NZD/USD Analysis

Nice pinbar setup on the daily timeframe for this pair. Only thing i see against this setup is lower time frame momentum is slightly in favour of the bears but i see a confluence of bullish signals which i fancy and it seems as if the lower timeframes possibly need a breather

Reasons to go long:

- Bullish pinbar candle on Daily
- Bounce off 7970 support which was previous resistance
- Main trend on daily chart is up
- The close of the daily bar is around 50% retrace from the 16th May low

Order to open: 8021 (50% retrace of daily candle)
STOP: 7962
LIMIT: 8198

RISK/REWARD 3/1

  1. Broke up very nicely today after triggering near the 50% retrace mark

    Stop moved to b/e so this is now a free trade

  2. Today we had a steep drop 8043 before retracing most of the losses to develop a nice looking bullish pinbar. Todays pinbar is also within the highs and lows of the previous day making this a inside bar adding more weight to gains to the upside. Still in the trade and stop at b/e

  3. This trade came within 4 pips of hitting its limit yesterday before falling away on fears of the Greece situation. However, its looks like a deal on Greece looks to have been reached and we rallied back up with a nice bounce off 8ma and 8090 support

  4. Got stopped out at b/e. Bit disappointing considering i was 4 pips from my target but the Greece news stepped in and made the US dollar stronger. I can take positives out of this that im reading these price action setups more correctly

  5. Talk about being unlucky with this one, blew through my limit today!!! Moving stops is a tricky game to play. If id left it where it was, id have made profit but i was over 100pips up so i felt i had to move to b/e. Putting this down to plain bad luck
