This page walks through a simple triple-EMA setup that people share for Olymp Trade OTC charts, and it explains honestly why the popular "new trick" label is just marketing. There is no move that beats the platform - only a rule set that helps you stay disciplined.
Comprehensive Trading Strategy for the OTC Market - Olymp Trade
The setup runs on the OTC market using the Olymp Trade platform, on a one-minute chart, and it reads three exponential moving averages (EMAs) to frame direction. It is a straightforward, readable method - not a hidden loophole.
What OTC trading actually is
OTC ("over the counter") instruments are synthetic price feeds that the trading platform itself generates, most visibly on weekends when the real currency market is closed. Because the platform runs the feed, the odds are set by the house, exactly like any short-duration binary product. Understanding this is the whole point: no chart pattern gives you an edge over the operator of the feed. Any indicator setup, including this one, only helps you make consistent, rule-based decisions - it does not change who controls the price.
What the setup actually is
The method uses three EMAs with periods of 10, 24, and 37. Reading how the lines stack and separate can suggest the current short-term trend and where momentum may be fading. These are just moving averages plotted on a one-minute chart - nothing proprietary, and nothing that predicts the future.
- Line order: when the fast EMA (10) sits above the 24 and 37, the recent bias is up; when it sits below both, the bias is down.
- Separation: lines fanned far apart hint that a move is stretched and may be closer to a pause or pullback than a fresh start.
- Squeeze and cross: when the three lines pinch together and cross, momentum is shifting - but a cross is a lagging signal, not a promise of the next candle.
Chart, timeframe and entry rules
Keep it mechanical so you are not reacting to noise:
- Chart: one-minute OTC asset with the three EMAs (10, 24, 37) applied.
- Direction: only consider entries in the direction the EMA order already shows - do not fight the stack.
- Trigger: wait for price to pull back toward the lines and then resume with the trend, rather than chasing a candle that has already run.
- Skip: when the lines are tangled and flat, there is no readable trend - stand aside.

Why "new trick" is a misnomer
"Trick," "secret," and "winning strategy" are nicknames used to make a video click - not descriptions of a system that beats the platform. Nothing here changes the built-in payout structure of OTC products, and no EMA arrangement can forecast a synthetic feed. Treat this as an educational, rule-based framework, and treat any promise of certainty as a red flag.
Risk management
On short-duration OTC trades, position sizing and discipline matter far more than any signal:
- Risk a small, fixed amount per trade so a losing run cannot damage the account.
- Set a hard daily loss cap and a stop-for-the-day trade count, then walk away when either is hit.
- Do not use martingale. Raising your stake after a loss does not improve the next trade - each trade is independent - and a normal losing streak makes the required stake exceed your balance and empties the account. Keep the stake flat.
- Practise on a demo balance first, and only ever risk money you can afford to lose.

FAQ
Is this really a trick, and does it always win?
No. It is a nickname, not a way to beat the platform, and no setup wins every time. OTC feeds are synthetic and run by the platform, so treat this as a discipline framework, not a guarantee.
What are the EMA settings?
Three exponential moving averages with periods of 10, 24 and 37 on a one-minute chart. You can adjust them, but the idea is simply to read trend direction and momentum, not to predict the next candle.
Can I use this on weekends?
OTC assets are the ones that stay open on weekends because they are platform-generated rather than tied to live market hours. The same rules and the same house-set odds apply, so keep your risk limits identical.
