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.

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.

    • Date: 1st April 2025.   Will Gold’s Rally Hold Strong as New Trade Tariffs Take Effect Tomorrow?   Gold continues to increase in value for a sixth consecutive day and is trading more than 17% higher in 2025. Amid fear of higher inflation, a recession and the tariffs war escalating investors continue to invest into Gold pushing demand higher. The trade policy from April 2nd onwards continues to be a key factor for the whole market. Can Gold maintain its upward trend? Trade Policy From Tomorrow Onwards Starting as soon as tomorrow, a 25% tariff will be imposed on all passenger cars imported into the United States. While this White House policy is anticipated to negatively affect European industrial performance, it will also lead to higher transportation and maintenance costs for everyday American taxpayers. The negative impact expected on both the EU and US is one of the reasons investors continue to buy Gold. Additionally, last month, President Donald Trump announced reciprocal sanctions against any trade partners that impose import restrictions on US goods. Furthermore, tariffs on products from Canada and the EU could increase even more if they attempt to coordinate a response. Overall, investors continue to worry that new trade barriers will prompt retaliatory measures, particularly from China, the Eurozone, and Japan. Any retaliation is likely to escalate the trade conflict and prompt another reaction from the US. Experts at Goldman Sachs and other investment banks warn that this will lead to rising inflation and unemployment. They also caution that it could effectively halt economic growth in the US.   XAUUSD 1-Hour Chart   The Weakness In The US Dollar Another factor which is allowing the price of XAUUSD to increase in value is the US Dollar which has been unable to maintain any bullish momentum. Despite last week’s Core PCE Price Index rising to its highest level since February 2024, the US Dollar has been unable to see any significant rise in value. Due to the US Dollar and Gold's inverse correlation, the price of Gold is benefiting from the Dollar weakness. Investors worry that new trade barriers will prompt retaliatory measures from China, the Eurozone, and Japan, potentially escalating the conflict. Experts at The Goldman Sachs Group Inc. believe that such actions by the US administration will drive rising inflation and unemployment while effectively halting economic growth in the country. Can Gold Maintain Momentum? When it comes to technical analysis, the price of Gold is not trading at a price where oscillators are indicating the instrument is overbought. The Relative Strength Index currently trades at 68.88, outside of the overbought area, since Gold’s price fell 0.65% during this morning’s session. However, even with this decline, the price still remains 0.40% higher than the day’s open price. In terms of fundamental analysis, there continues to be plenty of factors indicating the price could continue to rise. However, the price movement of the week will also partially depend on the employment data from the US. The US is due to release the JOLTS Job Vacancies for February this afternoon, the ADP Non-Farm Employment Change tomorrow, and the NFP Change and Unemployment Rate on Friday. If all data reads higher than expectations, investors may look to sell to lock in profits at the high price. Key Takeaway Points: Gold’s Rally Continues – Up 17% in 2025 as investors seek safety from inflation, recession fears, and trade tensions. Trade War Impact – New US tariffs and potential retaliation from China, the EU, and Japan drive uncertainty, boosting Gold demand. Weak US Dollar – The Dollar’s struggle supports Gold’s rise due to their inverse correlation. Gold’s Outlook – Uptrend may continue, but US jobs data could trigger profit-taking.

    • Date: 31st March 2025.   Trump Confirms Tariffs on All Countries, Sending Stocks Lower.   The NASDAQ continues to trade lower due to the US confirming the latest tariffs will be on all countries. In addition to this, bearish volatility also is largely due to the higher inflation data from Friday. The NASDAQ declines to its lowest price since September 11th 2024. Core PCE Price Index - Inflation Increases Again! The PCE Price Index read 2.5% aligning with expert forecasts not triggering any alarm bells. However, the Core PCE Price Index rose from 0.3% to 0.4% MoM and from 2.7% to 2.8% YoY, signalling growing inflationary pressure. This increases the likelihood that the Federal Reserve will maintain elevated interest rates for an extended period. The NASDAQ fell 2.60% due to the higher inflation reading which is known to pressure the stock market due to pressure on consumer demand and a more hawkish Federal Reserve. Boston Fed President Susan Collins recently commented that tariffs could drive up inflation, though the long-term impact remains uncertain. She told journalists that a short-term spike is the most probable outcome but believes the current pause in monetary policy adjustments is appropriate given the prevailing uncertainties. Although, certain investment banks such as JP Morgan actually believe the Federal Reserve will be forced into cutting rates. This is due to expectations that the economy will struggle under the new trade policy. For example, JP Morgan expects the Federal Reserve to delay rate cuts but will quickly cut towards the end of 2025. Market Risk Appetite Takes a Hit! A big factor for the day is the drop in the risk appetite of investors. This can be seen from the VIX which is up almost 6%, Gold which is trading 1.30% higher and the Japanese Yen which is the day’s best performing currency. Most safe haven assets, bar the US Dollar, increase in value. It is also worth noting that all indices are decreasing in value during this morning's Asian session with the Nikkei225 and NASDAQ witnessing the strongest decline. Previously the stock market rose in value as investors heard rumours that tariffs would only be on certain countries. This bullish swing occurred between March 14th and 25th. Over the weekend, President Donald Trump indicated that the upcoming tariffs would apply to all countries, not just those with the largest trade imbalances with the US. NASDAQ - Technical Analysis In terms of technical analysis, the NASDAQ continues to obtain indications that sellers control the price action. The price opens on a bearish price gap measuring 0.30% and trades below all Moving Averages on all timeframes. The NASDAQ also trades below the VWAP and almost 100% of the most influential components (stocks) are declining in value.     The next significant support level is at $18,313, and the resistance level stands at $20,367.95. Key Takeaway Points: NASDAQ falls to its lowest since September 2024 as the US confirms tariffs on all countries, adding to inflation concerns. Core PCE inflation rises to 0.4% MoM and 2.8% YoY, increasing the likelihood of prolonged high interest rates. Investor risk appetite drops as VIX jumps 6%, gold gains 1.3%, and safe-haven assets outperform. NASDAQ shows strong bearish momentum, trading below key technical levels with support at $18,313 and resistance at $20,367.95. Always trade with strict risk management.
