Forex Technical Analyst Trader | Jan 11, 2015 12:51AM ET
In this article I will provide my view on the EUR/NZD and the AUD/USD. These are the pairs that I am currently interested in or was interested in last week for trading with the FxTaTrader strategy. I will pick one to analyse in more detail from the pairs that have not been discussed yet recently.
- All trades are based on specific rules according to the strategy.
This article will provide:
According to the TA Charts, the "Currency Score" and the "Ranking and Rating list" all the pairs in the Top 10 of the "Ranking and Rating list" are good to trade but the following pairs are not (yet) qualified according to the FxTaTrader Strategy rules:
There are some rules for taking positions according to the FxTaTrader Strategy. The strategy can open multiple positions of a currency pair but each currency may only be present once in the same direction in the pairs chosen for trading. It means that not all the possible positions of this coming week can be opened.
Open/pending positions of last week
EUR/NZD
This pair will be analyzed briefly, for more information read the article Weekly Review Strategy Week 1 where the pair was tipped for going short. Pending orders were placed but none have been opened during the week. In the first days of the week the pair started to rise very fast intraday. Since this was the week where market gets into full liquidity I was in doubt if my view on this pair could be wrong. I wanted a confirmation of my view by seeing the pair going through its lows of the last days around 1,5475. This confirmation came but the pair tumbled so much that it came outside the Weekly Bollinger Band. The best way to trade the pair was to wait for the pull back but the pair continued to tumble and made a movement this week from high to low of 635 pips while the Weekly ATR was 287 at the beginning of the week. This is exceptional and a pull back was in place but the market is always right so the pull back is probably in store for next week.
The orders have been placed also on the monthly strategy which is being evaluated. Since this is a longer term strategy with a larger stop loss I was not too much concerned on the lower liquidity and the orders were opened immediately on Monday. Profit of 1/2 Monthly ATR was made there of 243 pips on 2 orders and 2 more orders are open which will be closed based on a trailing stop. An article of the monthly strategy will be published next weekend on Sunday.
For the weekly strategy I will be waiting for the possible pull back next week.
Ranking and Rating list week 2
Rank: 1
Rating: - - -
Total outlook: Down
AUD/USD
This pair will be analyzed in detail. The pair is currently having a pull back and this offers an opportunity for taking short positions. The pull back is strong and the second and last short position has been opened. The stop loss is placed at 0.8235 being 20 pips above the latest high.
Ranking and Rating list week 2
Rank: 26
Rating: =
Weekly Currency score: Down
Based on the currency score the pair looked interesting in the last 3 months. The USD is a stronger currency currency from a longer term view and currently has a currency score of 7. The AUD is a weaker currency from a longer term view but currently has a score of 6. This seems as an opportunity to go short on pull back. Based solely on this information the pair does look interesting for going short in the coming week.
