London started today by showing strong stings of continuing the Asian upward direction on many pairs. However, we found ourselves directly on resistance as the London Market itself opened for business, which generally leads to selling, at least on the short term. So while our daily outlook for the overnight session was continuation for many pairs, short term scalp opportunities on pullbacks definitely looked to exist. We focus on one such opportunity in this video involving the EUR/JPY. While the pre-London scalp worked fine, the London open entry ended up being a dud. This video was made to show you that not every plan works as intended, but if you enter your trades properly, you can usually walk away from even a failed trade with a worse case scenario of break even, or maybe a handful of pips. This is why patience, discipline, proper risk vs reward ratio’s, and ultimately Trader Psychology is are such important elements of a successful trade of anything, not just Forex.

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.

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!

The British Pound Sterling opened today’s London session looking very tired to the upside, showing things such as continuous lower highs on the GBP/USD, and higher lows on the EUR/GBP. The ‘Cable’ seemed almost destined to tag it’s 4hour 21 day exponential moving average, all we needed was a reasonable trade plan, and entry criteria with a proper risk vs. reward ratio to get us in, that we could live with. In this video I highlight in great detail, how what we spotted on the daily and 4 hour charts at first, led us to identifying a quality price trap on the 15 minute intraday chart at the London up. Then ultimately used one final lower high on a small 1 minute chart to prove our direction, build a plan, and take a Fibonacci pullback after the break of our trap for some nice pips. There was indeed volatility today, and one’s total success certainly depended on profit taking practices. However, we did indeed ultimately reach our price trap projection, along with the 4hour 21ema before a solid round of profit taking began. Patience and discipline were the key here, while a price ‘chaser’ would have gotten creamed today, the pullback trader became well fed. fxbootcamp London Currency Coach- Christian Stephens

While Asia into pre-London offered us a fantastic short term GBP/JPY pullback long off of a weekly m1 reversal pivot point, London was setting up to offer us an even better reload to the downside direction that our Daily trap break began yesterday. In this video I discuss in detail how we pre-determined the area we were looking at as resistance, how we isolated that region, and ultimately what we looked for specifically to enter the short with confidence, all while keeping risk as low as possible. This trade worked fantastically, partially helped by negative GBP Retail Sales news later on, and if you kept it long term continued well into the NY open. Fantastic trading week for sure, have a great weekend! fxbootcamp London Currency Coach- Christian Stephens

Today’s London session was kind of tacky other than the quite obvious British Pound weakness throughout the night. While the GBP/USD short paid nice dividends from the pre-London entry, in this video I focus more on a completely different trade on the EUR/JPY. However, we did use the GBP weakness in the form of EUR/GBP breaking resistance to give us our confirmation on the EUR/JPY long. This trade plan shows how price action will often respect previous area’s of resistance as support, in the …

We began today’s London session already enjoying a decent GBP/USD short trade from pre-London. However, we find ourselves at a Weekly central pivot point, and 4 hour 21 ema exactly at London open. Even if there would be further downside in the British Pound’s future, opening a major market at support is always something to be very aware of, and probabilities are that we will head up from that point, at least back to some sort of Fibonacci pullback zone. In this video I show first how we …

After yesterday’s break on the GBP/USD of the Daily chart channel top, and subsequent hit of the Daily 200 ema, we were poised for possible short trade setups after a 15m lower high developed. We were anticipating a retest of the Daily 5ema zone, channel top retest, as well as the 4hr 21ema, and 38.2 Fibonacci pullback, before any possible larger rise. As technical as we were set up to be, we were slapped with some surprise Fundamental news, when S&P downgraded GBP, citing debt was nearing …
