If you are trading on the Pocket Option platform and looking for a reliable strategy to safely and effectively grow a small deposit, this guide is for you. In this article, we present a simple yet powerful trading approach using popular technical indicators, with signal confirmation provided by the vfxAlert service.

What You Need to Start

To trade using this strategy, you will need:

• A trading account on Pocket Option
  
  

• Indicators: SMA (3), EMA (8), TMA (10), RSI (14)
  
  

• The vfxAlert signal service (Promo code for discount: binarystrategy)
  
  

Setting Up the Indicators

Before trading, apply the following indicators to your chart:

• SMA (3) and EMA (8) - These help determine short-term trends.
  These are trend indicators used to identify entry points. The strategy is not intended for flat or low-volatility markets. We only trade when the price range is at least 15-25 points.
  
  

• TMA (10) - A smoothed version of Bollinger Bands that displays the mid-term trend.
  This indicator is based on double-smoothed moving averages, making it less sensitive to short-term fluctuations. It allows you to clearly see the trend direction and potential reversals.
  
  

• RSI (14) - An oscillator that shows overbought levels (>70), oversold levels (<30), and includes a 50-level threshold.
  Trend indicators must always be confirmed by at least one oscillator. RSI helps determine when buyers can no longer push the price higher or when sellers are exhausted, offering a reliable confirmation of potential reversals.
  
  

Note: RSI acts as a filter. It confirms the strength of the signals generated by trend indicators and shows whether there is enough momentum in the market to support a move.

Trade Entry Rules

Sell Trade Conditions:

• The SMA is positioned below both TMA and EMA
  
  

• RSI is below 50 or in the oversold zone
  
  

• vfxAlert confirms a SELL signal
  

  
  

Buy Trade Conditions:

• The SMA crosses above the TMA and EMA from below
  
  

• RSI is above 50 or in the overbought zone
  
  

• vfxAlert confirms a BUY signal
  

  
  

Why This Strategy Works

This strategy combines trend indicators with an oscillator, providing clear entry signals and helping to avoid false breakouts. Using vfxAlert as an additional confirmation tool reduces risk and enhances decision-making confidence.

Trade Example

In the video, we opened three trades following the strategy strictly. All of them closed in profit, demonstrating the effectiveness of the approach. The method does not rely on martingale or "magic" indicators — only on logic and strict entry conditions.

Recommendations for Effective Trading Using This Strategy

Although the strategy appears simple and accessible, especially for beginners, there are several important aspects to consider for consistent results. Below are key guidelines to improve performance:

1. RSI Behavior in Trending Markets

During strong directional moves, RSI can remain in the overbought or oversold zones for extended periods or fluctuate near the 50 level without crossing it. Meanwhile, the moving averages may generate confident entry signals.
Whether to act on such signals depends on your experience. Beginners are advised to wait for full alignment of all indicators. This increases the probability of successful trades (up to 70–75%) and reduces emotional stress.

2. News-Based Filtering

One common mistake is entering trades during the release of major economic news. These periods are characterized by increased volatility and unpredictable price behavior, often invalidating technical signals.
It is recommended to avoid trading 30 minutes before and 30 minutes after important announcements. Cautious traders may also consider closing open positions ahead of time.
Key events can be tracked using the economic calendar available in most trading platforms.

3. Multi-Timeframe Analysis

Do not rely solely on a single timeframe. Performing analysis on M1, M5, and M15 simultaneously can greatly improve trade accuracy.
For example:

• A reversal pattern or divergence may appear on M5-M15
  
  

• An entry confirmation may follow on M1 along with a vfxAlert signal
  
  

This approach enables early entries, often at the beginning of a new trend.

4. Risk Management and Discipline

As with any trading system, consistent results are only achievable when proper money management rules are followed.
Avoid risking more than 2-3% of your deposit per trade and refrain from doubling positions unless confirmed by your setup.

By following these principles, this strategy becomes not just a basic entry model but a structured, well-rounded trading system with a high level of reliability.
