Although the EUR/USD continued on it’s merry way downward from pre-London into London itself, one can’t help but look for any clues/opportunities to sneak into a counter trend spot/scalp back up on the EUR/USD at least on the short term. With NFP tomorrow morning, and quite a solid extension this week on the EUR/USD drop, a short term counter seemed feasible. In this video I discuss how we setup for a possible counter trend trade, what we looked for, and how we entered/exited the trade for a 50 pip profit/20′ish pip risk sort of move before the short continued again.

Pre-London completed some of our earlier trades going on and finally hit some support targets we had been after on several pairings. So here we were in familiar territory, London open at support/reversal pivot points, pretty much know what happens there, countertrend scalping back to resistance. So in this video I show one of these trades, the EUR/JPY, and how we set it up, why we did, and where the executions here. Ultimately an unexpected news release just before London lunch finished our move to it’s finally target before fully coming back down to the support zone again.

London opened today looking very much ready to provide another leg of further retracement on the long term drops we had recently enjoyed on many pairings such as GBP/USD and EUR/JPY. In this video I focus on the trade plan for the flip of the EUR/JPY. The speculative entry off the hourly 21, the short term higher risk Fibonacci entry, and then the more conservative pullback entry plan, any of which paid you 50+ pips with relative ease.

As we reviewed the charts today prior to our London open, it did not take long to realize that many of our pairings were in a bit of a consolidation period coming into th London morning. These ranges however had indeed been tightening as London neared, and looked poised for a possible breakout sometime between London and the New York morning. As it turns out London itself turned out to be a lot of entries, but very few pips, as nearly everything we took started up 20-30 pips only to end up stopped break even. Wonderful day for a scalper or price scaler maybe, but not for sustainability. However, in this video I highlight one such trade plan that took nearly all night to finally start to pay off something substantial and that was the EUR/GBP. As discussed in the video we found ourselves in a tight apex which finally had a break below the support, and then it was just a matter of awaiting the pullback that actually offered 3 opportunities for one to enter before getting a move on.

During a testimony to a joint economic committee of US Congress, Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke reiterated the central bank’s pledge to keep its main interest rate low for an extended period. The subsequent dollar sell-off lifted the EUR/USD currency pair more than 50 pips to its daily R2 pivot point.

Asia’s activity today left us with a little cloudy picture on several pairs coming into London. We definitely had clear direction on many pairs but found ourselves near interim support/resistance on the same pairs as London was opening, so what we needed were some pullbacks. One such pairing was the GBP/USD today, which found itself pulling back to a near perfect Fibonacci zone which overlapped multiple types of dynamic ema resistance exactly as London opened. While this entry was ideal, should one have missed this entry (which sadly I did due to my alarm being 2 pips further), how could we try and still enter this trade conservatively and not feel like we were price chasing. Well in this video I show you how I walked the fxbootcamp room through that very process. Ultimately it offered us two opportunities to join this move, one ended up break even while the other ended up a 50-60 pip traded depending how you decided to take profit, near or at the Weekly Central Pivot point. Regardless of your bias on a pairing you still must be able to build a trade plan with acceptable risk parameters or you simply should not take the trade. This video shows how we finally were able to make the risk/reward make sense to join this in the middle of it’s move. fxbootcamp London Currency Coach- Christian Stephens

Pre-London gave us some clues, along with one trade that ended up stopped out break even on the GBP/USD pairing. We had many clues of an impending rise, at least on the short term. In this video I show in detail how we planned, and ultimately confirmed our entry reasoning/criteria, primarily using Fibonacci, 21 ema’s , macd, stochastics and higher lows. Also, why we took significant profit pretty much exactly at what ended up being the top of the move. This top turned out to be a reversal point for the remainder of the London session going into the British rate announcement due this morning. This entire move took place within the first half hour of the London open, a quick 60-70 pips when played properly, nothing wrong with that one day before NFP. Have a great weekend!

As the London session began today we were showing signs of the EUR/GBP challenging it’s previously broken resistance as role reversal support. Sure enough we did indeed break it halfway into the London morning. This also popped the GBP/USD to a higher high of it’s recent range, along with GBP/JPY and the GBP/CHF pairs, everything GBP basically. While all of the aforementioned pairs offered decent trade plan/set-ups this video I focus entirely on how we built the plan on the EUR/GBP, waited for our entry criteria to be met, then pounced on it once this criteria was achieved. Very successful day buying the British Pound, but one HAD to have patience early on in the day, as we were in a range for the first couple hours of London today. fxbootcamp London Currency Coach- Christian Stephens
