DXY (Dollar Index) 4H : Trapped buyers waiting to exit : SHORT
Trade setup
DXY (Dollar index) has trapped buyers at the top. When price comes back to this zone, they'd love an exit - giving us a short trade in the process.
Risk management
1) Reduce 50% at 1R => Trade becomes risk free
2) Reduce further 25% at 2R AND move SL to break-even
3) Close trade at 3R
4) Winner = 1.75R
Strategy
Pickup a pair which is highly correlated to DXY (if trading DXY, ignore the correlation part)
AND
Wait for market structure to break, then trade the retest of that zone. Zone is drawn using the first candle which crossed the pivot high/low to begin trapping the traders
AND
Liquidity in form of equal highs/lows should not be present behind the stop loss
AND
Since the pair is highly correlated to DXY , the formation of HH/LL in DXY should support the trade's direction at the time of zone's formation
