Hey everyone,
The EURUSD is looking pretty good for a short on this daily chart. Here is why:
1. Head & Shoulders pattern with neckline break (some may call the pattern a Bump and Run Reversal either way the implication is still very bearish)
2. 8,21 EMA cross downwards
3. Break of key support @ around 1.2730 as well as lower channel boundary
4. Price below21, 50, 200-EMAs
5. ADX @ 35
6. Price has already reached 50%-61.8% Fib zone (ambush zone) of previous downward swing
7. The weekly still in strong downtrend (8,21 EMA downward cross with ADX @ 34)
Will be looking to short on a pullback
Cheers!!!!!

Welcome to this trading blog. The purpose of this blog will be to highlight simple trading setups and concepts which will hopefully help to increase account balance, minimise stress (due to trading) and make us all better traders. I only look at higher timeframes (1 HOUR AND ABOVE) and as such am able to walk away from my computer screen i.e 'set-n-forget'. I am also a believer in the KISS (Keep It Stupidly Simple) principle and try to apply this to my trading using simple concepts e.g. divergence, minimal number of indicators, confluence of factors, and most importantly PRICE ACTION.
Hope you all enjoy it.

Hello all
Start of a new trading week.. Just got into a long position on the GBPUSD. The signal here was the highlighted hikkake pattern on the 4-Hour chart. So far so good

EURJPY
Hi all
Got creamed on the AUDUSD trade made on the 9th...ah well....
c'est la vie. I got into a short trade on the EURJPY yesterday. The signal was this beautiful pinbar(looks like a hikkake pattern) on the 1 Hour chart following the FOMC news. As of today I am up over 250 pips and the bearish momentum is going strong. My trade is at breakeven at the moment. Will see how this pans out.
Happy trading

AUDUSD
Hi Folks
Opportunity to go long on this pair. The signal is the inside bar (NR7). In addition there is a confluence of factors which support this trade idea:
1. Uptrend shown by the golden cross of the 8,21 EMAs(arrows) and sloping upwards
2. Trend very strong as indicated by an ADX over 30 and rising
3. Weekly chart (not shown) indicating 1,2 above
Entry would be at the close of the inside bar candle. I would be looking to exit @ 0.9400
Cheers and happy trading
