The 144 and 169 EMAs create what we call the “tunnel”. The 12 period EMA is an extremely

Trade Example
GBP/USD is trading at 1.8500. The EMAs are as follows: 144- 1.8494, 169- 1.8512. The market
breaks 1.8494, and you sell at 1.8492. Your stop and reverse is now at 1.8512. Over the
following hours, the market starts to go down after retesting the tunnel. 4hrs after you put
position on, cable is at 1.8446. You can use for computation purposes either tunnel boundary
or the median of the tunnel. Ema’s are still the same, so if you use the median, 55 from
1.8503 is 1.8448. You should have taken part of the position oퟚ� at 1.8448 (55 Fib). Market
moves sideways for about 5.5 hours. You are now looking for price to be break below the 55
ퟚ�b level from the EMAs. After 6 hours, cable is at 1.8410 and the median of ema’s isHOME
1.8410(https://www.forextradersdaily.com/)
[1.8400 – 1.8420]. You should be out of another portion of your trade (89 Fib); once the
market has broken below the55 level is safe to move your stop to break even. You do not

have to but to conserve proퟚ�t it is a good idea. Many time the market will retest the tunnel

which will give you another opportunity to enter short if you get stopped out. After moving
sideways for about 2.5 hours the market continues down to the next level
(https://www.forextradersdaily.com/) BLOGwhere you will

remove another lot and place your stop above the 89 level by 20 points. Once again this is
your choice in this case we were stopped out with plenty of proퟚ�t. This is a fairly typical
BROKER(https://www.forextradersdaily.com/broker/)
example.

If you were to just stick to this basic model, your account would grow very well over time. Las
Vegas was built with far fewer percentages in the casino’s favor.
In case you haven’t ퟚ�gured it out, this model cuts your losses very short. By deퟚ�nition, you
can’t lose very much on a single trade from your initial entry position. On the other side, you
take some quick proퟚ�ts at the 55 level which satisퟚ�es the scalper in you, and you have
positioned yourself for bigger proퟚ�ts in the long run should the market keep going in your
and out multiple times for small losses. This is where a solid understanding of trend line
analysis along with Pivot Points and Fibonacci levels proves to be very valuable. Using these
levels for entries will provide you with a much better entry point and will limit your risk. Here
is that same example but entering at the breakout of an intermediate trend line You may
want to take proퟚ�t at the tunnel to cover the trade in case the market bounces oퟚ� of the
tunnel which is very common. Your stop is just above the trend line giving you a 15 pip stop.

going to go to them. Longer term charts, like daily and weekly produce too much slippage in
market price for the ퟚ�nal portions of the position.
BROKER(https://www.forextradersdaily.com/broker/)
In the fall of 2004, when GBP/USD went 20 candles up to 1.95, the daily EMAs were 5 to 7 bars
y.com/broker/)
behind. For me, this is too much to give back on a long position, especially when your ퟚ�rst
proퟚ�ts came at the 55 and 89 ퟚ�b lines.
Two hour and four hour charts are roughly analogous, but I prefer the 1 hour chart for its
simplicity, and sometimes it’s tough to see how a market trades in a 4-hour period.
It’s all about momentum over the short to medium term. Lower EMAs produce momentum
signals that give trading signals that are to short-term to
trade proퟚ�tably. In other words, the dreaded whip-saw. It may go in your direction for 3
minutes and 6 pips, but then, it rolls
square root [12]. The closet ퟚ�b number to this square root
is 13. The square of 13 is 169. The tunnel is now created.
But, the proof is in the pudding. In a trending currency
market (which is what it does most of the time over the long run), retracements are where
you can re-establish proퟚ�table positions. Go back and look on the 1 hour chart and see where
the retracement stops and you will need to know nothing more about Gann or numerology,
astrology, or anything else. They stop very close, if not exactly on the 144 and 169 1 hour

that is valuable information and is acted upon by taking a position, it isn’t going to help you
much in getting the best proퟚ�t potential out of your trade. If you use them exclusively to get
out, you will discover 2 things: 1) you get chopped when you had a proퟚ�table trade at one

will experience the higher ퟚ�b numbers more often than the less volatile pairs. Of the major
pairs, GBP/USD, and USD/CHF are the most volatile, followed by the EUR/USD and then
USD/YEN.
Therefore, I trade the GBP and CHF because they go to extremes more often than the other
pairs. These extremes [233 and 377] produce whopping proퟚ�ts on a regular basis. It is rare to
get the Euro to the 233 mark before it crosses back over the tunnel. It just happened here

1.) Put the 12 EMA [1 hour] on your screen with the rest of your indicators. When everything
is at the same price [tunnel, current market price, 12 EMA] sit up and take notice. When the
market breaks away from the tunnel, there is a very high probability of a strong market move
coming. I don’t need Gann, because this gives me time, the square of time, and price all in
equilibrium. When it breaks, it goes. Using trend line and support and resistance breaks will

time in the 12 EMA and the EMA will tell you to stay in the trade and be a little more lenient
2.) We do not initiate new currency trading positions based on tunnel trading during the Asian
positions. Positions that are on are monitored as normal, i.e., everything else is the same. We
will take proퟚ�ts if ퟚ�b levels are hit. If we miss a move, then we miss a move. A missed move is
just an opportunity cost. Chop-chop in Asia will eventually cost you more money than it is
worth.
3.) News days that can have a signiퟚ�cant eퟚ�ect on prices are ignored. That’s right; we skip
them for entry of new positions. Currently. there is only 1 day per month which qualiퟚ�es, and
that is US Non-Farm Payrolls [NFP] which comes at 8:30 am NY time the ퟚ�rst Friday of each
month. Positions that are on are monitored as normal.
4.) When the tunnel is very narrow (which is most of the time), do not just put your stop on
the other side of the tunnel. If you do, you will get whipsawed to death. Use the hourly charts
and the most recent hours of support and resistance to make the call. If you are a newbie to

5.) We look for clean moves [1 bar] through the tunnel. This means you’re into proퟚ�ts almost
from the get-go. You will not always get the clean moves. The longer the market stays in the
tunnel chopping around, the higher the probability our entry decision will be made on a
6.) We do not trade minor [contra-major] trend signals in a strong up or down market price
trend. If the GBP/USD is in a strong price up trend, we will not initiate new short positions on
a break of the lower tunnel boundary. Why? Because the probability of success in getting
past 55 from the EMA is not very good. Past history tells us that, so I’m not looking to be the
hero here and say “This time it’s diퟚ�erent.” When market comes back through the tunnel on

units is the preferable level, and you use 55, 89, 144, 233, and let one unit ride until crosses
over tunnel boundary or it reaches 377.
Of course, you can make your units any size you want. For smaller traders, a unit size may be
10,000. If you do not have the money to trade 30,000 of something, then I would advise you
to save up and come back when you do. If your account has $2,000 in it, you can easily
implement tunnel trading with 10k units and trade 3 mini lots.
One of the greatest advantages of this model is its ퟝ�exibility in its design to allow you to
choose the level of risk/reward you desire in trading. You can make this as aggressive or as
conservative as ퟚ�ts your style. I will give an example of each. These are just examples; I’m not
saying you have to do this.
Tunnel is pivot level for buy/sell. Above tunnel, buy breaks, sell at ퟚ�b numbers. At 233 and
377, fade the move for retracement. Below tunnel, sell rallies, buy at the ퟚ�b numbers. Use
previous ퟚ�b numbers in the move as stop loss points. This is very aggressive, and would be
