SELL GBPAUD: STRAT TRADE - 5 Days up P=98.78% 6TH DAY LOWER

405
GBPAUD:

1. SterlingKiwi has been aggressively bid higher for the last 5-days on the back of sterling data outperforming last week, broad aussie weakness and a general recovery from lows.

2. Statistically, after analysing the last 16.5yrs of data it shows the probability of a 6th day or more of buying is 1.22% which means there is an implied 98.78% chance that we move higher today - I like these odds so will add a short here.

- If we were to see another day of buying, a 6th day, then the probability of a 7th day is even better on the sell-side odds of 99.45% so i will add to shorts if this is the case - the max number of buying days in GBPAUD has been 10 once and 9 3 times.

3. Plus aussie 30 bill rates firmed up on monday implying only a 5% chance of a september cut down from 8% of the past week, and sterling OIS rates came off from fridays rally after the market decided to fade last weeks data.

- Also we have found some technical price resistance at the 1.72 handle so being short here makes sense.

Trading strategy - GBPAUD Sell @1.721:

1. Short GBPAUD pretty much at market TP should be 100pips lower at the 1.711 level.

2. Also check my previous post of short gbpnzd into rallies at 1.81 and GBPUSD into 1.315-32
Note
UPDATE:

1. Just wanted to add a little "trade tracker" since its a strat im trying.

2. So far this strat is 2/2 with DXY long and eur$ short on friday both TP after 50consecutive days - like this trade.
Note
Update:

1. Also to explain this strat some more - the profit taking is capped at the daily close... if profit isnt hit by day bar close, you TP on the close DO NOT leave the trade open into the next day.

- if the trade is in loss - you close the trade on the close of the daily bar and ADD another short as the odds of a 7th day higher is 99.3% (even higher than a 6th day obviously).
Note
Update:

1. 6th day higher confirmed - here at 1.733 i will add, P=0.5% of a 7th day higher implying 99.5% chance of reversing lower today based on the last 16.5yrs of data or 4500days.
Note
Update:

1. Todays lows to 0.720 confirmed the trade as a net winner of 100pips+.
