Trade Ideas

How are the comdolls faring this week and which market themes are dominating price action? Take a look at my midweek market analysis to find out!

So much for Lady Luck! EUR/AUD began to range over the latter part of last week, and unfortunately, I finally got stopped out on Friday. All those pips down the drain! Darn it!

My HLHB Trend-Catcher System’s performance last week was as action-packed as the Olympics! Although there were no big trends on EUR/USD, it still closed with a 150-pip gain!

It’s an exciting time for sports fans all over the world as the London 2012 Olympics are well underway! And it seems that the forex markets are joining in on the hype as well – they’ve been really active as of late!

I am looking at three pairs as I expect some risk to come off the table, despite Friday’s risk on. It’s a number of pullbacks and wicks that I’m thinking could be interesting.

Woohoo! Just when we thought that the “relief rally” has run out, ECB’s Draghi fueled the Aussie bulls’ fire! Here’s what happened to my AUD/USD swing trade.

Good morning, traders! Time to take a snapshot of the market and determine the top headlines that are dominating price action so far this week! Check out my top three economic themes for this week.

I love retracement trades! I feel that they are just so safe, as I already know the overall trend. I also get to use Fibonacci retracement levels, which is my favorite trading tool. Check out my short EUR/USD trade idea!

Good morning forex friends! I stepped away from the markets for a quick break, and during that time is looks like my EUR/USD short worked out thanks to technical resistance and last weekend’s Spanish bank bailout plan.

So this week, I’m hoping to replicate Ernie Els’ consistent performance and grab a winner or two, not in golf, but in forex! Hopefully, these charts will help me out:

How was my trading last week? Well, let’s just say I’ve had better. While the HLHB Trend-Catcher ended with a net win, both my GBP/USD and USD/CHF trades closed as losers. Boo!

Looks like the USD/CAD downtrend continued after all. Too bad I didn’t get to jump in! Was I right for waiting for price to hit my entry levels, or should I have entered at market? Here’s what happened.

After ranging for a couple of days, my second attempt at shorting EUR/JPY finally ended in victory! I’m now a believer – patience pays, fellas!

Is there anything sexier than a breakout? A breakout setup, I mean! I spotted one on GBP/USD and I have to say I’m smitten. Today, I’m buying GBP/USD!

Let my midweek market analysis guide you in trading the comdolls over the next few days! You don’t want to miss out on the bigger themes that are moving the markets lately!

I really thought I caught myself a winner with this one. I was up 83 pips at one point! Find out what happened to this EUR/JPY trade after the jump.

My HLHB Trend-Catcher system has definitely seen better weeks. Last week, it was treated to a fakeout galore! Meanwhile, my countertrend trade on USD/CHF is still alive, and but not really kicking.

What’s up, fellow forex fanatics! Your favorite one-eyed, forex trading monster is back with another set of awesome charts on EUR/JPY, GBP/JPY, and EUR/GBP!

It appears that it wasn’t only my discretionary trading that performed well in Q2 2012 but my mechanical system as well! After a quick review of my previous posts, it looks like the HLHB Trend-Catcher 3.0 also raked in the pips!

Boo hoo! This isn’t exactly how I wanted to kick off the third quarter! I was unable to move my stop to break even and USD/CAD hit my stop at 1.0175 later on. Drats!
