FX Weekly ranking and rating Week 4 Updated

FX Weekly Ranking and Rating Wk04 / Sun. 25-Jan-2015

There will be new articles based on the Monthly strategy and the evaluation of the strategy will also be discussed.
For this reason some pages on the website have been updated.

The following pages have been updated:

Besides the Ranking and Rating list provided here I will also prepare 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.

Because of the high presence of the CHF pairs in the Top 10 it is better to use the Top 15 in the coming period. All the CHF pairs will be ignored for trading until the daily chart starts to show useful data. When looking at the Top 15 in the Weekly Ranking and Rating list we can see that for the coming week the following stronger currencies are well represented for going long: CHF(7x), USD(3x), JPY(2x) and the GBP(2x). The EUR(5x) is clearly the weaker currency followed by the CAD(4x) and the AUD(2x).

A nice combination for coming week may be e.g:

[ul]
[li]EUR/USD with the GBP/CAD[/li][li]USD/CAD with the EUR/GBP[/li][li]AUD/USD with the EUR/GBP[/li][/ul]
These are just a few examples and many other combinations are possible. The mentioned pair combinations can be traded at the same time according to the rules of the FxTaTrader 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.

Last week (pending) orders were placed for the NZD/CAD. More details on the (possible) traded pairs will be provided in my strategy article that will also be published this weekend. The possible positions for coming week for the strategy will then also be described.

FxTaTrader Forex weekly ranking and rating list Week 04 / Sunday 25-Jan-2015

Analysis based on TA charts for all the major currency pairs. Good luck to all. No advice, just info. Every week the Forex ranking rating list will be prepared in the weekend. All the relevant Time Frames will be analyzed and the ATR and Pip value will be set.
There will be 2 updates during the week on Tuesday and Wednesday. The Daily and 4 Hour chart will then be analyzed and updated.
This makes that there will be no more than 48 trading hours between each update. This is a reasonable period when considering that the smallest time frame used is the 4 hours, meaning 12 price bars/candlesticks.


The FxTaTrader Weekly Forex ranking and rating list is meaningful data for my Weekly FxTaTrader strategy. Besides this list I also use the Weekly Currency Score which is available once a week on this blog together with my weekly analysis on my Strategy.

NZD/CAD: Holding to the Longs
The pull back last week in the pair offered a good opportunity to step in. For that reason positions have been opened for this pair based on the analysis described in my article Weekly Review Strategy Wk03. See for an update on these positions my weekend article Weekly Review Strategy Wk04. Profit has been made of 1/4 Weekly ATR on 1 position and another position remains open with a trailing stop.
The CAD is this week the weakest currency with a score of 2 after the EUR at the moment and the NZD is in the middle of the range with a score of 4. See for more information my weekend article: Weekly Currency Score Wk04

AUD/USD: Short
The pull back today offered a good opportunity to step in. Positions have been opened for this pair based on the analysis described in my article Weekly Review Strategy Wk04. The AUD is this week a weaker currency with a score of 3 after the EUR and the CAD and the USD is a stronger currency with a score of 7. See for more information my weekend article: Weekly Currency Score Wk04

Possible positions for this week
At the moment no positions are taken for the FxTaTrader strategy in the CHF pairs, see for more information my weekend articles. The EUR/USD looks interesting but having already a long position on the USD (short AUD/USD) no more long positions on this currency are opened as described for the FxTaTrader Strategy. The EUR/GBP looks also interesting but it is too far outside the Bollinger Band in the Weekly chart at the moment.
