Trade Ideas

I had a strong feeling that NZD/USD would plummet all the way down to the .8000 handle yesterday… and it did! Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to dive in as the pair didn’t reach my entry level. How could I have played this trade better?

With the ECB rate decision behind us, I think we’ve eliminated some of the event risk surrounding this trade. So let me give you guys a quick update on this EUR/JPY setup… just as I had promised!

Good day folks! I’ve got an awesome trade idea on EUR/USD today that I have a lot of confidence in. Check it out!

It’s that time of the week, guys! Wanna know what market themes have been influencing currency price action so far this week? Take a look at my list!

Usually the conversation surrounding a Dow rally is dollar weakness but not today, the market’s fallen down the “QE” rabbit hole.

My HLHB Trend-Catcher didn’t have a good week last week. Out of the 11 valid trade signals that materialized, only two ended up as winners. Boo!

The NBA playoffs are here, baby! Hopefully I can score a win this week just like Kevin Durant and Thunder did in their playoff opener yesterday!

After days of managing my risk exposure, I finally bit the bullet on my NZD/USD trade. Too bad it didn’t go as well as I had expected, but I still managed to end with a teensy win! Here’s what happened.

Since I didn’t get triggered ahead of the BOJ monetary policy meeting, I decided to cancel my sell orders. But I’ve also got other plans up my sleeves! Check my update to read all about it!

Good evening! It looks like my hopes to play USD/CHF were dashed this week as the rest of the market was eager to short the Dollar ahead of the much anticipated FOMC. Come see how it all played out!

I was correct in saying that Cable would breakout of its consolidation once the GDP report gets released. Unfortunately, I was on the wrong side!

Things haven’t been turning out the way I planned on CAD/JPY, so I decided to cut my losses and exit early. I took a small hit, but I think it was the right decision.

The signal from two weeks ago turned out to be a huge winner, bagging me 122 pips. Unfortunately, the HLHB Trend-Catcher 3.0 was more or less breakeven last week. It had 2 winning trades, 2 losing trades, and a lot of invalid signals!

I still can’t get over Real Madrid’s defeat of FC Barcelona in this weekend’s El Clasico! Hopefully, we’ll score a big win as well with these must-watch levels on EUR/JPY, GBP/JPY, and EUR/GBP!

Even after a big surprise from an MPC member this week on quantitative easing, the 1.6000 held pretty steady as resistance–until the UK retail sales report! Check out how the last major report for the week left me with a sour start to the weekend!

Thanks to conflicting signals on different time frames, I decided to take a rain check on the “breakout” trade that I spotted. Good thing I did! Here’s what happened to my trade.

Will the pound continue trading higher? I think so! That’s why I’ve come up with this trade idea to go long on GBP/USD. If it works out as planned, I will have a 2:1 reward-to-risk ratio on this trade. Not bad, eh?

Awww, it looks like the bulls have returned! After I closed the first half of my position at 1.3000, price immediately reversed and returned to my entry point. A win is a win though, so I guess I should be happy.
