forex scalping in the European morning

Today we are in holidays so we took aÂ* quick scalp in gbpusd in theÂ* 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.mql5.com/go?link=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LZFBmUTWaQg

forex scalping 14 8 2015

Hello,Today I have record for you a one hour video of the most trending hour in the New York session.It contains two forex scalping trades in gbpjpy one long and one short.I haven't trade at all in the European session due to obligations and I sat i front of my computer approximately 30 minutes after DOW open.After screening gbpusd ,eurjpy and gbpjpy I have concluded that my best chances were in gbpjpy.GBPJPY formed a consolidation and I was waiting for a long breakout since I had a long signal.Breakout happened and waited for a retracement in the breakout point in order to go long.Price retraced and gave me an entry.After almost 25 minutes the first scalping target of ten pips achieved moved the stop loss to breakeven and I was waiting to see some momentum. Momentum never came , the price retreated and hit the stop loss for the third part.Having my eyes for another opportunity I have trapped eurjpy in case it would come back in the 55 area to take my limit order to go short but in vain.Then I spotted the divergence in gbpjpy and placed the limit order 2 pips below the support area.The limit order activated, gbpjpy made some attempts to go up again and then bam the short momentumÂ* came hit my scalping target ,trailing was activated and after a brief run to +26 pips returned and close this order too.In the mean while I have add some to the position and left the remaining in to breakeven.Enjoy the video.https://www.mql5.com/go?link=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ufqlTB2m5Io

 

forex scalping 18 8 2015 European session

Hello,Difficult day today.I have lost 2 scalps in the Frankfurt and London open so the third trade gave me the breakeven in eurjpy.Made a video for the third trade which took my losses back and some profit from my last runner part.Enjoyhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NUYbbJV1Vu4The battlefield of eurjpy Here is also a tip from SOGEN concerning audusdAUD/USD: Weekly Hammer; EUR/USD: Persistence Within Triangle - SocGenAUD/USD has formed a weekly hammer near 0.72 which represents 76.4% retracement of 2008-2011 up move, notes SocGen."It is at the upper limit of a descending channel since May and is facing immediate resistance at 0.7450. With daily RSI breaching above a resistance trend, a recovery is likely," SocGen adds."A break above 0.7450 will mean a retest of recent lows at 0.7560/90 which remains pivotal for an extended rebound," SocGen argues.Turning to EUR/USD, SocGen notes that it has retraced after testing 34 week MA at 1.12."EUR/USD is forming a triangle after retracing from 1.1450/1.1536. Weekly RSI is below 50% graphical level which highlights persistence within triangle," SocGen adds."Triangle upper limit at 1.1385/1.14 should provide strong resistance to a recovery while 1.0865/1.08 decides if retest of 1.05/1.04 happens," SocGen projects.

 

Hello,Market was very choppy in the morning and we remain idle.American news offered some volatility and a big whipsaw in usdjpy.We took aÂ* scalp after the news in calm waters in eurjpy which hold the key support.Currently 137.29 running into a few offers but demand into 137.00Offers 137.60 137.80 138.00 138.30 138.50 138.85 139.00Bids 137.20-25 137.00 136.80 136.50 136.00 https://www.mql5.com/go?link=https://youtu.be/9InTh6StIms the Three pairs we trade main charts todayEURJPYGBPUSDdaily chartThe GBPUSD rallied yesterday after previous day's brief rotation lower. We have been calling the GBPUSD long on pullbacks for a number of weeks now and we are still very bullish on this market. If you’re not already long, you can continue to look to be a buyer on any weakness whilst price is above that key support zone down between 1.5535 – 1.5465. We see the potential for price to break up and move higher in the coming weeks and re-test the highs up near 1.5920 area.GBPJPY

 

forex scalping the gbpusd 21 8 2015

Low range. Little changedWhile the EURUSD moved higher. The USDJPY and USDCHF tumbled lower with high to low trading ranges that well exceeded the averages over the last 22 trading days, the GBPUSD traded in a 65 pips trading range (the average is 104 pips, and is just 9 pips higher from the close.The bullish is the pair has been able to stay above the 100 hour MA (blue line in the chart above). The bearish slant is the lack of momentum when the rest of the market was selling dollars quite freely. Also, the highs today at 1.5722 took out the August 18 high of 1.5716 by only a few pips. Where are the buyers.Despite that lack of momentum, the sellers are not exactly lighting the world on fire. As a result, I will defer to the bulls as those in control. Traders will keep that wary eye on failures above - just like they did today - but until the seller are able to push below the 100 hour MA and 200 hour MA (green line in the chart above), the selling is just corrective.We managed to take a scalp in the American session but this didn't develop in intraday tradehttps://www.mql5.com/go?link=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zg6xOsu5uRU

forex scalping pound yen

The yen jumped on the market on Monday boosted by risk aversion and had the best day in years. GBP/JPY dropped dramatically and is about to end the session hovering around 187.50, down more than 2%.GBP/JPY far from lowsDespite having one of the worst days in months, the pair is about to end far from the lows. At certain point, GBP/JPY dropped dramatically and bottomed at 183.06, 3-month lows and 820 pips below Friday’s closing price. Afterwards rebounded rising 400 pips from the lows.The recovery from 183 found resistance around the 188.00 area. The pair could continue to recover if equities rebound during Tuesday’s Asian session. But the global selloff in stock markets on Monday pushed the pair below key support levels, weakening the outlook for the pound.GBP/JPY technical levelsTo the downside, support levels now could be located at 186.90, 186.10 and 184.95 (July 8 low). On the opposite direction, resistance might be seen at 188.10, 189.30 and 190.90.Forget the tech levels unless they are long term and strong. Let the price be the guideWe often preach about watching the price action and in markets like this it is the best guideIf you want to trade then let the price speak and let it build the picture for you. Anything else is guess work.We took a long scalp initially in Frankfurt open were we took the first ten pips and stopped out in the third part.In the American session we took a long scalp achieved the first tewn plus pips for the first two parts and then 70 plus pips for the third partThe battlefield today for the three pairs we follow and the signals they gave in LondonÂ* and New York opening in main charts.Unlucky for meÂ* I wasn't in the desk during the great moves.gbpusd,eurjpy and gbpjpyeurjpygbpjpy https://www.mql5.com/go?link=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MtNx2HbiByw

 

forex scalping conversion to intraday trade GBPJPY

Here is a respectable opinion aboutÂ* the yesterday huge volatilityenjoy:"'Yesterday we said about almost ignoring the tech for the price action but what do we do after the huge moves ?There are three main stages to theseÂ* types of huge moves we saw.What we do when they look like happening?What we do while they're happening?What we do after they happen?What do we do when they look like happening?It's advisable to pull ourselves out from the lower time frames and look at the higher ones. Forget the short term tech and look at the longer term stuff. They hold greater strengthÂ* and provide a lower risk way to trade outside of the intraday noiseLet's take USDJPY and the fibs I highlighted yesterdayUSDJPY daily chartAny of those first three fibs were trad able. Of course having the guts to do it when the proverbial is hitting the fan is the key. Also, I don't think there were many of us who thought we'd see such volatile moves anyway, so who's going to stick an order in 300-500 pips below the market just in case we get a move like that?Â* The main point is that if you have the tech levels drawn up there's no reason why you can't trade them. You've reduced the noise and could get yourself into a very healthy tradeWhat do we do while they are happening?This is the stage I highlighted yesterday with the Dow. Now we can come down to the lower time frames. Take a blank page and let the price action build the tech for you. Let it show you where the market is buying and selling and when you've built up a good enough picture you have your levels to trade. There's no need to be a hero but you have your lower risk entry points, your levels to lean against. Trading doesn't get much more live than watching a 5 or 10 minute chart and deciphering the price action where moves are much bigger than normalWhat do we do after?Can we get back to normal? That's what we need to look for. The normal intraday/short term tech may have been blown out of the water but now it's time to see how much of it reasserts itself1.1450 was level I was looking at in EURUSD yesterday just before it all kicked off. Today we tested it and bounced over 50 pips, then held it for a while before breaking. We've now seen yesterday's low support taken out and become resistanceSlowly the short term tech comes back into play. Plenty of caution is still needed but we can start to move back to trading normally as the dust settlesReacting to markets is all part of trading but once again, having some simple rules can make it the difference between feeling like you're in the middle of a tornado and being in control""A simple rule you can remember is that after great volatility ranging follows until the dust is settled.We lost a trade in London today but we have took our losses back and some profit in a scalpingÂ* conversion to intraday trade 30 minutes before DOW open.GBPJPY from London open to closeGBPUSD today with paying signalEURJPY moved parallel to gbpjpy and paid nice https://www.mql5.com/go?link=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QS8EuLw3niU

 

forex scalping consolidation and breakout

What are the steps in forex scalping that we must consider in order to trade consolidations and breakouts or plain breakouts from triangles?1)Identify the most suitable pairFind a pair that have built strong support or resistance levels and watch them. Remember, the stronger the support or resistance, the better the outcome. Make sure you understand this when you locate pairs to watch.This is what we did this morning with eurjpy.We had a short signal in our smoothed main chart but we waited the breakout to happen.https://www.mql5.com/go?link=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T_XHy9HcvHo2)Wait For the BreakoutFinding a good pair does not mean a trade should be taken prematurely. Wait patiently for the pair to make its move. Patience Is A Trader's Virtue.3) Set a Reasonable target priceIf you are going to take a trade, set an expectation of where it is going. If you don't, you won't know where to exit the trade. This can be done by calculating an average move that the pair makes or measuring the distance between support and resistance (especially when trading price patterns).4)Allow the pair to RetestThis is the most critical step. When a pair breaks a resistance level, old resistance becomes new support. When a pair breaks a support level, old support becomes new resistance. In the majority of your trades, the pair will test the level it has broken after the first minutes. Prepare for it.That's what we did in gbpjpy in the DOW open when it retested a break in a trendline in our high timeframe chart.https://www.mql5.com/go?link=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0TeYunPlxus5)Know When Your Trade/Pattern Has FailedWhen the pair attempts to retest a prior support or resistance level and it breaks back through it, this is where a pattern or breakout has failed.That is a fakey.Â* It is imperative you take the loss at this point. Don't gamble with your losses.6)Be PatientThis strategy requires plenty of patience. By following these steps, you will reduce emotion and be more objective about a trade.7)Exit at Your TargetIf you are not exiting the trade with a loss, then you are in the trade. You should remain in the trade until the pairÂ* price reaches its objective, or your trailing stop is hit orÂ* reach your time target without hitting your target price.ConclusionBreakout trading welcomes volatility. The volatility experienced after a breakout is likely to generate emotion because prices are moving quickly and in a volatile fashion. Using the steps covered today will help you define a trading plan that, when executed properly, can offer great returns and manageable risk.The three pairs we watch and their signals todayGBPUSDEURJPYGBPJPY
