1. Introduction

Thank you for purchasing my updated trendFX system manual which is now re-named
‘Master-The-Reversal’

The strategies contained in this manual allow you to trade with the trend with virtually any
chart you enjoy trading. If you are new to trading, I will show my own personal favourite
charts for you to start with.

Briefly, the set-ups in this manual will show you how to join in on the trend safely, with
minimal risk and if you are unsure of how to spot a trend, the set-ups will do that for you
automatically.

The original trendFX trading system contained four trading strategies/patterns and I have
been using the set-ups in my own trading for the last 7-years with very good results and this
manual is actually the first update since I first designed the strategies in 2009 . It has been
re-named ‘Master-The-Trend’ to fit into the current series of trading system from Markets
Mastered, more information on that subject at the end of this manual but the idea is to cover
a wide range of trading eventualities so there is the ‘Master-The-Reversal’ system and
‘Master-The-Triangle’ set-up as well. More will be added over the next year so giving you the
choice of trading styles. z

I designed the original system in 2008 and together with three friends who were also full-time
traders we tested the strategies across a wide variety of instruments including equity indices,
commodities and forex pairs before launching it to selected Markets Mastered customers and
traders in 2009 and then via my website to a wider audience in 2010.

This manual is going to run you through these very profitable trading strategies step by step
so that your demo trading period will be successful so instilling you with confidence that will
enable you to jump up to ‘real-money’ trading without the usual pitfalls that most new
traders.

All the charts here and the actual trading strategies use standard candlesticks – as opposed
to line or bar charts.

You will need to use Metatrader MT4/MT5 trading platform as I am supplying my own MT4
indicator to use with the set-ups – the MMOSc oscillator – which is included in the package
you have purchased.

2. Important Message

There is NO padding or superfluous content in this trading system manual, EVERY SINGLE
WORD is there for a reason as they are important.

Please do not skip over any paragraphs or chapters as you need to read everything (in order)
contained in this eBook so that you can learn my set-ups thoroughly and then enjoy the
success that comes with them.

Trading the markets is NOT get-rich-quick scheme, so please treat it as if you were learning
any other profession.

If you were studying to be an accountant or dentist for example, you would spend many years
at University and then on-the-job training, and learning to trade is almost as time consuming
but offers greater returns when you get it right.

The good news however is that unlike the more traditional professions, you can learn to trade
part-time while keeping your day-job so you are able to still earn a normal salary and educate
yourself about the markets meaning this opportunity is risk-free.

But this does not mean that you can just pick it up and put it down whenever you feel like it
– you need to have a definite plan of action, and part of my educational service to you is to
give you some guidelines as to how you should go about it.

Please follow this manual in the same order as I have written it, and complete each chapter
before moving onto the next one.

As a guide, you should spend this first session of reading by meticulously going through the
manual at least 3 times so that you can pick-up the basics of the strategies and make sure you
understand EVERYTHING written, so your education is gaining a thorough grounding.

If there are any points you do not fully understand after reading through at least twice, please
contact me.

Remember, potentially you could be trading for another 30 or 40 (or even 50) years, so a few
extra days spent reading this in a methodical manner is well worth it.

Some of my more successful customers have confirmed that to learn this system you need to
spend your 1st three weeks reading/practising for around 3 hrs per evening plus around 5 to
6 hours each weekend. This is a lot less than you would study for a degree at university but
the rewards at the end are potentially greater.

If you are planning to print this PDF document, you can make important notes in the margins
of this manual, or if you are doing as most do and just reading it from your computer or

© Markets Mastered 2016 5


Kindle/Tablet, just make your own notes by using the Adobe Reader functions by clicking on
the “Comment” button at the top right of this document and either add text or place ‘sticky-
notes’ on the page.

Before we move on I would like to mention the computer screenshots in this manual. To be
able to see all the important information contained within them it is a good idea to adjust the
magnification of this document to around 150%, which you can do at the top of your screen
to the left of the middle – see below:

3. Chart Set-Up

As I mentioned earlier, you will be using standard candlestick charts and you will need a
MetaTrader MT4 or MT5 chart platform as part of the strategy will be using a special MT4
indicator of mine, the MMOSc which you’ve probably noticed is included in the package you
have just downloaded.

The set-up is uncomplicated and easy to configure on the charting platform.

To begin with, if you do not already work with MetaTrader charts, you will need to download
the platform.

If you are new to trading, you must start with a demo trading account and there are many
companies that will provide a demo trading MetaTrader platform for you to use and practice
the basics of trading.

I use the MetaTrader MT4 chart from GKFX and you can open a demo account with this
company by filling out the form ON THIS PAGE. They are a ‘global’ broker so you should be
able to open a demo account with them wherever you live.

Once you have completed the process, they will then email you a link to download the
MetaTrader software

You may already use a MT4 provider in which case you can continue with that broker or do
an internet search.

You will then be ready to open the charts and get going.

If you have not used the MT4 platform before, I would suggest you put aside a couple of hours
to familiarise yourself with the software and if you would like to more about all the features,
there are plenty of instructional videos on You Tube.

© Markets Mastered 2016 7


This will be your first view of the MT4 charts once you have downloaded the software:

Once you have this chart on your screen, click on the ‘Candlestick’ icon at the top of the screen
and then press ‘F8’ on your keyboard – see chart below.

© Markets Mastered 2016 8


This will bring up the ‘Chart Properties’ window where you can customise your chart view or
copy my settings below for identical charts to the ones in this manual.

Your chart should now look like the one below

© Markets Mastered 2016 9


Click on the magnification button at the top of the screen to adjust the candlestick size, so
your chart is similar to the one below.

Now press Ctrl + M on your keyboard to bring up the list of available charts that you are able
to trade.

© Markets Mastered 2016 10


To ensure you have a complete list of what is available, right click anywhere on the ‘Market
Watch’ list and select ‘Show All’

To bring up a chart on your screen, highlight it, right click on it and select ‘Chart Window’

Further on in this manual I will give you a guide as to what instruments are best to trade with
these strategies.

Now you have your basic chart set-up we will look at candlesticks.

If you have some of my other trading systems, you will be familiar with the candle pattern
you’ll be watching for in all three of the strategies within this manual.

Although all the trading set-ups/patterns are ‘with the trend’ you will be using a price reversal
candlestick which sounds wrong but I will explain soon.

The candlestick you will be using is the ‘Long-Shadow’ candlestick and no others, this is one
of the main differences from the original trendfx system.

Below are some examples of this type of candle pattern.

Ideally, the shadow (or wick) should be at least twice the size of the candle body.

Below is a learning resource that I send out to new students who are learning any of my
systems and it shows various types of long shadow candles.

It also shows which ones to use for bearish reversal and which for bullish reversals.

© Markets Mastered 2016 11


If you are new to trading with this type of candle you could perhaps spend the next few
minutes scrolling through your charts and notice how many times these types of candlestick
pattern occur at key price reversal points.

There are a great deal more candle reversal patterns that most traders use and they can all
be found in Steve Nison’s famous Candlestick Charting book but I have found over the last 25
years that the ‘long wick’ candle pattern works the best over an extended period of time.

If you do not have a copy of Nison’s book and you would like one for reference, please click
on THIS LINK to download a free eBook copy.

The chart below shows some example of long shadow candles.

© Markets Mastered 2016 12


Now I will explain the rest of the chart set-up so you are then ready to trade the three Master-
The-Trend strategies.

The system uses 3 moving averages and two indicators – the well-known MACD and my
unique oscillator, the MMOSc which is included in the downloads you have received.

List of indicators:

Moving Averages 10EMA 33EMA 66MA

MACD 5,19,1

MMOSc Standard setting

To add the moving averages to your chart click on ‘Insert’ at the top of your chart screen and
then ‘Indicators’ followed by ‘Trend’. Click on ‘Moving Averages’ and you can then customise
your MA’s

See chart below.

© Markets Mastered 2016 13


Once you click on the ‘Moving Averages’ button, the following window will appear:

© Markets Mastered 2016 14


Change the ‘period’ to 10 and ensure MA method is ‘Exponential’. Repeat this for the other
two moving averages ensuring that the 33EMA is also ‘Exponential’ and the 66MA is just
‘Simple’.

The 10EMA and 33EMA are used directly in two of the strategies and the 66MA is used to
help you see price trends. If the price is above the 66MA the price is in a bullish trend and if
it is below it is a bearish trend.

Your chart should look like the one below:

To add the MACD to your chart, click on Insert > Indicators > Oscillators > MACD.

This window will appear:

© Markets Mastered 2016 15


Copy my settings in ‘Parameters’ as above.

If you copy my ‘Colours’ (shown below) your MACD will be similar to the charts in this manual.

Your chart will now look like the one below:

The last part of the chart is my unique MMOSc indicator which you will already have as part
of your downloads. Instructions to install the indicator onto your MT4 chart:

tor.pdf .

If you experience any issues while installing the MMOSc indicator below are further
instructions:

MT4_MT5.pdf

Once the indicator is on your chart, you should have a set-up exactly like the one below:

This is the basic chart you will be working from whichever trendfx set-up you are using.

4. Timeframes

Over the last 7 years that I have traded this set of strategies I have favoured the lower
timeframes so I generally use the system on 15min/30min charts. There is no other reason
except it suits my way of trading as I enjoy ‘day-trading’ and prefer to close off my trades at
the end of a daily session.

My trades tend to last between an hour and 5 hours but you can trade within the parameters
set out below.

Equity markets include charts such as the S&P-500, FTSE-100 and DAX-30 indices.

Commodities that I trade include Gold, Silver and Crude Oil. Forex is self-explanatory and
includes all FX pairs.

I have seen over the years that trading Forex on charts less than 1-hour charts is not profitable
due to the ‘noise’ on lower timeframes.

5. Spotting a Trend

As you are aware, the main point of all of the strategies in this manual is to trade safely with
the trend, and I am going to show you how to spot the start of one, and also when it appears
to be running out of steam.

Having said that, this knowledge is not imperative as the strategies themselves will alert you
to the trend anyway but seeing a trend on any chart will help your trading overall.

Firstly, see the chart below. I have marked the main constituents of a trend – i.e.: when prices
are making Higher Highs (HH) and Higher Lows (HL) you can be fairly certain that the price
(candlesticks) are in an up-trend. Conversely, if price is making Lower Lows (LL) and Lower
Highs (LH) you can deduce from that you are probably in a down-trend. Here it is shown
graphically on the chart below.

The first part of my chart (above) shows the price in a decline (down-trend) and as long as
there are continuous LH‘s and LL’s you can safely assume the trend is intact.

Every time the level is broken past a LL or a HH you know that the trend is ok at that moment.

© Markets Mastered 2016 19


Around the middle of the charts the price fails to make another Lower Low, and instead we
have the first Higher Low (HL in Blue)

You will not be able to draw this first HL in at the exact time as it appears as you need to
confirm there is not going to be another Lower Low a few candles along.

Once price has broken through the level I have marked with a small red A, we can start to
believe that price MAY have changed direction. Once you get better at spotting trends, this
will all become second nature to you.

One of the ways of seeing if the trend is slowing down is to keep an eye on the price action as
shown in the chart below:

There are a few other ways of judging the end of a trend which I will expand upon in the
Master-The-Trend-EXPERT manual.

6. Divergence

This system is made up of three separate strategies – Strategy-A, Strategy-B and Strategy-C
and the first strategy has divergence as part of the set-up. In the following pages I will give
you a brief outline of how it works and then go into greater detail in the Strategy-A chapter.

If you already trade my trendfx system manual or alternatively my Trade With A Day Job will
be accustomed with the concept of oscillator divergence and in which case you can skip over
this chapter and move straight to Chapter 7.

If you are already familiar with divergence you will know there are two types, ‘regular’ and
‘hidden’ but it just hidden divergence that is needed for Strategy-A.

The following illustrations show both bullish and bearish hidden divergence. Firstly you can
see divergence that is suggesting price is going to go down. This is bearish hidden divergence.

And below there is hidden (bullish) divergence that suggests price is going to rise:

© Markets Mastered 2016 21


To help you understand how this works on a ‘real’ chart, you can substitute the candles for a
simple line chart as I have done with the chart below.

It illustrates some hidden (bearish) divergence situations:

Price is in a down (bearish) trend and produces lower highs (LH) but you can see higher highs
(HH) on the oscillator, in this case the MACD. Cas I will show you in a later chapter, you can
also see hidden divergence with the MMOSc indicator.

The chart below shows two examples of bullish hidden divergence, suggesting that the price
is going to continue upwards. As with any potential signal for direction, it not 100% accurate
but when you combine it with other ‘filters’ it then becomes more precise.

© Markets Mastered 2016 22


Quite often you will see both bullish and bearish divergence opportunities on one screen (see
below) This time using the MMOSc indicator.

© Markets Mastered 2016 23


7. Strategy-A

There are three parts to this first set-up including two leading indicators and part of the chart
that I have designated the T.E.A. (Trade Entry Area)

Firstly the indicators, there are two types: leading and lagging.

A leading indicator gives a signal before the new trend or reversal occurs.

A lagging indicator gives a signal after the trend has started and basically informs you that
the price action has already started and you may have missed an entry opportunity.

So it is obviously advantageous to use leading indicators when trading as you have a better
chance of getting in on the moves as they occur rather than later when safe entry may not
possible.

The aforementioned hidden divergence is a leading indicator as well as candlestick reversal


patterns and in this first strategy I will be using both plus the T.E.A.

The T.E.A. is an area on the chart where you will be looking to enter a trade once you have
seen a candlestick reversal pattern and hidden divergence. That is the three parts to the set-
up.

The charts below explains the T.E.A.

The T.E.A. is the area between the 10 EMA and the 33EMA

© Markets Mastered 2016 24


The T.E.A. in a bullish trend (above chart)

The T.E.A. as the price is declining (above chart)

The chart below shows the T.E.A. in a bullish trend firstly, then a bearish one and finally
another bullish trend.

© Markets Mastered 2016 25


Once you have identified the T.E.A. you are then looking for the recommended candlestick
reversal pattern (long shadow candle) plus some hidden divergence – that is all you need for
a valid trade.

The charts below will give you some examples and once you have analysed them and are clear
on the concept you can spend the next hour or so looking through your own charts to find
similar opportunities.

Firstly, identify thaT price is in a trend – ensure it is above or below the 66MA – and then
make sure that it is currently in the T.E.A.

The chart below has both indicators on plus all the moving averages. We are looking for a long
shadow candlestick in the T.E.A.

© Markets Mastered 2016 26


Marked on the chart below is a long shadow candlestick within the T.E.A.

Now see if there is any hidden divergence.

© Markets Mastered 2016 27


There is hidden divergence between the price and the MMOSc.

You only need divergence on one of the indicators although having it both usually makes for
a more reliable signal.

The candlestick where the divergence starts DOES NOT have to be in the T.E.A.

Once the long shadow candle has completed and the next candle has started to form, you just
need the price to go one pip higher than the high of the long shadow candle to trigger a trade.

The series of illustrations below show this graphically. Firstly you have a long shadow candle
which is just about to finish. I have marked the entry level + stop loss level.

© Markets Mastered 2016 28


Now the next candle has begun to form and you are waiting to see if the price rises above the
entry level.

Below you can see the price has risen sufficiently to trigger a trade.

Below you can see the price has advanced well over the next few candles.

Once you are in the trade, you then just need stop loss and target levels defined (below)

© Markets Mastered 2016 29


I will run through trade targets in a later chapter but to begin with, go for a 1:1 risk/reward
ratio. So if your stop loss is 15 pips including spread, your target is 15 pips as well.

Below are some examples of Strategy-A trade set-ups.

Some have divergence lines on both the MACD and MMOSc and some only have it on one. As
long as there is at least one divergence line the trade set-up is valid.

There are a couple of other rules to keep in mind and I will illustrate them in the charts below.

© Markets Mastered 2016 30


First additional rule to remember is that the divergence line needs to be at least SEVEN
CANDLES in length. The one above is well above that at 16 candles.

The one below is 14 candles long.

© Markets Mastered 2016 31


As long as you have divergence on one of the indicators you have a valid set-up, the above
chart has divergence only on the MMOSc.

© Markets Mastered 2016 32


As I have shown below, the divergence line on the indicator MUST BEGIN AT A DEFINITE
POINT this is very important.

The chart below illustrates this rule again.

© Markets Mastered 2016 33


Those are all the rules you need to remember:

 Divergence at least 7-candles in length


 Divergence line to begin at definite point on indicator
 Trigger candle must be in the T.E.A.
 Only use hidden divergence NOT regular divergence.
 Use 1:1 risk reward to begin with.
 Divergence on at least one indicator.

Now some more examples:

The set-up works on short and long term timeframes equally as well and on Daily/Weekly
charts you have greater profit potential without the need for constant attention. Just check
your charts once or twice a day.

© Markets Mastered 2016 34


The above chart is a weekly timeframe, showing two successful trades.

Another two successful trades one afte the other on the daily timeframe.

© Markets Mastered 2016 35


It would be good to now spend a few hours looking through your own charts and practice
spotting this type of set-up on a wide variety of charts.

The next chapter will be a run-through, candle-by-candle of a ‘long’ Strategy-A trade to help
you familiarize yourself with what you need to look for on your own chart.

© Markets Mastered 2016 36


8. Strategy-A Trade Candle-By-Candle

Below are a series of chart screenshots showing a Strategy-A trade as you will see it, one
candle at a time.

The first chart shows the U.S. S&P-500 15-minute chart, which is the lowest timeframe you
will be working from (forex charts minimum 1-hour)

The price has been in no particular trend (point A) but in the past few hours has started to
trend upwards (point B) where it has risen above the 66MA.

This should alert you to start paying attention.

The price is not yet in the T.E.A., it still has a small way to fall before that rule is satisfied but
you can see some didden divergence (see below)

© Markets Mastered 2016 37


The chart below shows the situation after two more candles have completed – the hidden
divergence is still present and now the price has touched the 10EMA so technically ok, I count
this as being in the T.E.A.

There is still one part missing though, there is no valid long shadow candlestick pattern.

© Markets Mastered 2016 38


Moving on one candle (chart below) you can see that we now also have a valid candlestick
pattern.

© Markets Mastered 2016 39


All criteria has now been satisfied, the price is within the T.E.A. (Trade Entry Area) and there
is also hidden divergence with the MMOSc although no with the MACD yet. There is also a
valid long shadow candlestick so all that is required now is for the price to rise one pip above
the high of the last candle on the chart.

Moving on a few minutes, the chart below shows the next candle is forming but not risen to
the trade trigger level yet (please adjust magnification to see detail)

Price has now risen sufficiently to trigger a trade, shown in closer detail below.

© Markets Mastered 2016 40


Chart below shows all the detail of the trade.

© Markets Mastered 2016 41


9. Strategy-B

The next trading set-up (Strategy-B) is brought across unchanged from the trendFX system
manual although there is some refinements which make it more reliable and profitable that I
outline in the Master-The-Trend PRO-EXPERT manual (details here)

The rules are exactly the same as trendFX strategy and I have repeated them below although
I have added some more upto date charts at the end of the chapter.

This strategy is a price action set-up pure and simple, as you do not have to use either
candlestick reversal patterns or oscillator divergence.

The chart set-up is simple, the main part of the chart you already have as your template can
stay the same – the candle/price part, and you can ignore the MACD and the MMOSc
indicators.

Do not, however, delete these as you need to be able to eventually be on the lookout for all
four strategies when you trading normally during your chosen hours in front of your computer
screen(s)

For clarity however, I am going to show you a series of screenshots without the Oscillators
present, but please keep yours on your charts.

What you will be using is just the Moving Averages, the exact settings as you have for the
previous two strategies – EMA 10, EMA 33 and to a lesser extent, the MA 66.

I have explained earlier how to spot a trend, but you are now going to use the MA’s to show
you that the price has just started a possible trend. I say ‘possible’ as nothing is 100% certain
in trading, but we do come pretty close with these patterns.

Below is the chart you will need for Strategy-B. I have taken the MACD and MMOSc off for
clarity.

© Markets Mastered 2016 42


For additional clarity you can also take the 66MA off your chart as well if you wish.

So we just have the two Moving Averages, and they will be the two lines that you must pay
attention to.

The first part of this set-up, you are looking for either the 33EMA to cross over and go above
the 10EMA (potential down trend) or the 10EMA to cross over and go above the 33EMA
(potential up move).

© Markets Mastered 2016 43


The chart below shows the 10EMA crossing over the 33EMA and going above it. As you can
see, it correctly forecasts a good trend although this will not happen in every case.

At the point marked A the two Moving Averages have crossed over, at the same time that the
candles have taken off in an upward direction.

I have seen a few systems that would take this as a sign to enter a trade, but you DO NEED to
ensure that the trend is going to continue.

Firstly, ensure you do not use a chart less than 15 minutes as mentioned previously.

The crossing of the two Moving Averages is the first part of this strategy which signifies the
possibility of a trend change or start of one but a confirmation is then needed so you can take
a reatively ‘safe’ trade.

You should then look for a minor (short-lived) slow down in momentum in the form of a small
retrace. It can be a full-blown retrace lasting 3, 4 or 5 candles, or it can be like the example
below, and just show in ONE candlestick.

See chart below.

© Markets Mastered 2016 44


As you can see, candle 1 is the first candle AFTER the crossover – it is important that the
retrace begins once the crossover has already occurred, NOT during the crossover. Candle 2
is a slight retracement downwards, as the high of candle 2 s slightly lower than the high of
candle 1.

This is all you need to confirm a trade is valid, and this example shows you what a ONE candle
retracement looks like.

The targets are the same as the previous strategy, in the initial months stick with 1:1
risk/reward

I will now show a few more charts showing trade set-ups and then explain the entry and stop
loss levels.

© Markets Mastered 2016 45


This example is on the Gold 4-hr chart. There is a moving average crossover at the arrow but
I will take off the 66MA to make it clearer for this example.

Here is the same chart without the 66MA

The price has started to retrace almost right on the M.A. crossover so in this case you will use
the next retrace (chart below)

© Markets Mastered 2016 46


The chart below shows the details of the above pattern with regard to entry and stop loss
levels.

So NO long wick candlestick or divergence, just a simple price action pattern.

© Markets Mastered 2016 47


Here are some further trade examples and I have changed the candles to Blck & White so the
moving average crossovers are more clear for you.

Firstly there is the M.A. crossover and once price has moved up or down in a potential trend
after that cross, you can then look for the first retrace where price is having a ‘rest’

The chart below shows that first price retrace.

© Markets Mastered 2016 48


Next chart shows the stop loss level:

And below is the ENTRY LEVEL

© Markets Mastered 2016 49


That is the complete strategy – it is that simple.

Below are some more examples and all cases the stop loss level is the RED line, entry level is
the BLUE line and the moving average crossover is circled in BLUE. The price retracing is
shown as R as shown on the chart below.

Chart below is the lowest timeframe you will be working with – the 15-min chart. This one os
the U.S. S&P-500.

© Markets Mastered 2016 50


Same instrument below but the 1-hour timeframe, good if you want a more relaxed type of
trading.

This is a froex chart on the popular 4-hour timeframe – quite volatile movements around the

As you have seen, this pattern works on all timeframes and you just need to choose what kind
of trading you would be comforatable with.

Spend some time in front of your chart and see how many times this pattern comes up.

Now the last set-up in the system – Strategy-C

10. Strategy- C

The final strategy of the Master-The-Trend system manual is carried over from the trendFX
manual and was strategy-4 but I have modified it slightly to make it more reliable in light of
experience over the past few years so there are new charts to examine as well.

This is another price action strategy that again needs just the Moving Averages already on
your chart.

If you look at a number of charts with the default settings, you will notice that in a trend, the
price tends to ‘Hug’ one or two of the Moving Averages.

It would seem as though these MA’s act as support and resistance lines and you can take
advantage of this, although it may take a few weeks to get the strategy exactly right.

As my smallest Moving Average (10EMA) will hug the price anyway, it is of no use to us in this
strategy, so I will take it off. This is how your chart should look like now:

The examples below are using the default Master-The-Trend moving averages of 33EMA and
66MA but you can alter this as I will explain further on.

The chart below will explain the basics of this strategy.

Once the price has touched and reversed from one of the moving averages you can then
watch for a fourth identical move. This needs to be a long shadow price reversal candle as
shown in the chart above (at the yellow arrow)

The entry rules are the same as strategy-A (entry one pip above the long shadow candle after
it has completed)

Here are some more examples.

As well as the default moving averages from this system, you should also use popular ones
that most traders use as price very often reverses at these levels.

These popular MA’s include the 20EMA, 50EMA, 100EMA and 200EMA.

If you trade my Long-Term-Trading system, you will be aware how important these moving
averages are on higher timeframe charts.

The charts below give you some examples:
