Due to the holidays in America trading is likely to be thin with exaggerated moves. Care must be taken when trading. Remember standing aside is also a position - a keep your hard earned cash in your account position

How about this, for those with day jobs. Draw support resistance lines on the hourly or 4hr chart every week. Place orders with stop loss and profit targets and just let it run. I am currently doing this on demo, started a week ago and placed orders for this week as well.

Thanks for visiting and contributing to the thread. Can you provide an annotated chart of what you did last week. The idea is worth looking into ...

Sure here's a chart of EU. Although these lines are for this week, I am sure most of them were there last week as well. These are support resistance lines I drew on the hourly TF. I then just placed orders on the lines and let them go for the week. I am only doing this on EU and GU just so I can concentrate on just 2 pairs.

I have uploaded a chart of the eurchf

We appear to be reverting to thr true trend on this pair. Fundamentally this equated to investors still seeing risk concerning the euro.
we already have a candlestick reversal pattern and we wait for the closing of the candle and follow through...

As usual do your own research...

I have uploaded a daily candle chart of the dollar index. I have anotated it with my elliott wave interpretation and expectations. I expect the dollar index to rally in a 5 wave advance. This in turn means the euro, aud, cad gbp etc should tank badly.

If I am right, and be warned I have only a rudimentary understanding of elliott, we should not see 73.50 area on the dollar index. Also a close above 76 will confirm the wave three advance

As usual this is only what I am looking at you need to do your own research

This pair is testing support at the moment..

Price is below the 100sma
Stochastics is about to cross and turn
Lots of indecision candle pattern
Price trying to make a last ditch attempt not to free fall
Head and shoulder pattern (OK, a rough one at that) targetting 600 pips on a break

Patience is needed...

This pair is issuing a sell. This is a funny one because the weekly stoch is crossed up but the monthly one is furmly crossed down. Something has to give

Find uploaded the weekly chart of the usdjpy with the 5/10EMAs and the RSI(10) on it

My thinking is that this pair will test 85.xx over the coming weeks. And that it might not even take that long to do it. We had an intervention rally then an arduous and time-wasting retracement which respected the 80 level. Now we are going up and it appears it is with momentum. Just check out the hourly chart!

EMAs have crossed (dont forget this is a weekly chart)
RSI is now above the zero lone and heading up
Risk is defined at around the 80 area

It might be up up and away on this pair

As usual your own due dilligence is required and necessary

****NB Cant upload chart due to problems at FF. Will try again soon******

I will be staying away from the markets till way after the NFP release. This data will set the tone for the coming week as well.

I rarely comment on a monthly chart. I can safely say that I have never held a trade for a month. Would like to though as long as price is going my way and I already have a lot of pips on my belt

Price is in a superb uptrend but the last 3 candles have been testing the downside. We are resting on an uptrend line now (shown). A break of this downtrend line is bad for hte euro. The stoch has turned down from lofty highs too. However as it stands we have to wait and see what will happen and continue to hold on to the inference that the trend is up until the markets say otherwise. But the implications of a break is eventually 1.18xx area in a few months. Can you hold for that long?

Looking for a retracement and a bounce off the support line (shown)

I am longer term bearish this pair and would like to aquire a sell from higher up. There are many ways to skin a cat, they say. So we can:-

 

  1. Wait for the retracement and sell it
  2. buy now for a tradeable rise to the sell area and then sell
  3. place a sell stop under the support line

Whichever option is taken due dilligence is necessary.
