Trading Strategies

This strategy takes advantage of the overlap between North American and European trading sessions, which creates ideal trading conditions for Latin American traders. During this overlap (14:00-17:00 GMT), market liquidity and volatility increase, creating more trading opportunities. Focus on major currency pairs like EUR/USD, GBP/USD, and USD/CAD during these hours.

This strategy focuses on trading correlations between Latin American currencies (MXN, BRL, CLP, etc.) and commodities like oil, copper, and agricultural products. By understanding how these local currencies react to commodity price changes, traders can identify high-probability trading opportunities. For example, the Mexican Peso (MXN) often correlates with oil prices, while the Brazilian Real (BRL) has strong ties to agricultural commodities.

For Latin American traders who can trade early in the morning (or night owls), the Asian trading session offers unique opportunities. This strategy involves taking advantage of the typically lower volatility and clearer technical patterns during Asian hours. Focus on quick trades with tight stop losses, targeting 5-15 pips per trade on pairs like USD/JPY, AUD/USD, and NZD/USD.

This approach is perfect for Latin American traders with full-time jobs who can only analyze markets and place trades on weekends. It focuses on identifying weekly chart patterns, key support/resistance levels, and fundamental events that might impact markets in the coming week. Trades are typically held for several days to weeks, using wider stop losses and targeting higher reward-to-risk ratios.

Latin American traders have a unique advantage when trading US economic news releases, as these typically occur during active trading hours in Latin America. This strategy focuses on trading major economic announcements like Non-Farm Payrolls, FOMC decisions, and CPI data. It involves analyzing expected vs. actual values and trading the market reaction, often using breakout or momentum strategies.
