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 - Target Reached

SurpriseBox near the 100 sma and 200 sma was formed on the Aud/Nzd eight hour chart. This box broke to the upside over a week ago with a gap. A target of 1.3400 was established. This target had been reached. Bad that fundamentals included human loss but this trade was placed before this natural disaster. I had exited my position halfway to the target (at the end of last week) and never re-engaged. My heart goes to the New Zealanders.
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.
