This is an effective strategy with only three indicators. I use this strategy primarily on the 15 minute chart, but it can be used effectively on longer time frames as well.

The three indicators being used are:

1. Exponential 15 period Moving Average (closed)
2. Exponential 25 period Moving Average (closed)
3. Exponential 50 period Moving Average (closed)

You can refer to the picture above to see how your chart should look. The color of each Moving Average is completely up to you.

When the 15 MA crosses below BOTH the 25 & 50 MA you place a sell order. As indicated by the red arrows in this picture:
