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.

Head and Shoulders GBP/USD May-2011

The Gbp/Usd pair had made a brake of the 50sma 8h SurpriseBox. The brake formed a head and shoulders pattern. The volatility of the pound brought this pair back to the box yesturday but today again directing toward the target. Bumpy road as moving averages were on the way including the 100sma and 200sma serving as support (or resistance depending the way you look at it). I initially traded short but failed to get out when it touched the 100sma so I got stopped out (I got shaken out of the position).
