Trade Ideas

Sometimes the markets leave you no choice but to go with the flow and look for breakouts! If we were gutsy enough to play the yen pairs, we could have caught the bumpy but profitable move down on Guppy!

Last week, I ranted on how the HLHB Trend-Catcher was a terrible system as doesn’t seem to filter out whipsaws. Then, out of nowhere, it gave me two amazing trades this week! Nevertheless, I believe the system can still be greatly improved, and I’ll stick with my decision to change completely or tweak it in 2012.

Good afternoon! It looks like my trade idea for this week is a “no-go” as European fears and weak BOE rhetoric continued to push capital into the Greenback without a hiccup. Check out how it all played out in Cable this week.

After losing 1% on my last trade, there’s nothing else I want more than to win. Hopefully my trade idea on EUR/USD works out as I hope it would. *fingers crossed*

AUD/USD strikes back! Just when I thought my AUD/USD curse was lifted and I’d be able to score another hundred or so pips with the pair, I got stopped out. Not only did it break my heart, but it broke several resistance levels as well!

As it turns out, AUD/USD made the biggest move for the third week in a row! But the best part of it is that I managed to catch part of that move. Yay me!

What a crazy week for the euro! It was selling like hotcakes at the start of the week, but then it bounced back and rallied right before the weekend. Crazy moves make for crazy pips yo!

Ugh, these past few days have been very terrible for my trading as both the HLHB Trend-Catcher and my discretionary system suffered losses. See how it all went down in my weekly update!

So much for that trade idea! Just a couple of hours after I entered my position, AUD/CAD spiked down and hit my stop loss! Drats!

Good afternoon forex friends! I left my open orders to short Cable on past Wednesday’s trading session as I thought the setup was still valid, but maybe a little early. Today, Cable pulled back as hoped, but it looks like Dollar bulls are way too strong…

Today I am sharing with you a short, three video series that explains, step-by-step, a recent trade in the USD/CHF. It’s less about the trade itself and more about how I identified the opportunity and the environment it was setting up within.

“Curl your hair, while the iron is hot.” That’s one of my philosophies in life. I missed out on a couple of good moves yesterday but today will be different. I see a very promising setup on GBP/USD and there’s no way I’m missing out on the opportunity to make pips. Ladies, gentlemen, and monster, I present to you one of my most aggressive trades so far…

OH… MY… GOD. AUD/USD must be showing me who’s really boss because it decided to drop all the way down to my original target near 1.0200 just after I closed my position. But hey, I’m not complaining about my 100-pip win!

After going through the charts, it seems that our trade idea on GBP/JPY was the best setup to take last week! Thank God we caught that trade!

How’s it going, everyone? In case you’re still feeling dizzy from all those crazy happenings in the markets last week, let my comdoll weekly replay clear things up!

When EUR/USD trends, my HLHB Trend-Catcher celebrates! Remember the second position on my update last week? Well, a new crossover appeared and it closed with a 123-pip gain.

Guess who’s gonna be celebrating tonight! 124.00 held a like a boss and my profit target was hit right before the start of the New York session! Boo yeah!

Good afternoon! It looks like the price action played out pretty much as I had hoped as the pair did have a chance to retest my area of potential resistance. Check it my trade review for more.

I know Halloween is already over, but I hope I get a treat from the market with this sexy setup I spotted on Cable!

No thanks to the European leaders’ announcement last week, USD/CAD broke the technical levels that I was watching and hit my stop loss before I can say “Kim Kardashian’s marriage.” Here’s what happened to my USD/CAD trade.
