On April 2, 2014, we received an Ichimoku 4 time frame Buy email alert on DX, US Dollar Index for the Futures market from www.ichimokutrade.com. Here is the email alert:
In the email above, two futures products where shown. We selected to put the trade on the Dollar Futures instead of Gold futures since DX was in the 2h and 4h time frame whereas Gold wasn’t. Gold was more a day trading opportunity whereas Dollar Index Futures is a day trading and a swing trading opportunity.
Dollar Futures has been consolidating for awhile. We are going to keep our risk low so we are going to setup for a pull back trade. Also, we want the ability to maximize on reward with a low risk so we are going to setup on a 2h time frame instead of a 60m. The entry is 80.276, initial stop of 80.221, and a preserve mode of 80.574. This would give us a min. reward of 0.298 and a max risk of 0.055. This would give us a min. reward/risk of 5:1 i.e 500%. The chart setup is show below.
The trade triggered and within the same 2h bar, it entered preserve mode too. The exit price was 80.605. We will continue to look for bullish trades for the Dollar futures since the 2h bullish trade was successful.
