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.

Aud/Nzd Gap Up - Halfway to Target

SurpriseBox near the 100 sma and 200 sma was formed on the Aud/Nzd eight hour chart. This box broke to the upside a week ago with a gap. A long trade position was started. This position was going slowly toward the target. At present about half the expected move, target is 1.3400, trade started at about 1.3250 and now at 1.3325. I liquidated my position with a gain of 80 pips. Will evaluate when markets open if to re-establish my position till target with a higher stop.
