Entry Rules:
Spread-betting long:
The Parabolic SAR will give you the direction. Therefore you wait for the Parabolic SAR to be below the price. When you see the candle stick bar close above the moving average and The MACD histogram is above the 0 line, this is an indication to spread bet long. You could be spread betting in the evening this trading strategy as the GBPUSD gives you enough movement also in the evening

Going short is the opposite, wait for the Parabolic SAR to be above the price. When you see the candle stick bar close below the moving average and The MACD histogram is below the 0 line, this is an indication to spread bet long. You could be spread betting in the evening this trading strategy as the GBPUSD gives you enough movement also in the evening
Exit Rules:
stop loss: 12 point
target: 3 to 5 ticks target
This is a spread betting scalping strategy therefore the following money management rules apply. Use a 12 point stop loss and try scalp the market for 3 to 5 ticks target. how to determine if using 3 or 5 ticks? well if the moving average is sloping or not this will indicate if the pair is trending. in a trending market you could take more points out of the market in a quiet sideways market just look for 5 points.
