New EURNZD Signal


As of 09/24/2015 at 8:20 EST

The Global Currency Scalper has identified a possible Short trade in EURNZD.

EURNZD is setting up for a possible bearish move down to any of the 3 targets listed below.  Although this pair has been in a beautiful uptrend over the past 5 months, it will end sooner or later.  RSI has been flashing some negative divergence for 3 months, that alone is not enough to act upon.  We will be waiting to see a daily close below the lower uptrend line by more than 50 Pips before initiating our swing position.

Targets are listed in blue at 1.67852, 1.63632, 1.60116 and 1.54088.  Stop can be placed with a daily close above 1.80070 or if you'd like to risk more, a daily close above the upper trendline.

New AUDNZD Signal


As of 09/21/2015 at 08:34 EST:

The Global Currency Trader has identified a possible Long trade in AUDNZD.

AUDNZD is forming a solid triangle pattern on the hourly chart.  If you back out and look at the daily chart you find this pair is in a long-term uptrend which will favor a move out of this triangle pattern to the upside.  We will be looking for a close above the upper trendline before initiating our position.

Targets will be 1.13700 and the figure of 1.14000.  Our stop will be place with a break of the lower trendline which at this time is approximately 90 Pips.  If this pair closes below the lower trendline before we can initiate our position the signal will be null and void.

New GBPUSD Signal


After a series of bullish breakouts, the GBPUSD closed the week with the creation of an inside bar. If currency price action closes “inside” of the reference candles high and low, traders may begin looking for a breakout at the start of next week’s trading. Resistance is market with Thursday high at 1.5476, and a breakout above this value would be considered a bullish on the creation of a new higher high. Conversely bearish breakouts begin below support found at 1.53370. A move below this point suggests that the pair may be developing a new bearish bias. In the event of either a bullish or bearish breakout, ATR can be used to project potential profit targets. Current daily ATR equals 117 pips and can be added to an entry in either scenario.

In the event that prices fail to breakout above or below the high and low set by the reference candle, this suggests that the GBPUSD will continue to consolidate inside of support and resistance. In this instance, it would tentatively delay the execution of any breakout based entry orders.

New EURGBP Signal


EURGBP is forming a nice falling wedge pattern on the 4 hour.  This should lead to a breakout to the upside and continue it's short-term trend higher.

We will be waiting for a close above the top trendline, assuming we get that close we will then initiate our long position.  Targets will be 0.7400, 0.74500 and 0.75000.  A close below the lower trendline will make the signal null and void.

New EURAUD Signal




As of 09/10/2015 at 9:00 EST

The Global Currency Scalper has identified a possible Long trade in EURAUD.

As you can see this pair is forming a triangle pattern on the 4 hour timeframe.  With the long-term trend on the daily being to the upside we will be looking to trade this pair with that in mind.  Although we won't be afraid to take a short position, current trends tell us to lean towards the long side.  When looking at the hourly chart you can see this triangle forming on the 4 hour and that the pair has recently traded down towards the lower end of that triangle.  With a short-term down trendline drawn in red we will be looking for a close above this short-term trendlind before initiating a long position.

Once our long position is initiated this pair could very easily make a run back up towards the top of the triangle on the 4 hour.  Our profit targets will be 1.60340, 1.61200 and 1.63700 if the top trendline of the triangle is taken out with conviction.  Our stop will be placed at 1.57700, possibly as low as 1.57400.

We suggest waiting for our algorithm to give the green light, as of this writing it's showing a consolidation towards the triangle's apex.

New GBPUSD Signal



As of 09/03/2015 at 16:00 EST

The Global Currency Scalper has identified a possible short trade in GBPUSD.

GBPUSD has been in a downtrend over the past few days and clearly the hourly chart is following suit.  As you can see there have been  three corrective moves over the course of this downtrend.  Each of these three corrective moves spanned 51 - 102 Pips.

When corrective moves are limited to less than 20% of the total move it is showing that sellers are in control.  Again as you can see the biggest corrective move of 102 pips was 17% of the total move while the other two ranged from 8.5% - 11.3%.  Sellers are obviously in control.

We will be waiting for another corrective move of between 51 - 102 Pips, currently having a short entry target of 1.52900 - 1.53250.  This can very easily change if this pair sets a new low before giving us the corrective move we're looking for, with that said we are willing to adjust our short entry target if needed.

Targets will be 1.51750, 1.51000 and 1.50300.  Our stop will be 1.54500.

New EUR/CHF Signal


This pair is forming a very solid ABCD pattern as point C was put in place very decisively.  The chart is showing the ABCD pattern overlaid with a Fibonacci Extension.  Our projection is for this pair to make a run towards the 61.8% to 76.4% Fib extensions but we wouldn't be surprised if it made a run to the 100% level as the pullback was shallow.  Pullbacks that do not retrace the entire 61.8% show that buyers are eager to resume the uptrend.  As you can see the C retracement was only 56.9%.  As long as the bulls stay in the Euro camp our projection could be met but as we all know the Euro has been in a long-term bear trend.

Set your stops just below point A, we will be willing to risk down to the 1.06900 level as our algorithm is calculating 90% odds of a run higher on the daily chart.  www.unique4xpro.com

EURUSD May Still Have Room To Run


EURUSD formed a solid ABCD pattern which is overlaid with a Fibonacci Extension.  This pair could have room to run if it can get through the 76.4% Fib level followed by the 85.4% level.  We should see EURUSD run to at least 100% Fib level which would bring this pair to the 1.13736 level.  Considering the move from point B to point C was shallow at 54.4% compared to the expected 61.8% level shows that buyers we eager to resume the uptrend.

If you're still long we would recommend lightening up on your position at bare minimum around this 76.4% level.  With the remaining position you could place your stop between break-even and just below point B depending on your aggressiveness.

A daily close below 23.6% Fibonacci expansion at 0.7715 exposes the 38.2% level at 0.7632. Alternatively, a reversal above the 14.6% Fib at 0.7766 clears the way for a test of the 0.7813-18 area.

We will be taking a short position with a break of 0.76900 or conversely taking a long position with a break of 0.77760.  Both will have a stop of approximately 85 Pips.

Alternatively, a turn above the 61.8% Fib at 1.5941 clears the way for a test of the 76.4% expansion at 1.6124.

We will be taking a short position with a break below 1.57800 with a stop of 1.59400, conversely we will be taking a long position with a break of 1.59500 with a stop of 1.57830.

The Global Currency Scalper has identified that USD/CAD is forming nice Gartley pattern on the 4H chart.

This pair is setting up nicely for a Gartley pattern which may complete down at level D.  Since level C was somewhat shallow we have increased the D level as sellers may have more control over buyers in the short-term.  We will be buyers around 1.20400 with a stop-loss of 140-150 Pips.  If level D holds true to form we could see a bounce of 200-300 Pips.

This pair has exceeded its C target setting the stage for a move to point D which will at least 100% of the A-B move.  The B-C move should never exceed 78.6% of A-B, with that said we will set a stop of 100 Pips which will be slightly more than the 78.6% threshold.  It's very well possible point D stretches to 1.272%, 1.382%, 1.618%, or even 2.618% of the A-B move.  We will trade it conservatively and exit near the 100% level of 1.51700.

The trade Buy AUD/USD @ 0.80750

AUD/USD is sharply higher breaking the 0.80760 top from April 29th and extends the recovery from the lows set last week and during the month of April.  Since mid April this pair has been putting in higher lows and we believe this trend will continue.

We are looking for AUD/USD to test the top trend line of the reverse triangle and will be buyers ahead of this level.  Bidding 0.80750 with a targets of the figure 0.82000 and ultimately 0.82950 which is the YTD high set in January.  A stop will be placed at 0.78400 which will be raised as the days go by and the higher lows trend-line is followed.

Our Unique Forex algorithm is making the same prediction with a probability of 93%.

As of 05/06/2015 @ 18:50 EST:

The trade:  Long AUD/USD & Short AUD/NZD.

The Global Currency Scalper is seeing a nice correlation trade setting up between AUD/USD & AUD/NZD.  The spread in the correlation is currently 300 Pips, over the past year the max spread has been approximately 600 Pips.

We will be taking 1/2 our intended position size, if the spread continues to widen we will slowly add to our position.  There is a good chance we see that happen over the next few days as the US & Australia both have unemployment numbers scheduled for release, with Australia's in the next few hours.  If our timing happens to be accurate today and the spread begins to narrow before that data is released we will book our profit.

New Correlation Between USD/SGD & USD/JPY


*Position Update:  As of 05/03/2015 @ 23:23 EST The Global Currency Scalper closed its correlation trade with a profit of 27 Pips.

As of 05/03/2015 @ 19:39 EST:

The trade:   Long USD/SGD and Short USD/JPY.

The Global Currency Scalper will be initiating a position in a correlation trade between USD/SGD & USD/JPY.  As you can see the correlation has widened to approximately 500 Pips but over the past year we have seen these pairs spread as wide as 650 Pips.  With that said we will slowly build into our position, initiating 50% of our ultimate size.  If the spread continues to widen this will give us an opportunity to lower our cost basis.  If the current width of the spread happens to become the max over the next few days or weeks we will still participate by having our 50% position.

Trading a correlation strategy greatly reduces any directional risk one takes when taking a normal long or short position.  Over the past year this pair has an 93% correlation which gives us great odds of having a profitable trade.  Proper money management combined with solid odds gives you staying power in the trading business.

New Correlation Trade In AUD/JPY & EUR/JPY


*Position Update:  As of 04/28/2015 @ 23:11 The Global Currency Scalper liquidated 75% of its correlated trade between AUD/JPY & EUR/JPY with a profit of 32 Pips.  We will be holding 25% of the position for the remainder of the closing of the correlation gap.

As of 04/28/2015 @ 19:05 EST:

The Global Currency Scalper is taking a correlation trade between AUD/JPY & EUR/JPY.  As you can see over the past year the correlation has fluctuated quite a bit, even crossing at times exchanging the lead.  Currently AUD/JPY has taken the lead over EUR/JPY and the spread in the correlation has widen to approximately 500 pips.  Throughout the past year, the widest the spread has become 500 - 600 pips.

The Global Currency Scalper will be taking 1/2 of a position by going Long EUR/JPY and Short AUD/JPY.  With news slated to come out of New Zealand this evening and the Fed meeting on Wednesday the spread could widen to 600 or slightly more pips enabling us to add to our position.  If the spread starts to narrow we will see a nice profit without taking much directional risk.

New Correlation Signal AUD/USD & GBP/USD


*Trade Update:  The Global Currency Scalper took 1/2 its position with a long in AUD/USD @ 0.78693 and a short in GBP/USD @ 1.52212.  We covered the positions at 0.79975 & 1.53197 respectfully picking up 29.7 Pips on 75% of our 1/2 size position.  We will be holding the remaining 25% while the correlation continues to narrow.

As of 04/27/2015 @ 22:45 EST:

The Global Currency Scalper is watching and taking half a position in a correlation trade between AUD/USD & GBP/USD.

In the chart above you will see AUD/USD is the candlesticks, GBP/USD is the blue line and the yellow line is EUR/USD.  We will be ignoring EUR/USD for this trade.  The correlation we are targeting is exclusively between AUD/USD & GBP/USD.  As you can see during the past year the correlation between the two fluctuates between trading in parity to spreads as wide as 600 Pips.

Today this spread is approximately 200 Pips therefore we will be initiating 1/2 our position, this will allow us to get involved in the trade while waiting for the spread to widen.  Our position will be LONG AUD/USD and SHORT GBP/USD.  If we see a spread of 300 pips or more we will add the second half of our position.  If the spread narrows from our entry we will take the profit and move on to another trade.

This trade does not present the amount of risk a directional trade does and allows us to profit when the correlation narrows, and it will narrow.  Patients is needed with these trades and the Global Currency Scalper recommends not using high leverage as these trades can take many days or even a couple of weeks to work themselves out.  Not using high leverage will allow you to take your traditional directional trades while holding a correlation position.

New Signal NZD/USD


As of 04/26/2015 @ 21:30 EST

The Global Currency Scalper is watching NZD/USD for a potential big move, favoring the downside.  As you can see from the chart above this pair has been in a downtrend since August of 2014 although recently a bid has been found, indicated by the higher lows being set since early March of 2015.

The NZD/USD has also been setting lower highs as shown by the green line, these tops could prove to be too much to overcome and enable the shorts to prevail.  As the two trend-lines converge they are getting closer in distance, setting up for a powerful move.  The Global Currency Scalper is favoring the short side for this trade but we will be prepared to act with a breakout to the upside as well.

We have set alerts just below the green line and just above the red line to give us a price warning.  The Global Currency Scalper will be looking for a close below the red line or above the green line before taking action.  Since we are favoring a short trade we would like to see this pair close below 0.75500 as of today but as the days go by this price will rise along the red trend-line.

Also giving us confidence for a short trade is from the Fibonacci levels as shown on the chart below. As you can see this pair has retraced to the 38.2% level and has failed to maintain price action above it.  The NZD/USD has recently fallen from this Fibonacci level and could attempt to rollover in the coming days.  We could be in for a wait of a few days to a week or more as the apex on these charts in not until mid-May 2015.  But as these two lines converge the battle between buyers and sellers will eventually be won by either side creating a potentially strong move.  We could potentially see a 300 - 400 pip move.

The Global Currency Scalper will be looking to short with a close below 0.75500 with a stop of 0.77450 and a forecast of 0.71600.  As mentioned above we will also be open to taking a long position as soon as we get a close above the red trend-line.
