Trade Ideas

Since all of the euro zone’s troubles seem to be back in vogue, I’ve decided to look for an opportunity to short EUR/USD. More after the jump!

Looks like I chose the wrong time to sell the yen. Thanks to a sharp drop in yen crosses, AUD/JPY took a much bigger dip than I anticipated.

Mixed week for my Trend-Catcher system. It closed with a small loss on EUR/USD but finished with a win on GBP/USD. Lemme tell you all about it in my HLHB Weekly Update!

I outline the process I go through to see if the volatility is something that leads to a trade entry. You see I am not trading the volatility for the sake of the movement alone – I am MORE interested in where that price movement leads the pair.

Success! After many losing trades, I have finally managed to catch a very big win! Check out how I fared in my EUR/USD short setup.

It’s a brand new week, which means that it’s time for me to put my thinking cap on and analyze the market. This week, I’m watching EUR/USD and GBP/USD.

With the NBA All-Star weekend coming to an end, it’s time for me to get back on the grind! Here are the key levels to watch out for on EUR/JPY, GBP/JPY, and EUR/GBP!

So much for not getting my heart broken on Valentine’s Day! Just when I thought NZD/USD was headed my way after it dipped to .8460, the pair zoomed right back up as the quarterly retail sales report beat expectations. Here’s what happened.

Mixed week for the HLHB Trend-Catcher last week! While it was able to score a win on EUR/USD, it finished with a small loss on GBP/USD.

It looks like it was a one-way road for Cable as the pair continued its decent to 1.55 without the pullback I was hoping for to add to my position. With a major area of interest being tested and the G20 summit weekend coming quick, it’s time to call this swing trade quits.

These last two weeks my open trades list has been active. It’s easy to get caught up in simply managing the positions and not think about making sure that when I eventually scale out of these trades I will have others to enter and manage. That’s why it is so important to have an active RADAR.

What market themes have dominated the markets this week and which events have the potential to dictate price action over the next couple of days?

Well, that didn’t last long! With the GBP taking a hit to the mid-section during the London session, EUR/GBP soared higher and hit my stop loss! Find out more after the jump!

I know, I know. I’m off to a bad start in 2013. I still haven’t scored a winning trade YET, but that doesn’t mean I’m giving up! Here’s what I plan to do this coming week.

It seems that I jumped in the trend too late on this one as the ascending trend line that I was watching broke quickly after my trade had triggered.

Good evening! It looks like going with technicals for the Friday session didn’t pan out as Cable rallied higher on a sentiment shift of flows from the eurozone to the UK.

So much for a retracement! Thanks to yesterday’s risk aversion, AUD/USD went on its merry way south and failed to trigger my entry orders. Here’s what happened exactly.

With the ECB rate statement just around the corner, I think it’s time to make some adjustments to my EUR/CHF position.
