Every day the markets present opportunities—and on 27th August, GBP/AUD gave us a perfect example of how a rules-based approach can identify trades with confidence.
In this Trade of the Day breakdown, Tom Heal, Senior Trading Strategist at Trendsignal, walked through a recent setup that delivered +80 pips in less than 24 hours. Here’s how it unfolded.
The Setup: Clear Signals, No Guesswork
The trade was triggered by three simple rules coming together:
-
A red sniper disc appeared, signalling a short opportunity.
-
The vector average line changed from green to red.
-
The Trend Signal line also changed from green to red.
When all three aligned, the setup was valid. No second-guessing, no “gut feel”—just straightforward rules telling us when to act.
Targets and Results
Once the signals were in place, our Trademate tool automatically generated the trade levels.
-
Starter Target: +50 pips, hit within the same day.
-
Extended Target: +80 pips, also achieved intraday.
For context, that’s:
-
£80 at £1 per pip (ideal for beginners)
-
£400 at £5 per pip (intermediate account)
All from a setup that took minutes to identify and place.
Why This Matters
You don’t need to watch charts all day to trade effectively. Most of our end-of-day trades last 1–3 days, giving you time to manage them around a busy schedule. The beauty of this rules-based process is its simplicity: know the rules, follow the tools, and let the probabilities play out.
