How to trade AUDUSD: Before and After

Our trend-based AUDUSD "sell the rally" trade set-up was identified after the New York close on the 18th September. Our orders were then placed with the broker that evening so that we could be sure to have our order filled in the event of runaway price movements that night.

The trade set-up took us a few minutes to identify and manage, and lasted for 7 trading days before hitting our trailing stoploss, netting us a 2% gain on the fund.

Imagine a scenario where you can trade just one strategy which you can use on currencies, indices and commodities on just one timeframe?

That's trading price action in the way of The Lazy Trader - keeping things simple and effortless but a big profit potential in mind, regardless of what the news or what the pundits say.
