A weekly chart is uploaded for your consideration. Will upload a daily chart as well

On the weekly chart the trend is clearly up but we are developing topping structures - dojis. Secondly we have bearish divergence ie price is going up but the MACD is going down. Not confirming the upmove. Please note this is the weekly chart and therefore it will not turn on a dime.

Delving deeper (daily chart) the weekly dojis are now broken down into consolidation patterns and ranging patterns. However we are nearing the formation of a 123top which if confirmed targets the 1.3050 area - 500 pips away from where we are now

Sorry about the lines on the daily chart above. I try to keep things simple
What I was trying to do was the following

I drew a horizontal line where I thought point 2 on the 123 is

Then drew a vertical line from the highs to the line

Then I drew a duplicate line to the vertical line and dragged it to below the horizontal line to measure the target price if a break below the horizontal line was to happen

Thetre is another curved red line and that is the standard 100sma line

Hope this clarifies the chart...

I'm new to this blog and i find this discussion very interesting.
Until recently I was trading forex with forex.com and options with another broker.
Recently, I stumbled across Pair options You can check it out at the following link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pair_options
All you have to do to earn money is choose 1 stock in a stock pair, and you can earn over 500% return in a market neutral environmental.

Does someone here know where I can trade Pair Options?

This commodity can test the patience of an angel. Its all good if we dont break out of the triangle to the upside.

Stoch is pointing down
us$ is stronger...

@3675

General euro weakness today. I believe 1.4000 is a tradable top and that we are going way down from here (actually late to the party...).

Weekly chart with my favorite MAs have not give a sell signal but when/if they do it would be time to add more to the position
Trade closed for -15 pips

Hi All

I ended up under water this month. Funny we had a lot to tradable opportinuties in march but we had a lot of votatility as well. I usually use 100 pips for my stop but the market's volatility ranged more than 100 pips sometimes before going the way I predicted. The intervention did not help at all either. The other thing I noted was that my attempts to enter trades by limit left me missing trades and left me almost chasing trades.

Going into April now. I intend to continue trading my system. It has put me in good stead in Jan and Feb. I also intend to add an element of longer term trading to my trading. And letting profits run. Because of the increased volatility I tend to cut trades that are not going well too early even though my trading plan said hold. Also it got into my head not to look a gift horse in the mouth and take profits too early. Its all about trader psychology

I will be doing a piece on Position Trading as a friend has set me on a better path. I am currently demoing a few techniques which if ok would become part of my repotoire.

So traders and friends wish you a much better April than my march

Hi Olu,
I am still heading south with EURAUD. Will decide in a couple of hours if I join you in turning north again.

This is my first time with pair options trading, so i deposited with Stockpair & opened opened a small trade.

On Friday I opened a $100 position of Coca Cola/Pepsico Pair Option , expiry time of end of the day. I chose Coca Cola to be the better performing stock, so I received $82 profit on my $100 investment.

Once I get more comfortable I will trade higher amounts.

Thanks Olu for letting me know about this Pair Options trading platform

This pair has been consolidating for weeks with only small marginal moves on the D1. It has become a stop hunters dream pair. Not enough movement on the daily to warrant the risk. Eur/cad might be a better choice for the risk. It is prime for a break out, probably to the upside maybe 1.39720 level. A short could take the pair to 1.33284. Just my opinion. Right now there are 6-7 pairs in consolidation ready for breakouts as the market takes in the affects of the world conditions and has a breather. We should be able to make some real nice trades if we have the patience it takes to wait it out.

Thanks for your contribution. I am in the euraud looking for price to trade to 3850 area.I believe we are in a small wave 4 advance which could go to the 3900 area. I believe that thereafter we need to load the boat down to the 3300 area. A friend of mine that looks in on this thread will say the same thing you have said i.e wait for the big wave down.

eurgbp is in the same boat here. Looking to sell for a big wave down from 8900 area

Thanks again

BBO,

If you had just one bullet left;

1. What would you trade.

2. How would you determine how much to trade.

3. How would determine your risk.

4. How would you determine when to close position.
