A brief of today's updates:

-> GBPUSD will go short on close below 1.5975
-> AUDUSD sell-off moves the pair away from potential long signal
-> AUDNZD - no long signal due to pattern - awaiting further developments

The AUDNZD pair actually saw a new long signal, but this signal was not taken as past history has shown that taking signals that come at the end of a very long recent move  that is effectively a sharp consolidation of a previous large trend (AUDNZD has rallied after a massive previous sell-off) results in a very low success rate. A long position can be established if the pair remains supported for another three days and then continues higher. To the downside, if AUDNZD sells off below 1.2590 as soon as today, it would signal a fresh short signal that could be taken.

About the Saxo Bank TrendSnagger Model

The TrendSnagger trading model is designed to capture FX trends. Unlike one-dimensional trend-following models that attempt only to maximize exposure during well-defined trends, this model applies a set of pattern recognition and other rules that are overlaid on the trend following rules to take partial profits at pro-trend extremes and to limit draw-downs, depending on the context. The model is rules based. The basic entries are strictly defined and the stop levels are absolute, although there is some room for discretion on the profit-taking side.



The FX Trend Snagger Model is one of 4 trading models on TradingFloor.com which are tried and tested with an actual funded trading account from Saxo Bank. Also see Turtle Model, Momentum Allocation Model and BottomFisher Model
