Olymp Trade trading rules with the EMA indicator

The most appropriate time to open an UP trade is when the price which is below the EMA goes up. If you use a Japanese candlestick chart, open a long trade when there is a green candle moving above the EMA line. Close the candlestick decisively firmly on this EMA line.

On the contrary, open a Down trade when the price from above falls down to this EMA line. A red candlestick falling down the EMA line shows a downward trend in the upcoming time.
