Forex scalping London -New York

Hello,

Today is an especially difficult day since we have FOMC.

Statistically these days are ranging and difficult to predict direction since everyone is waiting the FOMC to take direction.

We are starting early in the morning 30 minutes after Frankfurt open and we continue to scalp until London noon and then again in the New York open to see how we handle a difficult day.

forex scalping on Friday 31 7 2015

Today was a loosing day

One of the profitable trades I made in the video

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hin88YY9ECs

The journal follows and in the end I am explaining the mistakes I made in order not to repeat them

possible long signal forming in gbpusd

[7/31/2015 09:56:35] Basil-kodikos says: 1,5589 entered

[7/31/2015 09:56:48] Basil-kodikos says: sl 1,5569

[7/31/2015 10:01:22] Basil-kodikos says: opposite signal formed are we entering ranging environment?

[7/31/2015 10:05:19] Basil-kodikos says:

82091439922080081105[1]

[7/31/2015 10:06:26] Basil-kodikos says: we will take all profit between 1,5590 -1,5600 in order to reverse in the resistance formed in aux chart

[7/31/2015 10:17:46] Basil-kodikos says: first trade hit stop loss

[7/31/2015 10:24:31] Basil-kodikos says: I had a short window to close in breakeven and reverse and didnt do it, thought it will touch 1.5600 but the bearish momentum was very strong in the London open

[7/31/2015 10:24:55] Basil-kodikos says: looking to take a long entry in eurjpy

[7/31/2015 10:25:13] Basil-kodikos says: 135,85 area

[7/31/2015 10:45:33] Basil-kodikos says: opposite signal formed in eurjpy looking to get out in breakeven

[7/31/2015 11:03:31] Basil-kodikos says: closed at be

[7/31/2015 11:08:53] Basil-kodikos says: waiting for resistance to form in order to justify a short now in ej

[7/31/2015 11:19:56] Basil-kodikos says: resistance formed in 90 in aux chart

forex scalping

[7/31/2015 11:23:24] Basil-kodikos says: I have very small stop loss in this if it goes above 90 4 pips i must get out cause i have doubled the quantity and because it will give long signal we are exactly in equilibrium medium line in the upper bollinger band

[7/31/2015 11:26:11] Basil-kodikos says: 1 2 3rejection or stop loss quickly it is the third time it hits 90

[7/31/2015 12:33:53] Basil-kodikos says: stop loss hit in eurjpy entered new trade in gbpusd retracement in 1,5570

[7/31/2015 13:12:58] Basil-kodikos says: trailing stop in gbpusd hit entered long in gbpjpy ,eurjpy flies up north

[7/31/2015 13:13:10] Basil-kodikos says: 193,40

[7/31/2015 13:24:35] Basil-kodikos says: the divergence in gbpjpy helps +10,5

[7/31/2015 13:26:06] Basil-kodikos says: I am leaving this to run a bit gbpjpy was consolidating since 11,00-2,5 hours so according to this volatile pair 20 pips must come relatively easy

[7/31/2015 13:26:39] Basil-kodikos says: taking some of the morning losses back

[7/31/2015 13:29:05] Basil-kodikos says:

forex scalping

[7/31/2015 15:25:19] Basil-kodikos says: gbpjpy is consolidating I have secured the trade and I leave it through 15.30 news

[7/31/2015 15:30:29] Basil-kodikos says: stop loss hit

The three mistakes a made

1.In the first GBPUSD trade an opposite signal was made and instead of closing in the breakeven and reversing because of greed I was hopping to hit the 1,56-- to earn 5-10 pips and lost the great short ,taking the loss of 20 pips

2, In the eurjpy I had a position in the equilibrium and while I said in chat room that my stop loss was 3 pips I have left the trade to hit 20 pips stop loss and lost the great eurjpy move of 100 plus pips.

3, In the third trade of gbpjpy I had breakeven all losses and I was 150$ in profit and left it through American news with result to loose all profits.

Totally irresponsible behavior by me in the end of the month.

Have a good month all of you and good profits.

DB outlines 4 reasons behind this view.1) Labour data. DB expects Australia's Thursday’s labor market data to beat the market consensus, with job growth of 15k in July leaving the unemployment rate unchanged at 6.0%.2) Rates re-pricing. While the RBA sounded less dovish at this week meeting, DB thinks market will start to re-price a 50bps of RBNZ easing at the next two meetings.3) Commodity prices. Although iron ore remains under pressure, DB argues that it remains a two-way market.4) Positioning. DB notes that while kiwi net shorts have been cut by 30% since early July, net shorts in AUD have increased by 130%, allowing for a meaningful squeeze.

Good morning everyone,GBPJPY was ranging in a very tide tube with 10 pips width.In session openings these consolidations deliver nice scalping opportunities

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2vBZ6aZpd4o&feature=youtu.be

goodmorning everyone check out this from Deutsche bankStay Long Pound Into Super Thursday - Deutsche Bank05 Aug 2015 17:12 EDTIn a note to clients, Deutsche Bank advsies clients to stay long pounds going into Thursday’s same-day release of the Bank of England policy decision, minutes and Inflation Report."Speculation is growing over a split vote on the policy decision. After the July minutes highlighted that ‘for a number of members...absent [Greece], the decision…was becoming more finely balanced,’ it is possible that more than the two previous hawks (Weale and McCafferty) dissent, with Forbes and Miles possible candidates," DB projects."Dissenters or not, risks are asymmetric as market pricing is still too dovish. Less than a 20% probability of a hike is priced for year-end (versus over 80% for the Fed) and the first hike is not fully discounted until May next year. Yet growth in the UK has been stronger than over the Atlantic and the economy is actually generating wage pressures, unlike the US," DB adds.

forex scalping in the European morningToday we are in holidays so we took a* quick scalp in gbpusd in the* European morning.A short signal formed in our main chart so we were waiting a step back by 20 pips approximately.In the auxiliary chart a fake north breakout happened and then the price moved south. We wait for a short term support and then in a step back motion the price moved to the equilibrium line offering us a chance to enter with a limit order for short scalp by ten pips at least.The order ignited and shortly afterwards the ten pips achieved.It was so quick that the breakeven move of our third part order didn't happened.We did move our stop manually and the third part closed shortly afterwards by offering + pips.You can watch the whole move and the trade in the following video.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LZFBmUTWaQg
