Trade Ideas

I can feel butterflies fluttering in my tummy. No, I’m not in love. It just so happens that my GBP/USD trade worked out PERFECTLY. Gosh, did I miss this feeling!

Good morning! As speculated, momentum carried over from yesterday as we saw further “risk-off” moves during the Asia and morning European sessions. Unfortunately for my trade idea, the retracement in EUR/USD was way too shallow for me to jump in. Check it out!

Even though AUD/USD was able to make a strong rally before the week closed, I wasn’t able to bag any pips because I got stopped out early on. What could I have done better? Help me out!

And AUD/USD takes the cake again! For the second week in a row, this pair trumped its comdoll buddies and made the biggest moves across the charts. Check out how my trading strategies could’ve scored a 10:1 win with this one!

Leave it to Guppy to make it rain pips! The volatile pair delivered two awesome trade setups last week. One was good for about 200 pips while the other could’ve given you about 300 pips! Money in the bank, son!

What do you know… Thanks to the huge euro rally, the HLHB Trend-Catcher system had an EXTREMELY good week!

There was no stopping the Guppy train yesterday, as higher-yielding currencies ruled the day. Unfortunately for me, my buy order didn’t get hit and I missed the move!

Because it looks like the euro bulls are having all the fun in the markets, I thought I would join their camp too. I hope I’m not too late!

It’s a “no go” on my day trade as the market dip wasn’t enough to trigger my orders at Tuesday’s lows. It’s a shame because euro bulls jumped back in with force! Check it out!

Ever wished that you closed your trade before a major economic report was released? I know I have! At least for this trade anyway. Here’s what happened to my swing trade.

The EUR/USD’s rally today was a correction of the overall downtrend that can seen on the daily chart. This trend view from the daily is the most psychologically relevant opinion and therefore the most dominant view of the pair – regardless of today’s intraday move higher.

The NFP week has always been a big mover for the comdolls, and last week was no exception! Here’s a 710-pip setup I found on AUD/USD that could’ve yielded a 6.17:1 reward-to-risk trade. Were you able to profit from this setup?

Some say that being a contrarian pays off, and last week, it certainly did on EUR/JPY! Here’s a sweet setup you could have taken on EUR/JPY that would have yielded an awesome 3.5:1 trade!

Good afternoon! The week has already kicked off and it looks like volatility has not yet left the building. The European debt and banking issues continue to drive sentiment, but earlier today, Bernanke’s testimony to Congress may have setup another opportunity to play the overall trend.

What does 100/1/1 STA, WATR, or DATR mean? Here’s a guide to our STA Strategy is, how to calculate the ATR, plus a few tips on when and how to use these.

Thanks to a sudden wave of risk appetite, comdolls like the Australian dollar managed to tear up the charts yesterday. Unfortunately for me, this caused AUD/JPY to break its falling trend line! Drats!

I missed out on the move that could’ve gotten me my third win in a row. Oh, phooey! But it’s all good. Remember that HLHB Trend-Catcher open trade I had last Friday? Well, it turned out to be a 120-pip winner!

I wonder if good luck comes in three’s too. I spotted this setup on Cable and I’m keeping my fingers crossed that I would be able to extend my winning streak to three. Wish me luck!

I have been waiting for a pullback in the USD/CAD and it’s here. The set up as well as my view on trends are explained here in this video, just 11 minutes!

Yipee! Finally a win for me! My long USD/CAD trade worked like a charm and I was able to bag 120 pips on the trade. But there’s still a lot of improvement so I decided to figure out how I could’ve played this trade better. Got anything to add?
