There are some rules for taking positions according to the FxTaTrader Hybrid Grid Strategy. The strategy can open multiple positions of a currency pair but each currency may only be present once in the pairs chosen for trading. It means that not all the possible positions of this coming week can be opened. For more information see FxTaTrader Hybrid Grid Strategy. Another rule is that a pair outside the Bollinger Band in the Weekly chart is considered overbought/oversold. No positions are taken for these pairs which are in this case the JPY pairs. The preference for this coming week goes to the AUD/USD with the EUR/CAD.
Last week (pending) orders were placed for the EUR/NZD and the AUD/USD with profit 1x EUR/NZD and profit 3x AUD/USD.

Possible positions for coming week

This pair will be analyzed in more detail. The situation compared to the last weeks has improved and the pair is interesting for the Hybrid Grid strategy. At the moment the pair broke through a bottom that remained a good support for 10 weeks. The CAD is at this moment the stronger currency after the USD according to the Currency score and this makes it also interesting. All other conditions in the Weekly(decision) chart are looking good for going short.

In the current list of this weekend Forex Ranking & Rating Wk 48 the pair has a rank of 4. This list is used as additional information besides the Currency score and the Technical analysis charts.
- Besides the general information mentioned the outlook in the TA charts also makes it an attractive opportunity.

Weekly Currency score: Down
Based on the currency score the pair looked interesting in the last 3 months. The CAD is an average performing currency from a longer term view and currently having a score of 7. The EUR is a weaker currency from a longer term perspective and is still remaining at this area with a score of 2. The CAD is for now an average performing currency but if the scores remain at the higher levels in the coming weeks it will be a stronger currency. The EUR is still clearly a weaker currency and as it seems it will remain this way for the coming period. Based solely on this information the pair looks interesting for going short.
