Every day, I try to find what I believe is the best-looking short-term currency trade setup for the upcoming trading day or week. If you're a forex newbie, it can be tricky trying to figure out how to look at charts and draw lines. My goal is to help you understand the psychology behind price movements in the foreign exchange markets, so you can learn to analyze your own currency charts and trade on your very own.

Pick of the Day: USD/CHF

Tomorrow morning we have one of the most volatile, market moving reports in the U.S. Non-Farm Payroll report. It is a very dangerous report to play and I recommend to take the trading day off since we’re up +67 pips for the week. For those of you who still want to trade I recommend waiting …

Trade Review: EUR/JPY

We saw strong movements after the early morning E-12 reports, but not enough to enter our trade levels. This pair has been in range trading mode for a couple of days, and I would suspect it will continue that way through the end of the week. No trade.

Traders are sitting on the sidelines waiting for a catalyst now and hopefully we can find one with the GfK Consumer Confidence report later.

Pick of the Day: EUR/JPY

The Euro has made a nice run up in the last few weeks against many pairs, not just the dollar. It looks like this run has been exhausted on the hourly chart as I have pointed out a head and shoulders pattern. You can even pick out a double top on the right side of …

Trade Review: AUD/USD

It seems in the last few days this pair has been stuck in a range between the 23% and 32% Fibonacci area. It looks like the correction may be exhausted and a continuation of a bullish run up may be in store for the Aussie. No trade was entered from this recommendation, but I will …

Pick of the Day: AUD/USD

For those of you who have checked out my signals blog, you already know that I’m heading to Europe for a little bit of rest and relaxation. So, today’s pick is actually a “Pick of the Week.” This is a little bit longer term trade idea to hold it down until the end of next …
