A Beginner-Friendly Strategy with an Easy Method
This walkthrough covers a three-indicator setup for short-term trading on the Olymp Trade platform using the UltimateFXTools template — a rule-based approach built around trend, momentum, and a signal filter. Below you will find what each indicator does, the entry rules, and the risk management that matters far more than any single signal.
Is This Really a "Secret" Strategy?
No — and it is worth being plain about that. The three tools are ordinary, publicly documented indicators: a trend filter, the Stochastic Oscillator, and a signal-arrow indicator. There is nothing hidden or proprietary about them. Calling any indicator combination "secret" is marketing language, not a real edge. What helps is applying consistent rules, waiting for confirmation, and managing risk on every trade. Treat "secret" as a headline, not a promise.
The Three Indicators and What Each Does
- Ultimate Trend — a trend filter that colours the market bias (for example a red line for downside pressure), keeping you on the side of the prevailing move. See our Ultimate Trend indicator guide for details.
- Stochastic Oscillator — a standard momentum tool that flags overbought and oversold zones. When it sits at the bottom of its range, price may be stretched to the downside; at the top, stretched to the upside.
- Ultimate Binary Signal — a signal-arrow indicator that marks a potential entry point on the chart. It is a prompt to check your other conditions, not an instruction to trade blindly.
The idea is confluence: no single indicator decides a trade. The trend sets direction, the oscillator times the pullback, and the arrow flags the moment — but only when all three agree.

Trading Strategy Overview
Signal Confirmation Process
Trading Alert System
When the system alerts a potential trade (e.g., an arrow appears on GBP/AUD chart), check the signal immediately.Confirm with Indicators
- Stochastic Oscillator should be at the bottom level indicating oversold conditions.
- The Ultimate Trend indicator must show a maximum support level with a red colored line.
Candle Duration
Confirm a 5-second Heiken Ashi candle before entering to help filter out false signals.Trade Duration
A 1-minute expiry suits this setup. Test any timeframe on a demo account first — results vary by pair and market conditions, and no expiry works everywhere.
Managing Trades
- Initial Trade: Enter once confirmed by alerts and indicator positions.
- No Recovery Trades (Avoid the Martingale Method): Do not place recovery trades after a losing trade - each trade is independent, so raising your stake never improves the next outcome and a normal losing run empties the account; use fixed-fractional staking and a hard per-session loss cap instead.
- Risk Management: Use no more than 1% of your total balance per trade to protect your capital through inevitable losing runs.
- Session Discipline: Set a fixed stop for the day — a number of losing trades or a percentage of balance — and walk away when you reach it. Chasing a target after a bad run is how accounts get emptied.
Realistic Expectations
Short-term trading on the Olymp Trade platform is fast and unforgiving. Even a well-followed setup produces losing trades — sometimes several in a row — and no indicator combination changes that. The goal is not to win every trade but to follow your rules consistently and let results play out over a large sample. Practise on a demo account, keep your stake small, and always wait for full confirmation before entering. You can get the full template and every indicator referenced here with lifetime access on our pricing page for a one-time $39. For a slower-paced variation, see our Olymp Trade 1-minute strategy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this strategy really secret, and does it always win?
No on both counts. They are standard, publicly available indicators with nothing hidden about them, and no setup wins every trade — losing runs are normal in short-term trading. The value is in following clear rules and managing risk, not in a secret formula.
Should I use martingale to recover a losing trade?
No. Do not double your stake after a loss. Each trade is independent, so raising your stake never improves the next outcome, and an ordinary losing streak can wipe out your balance far faster than it can rebuild it. Keep a fixed, small stake and a hard per-session loss cap instead.
Which timeframe and pairs work best?
The setup targets short expiries with a 1-minute trade duration on liquid pairs. There is no single "best" combination — spreads, volatility, and news all shift the picture. Test on a demo account and keep your pairs and hours consistent so you can judge the method fairly.
