Open a chart with a timeframe of H1 or H4. Apply the EMA indicator with settings (8, 0, close) and the SMA indicator twice: one with settings (21, 0, high) and the other with settings (21, 0, low). Add the ADX indicator with a period of 14 and set the level to 15.

For a BUY trade, wait for EMA (8) to cross the SMA (21, high) from below to above and for the price to close above the SMA. Ensure the ADX is above 15 and rising, and the (+DI) crosses the (-DI) from below to above. Enter the trade at the opening of the next bar and set the Stop Loss 5-15 points below the SMA (21, high). Use a trailing Stop Loss with the same step.

For a SELL trade, wait for EMA (8) to cross the SMA (21, low) from above to below and for the price to close below the SMA. Ensure the ADX is above 15 and rising, and the (-DI) crosses the (+DI) from below to above. Enter the trade at the opening of the next bar and set the Stop Loss 5-15 points above the SMA (21, low). Exit trades based on the specified conditions.
