A Simple but Effective USDTRY Trading StrategyThe USDTRY pair tends to be extremely volatile, and hence it brings many scalping opportunities.
On the sell side, and on the hourly chart, you need to keep an eye on EMA-200, EMA-25, trading volume, its MA, and a few important points of time during the day. Zoom into the chart.
By 7:00 AM UTC (sometimes 8:00 AM), a significant trading volume spike above its MA line usually occurs and is followed by consolidation above the EMA-25 ahead of breaching it. By breaching the EMA-25, USDTRY usually breaks significantly below the EMA-200. A trader may enter a sell position as the USDTRY breaches the EMA-25 and close their position after nearly 4,000 ticks below the closing price of the 7:00 AM candle.
On the buy side, the move tends to be much faster. After that long bearish candle that breaks below the EMA-200, a long bullish candle usually forms with an opening price that is nearly identical to the closing price of that bearish candle. This bullish candle usually forms between 21:00-23:00. This move usually targets the EMA-25, about 4,000-8,000 ticks above the opening price of the bullish candle.
These strategies above seem to be intuitive for many traders. However, the previous patterns are usually followed by a significant amount of volatility. So, prudent risk management must be taken into account.
I would appreciate your opinion and I would be very thankful if you can cheer my account up a little :)
