It's my guess that we're going to see some usd strength returning which should hopefully lead to a sustained downtrend for xxxusd. Just a guess of course.
gu seem confirm bearish.... price below sma on h4.
eu will bearish.... if break 1.3184...

regards.
Peace Yo!

Sorry I've not been posting so much recently, I've been busy on another project. Looking through the charts you can see that there are some trend changes taking place. This is the time that trend traders need to be the most careful as it's an easy time to lose money.

Here are some interesting charts. I'm sorry I didn't get a chance to post them earlier (ie before they happened!) but I hope I can get back on track in the next few days and spot some nice trades before they occur.

This is audusd on a 30 minute chart. Don't be afraid to trade lower timeframes but one thing I would say is that be careful with the spread. Obviously if you are trading a pair with a bigger spread this will have more impact on lower timeframes. Also of course you need to adjust your stop loss and take profit. I have adjusted the money management indicator that I posted a while ago to give position size guides for each timeframe. This is just a guide but it's fairly useful.

Ok, here's one. We need to see a smooth pullback towards the ma, a smooth stoch cross and a smooth ha change. 30 min chart so it will take a while to set up but could be a good trade here.

I usually post a chart well before the trade sets up, then if it sets up I post one with my entry, etc. As and when any trades come along I will post them.

hi hugh,

for the past 3 week i trade with your method, i found out that this method is really suitable if there is trend in that pair (for me is gu eu au and nu)... winning percentage is about 70-80%..

when you add 50sma, i can clearly can detect that pair this is in trend or not... now, all my fav pair is not in trend.... so i better not to trade this pair...

to trade with this method, i need to know the pair trend first.

what can i see now, the only pair is possible to trade is ej nj aj gj cadjpy and uj. all this pair is clearly can see in h4 chart is up trend.... maybe i miss out others pair. ..

gu au ecad eu ea ucad and nu all this pair trend are not clear..

any comment are welcome...

(p/s: anyone that can add the trend pair are welcome)..
Peace Yo!

Hi Hugh, Since I find that I am all too easily distracted during the day, I need a quick way to refresh my failing memory when I return to my charts. I have attached screen shots that help me keep track of possible trends. I load these in a photo viewer in my task bar for easy viewing when I need a reminder during the day. The MA is 200 and the Stochastic is DSS Bressert set at 13,5,5 which are convenient for this scale. These shots provides me with an instant comparative review.

Yes, I think you are right. For the higher timeframes I believe we are in a trend change period. I think there are some trades to be had but all on h1 or less.

I see the short long too should current support hold. If not, that 50% fib might be it and bear all the way.
