I just realized that combining the 34 and 89 EMA lines with price action is one of the simplest ways to trade with discipline. Instead of constantly looking at charts and clicking buy or sell buttons, this method helps me wait for truly clear signals.

My approach is quite straightforward. First, identify the main trend. If the 34 EMA is above the 89 EMA, the market is trending up, and I only look for buying opportunities. Conversely, when the 34 EMA is below the 89 EMA, the trend is down, and I should only sell. The nice thing is that the 34 EMA captures short-term fluctuations while the 89 EMA shows the long-term trend, so they work well together when combined.

The second part is finding entry points. I wait for the price to retrace near either the 34 or 89 EMA, then look for candlestick patterns like Pin Bar or Inside Bar. When these signals appear, I consider entering a trade. For example, in an uptrend, if the price touches the 34 EMA and a bullish Pin Bar forms, I see that as a good buying opportunity.

For stop loss and take profit, I usually place the stop loss below the low of the signal candle ( if it's a buy order ) or above the high ( if it's a sell order ). As for take profit, I follow R:R ratios like 1:2 or 1:3, or wait for the price to reach key resistance and support zones.

An important thing I’ve learned is not to trade when the market is sideways, as both the 34 and 89 EMAs will be flat and not give clear signals. I also prefer trading on higher timeframes like H4 or D1 to avoid too much noise from small fluctuations.

In practice, this method works well because it combines trend analysis with accurate confirmation from price action. I’ve tested it on several currency pairs and found that it significantly reduces risk. The key is patience—only enter trades when all conditions are met, avoiding impulsive or overly frequent trading. If you want to try it, start by practicing trend identification first, then learn different candlestick patterns in detail.
