrend/Bullish Market

For buy signals with the 20-pips moving average plan, pick the 1-hour or 15-minute chart.

On the H1 chart, the stock price should be higher than both the 100 and 200 simple moving averages. Then, we switch to a shorter chart, the 15-minute one, to get a trading signal.

On 15-minute charts, buy when price hits 20 pips over the 200 SMA. Set stop loss 30 pips under it. Adjust stops to fit your risk, but 30 pips skips normal index shakes.

Open a buy when stock price hits the 100 simple MA. Make sure it's close to the 200 SMA, within 20 pips.

Downtrend/Bearish Market

To produce sell (short) signals using the 20-pip moving average method, we will also apply the 1-hour chart and the 15-minute chart time frames.

On the 1-hour chart, price sits below 100 and 200 SMA. Switch to 15-minute for the signal.

On a 15-minute stock chart, if the price drops to 20 pips below the 200 SMA, we initiate a sell indices trade and set a stop-loss order 30 pips above the 200 simple MA.
