Trading Spot Forex, Equities and Futures using "Long Term Moving Averages" as Support and Resistance. The strategy consist of breakouts from the 800 or 200 simple moving average (sma) Bollinger Band. Will take into account the 800sma, 200 sma, the 50 sma and recent high/lows as support and resistance. Reversal patterns "double bottom" or "double top" near a Bollinger Band will trigger a trade.

GBP/CAD SurpriseTrade Nov-3-2010

New GBP/CAD Surprisetrade
The GBP/CAD Pair presented a break from the SurpriseBox to the upside on the 8h chart. The SurpriseBox was formed on the 8h chart around the 200sma (red line). The 50sma (blue line), representing the top of the box, was broken with a green bullish candle. About a 50:50 trade will be to go long about 08:00h est today if price still around this level. Target will be the 1.6350 area, a reasonable stop will be the 1.6125 area corresponding to the bottom of the box. I already placed a small trade. Plan to add at 08:00h. Today is fed day in US so, this evening may present increased volatility.
