AUDUSD Swing Trade That Made 1280 Pips in 12 Days

AUDUSD and EURUSD are heavily correlated pairs. Correlation between AUDUSD and EURUSD pairs is more than 80% most of the time. What this means is that if you are trading EURUSD and EURUSD is going up, you will invariably find AUDUSD also going up. And if you find EURUSD going down, you will also find AUDUSD going down. Now just like EURUSD, AUDUSD moves slow. This is good for swing trading. When you open a trade, you don’t have to worry that the market will reverse suddenly. Let’s discuss AUDUSD swing trade that made 1000 pips in 12 days. Take a look at the following screenshot!

AUDUSD H4 Chart

Do you see the red arrow on the above screenshot and the inverted hammer candlestick pattern. This is the signal for the start of the downtrend. We enter into a short trade. Our entry is 0.81238 just when the candle closes and the stop loss is 0.81655. So our risk is 42 pips. We make another entry at 0.80395 and the move the stop loss to breakeven at 0.81238. The first position is now risk free while the second position has a huge cushion of around 100 pips.

We again open a new position at 0.80215 and move the stop loss to breakeven at 0.80395. Now we have first 2 positions risk free and the third position has a small risk of 18 pips. Now take a look at the following AUDUSD daily chart.
