Not much action today huh?

Yeah I know... Banks were closed today in the US, so not much liquidity and most traders are waiting for tomorrow to open their trades (at least that’s what I’m doing).

One of the currency pairs I’ll be focusing tomorrow is the EURJPY:

http://www.straightforex.com/forex_b...2/eurjpy32.png

I’d like to see the EURJPY retracing back to the main ST support level around 104.66 and if I get upward pressure around this level I’ll be going long!

What do you think about the EURJPY? Did you trade today? Let me know.

Good trading!

CADJPY looking good for longs

Have you noticed most JPY crosses are trading in a clear bullish condition? Really, I’m looking for long opportunities on almost all of them.

Also, on most of them the short term S&R levels are very clear, take a look at the CADJPY for instance:

http://www.straightforex.com/forex_b...2/cadjpy11.png

I’d be looking for long opportunities around the bottom of the range.

What do you think?

Trade Safe!

NZDCAD broke the short term range

Hope you had a great weekend!

What do you think about the market this week? It isn't as clear as it was least week is it? Please share your thoughts!

One of the few currencies that I’m trading is the NZDCAD. Last week it traded in a short term range but earlier today it broke through the top of the range:

http://www.straightforex.com/forex_b...2/nzdcad11.png

As long as the NZDCAD trades above 0.8350 I’ll be looking for long opportunities.

Are you trading this one?

Have a great week ahead!

Another signal on the USDCHF

Hey, how is your trading going this week so far?

Last week I wrote about the USDCHF, I really felt comfortable shorting it, and

I did take a short (I’m still holding it) and let me tell you something, just got another signal to go short:

http://www.straightforex.com/forex_b...2/usdchf62.png
Now, there are two things worth mentioning:

 

  1. Possible intervention of the Switzerland National Bank. Actually, there are intervening on the EURCHF not on the USDCHF. Take a look at it, at the daily chart, it is obvious that something is going on there. Now take a look at the swissy, its clear and its moves are smooth.
  2. Is scaling in a good possibility here? I really think so, the best moment to scale in is when the market moves on your favor, it is telling you: Hey, you probably made the right decision here, why not adding more? On the other hand, I think the worst moment to scale in (average down) is when the market goes against you. You are increasing the size of a trade that is not behaving the way you though it would behave.


What do you think?

Are you trading the AUDUSD?

If you are, I hope you are tasking in consideration the short term range it is currently trading in. It’s not a bad idea to look for trade opportunities on the extremes of the range.

Long opportunites around the bottom of the range and short opportunities around the top of the range:

http://www.straightforex.com/forex_b...3/audusd57.png

And of course, be ready to trade if the market breaks either extreme of the
range.

¿What do you think?

Yes, the AUDUSD broke the bottom of the range

Hey, how is your trading going so far this week?

Yesterday I talked about the AUDUSD, it was trading in a short term range.

But guess what? Earlier this morning it broke through the bottom of the range:

http://www.straightforex.com/forex_b...3/audusd58.png

What does this mean?

That the market is likely to continue its way down until it reaches its next LT support level.

So as long as it trades below green level at 1.0625 I’ll be looking for short opportunities.

What is interesting about the AUDUSD is that the next LT support level is at 0.9706. Enough pips don't you think?

Trade safe!

Are you trading today? Or the rest of the week?

I have a trade open, and will definitely think it twice before opening a new one. Why?

Take a look at some of the announcements left for the rest of the week:

Wednesday:

NZD Interest rate
AUD Employment change

Thursday

GBP Interest rate
CAD interest rate

Friday:

USD Non-farm payrolls report
CAD Employment change

So be careful alright... you never know what could happen and how the market will react.

Have in mind what happened last week with Bernanke’s speech, it change the market sentiment in more than one currency pair.

Trade Safe!

I’ll look for short opportunities on the GBPUSD

Hope you all had a great weekend.

What currency pairs will you be monitoring this week?

One of the currency pairs that I like this week is the GBPUSD, earlier today it broke through an important support level, triggering a bearish market condition:

http://www.straightforex.com/forex_b...3/gbpusd55.png

See how it is trading below the support level? I’d definitely feel comfortable shorting the cable.

What do you think?

Good luck for the week ahead!

Hey Behzad,

I know, most trading opportunities happen during the London session I still get a few though...

Today I like both the NZDUSD and AUDUSD... both of them are extremely bearish... we'll see what happens...

Cheers,

Raul

Do you think it’s about time to trade the USDJPY?

It’s been a while since the last time I traded the USDJPY, it was complicated because it was trading around “intervention” levels. But now, it’s way above those levels, and even if the BOJ intervenes, it’ll be in our direction.

So I’m definitely going to look for long opportunities. This is what I see on the short term charts:

http://www.straightforex.com/forex_b...3/usdjpy28.png

Clear enough don't you think?

Are you trading the USDJPY?

Have you seen the potential of the NZDUSD daily chart? If you haven’t, here is the chart:

http://www.straightforex.com/forex_b...3/nzdusd30.png

The NZDUSD is trading in a very clear bearish condition. I have a trade open since yesterday and my intention is to hold it until it reaches the next LT support level.

Know where it is at?

I have it at 0.7475, more than 600 pips from where it is currently trading.

Do you think I should hold it?

Hi Raul

the NZD is Perhaps overvalued but shouldn't we be waiting for the turnaround to begin?
Have a nice day
