Macy’s on NYSE (M) shows a long Holy Grail trading setup in an upwards trend with bull gaps.

  2. This gap broke out of the previous swing high and  hinted at bullish pressure after the long sideways movement.
  3. The current pullback to the moving average is also testing the gap which could serve as support.

3. Holy Grail Trade on AGN Daily

AGN Daily Holy Grail Trade
Allergan (AGN) is in a clear upwards trend. The current pullback offers a long Holy Grail trading opportunity.

  1. ADX is above 30 and has risen. This is a requisite of the Holy Grail strategy.
  2. Price is clearly trending up and confirms what the ADX is saying.
  3. Price is testing the moving average and a major pivot point (black line, originating pivot point not shown). AGN has broken out of the major pivot earlier, and the resistance might have flipped into support.

Futures and forex trading contains substantial risk and is not for every investor. An investor could potentially lose all or more than the initial investment. Risk capital is money that can be lost without jeopardizing ones financial security or life style. Only risk capital should be used for trading and only those with sufficient risk capital should consider trading. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.
