The Monday Accelerator

Recommended Posts

A few weeks ago we did a thread on trading to the weekly pivot on GBP/CHF. The trade will usually open and close on Monday, thus the new name "The Monday Accelerator"

There is one trade a week. Of the 4 weeks we had three trades open and win, and one trade that did not open.

It has been suggested that we try it with pairs other than GBP/CHF, something I have never tried. Thus the name change to the thread.

So starting tonight when the Weekly Pivot prints we are going to try it on 2 or 3 pairs.

One will always be the GBP/CHF for use as a base line. Tonight I thought we would try the AUD/JPY as well. If you have pair you would like to see let me know. Just bear in mind that pairs known for their explosive volatility work best.

 

You can refer to the original thread for some backround information.http://www.traderslaboratory.com/forums/forex-trading-laboratory/17399-gbp-chf-weekly-pivot.html

The Weekly Pivot has just printed on GBP/CHF at 14475. Price is currently at 14434...

less than 50 pips away. There is no GAP. So far the weekly low is 14418. I would like to see price make a lower low so I can place an entry order at 14425 with a TP of 40 pips ( a 10 pip buffer before the Weekly Pivot ). I hope price does not go right to the WP ( this is what we will call the Weekly Pivot from now on ).

 

 

AUD/JPY : The WP on AUD/JPY is at 9404. Price is currently at 9347 so we have 50 pips to enter a buy toward the WP. We have a GAP which happens to be 9328, also the daily pivot. I will set the entry order AFTER price has filled the GAP and hit the daily pivot.

 

( BTW you can have MT4 send an email to your cell with price alerts ).

As I feared, GBP/CHF ran away from us and went straight to the WP.

In the past there have been times when it was thought I was a bit too conservative by my peers. But I made a vow years ago never to chase a trade. There's more where that came from.

 

 

Meanwhile back at AUDJPY headquarters, It's not doing anything that makes me feel warm and cozy. It is moving toward the WP, just not as directly as the GBP/CHF. I'll have to give this one more time to get to know it. We will hold it over for next week. I would also like to add EUR/AUD and my old friend GBP/JPY for a total of 4 pairs ( we always include GBP/CHF ).

AUD/JPY is now at 9349 . The WP ia at 9413 . We can now place an entry order at 4363 trading toward the WP. The WP is 50 pips away from our enter, but we will be using a 10 pip buffer to take in account any variations in different acct platforms.

Weds beginning and still no entry. We will keep the entry in place thru EOB EST thur at least. For next week I think AJ will be dropped from our repertorire. For next week we will add the eur/aud and the gbp/jpy. The eur/aud is a pair I love to hate so thought I would throw that in to prevent from becoming too one sided.

 

BUT WAIT ! THERE'S MORE !!!

 

Since we are adding G/J to the mix I am going to tell about a gimmick we can do if/when G/J ever reaches R3 or S3. If I tell you now you won't have to read this thread anymore because you will have become The Master of Life, The Universe . . . Everything !

Well our entry has finally triggered. I can't say I am completely confidant with this position opening on a Weds, it is called the MONDAY accelerator for a reason. But, a plan is a plan. We will see.

Good Day ! Everyone ready for a new work week? I hope everyone had a great weekend !

 

 

This week we are covering our baseline pair GBP/CHF, and adding GBP/JPY and EUR/AUD to the mix.

 

GBP/CHF: WP is at 14494, price is currently at 14527. I am placing an entry order at 14544 with a TP 10 pips before the WP at 14504

 

 

GBP/JPY: The WP is at 15739, price is at 15717. we are too close to the WP to place an order. I will be watching this and if we move far enough from the WP I will place an entry order.

 

 

EUR/AUD: The WP is at 14345. Price is at 14252... plenty of room her to place an order at 14295 with a TP 10 pips before the WP at 14335 for 40 pips.

To be honest I have always been a bit shy with this pair having taken a beating with it early in my trading career. Let's see what happens.

 

Keep you posted as things develop .

I had to go out for most of the day... was not able to update earlier.

 

GBP/CHF is still open and up 10 pips as I type. Since this is the "Monday" Accelerator I am inclined to close it and take the 10 pip profit.

 

EUR/AUD has not yet triggered.We are still 85+ pips away so we will keep it open and see what develops tomorrow .

 

GBP/JPY went right to the WP. Too bad we didn't have room to place a trade, but, rules are rules.

Good thing we bailed when we did on GBP/CHF...Iturned around and went in the wrong direction away from the WP. I am going to set up another entry on this pair. The usual 50 pips from the WP, after all, it has still not hit the WP and we have plenty of room.

 

EUR/AUD : Almost in exactly the same place as yesterday. We will leave this open anorther day and see what happens.

The rules dictate ( yes, there are rules to this gimmick ) that any unopened trades be shut down by Friday. So that's a wrap for this week people.

 

Next week we will be doing GBP/CHF, and GOLD. If anyone has a pair they would like to try let me know.

GBP/CHF:

 

The WP is at 14699. Current price is at 14767, more than 50 pips away. So we will place an order at 14750 with a TP at 14710 ( 10 pip buffer from the WP).

 

Gold: The WP is at 1297.77 We have placed a buy entry at 1297.11 with a TP 40 cents above . I have never traded Gold before, we will see what happens.

GBP/CHF: TP is hit, +40 pips.

 

GOLD: From my point of view, nothing to speak of.

Our GBP/CHF trade this week was just the way I like them, fast and sweet.

Our Gold position is going nowhere so we will close it.

 

 

Next week we will have of course the GBP/CHF. Since their have been no requests I was thing maybe EUR/USD.

Hi everyone,

 

GBP/CHF We have placed a pending short at 14745. The WP is at 14695 so our TP will be at 14705 ... . . just got in by the skin of our teeth. :)

 

 

EUR/USD: the other pair we picked for this week. Now I remember why we havn't traded the Monday Accelerator with it in the past, not enough range or volatility . The WP is at 13449 , price is at 13482. Too close to get a trade in. Nevertheless, we will watch it and if we get enough room we will stick a toe in the water.

Another good week for the Monday Accelerator.

I will continue posting it thru the month of November. So far it has proved to be a nice little trick. We have missed getting in a couple of times, but those we got in, produced.

Again, only with the GBP/CHF. It just does'nt prove fruitful with other pairs. As usual if there are any requests for other pairs let me know and we will give them a shot.

 

For December we are trying to get together a contest. I will be using the MA on the contest.

 

If anyone would like to try a hand at running the "Accelerator" thread let me know. This way you can be sure you are setting it up accurately for your own testing or live trading.

 

PS: The remainder of November will be weird with the major US holiday. I normally take this week off from trading. We will see what happens.

Looks like we are closed out this week. Price has already been within 10 pips of the WP.

So no setup currently. Really don't see much happening as we move thru the week, with a Major holiday in the US probably extending into a long weekend for most. We will of course keep an eye open.

    • It depends. If you have lots of money that you can buy a house without a loan and if you don't have any parents to sponsor then it is a good idea. Otherwise it might be a bad idea depending where in Canada you are heading to. I earned a good middle income in my home country and I migrated to Vancouver 5 years ago at the age of 35. I had to start right from the bottom, lowest of the low.. Now i am finally earning a middle income in Canada but I still cannot afford to buy a one bedroom apartment. Having left behind friends, family and home, most of the times I think it is not worth it.   In short, do not migrate if you already have a good life in your home country and you are happy. Only migrate to Canada if you really have to leave your home country say there is a war or something really bad. Discrimination still exists here and its really tough for newcomers unless you are super rich. Good luck. David Chong, Quora  
    • This is bigger than the internet. Bigger than mobile. Bigger than social media.   While everyone was distracted by stock market fluctuations and political theater…   Most people have NO IDEA what just happened last week with ChatGPT.   Their new memory feature allows ChatGPT to remember EVERYTHING about you across all your conversations.   Think about that for a minute...   While most tech companies have been collecting mere breadcrumbs about you - your likes, your clicks, your browsing history - OpenAI is now collecting the most valuable dataset in human history: your complete psychological profile.   This is Zuckerberg x 5,000.   The more you use ChatGPT, the more it understands you, becoming a supercharged reflection of yourself that improves at an exponential rate.   Are you a regular ChatGPT user?   Consider whether it’s time to turn off the “you can train on my information” feature. To prevent your data from being used for training while still using the memory feature:   Disable Model Training: Navigate to Settings > Data Controls. Toggle off "Improve the model for everyone". Manage Memory Settings: Go to Settings > Personalization > Memory. Here, you can: Turn off memory entirely. Delete specific memories. Use Temporary Chat for sessions that won't be saved or used for training. Now the investment implications…   Why This is Bigger Than You Think Consider this: the relationship between humans and ChatGPT is evolving beyond a mere tool.   People are now treating these AI assistants as friends, confidants, and even romantic partners.   I'm not making this up - there are already documented cases of people ending real human relationships to pursue “connections” with their AI companions.   A viral Instagram meme shows a person going through life with a glowing, featureless humanoid figure - representing ChatGPT - as their companion.   The post has over 1.1 million likes and comments like "Bro ChatGPT is like my best friend. Ain't even ashamed to say it" with 25,000 likes.   But here's where things get really interesting for investors and entrepreneurs...   Three Things to Watch For starters, hardware is the next big thing for the big players.   The iPhone form factor is dead.   It hasn't meaningfully changed in nearly a decade. The next evolution in hardware will be designed specifically to interface with these AI companions.   OpenAI is already working on hardware with Johnny Ive, the legendary designer behind the iPhone and iPod. But you can’t ignore Elon Musk’s edge here.   So what does all of this mean for you?   The companies that control the personal AI relationships will be worth trillions. OpenAI and Elon Musk will have the coziest moats. We're witnessing the birth of a new internet - one built on agents that can communicate with each other across platforms. Google's new agent-to-agent protocol allows AI agents to work together without sharing internal memories or tools. The hardware companies that create the perfect interface for these AI companions will dominate the next decade of technology. And almost nobody is talking about what this means.   My prediction? Within five years, most people will have a personal AI that knows them better than anyone else. And they will interact with it in ways that seem foreign today.   (And, yes, it will almost certainly have dystopian elements.)   In the meantime, the biggest gains won’t come from household names. And, right now, James is seeing a prime opportunity to invest in the most under-the-radar plays in AI…   For dirt cheap. By Chris C.
