1. Trend-Following Strategy
- Objective: Capture profits by trading with the direction of the trend.
- Tools: Moving Averages, MACD, ADX.
- Buy Signal: Shorter-term MA crosses above longer-term MA (bullish crossover).
- Sell Signal: Shorter-term MA crosses below longer-term MA (bearish crossover).
- Example: 50-day and 200-day Moving Averages — Golden Cross and Death Cross setups.
2. Range-Bound (Mean Reversion) Strategy
- Objective: Profit within sideways markets by buying near support and selling near resistance.
- Tools: Bollinger Bands, RSI, support and resistance levels.
- Buy Signal: Price near support or lower Bollinger Band.
- Sell Signal: Price near resistance or upper Bollinger Band.
- Example: Place stop-loss just beyond range boundaries to avoid breakout losses.
3. Reversal Strategy
- Objective: Capture profits from major trend reversals.
- Tools: Candlestick patterns, divergence indicators, Fibonacci levels.
- Buy Signal: Bullish reversal pattern (e.g., hammer) with bullish divergence.
- Sell Signal: Bearish reversal pattern (e.g., shooting star) with bearish divergence.
- Example: Place stop-loss below the bullish pattern low or above the bearish pattern high.
