Trade Ideas

No matter how much weak euro zone data was thrown at it, euro bulls held strong and 1.3000 never really broke! Given the odd strength of the euro, I decided to reduce my risk and close it all down.

For this week’s featured trade, we’re bringing the spotlight on Bijoymj who has a neat and sweet multiple time frame analysis on NZD/USD. Check it!

Back to back wins, baby! Check out how I managed to close my EUR/GBP trade with a small win right before the weekend!

Now that the first games of the NBA Playoffs are finally behind us, I’m ready and itching to get some action of my own! Here are this week’s charts on EUR/JPY, GBP/JPY, and EUR/GBP.

What a volatile week! Currencies were just all over the place! One day, higher-yielding currencies were up on risk appetite. Then on the next, they suddenly drop like rocks due to risk aversion. Grrr!

Woohoo! The HLHB Trend-Catcher finishes the week with a gain on BOTH EUR/USD and GBP/USD!

Don’t you hate it when you’re both right and wrong about a trade? That was essentially the case as my directional bias and UK data expectations were negated by a misadjusted stop and a lot of volatility.

The market is so dang volatile this week! After rising on Tuesday, EUR/USD dropped like a rock in yesterday’s trading. Pip Diddy said that the almost-200-pip decline was caused by remarks from an ECB official saying that the central bank could cut rates. Ugh!

Here’s an awesome AUD/JPY trade by bobmaninc that reminds me I should look at the comdoll crosses more often! Check out his long trade idea.

Good morning forex friends! There wasn’t much of a break last week for USD/CHF as the pair hung around the .9300 area, despite more weak data from the US. With the start of a new week, and some really bad Chinese GDP data to kick it off, I closed my trade and moved on.

It’s Monday and y’all know what that means! A fresh dose of my Weekly Watch!

I hope you all had a good weekend like I did at the first weekend of Coachella. Now it’s time to go back to trading. Here’s my take on the forex market for this coming week.

Drats! AUD/JPY shot up before it tested the 38.2% Fib and eventually hit my profit target! I had to cancel my orders! What rotten luck!

For this week’s featured trade we’ll take a look at youngtader07’s 160-pip win on EUR/NZD. Is that awesome or what?

I spy with my pretty little eye a potential Fibonacci play on USD/CHF. Let me tell you all about my trade idea for this week!

The HLHB had better luck on EUR/USD in last week’s trading as the pair trended. It scored a lot of small wins and only had one loss. Unfortunately, it did not perform positively in GBP/USD.

Good afternoon forex friends! My, oh my how time flies as we head into April, which means Q1 2013 is now in the books. As always, it’s that time again where I take a moment to look back at how I did from January through March.

Once again, Draghi threw in a few comments that surprised market players, and when coupled with massive moves thanks to the BOJ, it was quite an active few sessions for currencies. Here’s a review of how I played EUR/USD through it all last week.
