An intraday trade zone on EURUSD using standard deviationI calculate the zone by using implied volatility from the futures to solve for a one standard deviation price range. Then multiply that by 1.5 for the bottom and .75 for the top of the zone. To pick direction I simply use the Ichimoku Kinko Hyo. When the price is above the kumo I'm short, when its below the kumo I'm long. The success rate should hover around 50% but you'll find that your average wins is normally bigger than your average losses. I close it at the end of the New York session.

Ichimoku entry XRAYthis one's a little weird on the ichimoku front, as the base and conversion lines shared values ever since earnings, but it does count as a cross when it popped over today. Meanwhile there's a lot to like about this chart; nice boost after earnings that persisted without giving back ground, and now momentum is building behind it (i think this is what Ichi is finding here). So if not a pop, it looks like most likely we'll see steady upward creep, which we don't mind harvesting for a few days. We'll hope to get out around $64
