About Pick of the Day

Pick of the Day Author

At the end of each trading day, I will find what I believe is the best looking short term trade setup for the upcoming trading day. If you're a forex newbie, it can be tricky in the beginning trying to figure out how to look at charts and draw lines. My goal is help you understand the psychology of price movements so you can learn to analyze your own charts and trade on your very own. Trades will be posted by 1 am ET, Monday through Thursday evening.

Pick of the Day: EUR/USD

Usually, I don't ever really touch this currency pair for my "Pick of the Day" because it's Big Pippin's thing, but how could I pass up a trade on it with an ECB interest rate decision tomorrow morning! Now all the markets pundits are saying that a 25 basis point rate hike is "guaranteed," while a few are looking for a possible 50 basis point rate hike. We won't know for sure until tomorrow, but what I do know is that market sentiment is exceptionally net long the euro. It looks like traders are in position or poised for a strong upside move. So, in today's pick we hope for a strong move to the upside, but we will take quick profits to counter any large profit taking we may see shortly after the release. Also, we'll have a tight stop, just in case there is a surprise to the downside. Here's the trade:

Long EUR/USD at 1.2850, stop at 1.2820, pt1 at 1.2870, pt2 at 1.2900

Good luck and good trading!
