Day Traders
Most of us prefer being day traders, and it is the utmost desire and necessity to earn some profit by the end of the day. Being an efficient day trader, for instance, one should have in mind the average daily range for each of major currency pairs. In the last three months, most of the leading pairs have noticed their averages fall quite rapidly as indicated by the Average True Range indicator.
So, if the same trend continues, it leads to smaller and smaller trading range at the end of each day.
Necessary Precautions
As for those who don’t know, by the end of December 2010 the average range of the GBP /USD pair was 135 points at the time of writing. People, who enjoy early morning breakouts, must be cautious about trading early in the morning by taking in consideration of overnight trading points range. Moreover, if the range is between 30 to 60 points and breakout takes place, then there is plenty of room for the price to move strongly in the expected direction. This is the same situation when the trading range was in excess of 200 points, and we were sure about the price heading towards the right destination.
Longer Term Trades
Long term trades are always more reliable than the short term trades. Most of the traders are busy trying to get quick profits. However, it is quite a known fact that trading ranges are quite minor now a day’s for major pairs. Usually most of us are far much better off trading the four hour and daily charts.
