Sept 26 – Oct 2
How did these do?
AUDUSD – Price did rally to our zone of opportunity. Four hour chart reversal candle set off a 44 pip downside move.
EURUSD – Price rallied into our zone and started to break down but no trade entry
GBPUSD – Rally to our zone and no entry
NZDUSD – We are at the bottom of the range looking long. Bullish engulfing candle on four hour chart off support lead to 108 upside pips on break of highs.
USDCAD – We were looking at shorting opporutnity. Triple top on four hour chart with rising trendline. Sell stop at rising trend line is 103 downside pips

Many currency pairs are just slopping back and forth and that makes for tough trading. 308 pips is not bad – Futures traders would love a 308 point week. The money you make depends on your risk.
While I use a 4 hour chart entry for my daily setups most of the time, you can use an even lower one for your entries. If you do, look for breakouts of a range or smaller trend line breaks to enter. You can often get into a trade, such as the AUDNZD on a one hour range break, and grab some pips as price rallies. When markets are like this, you can experiment on a demo account trading patterns like pullbacks or range breakouts when the daily chart is reacting to a level. Look at 30 minute charts and on a rainy day, I have no issue doing it.
Sticking with the majors this week as currencies seem to be in a transition.
