Recommended Posts

Same chart time as Strategy 2.

 

Indicators:

 

1. Channels 360 with the midline displayed

2. Channels 18 with the midline displayed

3. 275 EMA with specific levels (they are still being tested, so I'm holding this info for now)

4. Average True Range 5

5. Heiken Ashi Oscillator

6. Stochastics 8,3,3

7, For visual aid I overlay lightly ZUP indicator, but will not take trade off a pattern alone.

 

Setups:

 

1. When the channel 18 is in descending mode trade retracements off the top of the channel, red line. When the channel 18 is in an ascending mode, trade retracements off the lower line (blue)

 

2. Trade retracements off the 275 EMA

 

3. Trade against 360 low or high.

 

4. Setups near 360 midline.

 

Triggers:

 

1. Price action bars (PB, PBNR, I4) breakouts

2. If none occured, Heiken Ashi color change or Stochastics coming off high or low.

 

Trade management:

 

1. TPO1 - the other side of the channel 18

2. TPO 2 - open, trail with ATR stop, or channel 18 midline.

 

This is a supplementary strategy to Strategy 1

 

Rules

 

If the setup occurs in Strategy 1 and 2 at the same time - take only 1

If the setup occurs in strategy 1 and 3 or 2 and 3 - take both, but Strategy 3 is traded on breakouts of the bar's high/low (except 275 ema area), while Strategy 1 and 2 is traded on close preferably or open the next day.

short @124.56

SL@125.10.

Not a hedge of previous trade, but a signal in my book:

Setup: 200sma, Trigger: PBNR (PinBarNarrowRange) - actually trading bar formed on Sunday on Oanda charts. I do this because on my backtests I've never looked of the triggers were Sunday bars or not.

 

half closed for 2xSL, rest B/E, tomorrow start trailing.

Today, 6 June,

GBPPY short@122.82 SL@124.45

Strategy 1 (PB near 200sma)

 

Should be "Today, 8 June,", not 6 June.

 

This trade was closed at +4pips. PB didn't continue and it looked like an opposite PB developed on Friday.

This one I couldn't update on time, but anyway, it goes against me as I write.

 

Short GBPJPY 123.91 SL@124.96. Strategy 2.

 

If today finishes with PB or separation bar, I will think of going long.

Still have half position opened from previous long.

another long just before weekend

 

GBPJPY long@123.32 SL@121.90 halfTPO@126.00

 

I title it "weekend long" since it was a rare event when Oanda paused all trading during that weekend (Greece elections).

 

Half closed @123.93 for small profit - reason was PB signal for short (as previous post).

closed half@124.18 for a loss, as opposite signal dictates closing half of the trade.

    • Date: 26th November 2024. Trump’s tariff threats boosted Dollar; Peso, Loonie, Gold & Oil Lower. The Trump trade picked up steam as investors cheered his pick for Treasury Secretary, Scott Bessent. Beliefs he will be a steadying voice in the administration’s fiscal measures, while still following President-elect Trump’s tariff and tax commitments, underpinned. Asia & European Sessions:   Trump threatened on Monday to impose sweeping new tariffs on China, Canada and Mexico on his first day as US President to crack down on illegal immigration and drugs. He would impose a 25% tax on all products entering the country from Canada and Mexico, and an additional 10% tariff on goods from China as one of his first acts as president of the US. Bessent’s 3-3-3 plan aims to cut the deficit to 3% of GDP, boost growth to 3%, and increase oil production to 3 mln barrels. Treasury yields dove in a curve flattener, extending their drops through the session, on expectations inflation will decelerate. A strong 2-year auction also supported. The Dow led the charge, climbing 0.99% to 44,736, a new record peak as the rally broadens. The S&P500 climbed to 6020, a session peak, but finished with a 0.3% gain to 5987. The NASDAQ closed 0.27% higher. Today, stock markets in Europe are posting broad losses, with the DAX down -0.6%, the FTSE 100 0.4%, after a largely weaker close across Asia. ECB: Lane suggests ECB must be open-minded on speed of rate cuts. The ECB’s Chief Economist said in a speech on Monday evening that “remaining open-minded about the speed and scale of adjustments is in fact a valuable strategy across various environments, as different situations may necessitate distinct approaches.” This careful, step-by-step strategy enables us to observe the responses of the economy to our decisions and continuously refine our understanding of their impacts.” The comments leave the door open to a 50 bp move in December, but also tie in with our expectation that the central bank will deliver a 25 bp while tweaking the forward guidance and commit to additional moves. Financial Markets Performance: The USDIndex hit a session high of 107.50 and is currently lower at 106.85. Mexican peso and Canadian dollar slumped as the dollar is being viewed as a haven after the comments of President-elect Donald Trump on tariffs on Canada, Mexico and China. USDCAD spiked to 1.4177 and USDMXN rallied to 20.74. Oil and Gold lost ground, in part on cooling geopolitical risks, and on Trump trades. Oil dropped -3.03% to $69.09 per barrel, in part on the Trump trade and on talk of a potential cease fire between Israel and Hezbollah. Similarly, gold fell -3.26% to $2605 per ounce.
