Since I have start trading Forex, It took me while to understand which pairs should I line up for the next week. So, I decided to target News calendar for that Purpose and see which Currency Pair has high impact releases to be Scheduled next week and then I decided to take with the trend entries only and upcoming reports should match with trend entry. But that did not work for me in the long run as I struggle to find out the reason why currency pairs reverse even after strong data in favor. Strong Release does move pairs but If that release brings risk aversion, then It can reverse totally, but Chart should be decisive enough for us to make crucial decision at such events.
Well, It is quite clear that only few major pairs dominate the market volume as it is prime choice of bunch of traders, and every strategy you built in may not suit every currency pair, because few currency pairs offer strong movements and volatility, they still might not be best one to trade at particular scenarios, specially at the time of release. Australian Dollar, Canadian Dollar, Eurodollar, Pound dollar and Dollar Yen are prefferrable choice for every trader to look for their profits but still there might be few correlated pairs that you can use to hedge positions but still You does need to see enough reason to trade the rest of the currency pairs that offer movement and are trending as well.
There are so many factors that influence the movement of a Currency Pairs event after positive data release that should offer strength and good enough to buy but still it moves lower and trade has to be close due to loss. Its a trader's responsibility to track which currency pair is dominating e.g Dollar has been dominate against pound since last year or so and When You expect couple of news can drive sterling higher or reverse the trade, then You should built several strategy that offer entries in trending market.
Let's be more decisive with the chart to clear Doubts raising in your mind
Pound Policy Statement and Inflation Report
These two reports were the highlights of previous week as Pound was moving sideways for extended period in expectation of this release and as You see in daily chart pair has already reverse and that bearish movement was quite significant and one should always look for short entries If trend start to reverse of a new high.
Let’s take the above scenario from another perspective:-
There is another perspective that You can take it from above example as you expect British pound to increase in Value, so you want to buy pound. But instead of just look to buy pound against the dollar, you search for the most suited pair to do it with. And after bit of search you find that Australian dollar has been the extremely weaker of all the currency pairs, and you decide that you will buy Strong Pound against Weak Australian Dollar and this works well If you would have been able to do that because it was weakest pair of all on that day.
That's How I find Trending Currency Pairs with Logic and timing
In the example above, you might have get the idea How banks target different currency pairs at different scenarios and How just a big of understanding of the logic and overall context can offer you sense to buy best currency pairs in the trending market even with weak reports which is unexpected scenario but still quite profitable one if you manage to use bit of research and choose optimal currency pair.
