SUBSCRIBERS NOW UP 53% WITH 200-PIP AUD NZD TRADE

This latest 200-Pip gain involved a Consolidation Breakout trade from a Range setup on the Daily Chart of this Aussie pair. The Support boundary was initial broken with a weak Bearish Candle but was soon followed by a stronger U-Turn Signal that indicated the resumption of the breakout. Having determined that the overall setups on the Daily and 4 Hour Charts were in sync with the Methodology’s criteria, the trade was executed on Sunday March 29, 2015. After only a few days, the target was subsequently hit within the established holding period to push the overall return for Subscribers to 53% from only 12 trades, generating 868 Pips along the way.

Apart from the strong trading profit that Subscribers would have enjoyed on their Retail and Institutional Trading Accounts, the sharp Bullish Reversal in the market a day later would have provided them with additional reassurance about the accuracy of the Methodology. With Consolidation Breakouts, there is a greater tendency to hold out for a greater number of Pips than the market is offering given the larger Pip ranges of these breakouts. However, once the rules of the strategy are always followed, a consistent rate of growth will continue to be accrued on your portfolio in the months and years to come, with few market surprises.

GENERAL MARKET PATTERN

The over direction of the pair has been predominantly bearish since March of 2011. There have been brief periods of Consolidation that may have led to a reversal but the bears eventually take control and have provided significant gains for the Kiwi against its major trading partner’s currency. As with all trends that have lasted for several years, Long-Term, Outer and Inner Trend Lines tend to be formed.

DAILY CHART - STRONG DOWNTREND & CONSOLIDATION BREAKOUT

Given the strength of this downtrend and the start of the breakout from the Large Pennant, it was no surprise that the most recent Consolidation setup would be broken short. This would come in the form of an Evening Star Candlestick Formation as the market rallied and U-Turned after testing the Support boundary of the Range.

Most of these profitable trades have been the result of accurate trade targets being set according to the setup presented. These exit points generally coincide with major price point areas that lead to strong pullbacks in the market over subsequent days. This recent trade was another example of the reversals that take place at these areas and the need to adhere to the guidelines for exit, regardless of the number of Pips.

Within a few days, the market rallied sharply to close Tuesday’s US trading session with a strong Bullish Candlestick Formation (reaction to the Interest Rate decision and Statement by the Reserve Bank of Australia). This would have eroded most of that 200 Pips had we chosen to hold out for more.

DAILY CHART - SHARP TREND REVERSAL SIGNAL

30 MINUTE CHART

The reversal seen on the Daily Chart is one of the signals given by the market to indicate the end of the Consolidation Breakout.

There is nothing more frustrating than coming back to the charts to see a perfectly good trade taken out by these reversals, especially if it begins a few Pips ahead of our intended trade target. This is why the following exit points were identified and discovered to be the best way to maximize on these trades while staying away from these “surprises”;

• Resistance/Support Boundaries;
• The Breakout Equivalent;
• The 200-Pip Maximum (where possible);
• The Weekly Range;
• The Monthly Range;

The choice of targets ultimately depends on whether we are trading a Trending or Consolidating market and the size of the Consolidation Pattern in question. So long as these are chosen appropriately on each occasion, these market surprises will be the exception with large Pip gains such as these becoming the RULE in your trading.
