Trade Ideas

Good morning forex fiends! It looks like the market doesn’t want to play nice with me as it barely touches my first short level (1.5650), or narrowly misses it, and does not trigger my trade. I’ll take it as a sign to stay out of the markets, so that’s what I’ll do…

Okay, who put the wheels on Father Time? We’re already in the middle of the week! Let’s take a look at what themes have been moving our currency pairs so far this week.

As I mentioned in the comments, I decided against taking this trade. The signals just didn’t line up. There were no reversal candlesticks and the rising trend line did not hold.

Woohoo! It feels to great to start the week off by closing a winning trade! Read on to find out why I decided to lock in my profits just above parity.

What’s up fellow forex fanatics! Cyclopip here, and I’m back with another set of charts of your favorite cross-currency pairs!

Well, what can I say? Last week turned out to be a good one for the HLHB system as it was able to bring in 153 pips!

Thanks to bad global manufacturing data and bank downgrades, it was risk-off all over the place between Thursday and Friday’s trading session. EUR/USD quickly visited the 1.2700 before dropping; unfortunately I didn’t get to catch it. Here’s what happened…

Aw, man! My fundamental analysis was correct, but I just picked the wrong pair!

What an exciting action-packed week for the comdolls! Stay on top of this week’s events by taking a look at the themes that have been moving the markets these past few days.

I know, I know. I should’ve let y’all know that I got stopped out at breakeven on this long trade nearly a week ago, but I was still wallowing deep in regret back then. Better late than never though!

Good morning forex friends! USD/CHF moved higher as expect, but I was a bit off on my entry as it didn’t find resistance until the next Fib higher. Luckily, the area did hold as resistance, and with no potential catalysts coming up, I decided to close out and look for a new opportunity.

Another awesome weekend, another couple days full of sporting events! Could this be an omen that we’re in for an action-packed week for the cross-currency pairs?

Remember that last signal that formed on my HLHB Trend Catcher last week? Well, it closed with a nice 113-pip win! It also allowed my system to remain in the green despite incurring a couple of fakeouts.

Good morning forex friends! This past weekend, it looks like Spain will get a little bit of cash, ok maybe a lot of cash, to shore up it’s banking sector. As expected, this caused a big ol’ gap higher in EUR/USD, but will it last?

Weee! Our AUD/USD descending triangle setup worked like a charm! After breaking above parity though, I think it’s wise not to push my luck. Here’s why I closed my position with a 68-pip win.

Drats! Just when I thought I had another perfect entry, my fortunes changed quickly and Guppy broke the rising trend line!

I see that an ascending triangle has formed on the hourly chart of Cable. This pattern is normally considered bullish, but not all the time. Given the current market environment and the overall long-term trend, I think it’s actually going to break to the downside!

With barely any report coming from major economies, what market themes have been getting the investors’ attention so far this week? I got it right here on my midweek market analysis!

It was another awesome week for me as both my HLHB Trend-Catcher account and live account clocked in gains. It was 50-pips for the HLHB Trend-Catcher and 130 pips for my EUR/USD discretionary trade!

It’s hard to imagine this week living up to last week’s hype, but I took a look at the charts of our favorite crosses (EUR/JPY, GBP/JPY, and EUR/GBP), and I sense a lot of potential!
