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.

Double Bottom NzdCad 4h Chart

The Nzd/Cad broke the four hours Double bottom Pattern SurpriseBox.  On the four hour the box was out of the 800sma with a bullish engulfing patter. Will stop at the 200sma? I believe so as suggested in the 8h chart.
Happy New Year!!

Best SurpriseTrades of 2012



The first "Best SurpriseTrade" of the Year trade will be the Nzd/Jpy. This pair had made a brake to the upside of the 200sma SurpriseBox on August 15 when looking at the four hour chart. This brake was out of a "double bottom formation". Target was set near the 800sma (purple line) and was hit with a profit. 


Below will find the chart of again, another "double bottom" on June 5. The Nzd/Usd formed a SurpriseBox out of the 800sma on daily chart. The target was set at the 200sma that was hit 9 trading days thereafter

Next among the "Best SurpriseTrade" is a brake of the Chf/Jpy 200sma and 800sma SurpriseBox to the downside. On May 6, this pair broke the Box with a gap on the daily chart. Formed a classic "head and shoulders pattern" that was completed by the end of the month.

Below is depicted the four hour chart of the Eur/Usd. On Feb 29 it formed a "double top" braking the 800sma SurpriseBox. Target was set to be the 200sma, wich was hit on Mar 5.


The last of the "Best SurpriseTrade" of the Year involves the Aud/Jpy. The pair formed a "double bottom" formation out of the 50sma SurpriseBox. The trade was taken due to the perfect formation after the initial run-up from the 800sma that started in January. Brake of the box was in Feb 1 and target was hit on Feb 7.

Testing the neck?

Bearish Eur/Usd Pattern

The Eur/Usd broke the SurpriseBox on the 4h chart down. The latter was out of a 800sma, 200sma and 50sma area. On the hourly chart made a head and shoulders pattern. A short position that I placed based on the initial head and shoulders will be fortified after the hourly pattern. Many technical indicators are in favor of this trade. A retrace to the 1.2950 area is expected before continuing in the bearish pattern.

Back to the Market - H&S GBP/AUD

The Gbp/Aud made a brake to the downside of the 50sma SurpriseBox, when looking at the eight hour chart. This brake was out of a head and shoulders pattern. Very cautious on my first trade back so "in and out" of the position quickly with a gain of 30 pips. The pattern did not had clear brake at the resistance and traveled faster and further than I anticipated.

Shaken out of the Market on Aud/Usd

The Aud/Usd had made a brake to the downside of the four hours 200sma SurpriseBox. This brake was out of a head and shoulders pattern. I had shorted the pair but was stopped out when the price moved above the right shoulder. It looks clearly now that I was effectively "shaken out by the market" as the price is moving toward the target after I liquidated.

As two "bad trades" in a row, will "take a brake" and try to conserve capital.

No NFP Trades this month

I took no new trades after the NFP today. No suitable trades found other than a risky Usd/Chf short. There was no clear target for this trade so the profit to win risk was not defined. A clear trade setup ocurred before the NFP news on the Eur/Cad but, by the time of the news, it was already to be compleated

Adjusting Position

The Nzd/Cad made a brake to the downside of the daily 200sma SurpriseBox several days ago. This brake was out of a head and shoulders pattern. Shorted on the flag formed on the 15min chart; but lighten up my position after it broke to the upside instead of the expected downside.  Longer term, still expecting to go lower due to the head and shoulders broken verified by a gap and not reaching the target.

Why the Usd/Jpy was a "no trade" after the NFP?

Yesturday, a setup was seeked for trading the NFP. The Usd/Jpy pair had made a 800sma (purple line) 15min SurpriseBox and at that time was thought to be potentially tradable. After the release of the minutes, the price jumped to target within minutes. This made the pair Non-Tradable. The setup and "No-Trade Status" was posted in twitter at the time along with the  "successful CHF/JPY trade" (@surprisetrade).
