We broke a nice little range we were in during the Moscow/Pre-London session on quite a few pairs, including the EUR/USD. While there were many more impactful opportunities about (Pound was Weeeeeak, and yens were a thing of beauty), in this video I focus on how we built a trade plan coming ‘into’ London open after the move had already produced nice pips. Using drawn trend lines we recognize a flag pattern develop on the 15m chart, along with key ema & Fibonacci levels. This overlap provided a decent risk vs. reward entry setup with a max target of around 90 pips for 30 or so pip risk. We determined target by finding an overlap of the daily m1 and weekly m1 pivot points, along with a fib extension as shown. Ultimately this trade only made it a little over half way to the target before coming all the way back to the entry zone (and another trade plan). Using proper trade management however most walked away with 20-40 pips from this move, all while allowing room for it to finish the move. Hey, not everything always goes as planned, but once you have break even locked in, and subsequently MAP (Minimal Acceptable Performance of 15 pips) then it’s time to let it run. Up to the market at that point.

Technical trading often rules on a post-NFP Monday with no major news, and today was no exception. Some technical clues during the first hour of today’s New York session suggested that the US dollar weakness, which had been prevalent since the London open, was coming to an end. Two short trade setups on the EUR/USD both based on a break of support, followed by an entry on the pullback netted a ulative 100 pips prior to the London close.

The EUR/JPY currency pair had been mostly range-bound during the trading hours which preceded the open of today’s New York session. As New York equity markets opened, the Euro Yen made a breakout move, which was confirmed by breaches of key levels in multiple futures markets. Traders who took the re-test of support, then exited at an overlap of the daily M1 pivot point and a double bottom, realized a profit of 170 pips.

GBP/USD was in a very definable price trap during today’s pre-London market. We had a series of Higher lows without any higher high’s. We were approaching an inevitable apex of the small 15m triangle right as the London market was opening. A breakout or break/trap plan was a very acceptable plan to at least the 4 hr 21ema, with a possible overall target with overlapping pivots etc. around 179.15. After the breakout this video walks you through how we step by step ‘loaded the boat’ at each Fibonacci pullback for a nice 70-100 pip trade (not including the reloads compounding effect). This was a very technical trade that could still reach it’s ultimate goal today if Britain does not cut rates today. Another day another set of pips! Have a great weekend folks.

After the tremendous recent leg of the USD strength Friday, and the decent GAP trading on the Sunday open, we were cautious entering London. Most major pairs had trended strongly and all hit the next substantial support/resistance areas. A pullback looked more likely than anything, so we zoomed in on the majors to get a real fix on the USD. In this video I show you how we walked the room through a conservative, low risk, high reward entry on a EUR/USD long that gained 60-100 pips depending on entry & profit taking, using a not a lot more than a higher high. This was also the case with AUD/USD (in the video) GBP/USD and basically any USD pairing. The trend may not necessarily be over, but profit taking pullbacks were fairly easy to spot during today’s London. Several hundred pip day, love starting the week this way.
