Another 10 points out of the market GBP/USD

I just used my proprietary chart setups to identify a lovely quick short GBP/USD trade for another 10 points today. I was in the market at 2.06125 and out at 2.05990 taking into account the spread of 3.5 pips making a 10 point gain.
Part of this trade was based on a really cool pattern you […]

GBP/USD long @ 2.0608

This is a beauty. Clasic pattern called a “Double Bottom” Only EXPERIENCED traders are able to spot this trade (and those in my forex program). I’m long in cable at 2.0608.These trades are virtually guaranteed every time.
More to follow. [Snapshots of before and after]…This is what makes forex trading some darn brilliant once you know […]

Some trading ideas from AVAFX group…

EUR/USD:
Short strategy: 1.4860 STOP LOSS 1.4870
TARGETTING: 1.4773, 1.4746
USD/JPY
LONG strategy @ 108.95 STOP LOSE @ 108.85
TARGETTING: 109.48, 109.70
GBP/USD
Short @ 2.0747 STOP LOSS at 2.0757
TARGETTING: 2.0637, 2.0600
I like these strategies because they set a tight stop loss and have open targetting to allow profits to run. These are the kind of strategies you will be able to come […]

Patience

Although there was sufficient evidence to short the GBP/USD - technical analysis said short at 2.0850 and my charts said sell at 2.0750 and there has been a 100 point move. I have to say I am out of the market and have not traded today. I am flat and have just watched a 100 […]

Favoring Buying GBP, Selling USD/JPY

My charts and various research suggest bullishness in GBP over next few days and also an opportunity to buy th YEN against the dollar (ie sell USD/JPY). Because I trade intraday, this means I will not be holding positions, but looking for opportunities to get in and out of the market in times of 5 […]

Choppy market…

We see a choppy market.
GDP coming out in 1 hour expected to be lower than last time.
GDP is gross domestic product, general economic indicator.
Later, FOCM minutes released during afternoon US session.
Saxo “bank” gave a prediction that there is a 75% chance of a floor forming for the USD and a 25% chance of a release […]

Last night and this morning…

I exited last night (Asia trade) with 10 points profit after waiting and waiting with 12 points profit for further, I threw in the towel and went to bed.
I have been long from my “one chart wonder” strategy since 8.35 am this morning GMT and will be exiting shortly if the support does not hold […]

GBP comments…

My charts have been biased towards bullishness on the GBP since the open of the New Zealand session up until now.
I have just scalped a short in GBP/USD based on a turning CCI between 2.0583 and 2.0572.
On the daily chart, volume has been decreasing ovr the last several days. This is a bearish signal.
The majority […]
