EURUSD Long
EUR/USD Trading Plan
Currency Pair: EUR/USD
Capital: $100
Price Point: 1.10756
Technical Analysis Overview
Trend Direction:
The EUR/USD is currently in an uptrend as indicated by the higher levels of the moving averages (especially the 10-period and 20-period EMAs) compared to longer-term averages (50-period and 100-period SMAs). Additionally, the Hull Moving Average (HMA) at 1.10907 is above the current price, confirming a bullish momentum.
The RSI (14) at 72.61715 is in the overbought territory, suggesting strong bullish momentum but cautioning that the pair could be overextended.
The ADX (14) at 33.73044 shows a trend strength that is moderate, indicating that the current trend has a reasonable strength, though not overwhelmingly strong.
Oscillator Analysis:
Stochastic %K (14, 3, 3) at 92.03525 is also in overbought territory, signaling a potential for a pullback or consolidation before the uptrend continues.
MACD is positive, with the level at 0.00294, indicating ongoing bullish momentum.
Commodity Channel Index (CCI) at 110.16571 is also above 100, reinforcing the overbought condition, yet still supportive of a bullish bias.
Williams Percent Range at -10.52166 supports the overbought condition, suggesting that price may face resistance soon but is not a clear signal for reversal yet.
Support and Resistance Levels:
The nearest pivot resistance level is R1 at 1.10793, which aligns closely with the current price point of 1.10756, making it a key level to watch.
The support level is at S1 (1.09418) and the pivot point (P) is at 1.09946, which could serve as the next major support if the price retraces.
Trading Strategy
Given the analysis above, we aim to capitalize on the bullish trend but with caution due to overbought signals from multiple oscillators.
1. Entry Point:
Buy Limit at 1.10550:
This level is slightly below the current price and close to the 10-period EMA (1.10563), which should provide a good entry in case of a minor pullback. This level allows entry at a more favorable price while remaining aligned with the overall uptrend.
2. Take Profit Level:
Take Profit at 1.11300:
This is slightly below R2 (1.11321), a reasonable target within the existing uptrend without being overly ambitious. The price may reach this level before facing significant resistance or retracement.
3. Stop Loss Level:
Stop Loss at 1.09900:
This level is just below the pivot point (1.09946) and the 20-period EMA (1.10324). This stop level helps to minimize losses if the trade goes against the plan, breaking key support areas.
4. Position Sizing:
Given the capital of $100, risk management is crucial.
Risk per trade = 1% of capital = $1.
Stop Loss distance: 1.10550 (Entry) - 1.09900 (Stop Loss) = 0.00650 (65 pips).
Position size: ($1) / (65 pips) = $0.015 per pip.
For a standard lot (100,000 units), 1 pip is worth $10, so we need to trade 0.0015 lots (which corresponds to 150 units). However, since micro-lots (1,000 units) are typically the smallest available, the trade would involve 0.001 lots. This keeps risk within acceptable limits.
Rationale
Trend Confirmation: The trend is clearly bullish, supported by the moving averages and MACD. Despite overbought conditions, there's enough trend strength (as indicated by the ADX) to justify a long position.
Entry and Exit: Entry at a pullback level near 1.10550 allows for a favorable risk-reward setup while take profit at 1.11300 is conservative enough to ensure profits before potential heavy resistance.
Risk Management: A 1% risk level ensures the trade is within a manageable range relative to the account size, with the stop-loss placed strategically to prevent larger losses in case of a reversal.
Conclusion
This trading plan seeks to leverage the current uptrend in EUR/USD while managing risk carefully through strategic entry, exit, and position sizing. The setup is designed to capture gains within the ongoing bullish momentum, yet it acknowledges the potential for a pullback due to overbought signals.
