As you probably know,
round numbers are strong support and resistance areas. These points
are very important in a chart because they may help us to identify a
strong breakout or breakdown.
You can use this strategy
in any timeframe and in any currency pair you prefer.
Rules Special Breakout
For Trading :
In this strategy we will
enter in breakouts or breakdowns, using round numbers. We will place
a buy order on the breakout, for example, at 1.8801 or 1.9001. We
will also set a 50 pips stop loss. In this strategy, the stop loss
isn’t rigid; we will use a trailing stop loss. For example, if your
entry order is at 1.8801, your initial stop loss order will be at
1.8750. When prices reach 1.8850, your stop loss will change to
1.8800, and so on. We will place a short sell order on the breakdown,
for example, at 1.7999 or 1.7599. In this case, we will also set a 50
pips stop loss.
We will also use a
trailing stop loss, like in the long side. If, for example, prices
reach 1.7950, your stop loss will change to 1.8000, and so on.
Entry: Buy GBP/USD at
1.7401
Stop Loss: 1.7350
Exit: 1.7550
Profit: 149 pips
In this GBP/USD 1 hour
chart, you can see that prices are approaching 1.7400. This price is
a round number. So, we will place a buy order at 1.7401, in the
breakout of this round number. We will also set a stop loss order at
1.7350. After entering the trade, the price continues to go up. So,
when it reaches 1.7450, you will move your stop loss to the breakeven
point, at 1.7400. The price continues to move up and when it touches
1.7500, you will move your stop loss once again, this time to 1.7450.
The price still continues to go up, and reaches 50 pips higher. It is
time to change your stop to 1.7500. The currency pair reaches now
1.7600 and your stop loss should go higher to 1.7550. At this point,
the currency pair stopped its uptrend and you got out at 1.7550 –
where your trailing stop loss was –, with 149 pips profit.
