It’s that time of the month again – US Non-farm Payroll report!!!! Oh yeah! Once a month we get to see this beast of a market mover, and hopefully we get to catch some pips. This month’s consensus for the June report has seen a wide range from 50K to 300K jobs added, and traders …

Numbers out of the UK came out as expected and we saw little movement in the market compared to the normal volatility that we usually see. This is also due to the fact that US non-farm payroll report is coming out tomorrow; so many traders are on the sidelines waiting for that report. No trade …

Tonight’s pick is on GBP/USD. As you can see from the chart we saw extreme dollar weakness after the dovish comments from the Fed, but failure to break the 1.8500 level. So, now we see a move to the short side, but will it continue?? Where to from here? Well, we have the Industrial and …

Early in the morning, before the US markets started trading we saw a spike in the pair. It triggered the short entry order at 1.1150. Unfortunately, the 30 pips stop wasn’t enough to weather the whipsaw. Actually it wasn’t enough by 3 pips!!! Doh!!! After the stop out, the pair dropped back down to hit …

USD/CAD has been ranging between 1.1300 and 1.100, and it looks like it’s in a downward trend at the moment. After today’s US interest rate hike the pair made a strong move downward and I believe we may see a continuation of that move during the euro session. I’m thinking one of two scenarios may …

The Fed raised rates from 5.00% to 5.25%, and as expected with a 25 bps raised the dollar fell. Within the hour GBP/USD gained almost 200 pips, but to be honest I stayed out of the trade due to the fact that the pair drifted farther and farther away from our long entry point at …

We had a profitable trade today as EUR/JPY bounced back up as soon as it hit our entry point at 145.70. In just a couple of hours we saw it hit pt1 for +20 pips, while we had to wait until 5 pm EST to close lot 2 for +52 pips. Congrats to those went …

Please read entire post! Tomorrow is a big day as traders have been anticipating the FOMC rate decision for what seems like forever now. We’ve seen much debate in the media (from economists, market pundits, traders, etc.) and quite frankly, it’s still up in the air on what will happen tomorrow. Market consensus is calling …

Without any significant economic reports tomorrow, I had to look for a purely technical play. Because of the lack of reports, I expect low volatility and range trading, but I think I’ve found a nice play in EUR/JPY. We’ve been watching the euro rising again and I think with a correction we can jump into …

For those of you who have been watching NZD/USD, you’ve seen a considerable drop in this pair, and now that it’s broken the previous daily low of 0.6141 we should see a further decline. Today’s new home sales report was a surprise of 1.23 million new homes, in which the market was expecting a decline. …

At the open of the euro session on Friday, US dollar buying continued, and the pair never made its way down to our sell entry point. No trade entered. Hope everyone is having is a great weekend!

At the open of the Euro trading session we saw the US dollar rally against all the majors as traders look for a safe haven from the North Korea missile situation. So, the question now is, “is this rally done?” Well, we have the US Durable Goods report coming out tomorrow morning at 8:30 am …

Well, the market was forecasting weak retail numbers out of Canada, and of course, the Canadians showed the market how wrong it was! We had a trade prepared for great numbers, and it looks like we capitalized by gaining +80 pips! Lot 1: +15 pips Lot 2: +65 pips Total: +80 pips

I’ve been reading news reports and looking at charts all day and to be honest, there really isn’t a trade jumping out at me. It’s been a range bound week for many pairs with the lack of significant economic reports and I think tomorrow is probably going to be the slowest day of the week. …
