Like the title of this blog suggests, making pips in the Forex is easier said than done. This "reality blog" will allow you to follow my life as a Forex trader. I'll not only discuss trades, but also my emotions during these trades. You'll see my ups and downs, my highs and lows, and my smiles and tears.

Daily Chart Art - June 7, 2012

EUR/USD: Daily

EUR/USD Daily Chart

If you're still waiting to short the euro, then this setup is for you! On EUR/USD's daily chart is a potential resistance at the Fibonacci retracement levels. Not only is it near a previous support zone, but the area is also just below the 1.3000 major psychological handle. Stochastic just left the oversold zone though, so you might want to let this play out for a while.

GBP/USD: 1-hour

GBP/USD 1-hour Chart

After breaking above the triangle that I pointed out yesterday, Cable is once again consolidating at a possible bullish pennant. If you haven't done your reading at the School of Pipsology, then you should know that pennants usually signal continuation for a trend. Are the pound bulls ready for another push? Make sure you have your stop losses ready if you're planning on day trading this setup!

USD/CHF: Daily

USD/CHF Daily Chart

Last up for today is another Fib retracement setup, this time on USD/CHF. If the pair breaks below its current levels (.9550), then the next possible support area is around .9300. The level has not only served as a good support and resistance area in the past, but it's also near the 61.8% Fib retracement. Do you think that the pair will fall all the way to the .9300 handle? Give a holla, brotha!

Before you get carried away with all these chart patterns, remember that technical analysis is only half the story.

To get the complete picture and avoid getting blindsided by economic data, you also have to do your fundamental analysis.

Lucky for us, Pip Diddy fills us in on what we need to know about fundamentals with his Daily Forex Fundamentals.
