Category: Forex Trading Strategies: The Macro-Technical Playbook

You don’t need 20 strategies. You need one proven, high-probability strategy that you can execute flawlessly. We provide the “unfair advantage” playbook.

A Forex strategy is your personal “business plan” for extracting money from the market. But most traders just download a “magic” indicator that repaints and fails. A real strategy is a fusion of two things: a Macro Bias and a Technical Entry.

1. The Macro Bias (The “Why”): This is your big-picture story. You need a reason to be bullish or bearish on a currency. This comes from your “Economic News” and “Forex Analysis.”
   • Example: “The US Fed is raising rates (bullish USD), while the Bank of Japan is holding rates at zero (bearish JPY). My macro bias is to ‘BUY’ USD/JPY.”
2. The Technical Entry (The “When”): This is your execution. Now that you have your bias, you look at the charts (using CHoCH/BoS, Smart Money Concepts) to find a low-risk, high-probability entry point that aligns with your bias.
   • Example: “I will wait for USD/JPY to pull back to a 4-Hour ‘Order Block’ and then show me a 15-Minute ‘Change of Character’ (CHoCH) before I enter.”

The Nikvest Edge is that we only focus on strategies that have this “unfair advantage” built-in. We don’t teach lagging indicators. We teach you the professional “playbook”:

• The “Carry Trade”: A long-term strategy of “buying” a high-interest-rate currency (like the Mexican Peso) and “selling” a zero-interest-rate currency (like the Japanese Yen) and getting paid interest (the “carry”) just to hold the trade.
• The “News Fade”: A short-term strategy of letting the “amateur” money spike the price on a news release, then trading the reversal (the “fade”) as the smart money takes over.
• The “SMC Confluence”: Finding a setup where your macro bias lines up perfectly with a technical CHoCH at a major weekly level.

This is how you stop “hoping” and start trading with a quantifiable, repeatable edge.
