Magic Bands Scalp Trading Strategy as at November 23, 2014

The Magic Bands Scalp trading strategy will do well again this week for trend traders who are patient enough to find a trending market.

The tip off to a trade entry for this system is the crossing of the 15 BB and the 50 BB.

Probably a trader will want to have several charts open so as to be able to be in the market as different  currency pairs are trending at different times throughout the trading day

I have three charts below from Friday past.


















Entries are best in the Magic Bands scalp system when there is a slope to the trend lines, the Bollinger Bands.

Personally I do my best to avoid the choppy periods with no slope to the lines..... I have had terrible experiences trading in chop. lol


Good Trading..!

Magic Bands Scalp Trading Strategy As As November 21, 2014

There was good volatility in the Forex markets today and some excellent opportunities using this simple strategy.

Let's review a couple charts.

First is AUDUSD, you can see a nice move up and then a gradual move down, two simple entries for profit.





Next is EURGBP. There was a nice bearish entry and then another on a retrace. It is important to  be sure that there is a slope on the 15 Bollinger Band and preferably on both sets of Bollinger Bands. This will keep you out of the chop.



GBPUSD. There were a couple bear entries, the second one being after a retrace. Once those two were finished, the next couple  of the potential entries were suspect based on the slope of the BB lines.




I have several more charts below, that you can observe..... note that the best entries have a good slope on the Bollinger Bands.








USDCHF Once the long move finishes the Bollinger Bands flatten out.. close the trade and look for another trade, avoid consolidations and ranging markets with this system. There are many opportunities daily with this system on different currency pairs




On the AUDCHF, once the price retraces to the 50 Bollinger Bands, it is time to get out of this pair and look for another pair to trade. There is no value to trading in the choppy market, it usually ends up in a loss.





CADCHF  Once the long entry retraces.... get out of this pair and look for another entry on another pair...  Stay away from the consolidation periods!





As mentioned, most important is the slope of the Bollinger Bands. There are enough entries available on different pairs that we can pick and choose and be selective as to the entries we take.

In order to be able monitor several pairs for trade opportunity I have a moving average crossover alert set for the 15 crossing the 50, That allows me to be aware of what is happening on different currency pairs as the day passes.

Again, a stop loss is important in this type of trading, I use a trailing stop as well.

Next week we will probably see more volatility in the markets and many resultant opportunities for this simple trading strategy.


Good Trading..!!

Using the Magic Bands Trading Strategy on Daily Charts


The Magic Bands trading strategy canbe applied to daily or weekly charts as well as scalping charts.


Itneeds only a minor change which is not completely necessary. There isanother indicator called the 'ribbon' which adds a bit of colour tothe chart as well as denoting momentum. The ribbon expands asmomentum builds and that may be useful for some traders as theyinspect their charts to look for entries.

The chart may also be enhanced by theGator oscillator which shows the momentum, that is optional and isnot necessary to use this trading system effectively.


Of course, on a longer chart a personwill want to include a trailing stop as the position may last forseveral days or weeks as shown in the USDJPY chart below. You can seethat the long entry lasted for several weeks.





Here is a chart of the Dax Index and on it you can see some great entries as that index has been climbing steadily for several months until this past summer. Once again this simple trading strategy has been able to bring significant profits with a minimum of maintenance to the portfolio.






There are many Forex pairs and Stocks and Indexes that have long trends and are quite well suited to this trading strategy. It requires only a few minutes a day to review a sizable portfolio to do what ever maintenance and entries are required.

To locate instruments that may be suitable for this type of system a person needs only do a scan for trending stocks or currency pairs and there are many to choose from. Probably those with some volatility would appeal to many investors.

The indicator settings  can be found on this page Magic Bands Scalp Trading Strategy along with some other information.

One more chart that I have here for you to glance at is that of Sweet Light Crude, you can easily see that a trend following  strategy would have reaped excellent profits in the past eighteen months.





Be sure to use a trailing stop with this system as the markets are completely unpredictable.

Good Trading..!
