Trading with 5m Force strategy, Day 19

I have to go to work today. So I'll get little cance to monitor the market. As usual, start with the Tokyo open.?

?Price was just moving sideways staying below the daily pivot. No trade opportunity found. But just after the London open price started to move up and down.?

?These price fluctuation can be utlized if the position can be taken at right time with tight s/l. More than 2 hours after the London opent price suddenly started to move north without giving any hints.

Price then started to move downwards gradually untli NY session opens. After NY open there were following news scheduled to get published. NY open was at 7:00 pm (+6:00 GMT) and news time was 7:30 pm. See that happens there. First news:?

?Now see the news impact:

After news release price rallied downwards. If a short entry could be done at second candle following news release, more than 60 pips could be gained. I missed the time. I came after the rally has been faded away. I had no other opportunity here.

After that I traded with other pairs (GBP/USD, EUR/JPY) with other strategies. I'll let you know about these later.

Trading with 5m Force strategy, Day 18

Today, Price tested both the daily pivot and weekly pivot. It was somewhat expected as there was multiple high impact news were scheduled to release. Initially in the morning today after Tokyo open, price started to move sideways.

?Actully on this sideways movement, price was slowly moving up towards the daily pivot line. Few bars before the London open price gave a valid long signal.

Today I decided not to open before London session open. I'll just watch what happens. Price nicely went up. Price bounced on the DR1 and started to fall back.

Figure 03: EURUSD, 5m chart.

Price nicely rallied down more than 35 pips. Then price on its downward movement, started to create higher lows. There a good long signal was being developed. I missed the former short signal. But I watched the long position to collect nice 15 pips slowly.

?Price was now approaching NY open. Before and after the NY open there was scheduled news release. That's why long position needed to be closed. I've marked the news and NY open time with vertical line.

?
"EUR minimum bid rate" was schedulede to release 15 minutes before the NY open.

?Price sharply moved down. After the 5m news bar, price slow went down and started to make higher lows to give a long signal. As high impact news was coming, I refrained from entering any position. I'll trade these later. Now just watching.??

??Here I want to show some interesting thing. First the current issue. I shifted the vertical line 1 candle back to show the movement range after the release of news about USD trade balance and unemployment claims. Price initally showed a fake movement downwards more than 20 pips. Then price moved upwards more than 35 pips on the same candle. Second thing I want to show you is the news event before the NY open.Look that news event during it's release, produced a good sell signal by the force 5m system.

Now see the dollar index and where price moved afterwards.?
