Macro Bias : Long USD
Action 1: Short EU, GU, AU, NU, XU
Action2: Long upon technical rebound

Using heteroskedasticity to trade FCPO is my idea, I think no one has thought of that in Malaysia.

When CADF (co-integrated Augmented Dickey Fuller Test) shows a good mean revert property, its a good timing to do a counter trend (or range) trading.

From our residual plot, SepOct 18 seems to have a good opportunity for a short (Short Sept, Long Oct). Thus we may short the next day. The results seems to be good, with +57 ticks profit for Outright Sept contract short , and +16 ticks for SepOct Spread contracts short.

Next, we analyse the upcoming opportunity for next week, and residual plot will give hints of opportunity.

It seems that JanFeb is a good short, and DecJan is a good long. Combine will form a long Butterfly Dec-Jan-Feb.

NovDec is a also a good long.

However, the CADF values are crucial. Ensures its more negative than -3.000 will have higher odds of mean reversion. Of this, most spread pairs are OK, except OctNov. Thus dont do OctNov spread next week.

This week is impacted by Macro news of Trade War between US and China. This has some negative impact on USD. Long EURUSD seems to be the macro bias.

A good opening to long will be after some retracement during the start of the week, at around 1.1600 level (ARIMA L90, VSA White)

After the Long trade, TP points are ARIMA U90 levels. Total of 5 TP points for the week.

Thus this week’s EU trade is characterised by a U-turn up. and ARIMA is a good tool to capture this type of opportunity, with VAR directional indicator as a guide on directional timing.

USD now mainly focus Inflation data. Other risk macro r tax plan,  yellen speech, Trump policies, Fomc tone. 

EUR mainly focus on Merkel govt, Brexit,  ECB tone, inflation data. 

This week is full of data from Tues to Fri. 

Who r u more optimistic on :May,  Merkel or Trump? 

My take is Brexit good, Tax Good,  Merkel coalition prob cont. 

Trade ideas: Long GU, Short EU.
