Trading the Trend with Strong Weak Analysis

I think the double pin on the USDCAD daily was the warning sign.

No such indication on both NZDUSD and EURNZD.

Your strong weak calculations show the daily changes in strength/weakness very well and only take a few minutes to do as well!

Going through all your youtube videos at the moment. Thanks for persisting with your posts here.

We ended the month and the halfway point of the year with a surge in the European block and the CAD, NZDCHF* becomes our newest Top Trade, Two previous TOP Trades NZDUSD hit +331 pips while USDCAD is seeing a deep two day pullback likely taking most of us out of that trade

Yes, I believe in the fact that you always need to trust the trend and trade with the trend. Trend is your friend is a well said truth by a wise trader. As a newbie, it is a sin to trade against the trend as it can put you in a huge loss which would become difficult for you to recover. Thanks!

Another step lower for NZD was good for our short NZD trades

Shorting the NZD against any of my top 6 on a pullback is working out well and until something changes that is the play

The market pulled back a little bit today,

It looks like most of the world took the day off with the US on this 4th of July

yep… little boring

Very interesting. EURNZD has just become the Strong Weak trade, but it has been going down for the last three days.

Thanks ikdenk for your rankings, this holiday in the middle of the week has my schedule all messed up

Anyway here is my ranking for end of day yesterday, and Yes we now have long EURNZD as our top trade, short EURNZD was our top trade just 3 weeks ago and that was the worse trade of the year as it revered the very next day. We need to be cautious about jumping into trades when the trend is actually contracting. This is why I say my SW rankings can be used as a foundation for your trading plan, but should not be used as a stand-alone system

EURUSD has caught my eye again, after a 1000 pip selloff it does look like it has found strong support at 1.1500 a move higher from here looks likely. First target is 1.2000 if price fails here then you will have the right shoulder of a H&S top that could send price below 1.1500 but if we get through 1.2000 then 1.2500 becomes our next target

D what up. I agree, but I would hazard that there will be some more consolidation and volatility in the shorter term. Good for those of us who eat small rodents.

Consolidation and rotation are what this chart is telling me, We see the European sector gaining strength as the risk on trade is back in play which should take USD and JPY down to the 8th and 7th spot. Blindly taking a 1 and 8 trade here might not be advisible. When I place a strong week trade I like to see the two currencies going in opposite directions, we don’t have that with EURNZD,

Dennis,

when you say moving in opposite directions, do you mean:

The euro is strengthening in % terms, but the nzd is weakening in % terms? Although both are in extreme positions overall.

Also of course the absolute diffrence between the euro and nzd is less than 2%.

it was a bit surprising today to see the USD jump back up, that did not help my EURUSD trade, we still have a very tight consolidation with a logjam in the middle

Both EUR and NZD are getting stronger, and the spread between the two is tightening , that is not what we want to see in a SW Trade

Yen makes all the way down to the 8th spot for just the second time this year and the first since January, Yen is still strongest year to date so don’t be surprised if Yen weakness is short lived

Pullback in EURNZD is running out of steam, might be time to look for an entry on long EURNZD

It is amazing how a surge in prices at the end of the day can make quite a difference in the values and even the ratings.

You did yours just before the end of the trading day, I did mine just after the close.

Hi guys,
Is it just me or have the easy pips we were winning with SW dried up in the last two months?
