Besides the Ranking and Rating list provided here I have also prepared this weekend the Weekly Currency Score list which will support my analysis for trading in the coming week which is then followed by my Review on the Hybrid Grid strategy.
When looking at the Weekly Ranking and Rating list we can see that for the coming week the USD and NZD are both well represented(3x) as the stronger currencies in the Top 10 of the list. The JPY(5x) is clearly the weaker currency followed by the GBP(3x) and the EUR(2x).
All the JPY pairs presented in the Top 10 of the list are looking overbought in the Weekly charts being above the Upper Bollinger Band. For intra week trading it seems best to wait for a pull back below this Band. There have been some pull backs during the last few weeks in e.g the USD/JPY, AUD/JPY and the CAD/JPY. However, in the last few weeks there were also other interesting pairs and according to the rules of the FxTaTrader Hybrid Grid strategy the preference goes to 2 pairs chosen for trading. If a possibility comes around with a JPY pair it will be analyzed for possible trading. In case that the current AUD/USD position remains open in the coming week for my strategy then the AUD/JPY long seems a good opportunity. This way any temporary strength in the AUD will be taken advantage of until the AUD becomes weaker again and the AUD/USD continues its way down. The above described is one of the recent updates in the strategy, please read the following article for more information FxTaTrader Hybrid Grid Strategy.
The other interesting pairs for the coming week at this moment besides the JPY pairs on pull back are the EUR/USD, EUR/NZD and the GBP/USD all for going short. Even if the latter one are the 2 stronger currencies from a longer term perspective it is clear that the GBP is the weaker one. This can clearly be seen in the Currency score of this week. I will explain more in my next article which will be published later on in this weekend.
The mentioned pairs EUR/NZD with the GBP/USD can both be traded at the same time according to the rules of the FxTaTrader Hybrid Grid strategy because these are all different currencies. By not trading the same currency in the same direction more than once you may have better chances with lower risk.
A JPY pair like the CHF/JPY, AUD/JPY and CAD/JPY may look interesting also to be added making it the maximum amount of pairs(3) being reached according to the rules for the strategy.
