Hi guys

Why calendar important.Market makers do react and build up to it so you better know it to be in sink. Half the battle is knowing your enemy moves.
Example we got NZD employment figures tonight.Both numbers projected to be positive hence NZD was is getting popped up then after release dumping profit taking so you got to know this in order to be ahead of your game.Trading is pretty much a chess game albeit easier then chess.
Anyway I sound like broken record....

Am spending most of this week not trading but reading the thread, A few weeksoff for learning and preparing before back to live account

Thankx for that explaination as it makes great sense to me

This may sound a bit weird to some but i am writing down some basic rules for trading this which i can refer to, to remind me each day for now until it becomes second nature

Davit i know you said avoid the other GBP pairs other than GC, is this even so with strong news projections and also news outcomes?

GBP is strong now until rate decision then either it will drop down or shoot high depending on Monetary policy statement.Its best not to be in front of bulls now.
I advise focusing on NZD tonight
Dont know if I answered your question but was not sure about what you were asking.There is weakness on CAD in general due to crude falling from 74 to 70
However NC short is not out of play.Best stay away from GC now.

The fundamental side of things has just started to click for me, i have never even thought about this before but from your previous post i can see you can kind of set a little road map for the coming week(until the news comes), combined with where the bigger picture where price is and then how price reacts around these levels i am starting to really get it

like you said as of start of the week for fundamentals based on projections for the week as of looking at the coming week from the weekend:

AUD = Bullish side
NZD = bullish side
USD = bullish side
GBP = neutral
CAD = mixed bag/negative side

Obviously yesterdays USD ISM pmi put a litle spanner in the works for the dollar which makes people have hesitation for it and slightly weaker even though still bullish above 50, but still strong against CAD in the short term

Thats just the stats not including other info and speaches

But yes from monday

AC,NC looking to buy and GA, GN and GU looking to sell at the right moment, with UC a good buy from the off

As you know I am an artist hence before doing anything on canvas most artists almost all do rough sketch outlining the composition general shape.
Then slowly working more definition and shaping and final stage is closest details.
This is organic way and my approach to markets is same bigger picture fundamentals ,calendar then Pivots then price action.
Most traders who fail start from cat's tail thinking its the whole cat when in reality they are missing 95% of it.You can't really profitably trade for living if you are clueless and only looking at 15min -1min charts.Most traders who are successful in scalping know the general view.That's important.
Cheers you are doing good.

Weekly fib pivots are gold

Full unloading will happen after NFP anticipate GBP getting full hummer after rate statement

We are witnessing typical market structure in play.Pomp up then dump usually goes further then you think that's because MM aiming for liquidity clusters.
If your stop is 20-30pips good luck because it will get hit even if you are in correct side.20-30 stops are brokers dream keep on collecting

You should not miss good opportunities.You can trade if not sure trade smaller lots. There is lot of repetition on the thread once you grasp the essence you dont need to read thousands of posts.

True that, i just want to be sure about the realtime news stuff tbh once i got that i will be happy

See i was waiting for crude results for a strong CAD, but was not great which would have put me off, even though in my mind i felt it was a great setup

I like the look of AN see how it acts around the S100

I will enter this one , I like the way you can scroll through the charts with a clear idea of what your looking for with this strategy in a relaxed manner, Love it

Would be nice if it reaches S100 before daily close so i do not have the agony of an hours massive spread, wouldnt be suprised if it went down to S138
