Trade Ideas

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!

I caught a bit of luck on my AUD/JPY and both my profit targets were hit! Boomshakalaka! Read on to find out how it all went down!

Good morning! The BOE’S Monetary Policy committee came out as expected with no changes to the interest rate or their asset purchase program. But it was the surprise rate cut from China that kick started the markets into risk-on mode, and me into exiting my trade early.

I’m hoping to extend my winning streak by going long on EUR/USD. Are you with me?

Can you believe that we’re already halfway into the trading week? Let’s list down the market themes that have been dominating price action so far this week!

Finally! I guess this is what they mean when they say patience pays! After two weeks of waiting for some action, EUR/GBP finally popped higher and my profit target was hit!

Guess I was wrong about a new trend forming on EUR/AUD! The pair didn’t stay below 1.2800 for long, and it eventually broke above the 38.2% Fib level. Drats!

Winner, winner, I got me a trip to the jeweler! Well, I didn’t really get myself any bling-bling. I just wanted to make it rhyme. However, I think I could have if I wanted to after a winning week!

The Spurs’ 20-game winning streak and Victoria Azarenka’s run at another Grand Slam title may have come to an end, but the yen’s rally on the charts lives on! Will the yen crosses continue to sink or are they about to bottom out?

Yipee! Even if I’m a little disappointed that my second entry order didn’t get triggered, I’m still giddy over my recent win. Not bad for a day trade, huh?

It seems to be the story of my Q2 performance as the market went my way without the pullback I was looking for. Check out how USD/CHF played out during this week’s risk-off bonanza! Check it!

Well, well, well… What do we have here? It looks like Cable just broke a very significant support level!

After marking the important chart levels and identifying trade setups, it’s time to concentrate on fundamental analysis! What economic themes have been dominating markets so far this week?

Argh, that was close! Although my reasons for holding the trade open over the weekend were valid, I can’t help but feel like I could’ve done something to gain more pips from this trade. Got any tips?

Another not-so-good week for my HLHB Trend-Catcher system. Should I start getting worried?

Prepare yourselves for another week of cross-currency trading by taking a look at our must-watch levels on EUR/JPY, GBP/JPY, and EUR/GBP!

Do you see what I see on EUR/USD? Yup, I’m giving EUR/USD another shot. Hopefully, this time around, I won’t miss the boat!

All the charthacking in the world – without the proper order entry plan – is never going to make any of your trading plans an actionable reality. And yet, it’s often the order entry aspect of an entry or management that remains UNdiscussed.

Is risk aversion here to stay? And are my potential trade setups still valid? Check out midweek market analysis to find out!

It has been an interesting last 24 hours for the Japanese Yen. And while the BOJ didn’t play out as thought it would–this time–it was a surprise announcement from Fitch that helped my idea turn into a positive outcome.
