Buy example
First, the 50 EMA is above the 100 EMA and this gave the signal to look for long entries only. The price retraced back to the 100 EMA and the Stochastic Oscillator crossed above the 20 level from below, which gave us the actual entry trigger.
A long trade was opened at the close of the signal candle, where all the conditions above were met along the horizontal line “B” at 1.29333.
Immediately after the long position was opened, a Stop Loss of 6 pips was set at 1.29273. That is exactly 2 pips below the last swing low point (horizontal line “C”). Then, a Take Profit Target of 12 pips above the entry was set at 1.29453 (horizontal line “D”).
As you can see, the Profit Target was hit 4 minutes later.

Sell Example
Firstly, the 50 EMA was below the 100 EMA and this tells us to look for short entries
only. The price retraced back to the area between the 50 EMA and the 100 EMA and
the actual short entry signal was given by the Stochastic Oscillator that crossed below
the 80 level from above.
Immediately, a short trade was placed at the close of the signal candle, where all the
conditions above were met along the horizontal line “B” at 1.02397.
Then, a Stop Loss of 5pips was set at 1.02445, and that’s exactly 3 pips above the last
swing high point (horizontal line “C”).
Then, a Take Profit of 12 pips below the entry was set at 1.02277 (horizontal line “D”).
The profit target was hit 9 minutes later.
