I just realized that many people are asking about how to combine EMA 34 and EMA 89 in trading. Actually, this method is quite simple but effective if applied correctly.
First, it’s important to understand that EMA 34 is used to identify short-term trends, while EMA 89 is a long-term indicator. When EMA 34 is above EMA 89, the market is trending upward, so you should look for buying opportunities. Conversely, if EMA 34 is below EMA 89, the trend is downward, and you should consider selling.
But just looking at EMA 34 and EMA 89 isn’t enough. The key is to wait for the price to return close to one of these lines, then watch for the formation of a Price Action pattern. I often look for Pin Bars or Inside Bars in these areas. When a candlestick pattern confirms, that’s the signal to enter a trade.
For example: Suppose you’re trading EUR/USD on the H4 timeframe. EMA 34 is above EMA 89, clearly indicating an uptrend. The price pulls back to touch EMA 34 and forms a bullish Pin Bar. At that point, I enter a buy order as soon as the candle closes. Place the Stop Loss below the Pin Bar’s low, and set Take Profit at a 1:3 risk-reward ratio or higher.
A few things to note: First, don’t trade when the market is sideways, meaning EMA 34 and EMA 89 are flat and there’s no clear direction. Second, it’s better to trade on higher timeframes like H4 or D1 to avoid noise. Third, always combine EMA 34 and EMA 89 with Price Action; don’t rely on just one factor.
I’ve been using this combination for quite a while. Its strength is that it helps clearly identify the trend, find safe entry points, and manage risk well. But the main thing is to practice, especially developing the skill to recognize candlestick patterns and patiently wait for clear signals. Rushing is the biggest enemy in trading.
If you want to master EMA 34, EMA 89, and Price Action, start by reviewing past charts, find setups that occurred, and analyze why they succeeded or failed. Then practice on a demo account before trading live. Wishing you success!
