Summary

The speaker presents an hourly forex strategy that combines trend direction, a proprietary “Zip” indicator, higher-timeframe moving averages, and fundamental and market-sentiment checks. The strategy is designed to trade with the prevailing trend rather than against it.

Strategy Framework

• Set the trend context: Use simple moving averages (SMAs) of 20, 50, 100, and 200 periods on the 1-hour, 4-hour, and daily charts.
• Prefer trades aligned across timeframes: Look to buy when price is above the major moving averages and sell when it is below them. The speaker describes price below all major averages as a “moving average breakout,” suggesting room to move before nearby support.
• Use the Zip signal for entry direction:
  • Sell: Red background (bearish longer-term trend) and price below the indicator line.
  • Buy: Green background (bullish longer-term trend) and price above the indicator line.
• Confirm with context: Check fundamentals, broader market sentiment, and higher-timeframe support or resistance before entering.
• Avoid countertrend setups: If a pair is in the buy zone, seek buying opportunities rather than sells, and vice versa.

The speaker says trades are generally held for no more than 36 hours. No specific stop-loss, position-sizing, or leverage rules are provided.

Examples and Assets Mentioned

• NZD/USD (New Zealand dollar/US dollar, “kiwi”): Used as an example of a bearish trend, with price below the moving averages across the hourly, 4-hour, and daily charts.
• NZD/JPY (kiwi/yen): A short entered around the New York open, supported by NZD weakness after soft inflation data, falling stock futures, and a bearish technical signal.
• USD/CAD: A long entered around the New York open, with the speaker citing stronger U.S. retail sales, weaker Canadian inflation, a bullish Zip signal, and price above major moving averages on multiple timeframes.
• EUR/CAD: Shown as an example of a pair in the buy zone.
• Stock futures: Used as a broad sentiment indicator; falling futures are described as generally bearish for the Canadian dollar.
