- MA Period : default 20, which is my favorite for all timeframes, I believe in the 20 ema as a proof for trend-direction (in combination with a higher timeframe)
- MA Shift : 0
- MA Mode : default exponential, is my favorite MA-Mode
- MA Price middle : Close price for the middle-line
- MA Price high : High price (high / low for a channel, close for all 3 lines, means a continuous line)

Rules I , as shown in screenshots, Trading the H1-Chart:
- H1 :
- 1. Trend-MA-Candles: colored Trend MA=120
- 2. Trend-MA-Candles: default
- short :
- red Candle closed
- Close needs to be below 20ema/low (green line)
- Entry a few pips below that Candle
- if the Candle is obvious very long, be careful, it could be wise to wait for an Entry closer to the MA
- if the 120ema is below that Entry-Candle / far away, it could just be a correction and not a trend-change
- the longer the trend runs, the more likely is a correction or a trend-change
- Risk => a few pip above the Entry-Candle
- Target => previous support and resistance levels
- long :
- green Candle closed
- Close needs to be above 20ema/high (red line)
- Entry a few pips above that Candle
- if the Candle is obvious very long, be careful, it could be wise to wait for an Entry closer to the MA
- if the 120ema is above that Entry-Candle / far away, it could just be a correction and not a trend-change
- the longer the trend runs, the more likely is a correction or a trend-change
- Risk => a few pips below the Entry-Candle

Recommendations
- I don't trade after over-size-candles
- I only go for a clear trend on the higher time-frame
- I stay out before high-impact news hit the market
- Always on my mind, major Support and Resistance
- No trade without money-management, please calculate your risk, trade smart
- There is no guarantee of success as in any trading business / in my examples above
