Hello readers, I came back to the blog and see that it has been a long time since I have posted anything new. I am still here and of course still trading. The strategy that is currently working best is the Forex Morning Breakout Trade (New York Open). For me, I also find the strategy works best when the NY market opens on Wednesdays and Thursdays...it's almost like by mid-week the market wakes up and remembers what it is supposed to do! I typically only trade two days a week now using this strategy alone; and I generally gain 70 to 110 pips a ...

Hello Forex Enthusiasts: I hope you are enjoying my blog and its trading ideas. As you may have read about in my forex blog; I do have one highly preferred method that I have been successfully trading on a LIVE account nearly every week for over a two years now. HINT: Once you read and learn the strategy, here is another tip that makes it even more effective: I've found that it is the most accuate on the AUD/USD, the EUR/USD and the EUR/JPY (in that order). In fact, when you see this set-up on the AUD/USD; I would recommend that you ...
Here is a great article that was published today by Dailyfx.com. Every trader needs to discover and then consistently implement an approach that fits well with their 'trading personality'. Then use a solid money management strategy and that is how you win in the currency exchange markets. The three simple approaches I have been relying on for over 2 years now can be learned here. I think if I hadn't started implementing this type of breakout trading and swing trading strategies, I probably would have quit forex within a few months of starting. As always, trade on a demo account ...
Admin note: I don't really using any scalping strategies anymore for my personal trading. For me, scalping actually takes longer just waiting for a set up and I would prefer to check the charts at the beginning of the end of the day to see if there is a trade to place for the day. (One of the main strategies I use that requires checking the charts only once a day after the New York close is detailed in these training videos.) But I know many of my readers come here looking for scalping type, intra-day trade strategies. If you ...
Admin note: I've been trading for over 3 years now as of December 2011....and I've finally settled into 3 main strategies which are consistently dependable and accurate. They are all really simple too: Swing trading (when you hold a trade for 1 to 3 days), trading the NY Open when there is momentum, and trading breaks of a Head and Shoulders pattern. Using these three strategies together and trading only when the market is moving with momentum has been incredibly effective. The article below explains about more about the indicators used in Swing Trading. And don't worry -- you don't ...
[caption id="attachment_4" align="alignleft" width="124" caption="forex rsi indicator"][/caption] Tuesday Oct 6th midnight New York time: Hello Hello! I have had the most crazy of all Septembers with the kids getting back to school. We also had the swine flu sweep through our home shortly after school started (we have all recovered after mild cases) and I recently picked up a part-time educational consulting gig....all of which has taking me away from the trading room for several weeks. I have just come back today and I do have a plan for a breakout EUR/USD trade on the weekly charts. I have an order set to go LONG ...
I ran across this great article today. This is truly an effective and simple strategy. I really like how this trader uses the "doji pattern" to make decisions when trading. If you don't know what a doji is, it is a bar that has an open and close point at nearly the very same spot. It looks like a plus sign on the chart, so it's easy to spot. If you aren't sure what I'm referring to, then do a quick "Google Image" search on "doji candlestick" and you can see what they look like. - Ann P., who recommends these training videos which are ...

The Head and Shoulders pattern is known as a "trend-reversal pattern." It is also known for being one of the most reliable trend-reversal signals in the market. Basically, the head and shoulders is when the currency pair makes 3 peaks close together in time, with the middle peak higher than the two side-by-side peaks (see video below for visual example and explanation.) Therefore, it looks like an outline of a ...More

Today I just wanted to draw your attention to a good and simple explanation of how to interpret and place trades using some chart patterns - specifically double tops/double bottoms and triple tops/triple bottoms.
I thought this would be a good time to post a link to this, especially since we are sitting just above a double bottom right now on the EUR/USD even as ...More
