Good Morning Traders,

The Following Trading Signals are a Analysis of GBP/USD & EUR/USD

Rather neutral news from Europe has been the reason that EUR/USD did not leave its sideways range.  There was an interesting short trade in USD/CAD in the afternoon where 29 pips were on offer due to good news of the Canadian Gross Domestic Product.

Expectations for Today’s Trading

After the early morning movement I will be expecting more volatility in the afternoon today.

Trading Chances for Today
GBP/USD
Early Cable losses and now appears to be parked in a sideways range.
Long @ 1.4555
Take-Profit @ 1.4595-1.4605
Stop-Loss @ 1.4520
Short @ 1.4450
Take-Profit @ 1.4385-65
Stop-Loss @ 1.4490

EUR/USD
EURUSD also lost some strength over night and is now in a mini sideways range.
Long @ 1.2320
Take-Profit @1.2370-90
Stop-Loss @ 1.2285
Short @ 1.2230
Take-Profit @ 1.2185-1.2160
Stop-Loss @ 1.2275
 
Always take care of your stop management and consider your money and risk to reward ratio.  Never over expose yourself.

EUR/USD…Greece we are coming!!!

Hello Friends and Traders,

There was a long lasting sideways range in the EUR/USD chart.  However, I had some fine trades in GBP/USD & Oil.

Profit of the day: 52 pips.

In the morning I did not expect this result, it was a bank holiday in the UK and there have often been false break-outs, mini trades with only a few pips.

Looking Back
After a range between 1.3205 and 1.3250 the course of EUR/USD and GBP/USD lost a lot after Germany’s Chancellor Angela Merkel promise for the Greek aid package.

It seemed as if the whole world was waiting, will it go further on with Greece.

Further the economic news of Switzerland, the European Currency Union and USA has been positive.  

However, let’s stop talking here.  It is more important, how the markets will go on today.

High Impact Announcements for Today
09:30 GBP Manufacturing PMI
15:00 USD Pending Home Sales m/m

Medium Impact Announcements for Today.
07:00 EUR German Retail Sales m/m
09:30 GBP Net Lending to Individuals m/m
15:00 USD Factory Orders m/m

However, let’s wait and see.  I would expect more movement in GBP/USD than yesterday; also in EURUSD it could be more volatile when Wall Street opens.

When the markets are trending sideways like they are at the moment, they can be more difficult to trade.

Forex Trading Chances for Today
EUR/USD
EUR/USD lost a lot this morning due to the finished Greek package of the EU.
Today morning 04:30 GMT the cross pair is in a range between 1.3186-1.3214.
I would see trading chances for long above 1.3230 with take-profit at 1.3295-1.3320 and stop-loss at 1.3190.
For short there could be some chances below 1.3170 with take-profit 1.3120-1.3070 and stop-loss 1.3195.

GBP/USD
For GBP/USD it’s the same picture. The cross pair is now in a range between 1.5230-1.5264.
I would see trading chances for long above 1.5285 with take-profit at 1.5340-1.5360 and stop-loss at 1.5245.
For short there could be some chances below 1.5210 with take-profit 1.5140-1.5100 and stop-loss 1.5260.

Always take care of your stop management.

Trading Tip of the Day

Always check  your trading and look at different time scales.
What can you see?
Look at the 4-hour-chart, 1-hour-chart, etc.  Until you reach your favourite time scale for trading your given strategy. You will see a different view point and this could aid your trading.

Good Afternoon Friends,

Well I have not really been trading today, I have been busy helping out at my daughters school.

There was a early GBP/USD trade for 6.7 pips and really nothing else till the afternoon.

So when I started to look at around Wall St opening time I didn’t really see anything to trade my Stochastic Strategy to trade on.  There is an Oil announcement on a Wednesday so that tends to throw that into turmoil.  So to my surprise I noticed about 2.5 hours later the signals were there.  With it being a little later in the day than I am used to I decided to only go for 10 points.

Oil Trade

Other than the Oil which was a good trade, I didn’t use my Stochastic Strategy on any Forex Pairs.

Morning Friends,

As the airports open and the skies are full of travellers, I see the markets as this in the morning.

EUR/USD (Fiber)
I would see trading chances:
For Long above 13450, take profit at 13485-13500.  Stop Loss at 13430
For Short below 13395, take profit at 13350-13335.  Stop Loss at 13420

GBP/USD (Cable)
I would see trading chances:
For Long above 15400, take profit at 15460.  Stop Loss at 15360
For Short below 15305, take profit at 15250.  Stop Loss at 15345

Cable has been ranging between 15330 and 15378.  With the news coming in the morning there could be some good chances to earn good pips.

I have already taken over 22 pips this morning and will be placing my trades here soon.

Morning all,

Well there have been some big moves overnight again. Over the last month these have been attributed to the Dilema that Greece are currently facing. However I believe the latest slump is down to the Icelandic Volcanic dust that has currently grounded the majority of the European Airlines. I am adjusting this morning and will be short selling the Air France / KLM and British Airways. I will post my results here.

All that said I did see early signals on my Stochastic Strategy and took an early 10 points. I set a limit of 10.

Early Cable Stochastic Trade for 10 Points

So I am now waiting for the FTSE opening to see if this takes the markets even lower.

Back Soon

Good Morning Friends,

It feels like I have been away for a long time…some might say I should have been.

I even got up later than I would normally have done.  I did one early trade, before my 08:00 GMT.  Because it was this early I was only looking for a 10 point limit.

Cable Early trade

I am now taking my children out for the morning so will not be trading for a few more hours. I will be waiting for 14:30 GMT which is when Wall Street opens.

Have a good mornings trading and I will catch up with you all a little later

Good Morning,

And for all the people that understand “Pinch-Punch 1st of the Month!

If some of you out there think that I just roll out of bed and put on a couple of trades then hobble back into bed then I am going to give you a little insight into how my days is.

05:00 get out of bed, put the kettle on to make a mug of tea (Most important at this time of day) I drink Tazo Green Tea.  Boot up Laptop’s and PC’s.  While the systems are booting up, I read my Beliefs and then my Trading Plan, almost as important as the 1st mug of tea.  Then log in to ForexFactory to check the data and put the information into a skype chat that I am a member of.  Log in to IG Index and FXCM.  Load the charts up that for the Pairs that I watch GBP/USD (Cable), EUR/USD (Fiber) and Daily US Light Crude (Oil).  Decide on the levels of where I suspect the morning breakout to come from and draw lines.  Today my entry short on Cable will be 15170 and my long entry is 15245 just above the R1 Pivot (R1 = Resistance 1) checking pivots and indicators for my strategy (although I generally do not trade it before 08:00 GMT).  Now open up MetaTrader, again checking possible entry points for a pivot strategy that I trade.

05:30 once the 1st mug of tea has been drunk, make a second mug.  Now that the information from ForexFactory has been disected and categorised, the only ones we are truly interested in are High Impact Announcments and Medium Impact Announcements.  I place this in the skype chat for other members to view at a quick glance.

Now that these tasks have been done I then start to read.  The book I am currently reading is “Way of the Turtle” by Curtis M Faith.  This can be picked up at Amazon UK or Amazon USA.  I read at least one chapter, always keeping one eye on the charts.  As some of you may be aware I am writing my own book, I then write a few pages.

I bet you are thinking bloody hell there is a lot to do here, well before you know it the day is over.  I am not even at 07:00 GMT yet.

Just to keep you informed, I think the holiday’s have kicked in for some people, it is 10:30 GMT and I have not placed one trade yet.  Well it is now 17:50 GMT and I have not traded all day.  I gave up hours ago so I hope you all made money this afternoon UK & Europe and this morning for all my friends stateside.

Have a very happy holiday tomorrow.  I will not be around again until the end of next week, we are going away for a week to unwind with the family.

Afternoon Friends,

I hope you are all well and had a good morning trading.  I have decided to put my blog together in the afternoon today so that I can take into account the Oil breakout trade I do in the afternoons.

So I will start with this mornings trade, which I might add is a good place to start.  You may or may not be aware that for the morning breakout I normally set a limit of 12 points.

Cable Breakout 31/03

So then I was off taking the girls to school and missed a whole load of fun around 08:30 – 09:00 GMT.  Oh well 12 points are in the bag.

I was thinking around lunchtime, why would you ever let a winning trade turn into a loser, or not have a systematic way of taking profits, if you weren’t convinced the market was going your way indefinitely?  Why would you hesitate to take a trade or not put it on at all, unless you were conviced that it was a loser when the market was at your original entry point?  Why would you break your money management rules by trading too large a position relative to your equity or emotional tolerance to sustain a loss, if you weren’t positive that you had a sure thing?  and why would you, because you know that anything can happen when you are trading and you have your strategy.  Your strategy has as many indicators that you need to help tell you when to enter the trade and when to exit.

Well it was pick up the girls from school time and then to the Wednesday Oil breakout trade.  Very interesting trade this afternoon.  There were quite a few significant levels to get to grips with.  I had 2 OTO’s (Orders to Open) placed, one long and yes the other short.  I cancelled the long OTO, I was not convinced that the trade would go long, call it gut feeling or intuition.  I left the OTO short and when the market changed it did with vengence and I was very soon triggered in, thankfully I was never out of profit and was very soon 20 points to the good.

Oil Breakout

Although I was very pleased with my analysis of the market and the execution of the trade, a lot of my friends were all triggered long around 8347 and lost around 50+ points each.

Here is to another day.

To Your Trading Success.
