Learn Silver Stochastic Strategy
This learn silver trading tutorial will talk about how to come up with a silver trading strategy that is based on the stochastic indicator. This stochastic strategy will be used by xagusd traders to trade trending silver markets. This silver strategy is simple to trade with & simple to follow. Using the stochastic oscillator indicators traders can use this indicator to come up with a trading strategy that will be used to identify silver trends.
XAGUSD Trend
There are various methods used to figure out and identify market trends.
·An upward trend is when the xagusd trading market is moving in an upward general direction and the xagusd trading price keeps making higher highs & higher lows.
·A downward trend is when the xagusd trading market is moving in a downwards general direction and the xagusd price keeps making lower lows and lower highs.
This is the first thing to look for when determining the silver trend, a trader can then use another method to confirm the silver trend. For example a trader may use a silver trend line & if the silver trend line direction is up the silver trend is then upward but if the silver trend line direction is down then the silver trend is downwards.
A trader can also use the 200 day moving average to determine the silver trend. If the xagusd trading price is above the 200 day moving average then the silver trend is considered as an upward bullish trend. If the xagusd trading price is below the 200 day moving average then the silver trend is considered as a downward bearish trend.
Stochastic Trading Strategy
After determining the silver trend the trader will then use the stochastic indicator to ascertain where to open a buy or a sell silver trade. For this strategy a trader will use the overbought & oversold levels to determine when to open trades. Oversold level is the 20 mark on the stochastic & the overbought level is the 80 mark on the stochastic oscillator.
Upward XAGUSD Trading Trend - in an upward silver trend the trader will wait for stochastic indicator to pull back and move downwards up to the oversold levels. This will mean that there is a short term market retracement and a trader will wait for the best opportunity to buy after this pullback. Once the stochastic oscillator gets to the oversold level it will not stay there for long because the silver trend is upwards and this will only be a temporary xagusd trading price pullback.
A trader will open a buy silver trade once the stochastic oscillator leaves the oversold level & starts heading upward.
Downward Silver Trading Trend - in a downward silver trend the trader will wait for stochastic indicator to retrace upwards and move upward up to the overbought levels. This will mean that there is a short term market retracement and a trader will wait for the best opportunity to sell after this upward retracement. Once the stochastic oscillator gets to the overbought level it will not stay there for long because the silver trend is downwards and this will only be a temporary xagusd trading price retracement.
A trader will open a sell silver trade once the stochastic oscillator leaves the overbought level & starts moving downward.
A trader can use this strategy to find the best place where to open a trade after a xagusd trading price retracement. This will increase the chances of the trader becoming more profitable because the trades will be opened at the best point - that is after a xagusd trading price retracement. This will increase the risk reward ratio of the trades as the chances of the trades retracing further after these points are minimized because the xagusd price is already oversold in an upward trending market or overbought in a downward trending market.
A trader should then set their stop-loss orders a few pips below where they opened a buy silver trade or a few pips above where they opened a sell silver trade. Trader will then determine where to take profits based on a favorable risk reward ratio, or they can set the take profit at a specified number of pips based on the rules of their silver trading plan.
