Biasing Your Breakout Trades
Summary:
Using forex technical analysis, one trading tip Forex Educator Jeremy Wagner brings is to bias or filter your breakout trades. That way, once a bias is established, then wait for your orders of the breakout strategy
to
trigger you in and out of the trades.
Bias your trades with forex analysis
Jeremy biases the current market toward
US Dollar
weakness as an example. This could bring the
EUR
,
GBP
and
AUD
to levels higher than most would anticipate. The bias Jeremy uses in this video is a trend towards US Dollar weakness over the coming days. Using the carry trade and the ability to earn interest on open trades, Jeremy focuses on the forex analysis of the
AUD/USD
which shows it may have completed a triangle pattern.
Set up your trade orders with the Donchian Channel Indicator
Wait for the market to hit your orders. The Donchian Channel Indicator helps frame the market to help you identify strategic price points to enter and exit trades. Jeremy illustrates how to use this simple indicator to frame the trade.
