A SurpriseBox near the 100 sma had been formed on the Eur/Cad four hour chart. This box broke to the upside today with a bullish engulfing pattern. This engulfing pattern encased 8 previous candles that makes it very significant. A long trade position was started. A reasonable target will be the 1.36 area corresponding to the 50 sma. A more agresive trade place the target at the 1.37 area corresponding to a recent high. 1.3335 will be a reasonable stop being the recent low or a more aggressive trade will be to place the stop near the 1.3300 area corresponding to the 200 sma.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.
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.
