FOREX VIDEO REVIEW: London Session March 25, 2009

17th February 2010 by Comments Off

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

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

London today opened with the British Pound/USD pairing stuck in a little triangle, price trap. Just as London opened it seemed to breach the upper resistance of this trap , but quickly proved to be a fakeout when we awaited a pullback. In this video I show how, in great detail, how we were able to stay out of the long, and build a solid tradeplan on the break either way of the trap. Sure enough we got a break on the next test of the bottom, awaited a Fibonacci pullback to the now broken …

Normally when I make a video I focus on a complete trade setup, start to finish, that we 100% planned/executed in the London session classroom, I do not like to make a video’s on things I did not cover totally live in the classroom. Today however, by member request, I am making a video on a GBP/USD short trade plan that I planned and executed prior to taking the London microphone. Although we did have some minor short term reload activity during the London session, this video is meant to …

London started off kind of slow today and we bounced around a bit looking for strength versus weakness. Most of us were in some sort of a British Pound long from late in the pre-London session, but we were starting to see some clues of exhaustion, time to take some profit, or protect pips. Then we took notice of the GBP/JPY pair particularly starting to show short term MACD divergence pretty much exactly when it was hitting it’s Daily 200ema, previous swing high on the Daily chart, as well …

Very sweet session indeed on quite a few pairs today. In this video I focus on just one reload entry of one of these moves, the short on the GBP/USD. We had opened London and extended right down to our daily M1 pivot point/4 hour 200 ema combination. In this video I essentially show you the plan for a re-entry into this short yet again off of a combination of Fibonacci levels, hourly 5ema, daily S1 pivot point, and 4 hour 5 ema, and targeting our S2 pivot point today around 1.6250 or so …

The EUR/USD had been showing Lower High’s for quite a while now on the 4 hour charts, forming a very distinct falling trend line. Just before London got started today we break this trend line. Typically, once something like this occurs, it’s very commonplace that a retest of this area is a high probability entry point back in the direction of the break, even if just for the short term. So let’s see, here we are at London market opening, after breaking this trend line and now sitting on the …

After yesterday’s fun selloff of the USD during London, we began pre-London today well extended on our Daily charts. The GBP/USD, EUR/USD, AUD/USD, all a country mile from their Daily 5 ema’s respectively. While this alone is not a reason to enter a trade back to those levels, it certainly makes it difficult to continue our USD selling until either support catches up to price, or more likely, a pullback to near those levels ensues. So in this video I show how I built a trade plan to Short …

We were kind of direction less for the most part on the majors as we neared the London open today. However, just prior to London opening we had the beginning of a British Pound selloff against all comers. The initial break of the price trap did not offer the high quality pullback we were looking for, so it was fairly easy to miss this nice move, unless you were very aggressive and sold simply at the hesitation. So then we watched as the GBP pairings hit support on longer term charts, such as …
