Do a 15 minute chart of EUR/USD and you will see this exact pattern that I suggested at the time. There is a fundamental reason for this patten even though it would be called pyschological.

After 6:00 AM the pattern changes again.

Imagine seeing this pattern repeat on a regular basis. This gives you an edge.
Can you elaborate this a bit more ?

There are two groups of traders in forex for this example. The retail trade which includes most of Forex Factory and similar sites. Then there are the traders that work for large institutions.

The patten that I speak about is caused by most of the retail traders and unfortunately for them most of the people that lose trading forex.

Let us look at last night being Sunday and since the pyschology was still there from the move on Friday that 1.4325 to 1.4500 in just three hours meant that EUR/USD might go over 1.4550 and it still might however I am only talking of last night and the pattern from 2:00 AM to 3:00 AM.

I explained how data last night plus the view that once EUR/USD hit it's High and it still is the High of 1.45508 that we could see higher.

The reason that this pattern repeats most of the time is that the pyschology of the traders repeats. The same patten is there from 6:00 EST to about 10:00 AM

Of course there is fundamental news that comes out and changes patterns however the pyscholgy repeats.

I will show you what to look for now until 10:00 AM so you can follow it as well live.

The bottom line is that the charts are showing patterns and these patterns cause certain traders to think they repeat in a shorter time frame.

We had many important factors overnight. They will filter in once New York opens at 9:30 AM when the Stock markets cause the real money flow. The stock markets opening at 3:00 AM do the same for the 3:00 AM to 6:00 AM pattern.

If it is still not clear ask a follow up question however the best way to learn is watch for yourself the pattern that I suggest you can see most overnight and morning periods.

If the Dow futures stat positive and Europe moves with it then odds are EUR/USD will move up unless the Dow futures turn down because of new negative data. The position of USD/JPY also might have an effect if it tests 76.00 and we see INTERVENTION however they first need to confirm their new PM. Then there is the mess in Europe now far from over and evolving by the second.

PERCEPTIONS are the reality until REALITY changes perceptions.

I just read this analysis from BFK Forex Advisor and it makes the point that I was trying to make about PERCEPTIONS and REALITIES.

The trade desks have more tools and information to understand realities so when they arrive for work they can change directions quickly by the new order flow.

Here is the analysis.

Trade The Story Not The News



This week the German IFO survey printed worse than forecast indicating that economic activity in EZ largest and most important economy was slowing markedly. The EUR/USD however did not tumble in the wake of the report, but instead made a fierce turnaround and proceeded to rally for about 100 points into North American trade.

I've often made the point that when you have a conflict between news and price it is always better to go with the price signal. If data is negative but the currency rallies it is better to be long and vice versa if data is positive but the currency falls its better to be short. Many of you have written me notes of thanks for that setup after you put it into practice in your own accounts.

The news/price divergence is a neat setup but I am afraid that it may teach the wrong lesson. I've heard thousands of traders tell me, "News doesn't matter!" In the narrowest sense of the word that's absolutely true. News does not matter. What matters is the story. Contrary to the popular perception of many traders, the market does not move because a moving average on some random chart was broken to the upside or the downside. The market doesn't care about Fibonacci retracements, pivot points, head and shoulder patterns and all the other artificial tools that we superimpose on charts.

The market only cares about the story of the moment. Understand the story and you understand the trade. But that's much harder to do than it appears. The German IFO report for example showed that the data was weak, but market rumors before the event anticipated an even worse reading, so that when it printed the news was actually a relief and prices turned up as the story actually became positive while the news itself was negative.

Trying to figure out the story is what I do every day when I post on Twitter. Sometimes the story is obvious as it was with USD./CHF on Friday after Bernanke did not propose any new easing and the pair verticalized by 200 points. Sometime the story only become obvious in retrospect. In either case you cannot take it personally and you certainly cannot become attached to a point of view. When you are trading currencies on an intraday basis you job is to figure out the opinion of the market, because that's the only opinion that matters. That's why you need to trade the story not the news.
