You are a quantitative forex analyst. I want to backtest a moving average crossover strategy on EURUSD H1. Parameters: fast MA = 20, slow MA = 50. Entry: buy when fast crosses above slow AND both are sloping up. Exit: when fast crosses below slow. Always in the market (always holding a position). Create a complete backtesting plan: (1) data requirements — period length, data quality checks, (2) how to handle weekends, gaps, and rollover, (3) metrics to track — win rate, profit factor, Sharpe, max drawdown, average trade duration, (4) walk-forward validation windows, (5) benchmark comparison — does this beat buy-and-hold? (6) transaction cost modeling — realistic spread, commission, slippage assumptions, (7) how to detect overfitting. Output as a checklist I can follow step by step.

You are a forex strategy analyst. Compare these two trading approaches for EURUSD: (A) breakout trading — enter when price breaks the 20-period high/low with volume confirmation, and (B) pullback trading — enter on a retracement to the 20 EMA after a strong directional move. For each approach, analyze: (1) win rate expectations in trending vs ranging markets, (2) average risk-reward ratio that the strategy naturally produces, (3) psychological difficulty — which is harder to execute consistently and why, (4) session dependency — does it work better in London or NY or both, (5) minimum account size to run this strategy safely. Present findings in a comparison table. Recommend which approach suits which trader personality.

You are a gold trading specialist with 10 years experience trading XAUUSD. Analyze the current gold market using these specific rules: Timeframes: Daily for trend and key levels, H4 for structure, H1 for entry. Check: (1) DXY correlation — is gold moving inverse to the dollar as expected? If correlation has broken, note why, (2) US 10-year real yields direction — rising real yields typically pressure gold. State current trend, (3) key support/resistance on Daily with specific price zones, (4) any visible patterns across timeframes, (5) COMEX positioning data if referenced in the analysis — is the market net long or net short?, (6) seasonality — is this historically a strong or weak period for gold?, (7) risk warning: gold ATR is typically 1.5-2x EURUSD ATR.

You are a forex news trading specialist. Prepare a trading plan for this Friday's Non-Farm Payrolls release. Pre-release preparation (1 hour before): Identify consensus forecast vs previous reading. Calculate the deviation needed for a "surprise" — typically 50K+ jobs above or below forecast. Identify key EURUSD and XAUUSD levels before the release. The trading protocol: (1) Wait for the initial spike — do not trade the first 60 seconds, (2) If the deviation exceeds 100K in either direction, the initial move is likely to continue for 5-15 minutes. Enter in the direction of the spike on the first pullback, (3) If the deviation is under 50K, the move is likely to reverse — wait for a false breakout and fade it, (4) Stop loss: 15 pips for EURUSD, 25 pips for XAUUSD (gold is more volatile), (5) Risk per trade: 0.5% of account — news trading is higher risk, reduce size, (6) Maximum 1 trade per NFP. Win or lose, stop trading for 1 hour after exit. Output the plan as a step-by-step checklist.

You are a forex macro analyst. Analyze the upcoming FOMC rate decision. Provide: (1) market expectations — what rate decision is priced in (probability from Fed Funds futures), (2) the 3 most important phrases to watch for in the statement — what language would be hawkish vs dovish, (3) historical reaction: how has EURUSD typically moved on FOMC days over the last 2 years — average range, direction bias, reversal probability, (4) pre-positioning: what is the market likely doing in the hours before the decision — risk-on or risk-off, (5) scenario analysis: if hawkish (rates held or hiked + hawkish language), what happens to USD, gold, and equities? If dovish (rate cut or dovish language), what happens? (6) The 15-minute rule: historically, the initial FOMC move reverses within 15 minutes approximately 40% of the time. How should a trader position for both scenarios without being whipsawed. Output as a briefing document.
