The 5-3-1 strategy simplifies forex trading by focusing on:

• 5 Currency Pairs: In-depth research on a manageable number of pairs allows you to understand their behavior better.
• 3 Trading Strategies: Mastering a few well-defined strategies helps you identify trade opportunities.
• 1 Trading Time: Choosing a specific daily timeframe ensures consistency and avoids chasing the market all day.

It's a great approach for beginners to build discipline and a solid foundation for forex trading. Let me know if you'd like to hear more about any of these aspects!

The 5-3-1 Forex strategy uses three moving averages—5, 3, and 1 periods—to identify trends. When price stays above them, it signals a bullish trend; below them indicates bearish. Crossovers help time entries and exits.

In my testing with HFM, those ultra-fast MAs are noisy—adding a higher-TF trend filter and ATR-based stops cut whip saws a lot. Anyone here combine 5/3/1 with a session-only window?
