Short

OANDA:AU200AUD   Australia 200
The AU200 have reached records highs that have not been seen since November 2007 with a major Monthly Resistance Area broken through like a hot knife through warm butter. On the H4 timeline we are starting to see a clear correction emerging.

I have already entered this trade earlier and is already in profit based on the analysis in this trade idea, but there is still opportunities for you as well. Please note that the SL (Stop Loss) in this analysis is for your trade you might want to take and not my actual SL since I am already in this trade.

The Linear Regression Trend is perfectly in line with our trend idea. l expect the AU200 to continue on its Monthly Bullish trend but we are simply trading a minor correction on a smaller time frame. The light green Linear Regression line together with the Three Phase Market Setup gave me a perfect entry opportunity

The AU200 have been one of my favorite trades for many years simply because of its slow moving trends that is easily identifiable on the Heikin Ashi bars.

The Monthly Trend is Bullish
The Weekly Trend is Bullish
The Daily Trend is Bullish with a Correction starting to show
The H4 Trend I would now consider Bearish since the last 2 trading days.

The Three Phase Market Setup Analysis:
You will see 3 x light orange boxes on the chart, I simply call this the Three Phase Market Setup Analysis and you can use this on any timeline. I was taught this analysis by a brokerage firm, I have not seen it yet here on Trading View trade ideas yet. This is basically what the Forex market is build on and you see this trend over and over, it is simply a case of training yourself to be able to identify it. This is in a nutshell the Forex Market setup, we can even call it the Forex Market's own strategy.

It is therefore important for you to be able to identify this setup every time before you place a trade, by doing this you will know exactly where the market is and how in line you are with the market. Let me repeat it again you will see this setup time and time again on every timeline. Make sure that you strategy is in line with the market's strategy. When the market is setting up, you are setting up, it has nothing to do with your opinion on what you think.


Phase 1:
Phase 1 is the Contraction phase where the volume starts to decrease dramatically due to Banks and Big Firms starting to take profits and getting rid of their previous long positions, this can further be determined by having access to a COT Report (or create your own COT* analysis)

You never trade phase 1, never ever enter a trade in phase 1. This is a basic rookie mistake where they see a market trending sideways and then they think that the market is reversing, this is where the market simply takes your money as it moves into phase 2.

* The Commitments of Traders (COT) is a report issued by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). It aggregates the holdings of participants in the U.S. futures markets (primarily based in Chicago and New York), where commodities, metals, and currencies are bought and sold.


Phase 2:
Phase 2 is the Expansion Phase where we see Increasing Institutional Volume. The range now start opening up, it is now taking out highs and lows and there goes the retail traders stop loss. How many times have you seen a trade going in the actual direction you predicted but simply for you to get stopped out before it start trending in your direction, now you know the reason.

Smart money is now accumulating positions at discounted prices and retail traders who don't know what they are doing gets beaten up like crazy during phase 2. You still do not trade phase 2 and you simply use phase 2 to start identifying a clear trend reversal where you can have a possible entry point. The Linear Regression Trend is one method the you can use to identify a possible entry point


Phase 3:
Phase 3 is the trend phase where Institutional traders is start to take profits, also known as the payout cycle. The market now start making its moves to higher or lower prices (in this case, lower prices).

Retail traders will now make temporarily profit in phase 3 since they are going to trade right back into phase 1 again with their late entries, fear of missing out (FOMO) and not knowing where to place their take profits (TP) Whatever profits most retail traders make in phase 3 they will loose again in phase 1 as the market cycle repeats itself.

Retail traders who enter late (about 80% of all retail traders) simply give the Institutional traders (Banks and Big Firms) their liquidity to cash out again, and so the cycle continues. This cycle is as consistent as the sun coming up every day.

Now please do me a favor and go and open up the AUD200 on the Daily time-frame. You will now see the Three Phase Market Setup even more clearly over there. When looking at the AUD200 chart the general tendency is to predict that the market will simply continue on it Bullish trend, but now that you know Three Phase Market Setup Analysis you can almost enter most of your trades exactly where the Institutional traders (Banks and Big Firms) enter their trades.


Here is just a quick overview of what the AU200 is:
The main index (S&P/ASX 200 Index) of the Australian Securities Exchange is calculated on the basis of stock prices of 200 largest companies, traded on this Exchange. Overall, stocks of more than 2000 companies are traded on the Australian Exchange. The stocks, included in the index, provide the largest part of the turnover and well reflect the overall state of the Australian Securities Exchange. In IFC Markets this index is presented as a synthetic continuous (without expiration) instrument.
