Every Monday, quantitative strategist David Rodriguez shares his trading strategy bias for the week on DailyFX.com Below are the DailyFX+ trading strategies he believes will work best for individual currency pairs based on current market conditions.

The Momentum2 strategy is based on our proprietary Speculative Sentiment Index (SSI) a contrarian indicator that looks at the ratio of long to short positions in a currency pair among retail traders. Instead of simply looking at whether SSI is net short or net long for a given pair, it looks for relative changes in net positioning. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. The strategy is currently giving a signal to short GBP/JPY because SSI has hit its most extreme positive level for the past 145 trading hours at -1.263, which suggests that the pair could be trending downwards.
