Forex Flush Trade Setup

One of the profitable setups that I use to take advantage of traders, especially those that enter trades with poor trade location is called the Forex Flush Trade Setup. In the video below, I go into great depth in helping traders understand the mechanics behind how this strategy works.

Leading Indicator

AUD/JPY is seen as a leading barometer to understanding state of market. The current flow of the AUD/JPY gauges the risk aversion /risk appetite of investors. If traders are more optimistic about the market, with an increase flow of money into riskier investments, the AUD will strengthen against the JPY. Alternatively, if you see a decline (stronger Yen), then large funds and institutions are decreasing their risk appetite and investing in safe haven products.

Flush Out The Orders

Ok, so the Flush out strategy is based on the premise of identifying the general roles of the market participants. Retail traders generally trade with charts full of indicators and have a small percentage catered towards price action. By employing this strategy is primarily based on indicators and entering trades delayed times. Additionally, an enormous amount of investors will trade using breakout strategies. If the smart money is not moving in the direction of the breakout trade, you will tend to see a sharp move to new highs, followed by a flush of professionals looking to enter shorts, basically going against the inexperienced traders, consequently hunting for their stops. The pendulum swings will continue to occur until there is an agreed direction, which tends to occur consequently after important fundamental news.

Trade Smart

Trading in the market should be seen and conducted as an art. Using my creativity, I want to create a plan of my intentions of the painting, before I even consider placing my brush on the canvas. What I mean is plan your trade first, before you even contemplate pulling the trigger. Really thinking about the mechanics that drive the market and how you can utilize this opportunity.

Words of Wisdom

Remember there is no right or wrong way of trading, as long as you learn to adapt your trading with the ultimate aim of producing a profitable plan. Even at this stage, your education has started. Continue to develop, grow and blossom as a trader. Learn, learn and learn.
