I posted my outlook on this pair, the NZD/JPY, but I wanted to address a methodology I talked about in Debarghya's thread. It is also very simple to assimilate, and it works. It involves a MA, and the stochastics. Personally, I do not like the usage of MA's that sell e-books and look good on the chart after the fact. I like the practical usage where they show you the market direction in advance. So, here's the deal:
1. Look for when the candle has drifted further than normal away from the MA. "Further than normal" can be checked with the history. Another way to do it is plot your grids on the chart, then count the number of horizontal grid it has drifted.
2. Check the stochastics. Make sure they are ideally OB or OS and ready to cross, or preferably crossed already.
3. Enter the trade, such as what I did as seen on the chart.
4. Watch price action on the reversal. Minimum expectation should be the MA getting hit. If initial price action is strong, then the MA should be taken out.
This is the daily chart, and the white line is the MA. This trade should be good for circa 300 pips.
I have been experimenting a lot with the 9,3,4 stochastic, which is why it is plotted on my chart.
This trade was actually made based on what I saw through the eyes of my methodology. Longer term, it should be headed much lower. Nevertheless, the stochastic--MA connection is worth watching and confirming on your own.
