The full aticle will provide:

  • The weekly currency score for the major currencies.
  • The weekly currency chart for the interesting pairs.
  • The daily(timing) chart for the interesting pairs.
  • Possible positions for the coming week and positions taken.
Every first Sunday of the month I will provide the long term strategy which has been added recently to the Hybrid Grid strategy. The strategy is under evaluation and positions have been placed on the evaluation account. The EUR/NZD is for this an interesting pair.

CURRENCY SCORE

Currency score
See Currency score explained for more details
  • The USD, AUD and CAD are very strong. The EUR, JPY and CHF are the weakest currencies. The best pairs to look at are a combination of those pairs. 
  • The AUD remains in general stronger than the JPY. This combinations is interesting. Same for the USD compared to the EUR. 
  • The CHF has become weak just recently but is in general stronger than the EUR. So the preference for going short is the EUR.
  • The CAD has become strong lately but offer less opportunities compared to the other stronger pairs.
  • The EUR/USD  and AUD/JPY remain the best pairs to trade. These are one of the interesting pair combinations according to the strategy rules for the FxTaTrader Hybrid Grid strategy, see FxTaTrader Hybrid Grid
  • Last week pending orders were placed for the EUR/USD and AUD/JPY. 
___________________________________________

Open/pending positions of last week.

Since there was a lot of important news for the interesting currencies last week and the strategy avoids by preference to trade around important news the orders were placed with caution. Only on a significant pull back positions would have been opened in the direction of the main trend. The momentum was very high for both pairs and the pull backs were not significant.
The coming week may offer good opportunities in these pairs because the news for coming week is not anymore as heavy and as much.

Open/pending positions of last month.

This is the first article where we will look into the longer term strategies. The strategy does not differ much from the current strategy used on the daily chart. There are 3 important differences which are:
  1. The timing chart is the weekly instead of the daily and the decision chart is the monthly instead of the weekly. There is no context chart.
  2. There is also more emphasis on the taking carry trades because positions will be held longer.
  3. The profit target is 1/4 ATR of the monthly chart instead of the weekly.

EUR/NZD

The EUR/NZD is a very interesting pair for the longer term and is an interesting pair for the Hybrid Grid strategy. On the evaluation account positions have been taken and also closed with profit.
