As Pre-London was wrapping up and the London market was preparing to open, we started to see some clear strength on the British Pound Sterling against all comers. Once direction was given, a very quick but clear 50% Fibonacci pullback was offered but only very briefly for those that were prepared for it in the first place. However, if this entry was missed one had to wait nearly 2 hours for the next logical shot on a pullback off of a completely closed hourly Bollinger Band. Here is the rub though, this perfect 50% Fibonacci pullback that occurred 2 hours later happened just 2 minutes before the MPC Meeting Minutes release. So while it was a technically perfect entry, you had to be willing to take the added event risk of the news, which just so happened to go in our direction. You did have time to decide this ahead of time though, as the charts were definitely telling us this scenario was a likelihood.Quite often in fact, you will find perfect technical entry points right before a news event. However, in this case we still felt the odds were in our favor as I describe in the video. While we covered all GBP pairings, in this video we focus on just the GBP/USD setup and every detail involved in the planning, execution, and exit of the trade.

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.

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

The USD has been quite the bull lately and we have not yet seen any reason technically for that to cease. With the situation in Greece very tense, the Euro has shown even further weakness. With this Euro weakness and USD strength we again were looking to the EUR/USD for some further clues of continuation down. In this video I highlight how we built a trade plan starting at today’s London Session around a 40′ish pip hourly price trap, break, and then retest. Once the break occurs it was time for our favorite friend Mr. Fibonacci to step in, and sure enough he coughed up several opportunities to snag a nice EUR/USD short entry to start the day. While it took all night to really follow through, it completed its drop today of 120 pips or so from the Fib in dramatic fashion with China raising it’s reserve requirements unexpectedly, causing a strong push to the 1.3550 area which also happened to be our daily M1 reversal pivot point, Profit take time! Lovely trade. Have a fantastic weekend folks! fxbootcamp London Currency Coach- Christian Stephens

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

The Eur/Jpy today finally reached it's 200 day moving average along with an overall 38.2 Fibonacci level overlap in the same area, going back to last year's highs around 170. Hitting this kind of overlapping resistance gave good reason to look for some nice decent quality short entries, taking advantage of some profit taking from the recent rise. While this move did begin prior to the fxbootcamp London session open, it still offered a quality entry off the lower highs that were presenting themselves all night. The short ended up hitting our immediate target of the hourly 21 ema, for 115 pip or so profit off our last entry, more if you got in pre-London. In the video I highlight how were able to identify a high probability low risk scenario all the way to the pip, giving us a ridiculous 7 to 1 or so reward vs. risk, hard to ignore. fxbootcamp London Currency Coach- Christian Stephens
