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: NZD/USD - Close Trades

Trade Closed: 2007-02-05 07:55

Our first short order triggered during the Euro trading session and reached profitability for +30 pips. Our second trade order was triggered as well. Stochastics look to be in the oversold area, so with the current market price at .6815 I will close the second trade order to lock another +5 pips. Congrats to those who caught some pips!

1st Half: +30 pips
2nd Half: +5 pips
Total: +35 pips

Welcome to another week of Forex trading, and for tonight's Pick we'll take a look at NZD/USD. We have a nice little Fibonacci retracement setup as we see the pair rising after making a strong move from about .6900 to about .6760. Stochastics and RSI are floating around overbought territory, so we will scale into a short position in NZD/USD.

Short half position NZD/USD at 0.6855, stop at 0.6885, pt at 0.6825

Short half position NZD/USD at 0.6820, stop at 0.6860, pt at 0.6780

Remember to never risk more that 1% of your account on any single trade, so please adjust your position sizes accordingly.

It is hard to find any good trends at the early start of the week - but that was a great find Pipcralwer! I went short on the first order but decided to stop after because the charts were showing oversold and it looked like it ran out of steam. But well done - it has made my monday much more interesting :)
Thanks for the comments Pete! Glad to make your Monday a little more interesting!
