Losing streaks aren’t uncommon in the trading world. Every trader at one point or another hits a losing streak. Trust me, even the most consistently profitable pros have their slumps.

Boy did I miss out on the action on the charts this week. I had four trade ideas but I got in none of them since I didn’t get the confirmation signals that I wanted. Heck, even my HLHB system just sat on the sidelines. As if that’s not bad enough, my home girl Hayley Reinhart got eliminated from Idol! Sigh.

Lookin’ to add a bit of Asian flavor to your trading? I’ve got just the thing for you with these yen crosses! GBP/JPY, EUR/JPY, and AUD/JPY are on the menu! Dig in, boys!

After a long wait, I was finally able to grab some pips today! See how it all went down in today’s Cowabunga Surf Report.

Since I’ve tackled all the other majors already (EUR/USD, GBP/USD, USD/CHF), I decided to make my last trade idea for the week on USD/JPY. I also want to make sure it’s high probability, so I’m going with the medium-term trend! Hope you like it.

Looks like my swing trade is gonna be a ‘no go’ this week as Cable failed to break resistance this week 1.6300. Check out how GBP/USD has moved so far this week!

The New Zealand Dollar continues to defy gravity. The currency known also as the kiwi is gaining on expectation that commodities will continue their overall uptrend. Benefiting from both economic and geographic ties to China, the New Zealand economy is benefiting from the “risk on” psychology of seeking higher-yielding assets

Brace yourselves for some major moves by the major currency pairs! I spotted awesome setups on EUR/USD, USD/JPY, and USD/CHF so make sure you check ’em out right now!

They say the third time is the charm. Will I finally get to pull the trigger on my third trade idea for the week? I’m looking at a possible Fib play on Cable!

Ack. Well that didn’t go well. My trade got bashed from both sides of the equation!

Commodity currencies have been seeing some wild swings lately so I decided to put up a comdoll special on my chart art. Check out the chart patterns I spotted and brace yourselves for breakouts!

We had a close call today but didn’t end up getting any signals. Remember to wait until conditions are just right before you jump on your “pip” board! See how it all went down in today’s Cowabunga Surf Report.

Yipee! Make that a hundred pips for me! Breakout trades aren’t that scary after all, huh? Read on to find out how I (finally!) snagged a 100-pip win with USD/CAD.

One thing I’ve learned in technical analysis is that the more times a support or resistance level is tested, the more likely it is to break and the stronger the resulting breakout will be. Since a falling trend line resistance has been holding nicely in EUR/USD, I’ve decided to put my idea to the test!

I have a euro special on my plate today, brothas! Check out my sweet setups on EUR/USD, EUR/GBP, and EUR/JPY!

Unfortunately we took a small spill today but we always have to get back on our pip surf board and be ready for the next big wave. See how it all went down in today’s Cowabunga Surf Report.

For the third week in a row, AUD/USD takes the crown for my best comdoll setup of the week! Should I have traded this one instead? See how we could’ve made an easy 500 pips on a rising trendline break.

So my “bribe” (term coined by a reader) did not work and I failed to get those 50 followers on my . Still, I decided to go through with my plan and write up a trade idea every night for or the next 4 days. After all, what’s losing a bit of sleep for my readers? Right…?

I’m pretty sure I’m thinking the exact same thing you’re thinking right now… “Where was I when this potential 13:1 trade went down??”

It’s the start of another trading week, brothas! Get over your weekend hangover by checking out my awesome setups on GBP/USD, USD/JPY, and EUR/CHF!
