Trade Ideas

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?

Here we go, fellas! It’s time to take a look at which pair I think made the best setup of the week. Read on to find out why I picked NZD/USD.

Don’t you just love it when you look back and see that you played your cards right? Last week, EUR/JPY dished out two solid winners, and I was able to bag one of them!

Good afternoon fellow forex fanatics! It looks like that rising trendline turned into a great resistance area as the pair retested and dropped on a shift back into risk aversion. Check it out!

While I raked in pips in my live discretionary trading account, the HLHB Trend-Catcher System didn’t do too well this week. It received a lot of signals but most of them were fakeouts!

Winner, winner, bunny dinner! I finally got another decent win as the weekly open on EUR/JPY held like a charm!

And that’s two in a row! Yep, that’s right. I took profit on my EUR/USD trade yesterday and boy am I feeling giddy!

Remember when I had parity trade ideas on BOTH the Aussie and the Loonie? Well, I managed to save at least one trade! Luckily, one good decision was all it took to avoid losing pips on this trade.

Good morning! It looks like a plan from European leaders to contain the debt markets has squashed the massive fear moves, propelling traders to move out of their Dollar and Yen positions. As you may have guess, this was no good for my GBP/USD short…check it!

Support at parity? NOPE. For the gazollionth time, my perfectly valid setup on AUD/USD got foiled again! Here’s what happened to my trade idea.

Sometimes momentum is just too strong, and that’s exactly what happened last week! I missed out on my GBP/JPY entry as risk aversion kept the pair from making a substantial pullback.

Good morning, guys! Need an inspiration for catching pips this week? Here’s a 21:1 reward-to-risk setup that I found on AUD/USD’s price action last week! Oh, and have you met my newest BFF?

Darn, I never got the pullback I wanted on GBP/JPY! As it turns out, I should have paid a little more attention to EUR/GBP, which produced two really easy short opportunities.

Talk about a good week! Aside from winning my GBP/USD trade, my HLHB Trend Catcher system also did pretty well (again). Ah, I can tell that I’m gonna enjoy my weekend.

Good morning fellow forex fanatics! And what a fanatical day it’s been in for forex over the past 24 hours. I tried getting into that super risk off move after the FOMC announcement, but it looks like that train wasn’t waiting for no one. Check it!

Success! After hitting my first profit target early in the London trading session yesterday, I decided to finally close my entire position for a huge 325-pip profit! Who’s the… uhh, woman?!?

Good afternoon! This market is full of surprises lately, and today was no different as rumors of another Swiss National Bank intervention kicked off some nice volatility. All is quiet now, so I decided to close my trade for a small profit. Check it!

The 60-minute chart has corrected the intraday downtrend and triggered a swing short. This is an overall trend following trade because the daily time frame is heading lower with a bearish Directional Bias.

Remember that possible parity play I was looking at last week? Well, it turns out I was watching the wrong pair. I planned to buy AUD/USD at 1.0000 when I should’ve been looking at USD/CAD instead!

GBP/JPY may be nicknamed after a small fish, but if you had been paying attention to it last week, you would’ve been able to land a big catch! I’m talking about a reward-to-risk ratio of 3:1, son!
