Near-sure-fire FX trading tactic

November 28, 2005 by Trader Rich 

Funny I just mentioned this yesterday but in an interview with Barbara Rockefeller, she states that a "near-sure-fire FX trading tactic is to watch a breakout move in the London morning get transformed into a second breakout move in the New York morning… will probably be repeated in the Asian time zone."

Example:

USD/JPY has major move at 11 a.m. this morning New York time.  London traders then exit the market and take a profit between 12 noon and 1 pm New York time.  Then the move comes back and surges lower between 1 pm and 3 pm New York time.  New York traders then exit the market with profit taking between 4 pm and now.  She states that, "If the moves comes back and surges to a higher high by 1:30 pm, when the US market is winding down, then you know it has legs of its own and will probably be repeated in the Asian time zone."

So from this I would think that during the Asian time zone this evening, the USD will be pounded yet again..

    Actually, it did not. If I remember correctly, I was watching closely during the Asian session to see if it would emulate the previous 2 but to no avail, her “sure-fire” failed.
