Trader123's trading ideas
Bought 100,000 EUR/GBP at 0.7873

Often I have requests from friends and readers asking me to do back-testing for particular products. I had done a lot of the tests upon their requests, but that does not mean that my back-testing is successful.

How do I define success in back-testing?
Purpose of my back-test is to find the best indicator to track the buy signals and sell signals. For example if my result shows that RSI is the best indicator to track the buy and sell signals, but my test result shows that the profit achieved is rather small, I'll still conclude that the test has failed.

Finding the best indicator is not sufficient for me to use that for trading, it MUST prove itself to be a profitable indicator.

Recently I had done a test on EUR/GBP, my back-test was successful as the profit achieved in the test is pretty decent. Currently my proven indicator has signal buy.

Fundamental of GBP
Fundamentally UK is facing housing problem just like US, but GBP has maintained at this level due to its relative higher interest rate. I believe GBP is overvalued.

Bought 100,000 EUR/GBP at 0.7873
Place a GTC stop at 0.7845
Target level at 0.7910

EUR/GBP looks toppish after reaching 0.7905, so since its quite near to my target price of 0.7910, I choose to take profit at 0.7893.

Profit is in GBP, platform has auto converted my profit back into USD. Realised profit is US$395.62.

Oil price is still trading in a range of $131 - $139.

FOMC meeting will start this week, and market expects interest rate to remain the same. I do think interest will remain the same as well as US economy is still weak. If Federal Reserves raises interest rate by surprise, oil price is expected to dip down.

I'll be interested to short oil at $138 and put a stop at $140.
