S/R on Minor Forex Pairs and Crosses

Recommended Posts

I've recently been trading the major forex futures (6E, 6J, 6B, 6A), and have been pleasantly impressed with the quality of trends, as well as their respect of important S/R lines.

 

Having started looking at spot forex, I realized that the number of currencies and crosses available for trading is quite extraordinary. The liquidity seems a bit thin on some, but probably sufficient for longer term trading on 1D and 1H timeframes.

 

I am curious, for those of you that have experience with a broader range of currencies, are there any minor currencies & crosses that are worth trading? By "worth trading", I mean that they respect horizontal S/R lines and MAs, and have good volatility / tendency to trend.

Hi Blueberrycake.

 

I have found that while many of the crosses may have a reasonable liquidity, often the cost of doing business ie: spreads make the risk reward a bit hard to achieve compared to the range of the pair that day.

 

I found a very useful indicator that will let you know if it is worth trading a particular currency.

 

You can see it on the attached chart on the top right.

Basically any spread percentage under 5% is worth a look, but over 3% is really getting too expensive.

 

That particular indicator is not mine, but Hector has a great explanation of it at the following link.

I can't remember if I had to sign up or not to get it but I did and he has some very cool info on his site.

You asked two different questions ... trend/volatility and respect for S&R.

 

IM experience the likes of EJ and GJ can offer excellent trend/volatility even applying brooky's spread/averange test to determine costs. But S&R is determined on the majors as that is what the money is watching so you need to look at EU, UJ and GU while trading them to find "valid" S&R areas. Often they will appear to work - but generally that occurs when the majors hit S&R at the same time.

    • Question: To those that had/have cancer, what were the signs that made you think “something is not right here” to make you go see a doctor? Answer: So, 5/25/2018, I woke up, got ready for work, and as I walked to my car, I started gagging. Like something was stuck in my throat and I needed to clear it. And then it went away.   But 10 minutes after that, I was T-boned at 40mph on the driver side door. But what made me see a doctor was while my muscles felt better and bruises were going away, the gagging still continued, I started having fevers, my neck felt swollen, I was having such a hard time breathing, and I'd have random sharp pains in my chest, but not from where the seat belt saved me.   2 weeks after the accident, I finally see an urgent care doctor, who looks me over, tells me I'm fine, but luckily requests a neck X-ray. And I ask for a chest X-ray, which he rolls his eyes but let me have (most of my pain was in the neck, so I understand).   The very next day, he calls and says “So, that chest X-ray shows there's a 4 inch mass on your heart and lungs, and your lungs have been filling up with fluid, as well as in your pericardial (heart) wall. We need you to come in tomorrow.”   Turns out the big mass, due to the accident, caused my heart and lungs to tear and fill with fluid, the swollen neck and gagging was caused by 2 metastasized tumors, and the fevers and weight loss were symptoms. Stage 4b Hodgkin's Lymphoma.   But thankfully, we went very aggressive with chemo (and had a lot of bad side effects that don't normally happen to patients), and now I'm about 16 months cancer-free. Yay lucky X-rays!
