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.

NFP Nov2010

New AUD/CHF Surprisetrade - Post NFP
After the Employment News in the US a pattern emerged on the 3h chart. The NZD/CHF and the AUD/CHF made a brake from the 50sma (blue line) SurpriseBox. This brake formed a bullish engulfing pattern. Target will be recent high about 0.9900 area on the AUD/CHF pair that I just entered a long position. A reasonable stop will be the 0.9650 area. The benefit:risk ratio in this trade is over 50%.
Disclaimer: I trade the patterns depicted either at the entry point stated (e.g. trading channel, breakouts) or afterward. Although my trades are based on technical analysis, trading forex is a risky activity and may produce significant monetary loss. I only make public the trades that I am considering to make, or made and the rational for them. Not intended necessarily as trading recommendations.
