Trade Ideas

Only a few more days before we say goodbye to September! End the month strong by reading up on what’s been happening in the markets so far this week!

I’ve probably eaten 15 pints of ice cream already after missing the 100-pip move on GBP/USD by TWO measly pips! Ugh! But I have a plan… I hope it’s not yet too late to jump in on the trend.

This is a webinar I recently did and I think there’s plenty here for both the new and experienced traders to benefit from. The idea is to be honest about mistakes I made very early on in my career and to share points that are not the usual “mistakes” that are often discussed.

Thanks to a strong intraday rally by the Aussie last Friday, AUD/JPY surged back above the 82.00 handle, leaving me with an ugly loss.

I’ve definitely had better weeks. Not only did I lose on my USD/CHF trade, my HLHB Trend-Catcher system also ended the week in the red. Ugh! I think I need ice cream to pick me up… lots of it!

After watching Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal, and Manchester City bank a few goals over the weekend, I’m pumped to score a few pips myself!

This is so frustrating. As you all probably know by now, my USD/CHF trade didn’t work out very well. After my limit sell got triggered, market sentiment took a turn for the worse which resulted in wide-spread risk version.

Just when I thought that I had a good trade setup this week, two wildcards had showed up to drag the Loonie against the Greenback!

How are the comdolls faring this week and which themes are moving the markets these days? Take a look at my midweek market review!

Good evening forex friends! My boy Big Pippin’ spotted a nice channel on USD/JPY, so I broke it down to the lower timeframes and saw a nice setup to short again. Check it out!

Ah, ’tis a sad week for the HLHB Trend-Catcher 3.0. Even though the pair trended upwards, the extreme volatility during the middle of the week prevented my system from profiting. There is some good news though…

After all those exciting moves last week, I’m sure y’all are raring to get the party started this week! Check out all the key levels on EUR/JPY, GBP/JPY and EUR/GBP after the jump!

Phew! Good thing I decided to sit on the sidelines with this one as the FOMC surprised the markets with another round of easing.

I missed out on all the action this week, but it’s okay! You know what they say, having no positions IS still a position. I do have an idea what pair I’ll be trading next week though. Let me tell you why.

So much for trying to play a breakout! With the SNB deciding to keep the EUR/CHF peg at 1.2000, we didn’t see a spike in EUR/CHF, and I decided to just take off my orders.

I sound a little like Buzz Lightyear fro Toy Story but I don’t want anyone thinking that the trades I outline in today’s video are only for the RBNZ event…

Good morning forex friends! It looks like I got pretty lucky with my directional bias, but not so lucky on how deep the pullback would be. Take the jump to checkout how USD/CHF acted ahead of the FOMC meeting.

Before you trade the potential market movers coming up in a few hours, let’s take a peek at the major themes that have been moving price action so far this week.

It may have taken a while, but my patience finally paid off! Thanks to rumors of a new peg, EUR/CHF shot up late last week, allowing my trade to finally hit my profit target.

I can’t recall the last time I said this but last week was awesome! Not only did my HLHB Trend-Catcher system end the week in the green, I also raked in a 1.53% gain on my discretionary account!
