BAT FORMATION ENTRY OPTIONS

Education
FX:NZDUSD   New Zealand Dollar / U.S. Dollar
Here is a perfect example of how neutral sentiment can be in the markets on the DAILY TIMEFRAME.

SCENARIO 1

Lets suppose we are anticipating a BAT formation, which hasn't fully revealed itself, but we want to anticpate trade opportunites. The CD LEG of the BAT presents a great shorting opportunity because of previous structure shows a level of resistance. If triggered it gives us a favorable Risk Reward Setup of 5:1

SCENARIO 2

We can place a BUY order at the 618 FIB Level to anticipate a move to the upside. This presents a 1.5 to 1 Risk Reward Setup. Not a great Risk Reward profile, but a conservative trade nonetheless.

SCENARIO 3

We can follow through for the completion of the BAT pattern and enter at the completion point. It presents a clear cut exit if the trade doesn't play out. Remember we only place our STOPS where we know the trade won't play out. Great Risk Reward of 5:1!!!

All the best,
