Trade Idea: October 3-7, 2011 on NZDUSD

Published on Wednesday October 5th, 2011 at 01:34AM by Pipster4lyphe

On the daily, H4 & H1 chart, market continue its downwards trend....so I am gonna ride this trend until it bends! Though the weekly and the monthly charts are still bullish long term, I am willing to go with the momentum of the counter trend bias on my smaller time frames.

I am awaiting a decent retracement, I don't want to jump on the bandwagon in oversold conditions, so I am patiently waiting for the market to take a breather before I enter. Stochastics have already began to creep out of oversold territory on H4, but there is still room for the market to continue up, hopefully by the time it reaches my area of interest, stochastic should be overbought in order for my trade to be validated.

My area of interest is @ the 7765 handle which lines up with the 61.8% Fib Level. This area was resistance in the past then support. It seem to me that support has broken, hence I am looking for a retest of this level. My stop loss will be 100 pips @ 7865 and I will be eyeing recent lows as my first take profit and long-term take profit @ 7065.

I believe that this pair has more downside risk as the measurement of H & S pattern has not reached its targeted area of 7050. As price approaches 7765 I will look for price action in terms of candlesticks confirmation.

The plan is short @ 7765 SL @ 7865 TP1 @ 7465 TP2 @ 7065. I will also look for opportunities to add to my position every 100 pips that the trade moves in my favor.

I will keep you posted with all relevant updates.

Good luck and good trading!

    "Ride the trend til it bends" I like that! Sounds much spunkier than "The trend is your friend" haha. I'm looking at this setup too, but still haven't decided on an entry. I didn't notice that H&S until you pointed it out but that's really good confirmation for this trade. I might enter around the 50% and 61.8% FIbs like you. Good luck to us!

    Would you mind pointing out the H&S pattern - I'm quite new and am unsure of what I'm seeing.   Thanks

    Thank you guys. Well, I got triggered at the end of the trading week....was up by more than 70 pips @ one point my only drawback is that I had mentioned that I would have to make an executive decision when it comes on to holding trades over the weekend....I am up by over 30 pips now...I am still pretty confident in my trade idea as I believe the 61.8% has held nicely....any suggestions as how to manage this trade will be greatly appreciated.
