GBP CHF REVERSES SHARPLY BEARISH AS PREDICTED

As I had pointed out in the analysis of the GBP CHF last week (see blog post archives), despite the Bullish Breakout Signal above the Penant of the Daily Chart, the current market conditions that have restricted major breakouts led to the appearance of a Sharp Bearish Reversal Signal. This initially cancelled out the Bullish Breakout Signal and was expected to take us back inside of the Pennant and back to Support...

DAILY CHART PENNANT PROJECTED REVERSAL

From the graph below, you can see that this Signal did in fact lead to the move back to Support as forecast, in sync with the theory of False Breakout Reversals from the Trading Manual...

DAILY CHART BEARISH REVERSAL AS PREDICTED

STRUCTURE OF FALSE BREAKOUT REVERSALS

In False Breakouts, the market reverses aggressively back inside of the Consolidation following a failed Breakout at the other end.

Despite the fact that a strong Bullish Signal appeared above the Pennant to indicate the start of sharp gains for the GBP, major breakouts are becoming the exception rather the rule over the last 10 months. This means that even though Consolidation Breakouts still take place on the Smaller Charts, breakouts on the Larger Charts that would mean major currency price changes are no longer taking place.

Within this context, the best option is to always assume these setups will pullback inside of these Consolidations and look for trades in this direction, regardless of the strength of the initial Breakout Signals.

TRADE ENTRY SETUP & SIGNAL

Despite the accuracy of this forecast, the market did not provide me with a strong enough signal that justified trading this decline that offered up to 100 Pips in potential gains in a very short time.

This trade would have been a great example of how we trade the 4 Hour Chart after the Daily Chart gives us a signal. However, as you can sse from the chart below, the 4 Hour Signal had a very large wick compared to the size of the Body of the Candle itself- usually a sign of a very weak and risky signal to trade...

4 HOUR CHART ENTRY SIGNAL

The Stop Loss would have been placed just above the Resistance High of the U-Turn.

However, instead of the market rallying to take out this signal, the bearish reversal continued towards its target of the Support Boundary of this Pennant. So despite being spot on with the forecast for this market reversal, the weakness of the signal prevented me from taking full advantage of it.

This is something that happens from time to time in the Forex. Signals that are normally too risky to trade can sometimes still lead to profitable outcomes had we decided to trade them. Nevertheless, since this an exception to the general rule about signals to trade, we must never compromise our trading discipline by risking our capital on low probability signals and setups. We just need to simply move on and patiently wait for a better trade that meets the rules of the Trading Strategy and that offers a Higher Probability of Success.

THE TRADING STRATEGY & MENTORING SERVICE

The Graph below illustrates the Aggressive 24 Hour Strategy that I use on my Live Account which takes advantage of the ability to accurately forecast the Weekly Range of Exchange Rate Movements of Currency Pairs using the Larger Time Frames.

There are times when trades that offer less than 50 Pips or more than 70 Pips are also targeted, so long as the setup is strong enough to justify taking the risk. All trades are held for a maximum of 24 Hours since this was discovered to be the time needed for the High Probability Trades to hit their Pip Targets. It also imposes a level of discipline that prevents us from being greedy.

Rate of Return Targets

The new Trading Strategy builds on the previous strategy that targeted 100 to 200 Pips over 7 Days and which provided Annual Returns of 40% on average - a performance which beat that of most of the Top 10 Currency Traders as ranked by BarclayHedge.

RATE OF RETURN 2015

RATE OF RETURN 2016

However, despite this strong performance, the limited range of price movement that has now affected most currencies has led to the need to target smaller Pip Ranges each week. With a greater number of these setups availabke to be captured each month, larger and faster Rates of Returns can now be realized.

Creation and Testing of Strategy

To ensure that this new strategy could be sustainable over the long-term, all of 2017 was dedicated to creating and testing a strategy that would have a robust set of parameters and trading rules. This would ensure it could stand up to the strict statistical analysis by Myfxbook

and meet the following criteria for a Real World Trading Strategy;

1. ALLOWS YOU TO KEEP A NON-FOREX 9-5 ROUTINE

2. DOES NOT REQUIRE ECONOMIC ANALYSIS

3. DOES NOT REQUIRE MONITORING OF THE TRADE

4. REQUIRES ONLY A HANDFUL OF QUALITY TRADES

5. KEEPS YOUR CHARTS CLEAN & INDICATOR-FREE

6. OFFERS STRONG MONTHLY RETURNS OVER THE LONG-RUN

Having completed this period of extensive research and backtesting to meet these goals, conformation of the viability of the strategy came when it provided a 28% Rate of Return in the December Trader Contest with Dukascopy Bank - in line with the new monthly targets of the strategy.

SUMMARY OF PERFORMANCE

(Check out this blog post for more details of this contest performance that was aimed at testing the strategy - not winning the competition. https://drfxtrading.blogspot.com/2017/12/28-monthly-return-can-put-you-in-charge.html?q=A+28&m=1)

This now sets the stage for what can be expected of my Tracked & Verified Live Account over the next 6 Months starting in February.

CURRENT RETURN - FEBRUARY 2017

Risk Capital Per Trade

For traders who apply a Risk of up to 4% Per Trade using my Trading Signals, gains of up to 30% Monthly can be realized..

3. YOU WILL ENJOY TRADING WITH AN AGGRESSIVE 24-HOUR STRATEGY

_______________________________

The Previous Conservative Strategy targeted 100 to 200 Pips of these movements per trade each month. This provided average annual returns of 40% in 2015 and 2016.

Despite these great results, a more aggressive strategy is now being used beginning February 1st, 2018.

(Some Trades - where justified - will use larger Stop Losses)

4. YOU WILL LEARN ABOUT THE WEEKLY RANGES OF CURRENCY PAIRS

________________________________

The First Step in Swing Trading the Forex with me is to accurately predict the Weekly Range Direction of the major Currency Pairs.

All Currency Pairs have Weekly Ranges which is their average Exchange Rate Price Movements expressed in Pips over 5 to 7 Days. Trading is then done in this direction to capture our Pip Targets according to our Swing Trading Strategy.

5. YOU WILL LEARN ABOUT TRENDS & THE PATTERNS THAT LEAD TO TREND CHANGES

________________________________

Mastery of Downtrends, Uptrends and Trend Changes will be achieved with a detailed understanding of the Structure of these Market Patterns.

________________________________

There are many schools of thought on how to draw Consolidation Support and Resistance Lines. However, the "Line of Best Fit" method is the only way to do this accurately.

________________________________

7. YOU WILL LEARN HOW TO PREDICT & TRADE FALSE CONSOLIDATION BREAKOUTS

________________________________

Instead of losing due to unexpected Consolidation Market Reversals, we can master and profit from them once we understand their Structure and the Candlestick Signals that start them.

________________________________

8. YOU WILL LEARN HOW TO PREDICT THE FORMATION OF CONSOLIDATIONS

________________________________

Once we are able to spot the Bullish and Bearish Waves that form Consolidations, we can trade these waves for large Pip gains instead of waiting until they are completed.
