morning all ...............

heres my take on action so far this morning ..........usd had a good us session and this has flowed into Asian ..............that's a solid bull move .........nearly 20 pips in Asian session

its definitely retraced since ..........I like this pattern as it sets me up for London bull........but I havnt seen it yet .............

hmmmm........tricky so far

N

not sure if we are really back in bull for London but its a start :smart:

t2win went down earlier ..seems ok now

anyway I was trading earlier ....some call on Fs thread

usd has been flat as a pancake...........so you have to work hard to make scalps on USD pairs

Hi all

couldn't get away today ........grrrrrr

heres a continuation of my last post ..........see how the USD index kept drifting south in London session ?.............I would have been correct to chase the usd bull

then the classic pattern..........a selloff as the London transitioned into early us session.........................then peddle down resells as the market woke up

100% predictable ?..........of course not

predictable enough to make money ? - for sure !!!

these indexes are not to scale ..I simply overload the 6 index indicators from my free links below in the signature area and watch the directional signals ....works on any TF

anyway ...........see that the US session really pulled the signals ?

look at the USD and Yen both falling (I love it when these guys team up)........and the GBP coming off the deck after earlier falls ?...........

now that's a signal !!!

the week was interesting .......

bull plays into green usd and yellow Yen ..........to midweek.......blue Euro was also a buy until it dumped like a stone Wednesday ........

best to be Selling Red GBP and Brown CAD through same period ........

Then a big big pivot point early Asian session Thursday ..........all change as the Yen/USD combo team fell into the weekend ......see those tests of highs that got rejected on both currencies ?........that's a real signal to try some early exploratory sell positions ........also then best to bounce buy red GBP off of weeks lows .....CAD and even Euro were ok at times to buy then .....

for me 90% of the trading battle is to understand the G8 market........ the dynamics do have certain repetitive patterns once you know what to look for .........and then make the plays at the best times

morning all

apologies I have been really tied up in my consulting role ...........

anyway 2 mins to drop in and I see the usd playing classic pattern so far today .....

expect a selloff soon then ...........that R line should hold at least initially

you tell me on potential currency buys ........European bounces as good as any
