Trading the GBP/USD "London Breakout" Strategy with Nadex Spreads

If you are an early riser or can't trade during normal market hours, here's a trade that can make some very nice money for you as you head out the door to work. You might even find it worth setting your alarm clock for this one.

Every weekday morning at 3:00am EDT, The London Financial Markets open. The London Exchange is the busiest financial exchange, and a huge volume of transactions are processed when the market opens. 3am is also the final hour of the Tokyo exchange.

The sheer volume of transactions often results in a steep upward or downward spike in the GBP and its associated currency pairs. This is also compounded when Economic news is released out of the UK, usually at 4:30am.

Many trading strategies have been developed around the London Open, but Josh Martinez does a very nice job of explaining how to regularly capture 50 pips on the London Breakout Strategy. Full text of this highly consistent  Forex strategy can be found in Trading Outside Normal Hours, a free eBook from TradingPub.

I decided to use a modified version of Josh's methodology to trade the "London Breakout" strategy using Nadex Spreads. My profit target was 50 pips, which was achieved effortlessly.

Nadex Spreads resemble traditional Futures and Forex trades, with a few differences that I consider to be advantages:

1. Your risk is defined. You know exactly what your maximum loss or gain is per trade.
2. You cannot get stopped-out as long as your trade is active. If the market moves against you briefly, your trade is still alive, unless you decide to exit the trade.
3. Your maximum risk is your margin. In many cases, your risk is substantially less than the margin your broker holds in reserve on Forex trades.
4. No broker commissions, no middlemen. With Nadex, your orders are placed directly on the exchange, and there's a $.90 cent (per side) exchange fee charged per contract.
5. You are not trading against your broker. As an exchange, Nadex matches your opinion on the direction with someone who has an opposing viewpoint. Nadex collects $.90 cent per side in exchange fees to facilitate the transaction.

Today's "London Breakout" Trade with Nadex Spreads

How do Nadex Spreads Work?

Nadex spreads put a "box" around a trade. The floor and the ceiling of the box represent the maximum price range of the box. The left wall is the start of the trade, and the right wall is the expiration time for the trade.

To trade a Nadex spread, you simply follow these steps:

1. Determine the direction you think the market will be going
2. Select a strike price of your choosing
3. If  you SELL a spread, the number of pips between your strike price and the CEILING of the box will be your maximum risk. The number of pips between your strike price and the FLOOR is your maximum profit.
4. If  you BUY a spread, the number of pips between your strike price and the FLOOR of the box will be your maximum risk. The number of pips between your strike price and the CEILING is your maximum profit.

I haven't done much with Nadex spreads in the past, but lately I have been devoting considerable practice time trading them. With each trade, I am refining my technique, and I like what I'm seeing.

Today I chose a 800 pip spread with a daily expiration.  I traded 1 contract, with a maximum risk of $410 to make a maximum of $390. Each pip is worth $1.00 and my profit target was 50 pips, just the way Josh teaches his method for trading the London Breakout Strategy.

The "London Breakout" Strategy in a Nutshell

• The Low or High of the day will be revealed between 2am-5am EDT the great majority of the time, when the London Market opens.
• The corresponding High or Low will be established between 8am-2pm after the opening of the New York financial markets.

Think of it like a see-saw. If the High of the day is established between 2am-5am, then the rest of the day will be on a downtrend. If the Low of the day is established between 2am-5am, then the rest of the day will be on an uptrend. If you can spot the low or high of the day during the morning session, then you have an opportunity to pick up 50 pips or more quite frequently.

I am grossly oversimplifying this trading strategy. To get full details of the "London Breakout" strategy, it is well worth your while to download Trading Outside Normal Hours. Also take time to watch the video I have attached below which fully explains the strategy.

 Here's how the "London Breakout" Strategy trade played out on July 23, 2015:

From 2am-4pm, the GBP/USD was grinding upward, but there was no way I was going to make a decision about placing a trade until the UK Retail Economic Reports were released at 4:30 am. Here were the results of the news:

Courtesy of Investing.com

As you can see from the chart above, the market plummeted within 2 minutes of this bearish news. I did not have the reaction time or dexterity to catch that free fall. But I was convinced that that the high of the day had been established and the rest of the day would be downhill. The market tried to retrace upward a little bit for about an hour.

I made the decision to SELL at 6:54 EDT, when the market started to look like it was going to keep going down. The market moved sideways going into the 8am New York open. When the New York markets opened. The downward momentum created at 4:30 spilled over into the New York session picking up 50 pips in 45 minutes on a free fall. I decided not to exit the trade just then, to see if the market had further room to fall. The market retraced briefly, then started falling again. This time I exited for a 51 pip profit.  The trade picked up $51 per contract, less $1.80 in exchange fees.

If I had equalized this trade with a Standard Lot Forex trade, I would have traded 10 contracts, nd each pip  would have been worth $10, for a $510 profit, less $18.00 in exchange fees.

Conclusion

I have a lot of work to do with Nadex Spreads, but they have definitely gotten my attention. I know it's a very common trading adage to cut your losses short and let your winners run. Today, I stubbornly kept to a predetermined trading plan and picked up 51 pips. I could have picked up 70 pips, but a plan is a plan.

Trading the DAX "Strudel" Strategy with Nadex Spreads

Every morning, I trade the the 7am-9am Germany 30 (DAX) strategy with Nadex binary options. I call it the "Strudel" strategy, because it's a delicious breakfast trade. This strategy was based on the observation from Tom Busby, a veteran Futures trader who observed that the 7am EST hourly candlestick of the Germany 30 (DAX) Index is a pivot point that determines the direction of that market for the following hour a great majority of the time.

The rules for the strategy are remarkably simple:

• Select the 7am-9am EST Nadex time period for the Germany 30 (DAX) Index.
• If the 7am EST hourly candlestick is BULLISH, then BUY a Nadex Binary Options contract(s) at the first Nadex strike price available BELOW the opening price of hourly candlestick.
• If the 7am EST hourly candlestick is BEARISH, then SELL a Nadex Binary Options conrtact(s) at the first Nadex strike price available ABOVE the opening price of hourly candlestick.

This strategy has been remarkably consistent. Over the past 60+ trading days, this pattern has repeated itself about 90 percent of the time. Just be patient and watch the 7am hourly candlestick develop. Once it's confirmed bullish, then buy. If it's confirmed bearish, then sell. If you want to be "super-safe", don't make a trading decision until 8am, after the 7am hourly candlestick has closed.

I have traded this strategy exclusively with Nadex Binary Options since August 2014. But recently, I have taken a closer look at trading this strategy with Nadex Spreads.

Nadex Spreads resemble traditional Futures and Forex trades, with a few differences that I consider to be advantages:

1. Your risk is defined. You know exactly what your maximum loss or gain is per trade.
2. You cannot get stopped-out as long as your trade is active. If the market moves against you briefly, your trade is still alive, unless you decide to exit the trade.
3. Your maximum risk is your margin. If you want to equalize a Nadex trade with a Standard Lot Forex contract, you don't have to put up thousands to cover the margin requirements. In today's trade, 10 Nadex contracts were sold, making each pip worth $10, just like Forex. Instead of putting up over $2,000 in margin requirement, only $700 was withheld to make a maximum of $1,300.
4. No broker commissions, no middlemen. With Nadex, your orders are placed directly on the exchange, and there's a $.90 cent (per side) exchange fee charged per contract.

Today's "Strudel" Trade with Nadex Spreads

4 Hour Nadex Chart. Click on Chart to Enlarge

Nadex spreads put a "box" around a trade. The floor and the ceiling of the box represent the maximum price range of the box. The left wall is the start of the trade, and the right wall is the expiration time for the trade.

To trade a Nadex spread, you simply follow these steps:

1. Determine the direction you think the market will be going
2. Select a strike price of your choosing
3. If  you SELL a spread, the number of pips between your strike price and the CEILING of the box will be your maximum risk. The number of pips between your strike price and the FLOOR is your maximum profit.
4. If  you BUY a spread, the number of pips between your strike price and the FLOOR of the box will be your maximum risk. The number of pips between your strike price and the CEILING is your maximum profit.

I haven't done much with Nadex spreads in the past, but after today's trade, I plan to devote more time to practicing with them.

I chose a 200 point spread and wanted to trade 10 contracts to get the same leverage as a Standard Lot Forex trade, where 1 point = $10.  The market was on a downtrend, so I decided to SELL during the 7am EDT Hour, consistent with the strategy I usually use when I trade the "Strudel" Strategy with Binary Options. If the 7am hourly candlestick is developing Bullish, then BUY. If it is developing Bearish, then SELL.

When I entered the trade to SELL after Bearish confirmation, the Nadex Spread I selected offered $700 maximum risk, for $1,300 maximum profit. Before placing the trade, I was prepared to take a $150 loss if the trade moved against me, and I had a $200 profit target. Here's how the trade played out:

5 minute Nadex Chart. Click on Chart to Enlarge.

The trade was placed at 7:40am EDT, and the market started grinding downward. Within 30 minutes, I had picked up about 15 pips, or $150. I was well on my way to my $200 profit goal. At 8:30, the market moved from a 20 pip gain back to a 15 pip gain. Was this a temporary retracement, or was it a reversal?  At 8:40, I exited the trade for a 22 pip gain, or $220.

That's the good news. I had a plan and I stuck to it. I reached my profit goal and exited the trade.

The bad news is the market kept diving after I exited with a vengeance, all the way through the floor of the spread box. If I would have let the trade run, I could have exited at 10:50am for the maximum $1,300 reward. I left $1,100 on the table. And that will buy a lot of Strudels.

Conclusion

I have a lot of work to do with Nadex Spreads, but they have definitely gotten my attention. I know it's a very common trading adage to cut your losses short and let your winners run. Today, I stubbornly kept to a predetermined trading plan, and never gave the trade the opportunity to run. I'm not beating myself up about this, but it will be interesting to see how I adapt my trading plan to take advantage of these opportunities in the future.

The GBP/USD "Afternoon Delight" Trade with Nadex

This trade comes courtesy of Krystal Comber, CEO of SlickTrade. The full text of this strategy, can be found in TradingPub's  new free eBook
"Trading Made Simple - Strategies that Risk Less than $100."

The "Afternoon Delight" trade has been extensively tested on the GBP/USD currency pair, and it is very consistent and super simple to execute if a setup is in play.

The trade requires two components:

• 15 minute charts on the GBP/USD
• MACD

If you see a crossover after noon, a trade setup is in play. it really doesn't get much simpler. For full details on this strategy, make sure to watch Krystal's short video at the bottom of this blog.

Here are the steps you need to take to execute the GBP/USD "Afternoon Delight" trade.

•          Select the 7pm daily on the Nadex platform
•          Look to see the overall trend direction from the start of the New York Session
•          If it was bearish (downward movement) then you will be looking to Buy after you receive confirmation of trend direction change
•          If the trend was bullish (upward movement) then you will be looking to Sell after you receive confirmation of trend direction change
•          If there is any news on GBP or USD during the hours of 12pm – 7:15pm (EST) – avoid trading the strategy that day
•          Once the cross occurs on the MACD, wait for full formation of the current 15 minute candle
•          If the trend direction was bearish, then you would purchase a Buy at the lowest point of the body of the candle where the cross occurred
•          If the trend direction was bullish, then you would purchase a Sell at the highest point of the body of the candle where the cross occurred
•          I normally place a market order and a working order on this strategy. Many times the strike gets tested for the next few hours, so setting a working order in addition to the market order can give you additional profit possibilities overall.
•          That’s it!

Here's how this trade played out yesterday (June 24, 2015):

Click on Nadex Chart to Enlarge

On this 15-minute Nadex chart, the MACD crossover occurred at 2pm. The market then moved above the T-Line (8EMA, shown in purple) and started on an uptrend. The decision was made to BUY the GBP/USD from 1.5680, which was a position of safety. The following trade was placed:

Click to Enlarge

Since the probabilities were high that this trade would be successful, I risked more than I'm normally comfortable risking. $84 risk for a $16 reward per contract. 5 contracts were purchased. I've been trading this strategy for several months, and I have been rarely disappointed, so I wasn't too worried.

It is important to note that if the market suddenly decided to reverse and attack my position, it would be very wise to bail out and cut losses. But that wasn't the case yesterday. As it usually does, the market just continued to drift upwards, and this trade was never threatened. If I had decided to place my trade later, there would not have been a market at 1.5680 for a BUY. The market settled in the money 

Trade Results:

Win: BUY at >1.5680 - 5 contracts x $16 profit,  less $9.00 in exchange fees = $71.00

Conclusion:

This strategy is very consistent. To backtest it, just load the 15-minute charts and the MACD. Look at the time period after 12noon and look for a MACD crossover. If it happens, look at where the GBP/USD price is at 7pm. Test this strategy in demo before you attempt trading it live to see if it suits your trading style.

Nadex Trade of the Day - Trading the USD/JPY on Economic News

By Stefan Katanić, Founder
Traden Group

Trading into the news can be risky, but can also be quite profitable if you have a good plan for trading into news events.

On Friday, February 13, several economic news reports were released, including the Michigan Consumer Sentiment reports at 10:00am EST. If the actual reports vary widely from analyst's forecasts, it can have a dramatic effect on the markets.

Prior to 10:00am EST, it was time to take a closer look at the US Dollar Index futures (/DX) on the thinkorswim platform. It was also time to take a look at the Japanese Yen (/6J) and the USD/JPY currency pair:

Click on Chart to Enlarge

The US Dollar Index (left panel) was trading at a resistance level, and the Yen (right panel) was trading at a support level. Before the release of impactful economic news, it's important to look at volume and price action before the actual release of the news.

Since the Michigan Consumer news reports were being released at 10:00am, the 9am-11am time period was selected in Nadex for the USD/JPY Forex pair. Now it was time to wait for the news release:

The Michigan Consumer news reports missed estimates badly, which had a negative impact on the US Dollar. As soon as the news was released, the market plummeted, and the following trade was placed:

Trade Details: 
Contract: USD/JPY >119.00 (11AM) 
Expiration: Fri Feb 13 11:00:00 EST 2015 
Direction: SELL 
Quantity: 2 
Price: 32.00

Two contracts were sold, with a maximum risk of $136 and a maximum reward of $64.

As the chart clearly illustrates, the market dove on the news, before trading sideways for the rest of the day. This trade was never threatened, and expired in the money at 11:00am EST.

Nadex Trade of the Day - When You Have a Good Strategy, Trust the Rules

Every once in a while, the rules of a really strong strategy can get tested, tempting you to deviate from your rules. If the strategy is strong enough, sometimes you just have to stick to the rules and trust that the odds of success are in your favor. Today was one of those days for the 7am-9am Germany 30 (DAX) strategy using Nadex binary options.

A veteran trader once observed that the 7am EST hourly candlestick of the Germany 30 (DAX) Index is a pivot point that determines the direction of that market for the next hour or so.

The rules for this are extremely simple:

• Select the 7am-9am EST Nadex time period
• If the 7am EST hourly candlestick is BULLISH, then BUY at the first Nadex strike price available BELOW the opening price of hourly candlestick.
• If the 7am EST hourly candlestick is BEARISH, then SELL at the first Nadex strike price available ABOVE the opening price of hourly candlestick.

While this sounds really easy, sometimes it can be a little bit difficult to execute. Sometimes the formation of the 7am hourly candlestick isn't obvious until 7:45 or later. Patience is a key to this strategy.

Click on Chart to Enlarge

• 6:45am EST: Time to pull up the charts and check the economic calendar. No economic news of any importance. The candlesticks were riding above the T-Line (8 EMA) and the 50 MA on the 15 minute charts.  The candlesticks were above the 5-minute Ichimoku cloud and the next 2 hours were pointing bullish. All indicators were in agreement, and no economic news to muddy the waters.
• 7:00am: The Germany 30 (DAX) Index opened at 10889.167. On the 5-minute chart (shown above), the first four candlesticks were bullish, which suggested that the hourly candlestick would probably be bullish. This triggered the following pending order:
  
  BUY Germany 30 (Mar) >10887 (9AM) - 1 Contract  Risk $50, Reward $50
  
  This order was placed as pending/working order and the market needed to retrace in order for it to be filled. Time to be patient.
• 8:00 am: The 7am hourly candlestick closed bullish at 110910.467. From months of trading, testing and back-testing this strategy, I am confident that there is a very a strong probability that the 8am hourly candlestick will close above the 7am opening price.
• 8:25 am: The Germany 30 DAX was on a sharp downward move, and breached the 10887 level, filling my pending order at 8:28. I'm now in the market with a BUY order, risking $50 to make $50. Now the market needs to churn back north.
• 8:40 am: The market moves down further, threatening my position. At this time,  the following order was placed:
  
  BUY Germany 30 (Mar) >10867 (9AM) - 3 Contracts  Risk $75, Reward $25

This order filled. From backtesting, experience has shown me that it is very rare for the next strike price down the ladder to be breached. If the first order fails, it is backed by the second order like an insurance policy.

• 8:45 am: The market continues to dive, now threatening the backup order. Is it time to bail and cut losses, or is it time to trust a time-tested strategy? The decision was made to stand firm and trust the rules of the strategy.
• 8:50 - 9:00 am: The market turned around and headed north, making the backup order safe. It kept grinding upward, and expired at 10888.400, making both orders good, yielding a gross profit of $125, less $7.20 in exchange fees for a net profit of $117.80.

Today's trade was an exercise in trusting the rules of a strategy and its probability of success. The DAX actually expired below the 7am opening price, but not below the strike price chosen according to the rules of the strategy. It would have been very easy to exit early and cut losses, but today the rules of the strategy held.
