About Chartology

With "Chartology", you'll be sitting in the front row as I discuss price action analysis, market cycles, chart pattern setups, optimal trading time and volatility analysis, as well as the psychology behind price action. Put these tools together and you're looking at how to begin mastering the charts. In fact, be sure to watch the "Your Forex Questions Answered" video here.

Every day, occasionally more often, I'll additionally discuss order entry, U.S. Dollar Index, crude oil, gold, and the Dow. Forex trading allows and requires a viewpoint that goes beyond simply analyzing the pairs. I'll explain in detail how I scan for trades — I call it "triage" — how I set up trades proactively, and how I manage entries and risk. Trading isn't all that diffcult but the process of finding your tools and approach and trusting them is. So here's your front row in my trading office, thanks for reading, let's get going!

Want a look at my open and pending trades?

The USD/JPY got everyone's attention but for me this was mainly follow-through from last week's pullbacks. I don't want to scramble in with everyone else - I'd rather build a position on corrections when I have a trend. Read more

Comm-dolls take it on the chin

Last week there was a move in comm-dolls that suggested that there may be strength as Japanese yen flooded the market looking for yield. Of course that all comes tumbling down - for now - but could that play reemerge? Read more

The details of my GBP/NZD Short & How I trade economic events explained!

Keep your head up and eyes forward.

These last two weeks my open trades list has been active. It's easy to get caught up in simply managing the positions and not think about making sure that when I eventually scale out of these trades I will have others to enter and manage. That's why it is so important to have an active RADAR. Read more

from my morning chat: How I am prepping for FOMC & RBNZ today

Today's Dow weakness did a number of things for me not the least of which is get me flat as I saw the YM (Dow futures) tumble through 13,100. Read more

This is how I manage trades and profit targets.

Oftentimes there is so much emphasis on the entry that the management is often not discussed enough and we all know that without a OLSID exit plan (stop loss AND profit targets) the wheels can fall off the wagon on a trade... Read more

Webinar: Mistakes that Traders Need to Recognize

This is a webinar I recently did and I think there's plenty here for both the new and experienced traders to benefit from. The idea is to be honest about mistakes I made very early on in my career and to share points that are not the usual "mistakes" that are often discussed. Read more
