Trade Ideas

…here we are again, another pullback within the context of what is still an uptrend. This time however I am going to be a little more cautious about my upside expectations. I still expect there to be support within the 34EMA Wave however I am concerned about the ability for the greenback to press to higher highs

Good afternoon! As I expected, we did see a good amount of volatility after a very slow Monday trading session. But it wasn’t only UK data that moved the markets, China and Spanish bond sales played a nice role too. Check it!

Good morning! Wanna see what’s the most high-yielding setup I spotted last week? I’ll give you a clue – it’s a 5:1 reward-to-risk setup!

Our trio of crosses were very active and showed interest in the areas that we pointed out in last week’s Weekly Watch. Let’s see if this week’s levels get reactions from the markets!

It’s Friday the 13th, and while the Eurozone’s luck may have run out with S&P today, it was all good for my short trade EUR/USD. Check out how it all went down!

Looks like NZD/USD didn’t quite reach my entry level. Instead of forcing a trade, I decided to close my open orders. It doesn’t end there though. I still have plans for this setup I spotted…

Looks like I picked a bad time to short the euro! Yesterday’s euro rally caused EUR/GBP to break its falling trend line and stop me out. It’s a good thing I cut back my risk!

Ugh, talk about a mixed week! My HLHB Trend-Catcher ended up on the positive side with some huge wins, but my discretionary trading took another hit!

Hello my lovely readers! I know my first trade idea was a big failure, but I hope to make it up with these awesome (I think) trade ideas on GBP/USD.

Good evening! Thanks to Fitch and weak German data, it was big moves for EUR/USD today, but unfortunately my entry orders were missed by like two pips! Check it out…

Whew! I managed to avoid a heartbreak by keeping close tabs on risk sentiment and deciding to stay on the sidelines instead. Read on to find out why I decided to forego this USD/CAD setup!

Aaaand the Best Setup of the Week award goes to… USD/CAD! Read the rest of my entry to find out how I could’ve bagged a 6-to-1 win with this pair’s rally.

What a week for the euro, eh? Not only did it sink against the dollar, but it weakened against the rest of the majors as well! Could we see a repeat performance this week?

So much for starting the year right! I just incurred my first loss for 2012 with my GBP/USD trade. Boo!

Awww yeah! I’m lovin’ 2012 already! I managed to bag a total of 280 pips on my first trade of the year! Check it out!

If you remember, one the things I promised to do going into the 2012 was to scrap (or at least tweak) the HLHB Trend Catcher. I noted that the Trend Catcher, while it had some nice trades, wasn’t at all filtering the fakeouts.

It’s just a correction folks, keep walking, nothing to see here. The uptrend is still intact. But for your doubters, let’s take a closer look.

Happy New Year to one and all! I hope you were able to get plenty of rest over the holidays because this week, we’re diving right back into the markets!

Good morning forex friends! With 2011 quickly winding down and trading pretty much a wrap for the year, it’s time to do the most beloved (or hated) of trading tasks: reflecting on your trading performance. I’ll share with you an example of how I reflect in hopes that it will help you do your own. Check it!

To say that trading was wild on cross-currency pairs this year would be an understatement. Despite the choppiness in the markets, I don’t think I fared too badly at all. Here’s a recap of my trading for 2011.
