Trading GBPUSD | Judas Swing Strategy 22/10/2024Last week was active for the Judas Swing strategy, with two positions on FX:GBPUSD resulting in wins (+4%), three positions on FX:EURUSD yielding one win and two losses (breaking even), three positions on FX:AUDUSD with one win and two losses (breaking even), and one position on OANDA:NZDUSD securing a win (+2%). Overall, this led to a 6% increase by the week's end. Encouraged by these results, we began the week with enthusiasm to discover what lay ahead. In keeping with our routine, we reached our trading desks at 08:25 EST and set up our trading zones. Once we have demarcated our zones, we should wait for the high or low of this zone to be swept, as this will assist us in determining our bias for the trading session. Twenty minutes later, the trading zone's low was swept, indicating that we should concentrate on looking for buying opportunities during this trading session. Although we may have a bias for the trading session, we do not enter buy trades indiscriminately. Instead, we wait for a break of structure towards the buy side. During this break of structure, the price movement should leave behind a Fair Value Gap (FVG), which will assist us in getting an entry point for the trade. Shortly after, we observed a Break of Structure (BOS) on the buy side, which resulted in a Fair Value Gap (FVG) being left behind. To fulfill all the entry criteria on our checklist, we must wait for price to retrace into the Fair Value Gap (FVG) that has formed, and we can only execute the trade once the candlestick has closed. The next five-minute candle has entered the Fair Value Gap (FVG), indicating that upon its closure, we may proceed with executing the trade. It's crucial to understand that by risking only 1% of our trading account for a potential 2% return, we minimize emotional attachment to the trades since we're only risking what we can afford to lose, and we stand to gain more than we risk. After executing the trade, our position immediately showed a profit. However, it's crucial to stay composed and manage our expectations, as we do not control the markets and the situation could swiftly change. After a few hours, we revisited the position and noticed it was still fluctuating around the same price point where we had previously left it. According to our data, we can anticipate being in a position for an average of 11 hours, so the duration of this trade meeting our objective is not a concern; we simply need to remain patient for it to occur. Upon reviewing the position once more, we noticed it continued to consolidate in the same area. However, according to our rules, we must wait for the position to either reach the Take Profit (TP) or Stop Loss (SL) point. Unfortunately, our patience did not yield the desired results this time, as the stop loss was triggered and we incurred a 1% loss of our trading account on this trade. However, this loss did not impact us significantly since we had already accepted the amount we were risking on the trade.

#GBPUSDRising Wedge Breakdown: The price is breaking down from a rising wedge pattern. Rising wedges are generally seen as bearish reversal patterns, especially when the breakdown occurs after a significant rally, which suggests a potential reversal of the uptrend. Fair Value Gap (FVG): The chart highlights an FVG (Fair Value Gap), which could indicate that price might have filled this inefficiency, signaling the potential start of a bearish move. After the FVG is filled, price often resumes its primary direction, in this case, downwards. Bearish Trendline Break: The price has either tested or broken below a key trendline that has supported price action for a significant period. A clear break below this trendline often leads to further downside as the market turns more bearish. Projection of Bearish Momentum: The red arrow drawn on the chart suggests a projected significant downward move, with a potential target far below the current price level, reinforcing the bearish outlook. Given these technical factors, the chart suggests that the pair might be due for a correction or a more extended downtrend. A short position could be considered if price continues to break down below support levels and confirms the wedge breakdown. Proper risk management is essential in case of a reversal.

Since the price is forming near the support level, there is potential for a rebound. However, if it breaks below the 1.29000 level, further declines to the 1.26000 level are expected. A rise toward the highs may occur within this range. We will quickly adjust our strategy if movements differ from expectations.

GBP/USD Reversal AlertGBP/USD has reached its weekly resistance level, forming a bearish divergence alongside an almost double-top pattern, signaling potential downside pressure. While the U.S. dollar may exhibit temporary bullish momentum, contributing to a potential reversal in GBP/USD, caution is advised as the ABCD pattern remains incomplete. Traders should be mindful of this incomplete formation and manage risk appropriately when considering a reversal trade.
