I just realized something quite interesting about how to combine EMA 34 and EMA 89 in real trading. Many new traders often only look at the price and forget the power of these moving averages.



Basically, it goes like this: EMA 34 helps you catch short-term trends, while EMA 89 is your long-term trend companion. When EMA 34 is above EMA 89, you're in a bullish market — at this point, only focus on buy orders. Conversely, when EMA 34 drops below EMA 89, that’s a bearish market signal — focus on sell orders.

But the important thing is you shouldn’t enter a trade immediately when these two lines cross. Waiting is key. When the price moves back near EMA 34 or EMA 89, look for Price Action patterns like Pin Bar or Inside Bar to confirm. I usually wait until the candlestick closes before deciding to enter.

Real-world example: EUR/USD pair, EMA 34 and EMA 89 are stacked in an upward direction, the price touches EMA 34 and a bullish Pin Bar appears. That’s when I’m ready to open a Buy order. Place the Stop Loss below the Pin Bar’s low, and set Take Profit at a 1:3 ratio to maximize profits.

One thing I’ve learned is never to trade when the market is sideways — at that time, EMA 34 and EMA 89 will be horizontal, and you’ll get stuck. Always prioritize larger timeframes like H4 or D1 because they significantly reduce noise. Combining EMA with Price Action is the formula to find high-quality entry points.

Actually, mastering this method isn’t difficult, just need patience to practice identifying trends, correctly spotting candlestick patterns, and waiting for clear signals. No rush, no FOMO — that’s how you reduce risk and increase your win rate.
