FOREX VIDEO REVIEW: London Session March 30, 2009

May 31st, 2010 by admin | No Comments | Filed in forex technical analysis


Asia into pre-London today continued the sell off on the Japanese Yen pairings from Friday’s fantastic drop off the daily resistance. The end result is we found ourselves at definitive support in pretty much every flavor on the Yen pair longer term charts, such as new weekly pivots, and long term trend lines. Opening a major market such as London “ON” support will generally lead to a rise before ever having a chance to fall again (due mainly to profit taking), such as a longer term Fibonacci pullback etc. Well since our London session is only a few hours long you have two choices. Either wait for the eventual longer term pullback entry, which could take until New York or never come, or conservatively set up high reward/low risk counter trend trade plan’s hoping to take advantage of the mass profit taking going on. While we covered multiple pairs in the session, in this video I focus on just one of these pair’s, the GBP/JPY. Using thing’s like, price trap’s, higher low’s, and Fibonacci on shorter term time frames we were able to plot a nice profit potential trade with a very low risk entry that ended up working out very nicely for around 125 pips if entered properly. Also this is after first being stopped out break even from an earlier attempt. Trading is hard enough as is, counter trend however requires an even more disciplined approach. Once we hit our target, early in the New York session a high quality re short into the direction of the original trend on the 4 hour did

FOREX VIDEO | New York Session Review | May 26, 2010

Eurozone-centric rumors were running rampant today on the news wires. From China getting cold feet about euro bond purchases, to SNB diversification out of euros, to problems at Spanish banks, virtually nothing the media dished out today seemed positive for Europe’s common currency. The EUR/USD currency pair fell nearly one penny after the US equity market open.

FOREX VIDEO REVIEW: London Session May 21, 2009

May 30th, 2010 by admin | 3 Comments | Filed in forex technical analysis


After yesterday’s break on the GBP/USD of the Daily chart channel top, and subsequent hit of the Daily 200 ema, we were poised for possible short trade setups after a 15m lower high developed. We were anticipating a retest of the Daily 5ema zone, channel top retest, as well as the 4hr 21ema, and 38.2 Fibonacci pullback, before any possible larger rise. As technical as we were set up to be, we were slapped with some surprise Fundamental news, when S&P downgraded GBP, citing debt was nearing 100% GDP. This news sparked an immediate weakness in the British Pound Sterling across the board, on any pairing. While there were some ways to wiggle into this short, it truly covered 200+ pips in 5 minutes, it was very quick. This Fundy news took us too our overall short target much faster than ever anticipated, but yet we found ourselves at substantial support on the GBP/USD pretty much right away. In this video I show how we determined a take profit scenario on the short, and subsequent long opportunity to take advantage of the cashing out going on. This long produced anywhere from 75-135 pips depending on profit taking strategies. This was such an overlap of support that once we saw higher lows develop on the 1m chart it was pretty much all that was needed to take the chance, with a 30-40′ish pip risk for 75-150 pip possibility, nice risk vs. reward. Nevertheless I show how we entered this using a simple Fibonacci study along with actual price action in those zones. Additionally in

FOREX London Session Video July 25th, 2007

The FX market was quite active ever since the previous London/NY closing, with so many trade setups it was difficult to keep up with them all. In this video we focus on just one of the many setups we displayed during our FX Bootcamp classroom. The GBP/CHF had started a nice uptrend during the Tokyo session and offered several re-entry opportunities, the last of which was during our London session, then extending another 100 pips afterwards for a very rewarding day. Weekly pivot points proved vital for our targeting.

FOREX VIDEO | NEW YORK SESSION REVIEW | April 21, 2009

May 28th, 2010 by admin | 3 Comments | Filed in forex technical analysis


In contrast to range-bound conditions seen in today’s previous sessions, a breakout move by the British pound at the New York open, a surprise rate cut by the Bank of Canada, and a rally in US stock indexes at the New York equity market open brought the foreign exchange market to life. Conservative trade entry strategies, plus the patience to let the moves unfold, yielded a plethora of pips during the New York session. The final tally: 130 pips on GBP/USD, 140 on EUR/JPY, 200 on GBP/JPY, and 50 on a USD/CAD news trade.
