I found this strategy on google and i thought was interesting enough to post it:

“This is another very simple, but extremely efficient strategy. The round numbers (example EUR/USD 1.2800, USD/JPY 99.00) are natural levels of support and resistance. A lot of orders are placed around these levels. During the last few years the importance of the round numbers increased because they are used for options barriers levels and are protected. That is why when the market approaches such levels the price movement is countered by these order flows and small retracement usually happens. You should study carefully the price action around the round numbers and improve the strategy.

Rules for long position

1. The prices approach round number support.

2. Long position is initiated when:
– the price hits the round number, or
– the price breaks a few pips below the round number.

– the price breaks a few pips below the round number.

3. After the position is open an initial stop loss order is placed 2-3 pips below the low reached during the test of the round number or at fixed distance from the entry point.

4. A limit order is placed according to our Money management rules.

Rules for short position

  1. The prices approach round number resistance.
  2. Short position is initiated when:
    – the price hits the round number, or
    – the price breaks a few pips above the round number.
  3. After the position is open an initial stop loss order is placed 2-3 pips above the high reached during the test of the round number or at fixed distance from the entry point.
  4. A limit order is placed according to our Money management rules.”

It doesn’t say where the TP should be but i guess at the next round number.

Taking Advantage of the Hunt
The “stop hunting with the big specs” is an exceedingly simple setup, requiring nothing more than a price chart and one indicator. Here is the setup in a nutshell: On a one-hour chart, mark lines 15 points of either side of the round number. For example, if the EUR/USD is approaching the 1.2500 figure, the trader would mark off 1.2485 and 1.2515 on the chart. This 30-point area is known as the “trade zone”, much like the 20-yard line on the football field is known as the “redzone”. Both names communicate the same idea – namely that the participants have a high probability of scoring once they enter that area.

The idea behind this setup is straightforward. Once prices approach the round-number level, speculators will try to target the stops clustered in that region. Because FX is a decentralized market, no one knows the exact amount of stops at any particular “00” level, but traders hope that the size is large enough to trigger further liquidation of positions – a cascade of stop orders that will push price farther in that direction than it would move under normal conditions. Therefore, in the case of long setup, if the price in the EUR/USD was climbing toward the 1.2500 level, the trader would go long the pair with two units as soon as it crossed the 1.2485 threshold. The stop on the trade would be 15 points back of the entry because this is a strict momentum trade. If prices do not immediately follow through, chances are the setup failed. The profit target on the first unit would be the amount of initial risk or approximately 1.2500, at which point the trader would move the stop on the second unit to breakeven to lock in profit. The target on the second unit would be two times initial risk or 1.2515, allowing the trader to exit on a momentum burst. Aside from watching these key chart levels, there is only one other rule that a trader must follow in order to optimize the probability of success. Because this setup is basically a derivative of momentum trading, it should be traded only in the direction of the larger trend. There are numerous ways to ascertain direction using technical analysis, but the 200-period (SMA) on the hourly charts may be particularly effective in this case. By using a longer term average on the short-term charts, you can stay on the right side of the price action without being subject to near-term whipsaw moves.

In forex a trading strategy is a fixed plan that is designed to achieve a profitable return by going long or short in markets. The main reasons that a properly researched trading strategy helps are its verifiability, quantifiability, consistency, and objectivity.

For every trading strategy one needs to define assets to trade, entry/exit points and money management rules.
