Trading Spikes in FOREX market
Some of you may have been confused with the price action after yesterday's US inflation report.
As explained the reason for a stronger US dollar is that traders now expect the central bank to increase the interest rates more and more to fight inflation which makes USD more attractive.
Many of you probably are searching to find the best trading setup for a situation like this.
I am talking about FOREX mainly. (We do not have any in our portfolio at this stage )
My suggestion is, do not trade big price actions on short time frames like 5 min. It is better to look at daily or at least 4H charts.
Be careful, if you look at any FOREX chart for USD pairs on 5min or 4h at this time you will see a big outstanding candle in favor of the USD but if you wait for confirmation on daily charts then you can enter the market safely.
The candle at this stage is not a spike it is mostly a big candle with no or small shadow. If you look at longer time frames and observe them for a few days depending on the next fundamental news you may see spikes with shadows. You should wait for the candle after the one with a shadow and if that is in opposite direction then open a trade. By doing this you have waited enough for the first part of the volatility and you have entered a trade safely.
Yes, you may think that you could enter at the bottom of the candle before you see the shadow or the next candle to have more profit. My suggestion is to stay safe and ignore that profit.

Vertical Horizontal Filter
I normally do not use this indicator for signals. Instead I am using this to recognise the trend as a confirmation for my signals.
- Rising values confirms continuation of a trend. (Uptrend or downtrend)
- Falling values indicate a ranging market.
- High values: Potentially end of a trend.
- Low values: Maybe start of a trend.

Ultimate Oscillator
Buying Pressure (BP) = Current Close – Minimum (Current Low or Previous Close)
Ultimate Oscillator = 100 x [(4 x Cycle1) + (2 x Cycle2) + Cycle3]
/ (4 + 2 + 1)
Calculation
If:
·
Cycle 1=7
·
Cycle 2=14
·
Cycle 3=28
Then:
Ultimate Oscillator = 100 x [(4 x Average7) + (2 x
Average14) + Average28] / (4 + 2 + 1)
Overbought and oversold signals:
In an
uptrend:
Buy when the indicator rise above oversold line.
In a
downtrend:
Sell when the indicator falls below the overbought line.
Divergence signals:
Buy signal normally at the end of a downtrend: Wait for the bullish divergence in the market. This
means, the price should make a lower low, but the indicator should display a
higher low.
Sell signal normally at the end of an uptrend: Wait for the bearish divergence. This means, the
price should make a higher high, but the indicator should display a lower high.

Time Series Forecast Indicator (TSF)
The Time Series Forecast tries to calculate a best-fit line over a specified time period using Linear Regression. This line is then plotted forward for a user-defined time period.
I use this in an identical way as I use 2 moving average indicators.
- Moving average has more delays.
- TFS also tries to forecast the price.

Price Oscillator Strategy
The Price Oscillator uses two moving averages.
✔ One shorter-period, and one longer-period.
✔ When 2 MAs cross each other the PO reads 0.
The Price Oscillator technical indicator can show overbought and oversold areas.
Strategy: Only go long in an uptrend. Only go short in a downtrend
Uptrend strategy: Look for an oversold situation to open a buy position. Close when get to overbought then close some more when crossing back to the zero line.
Downtrend strategy: Look for an overbought situation to open a sell position. Close when get to oversold then close some more when crossing back to the zero line.

High Minus Low indicator (HML)
Recognise the volatile market.
Figure out the trend direction.
Open your new positions.
HML indicator simply plots the difference between high and low.
High readings mean we are in a trendy market.
Low readings mean we are moving sideways in a range.
My strategy:
✔Combine this with a volume indicator (Like Accumulation/Distribution Indicator)
✔High reading HML and increasing volume mean we are in an uptrend.
✔High reading HML and decreasing volume mean we are in a downtrend.
