Trading idea: NZDUSD Short 27-April-2009

by Leave a Comment

This is another trading idea comes out from my weekend chart scan.  NZDUSD is another short pattern, that is targeting 0.560-ish, 0.5570-ish, and 0.5520-ish as 3 targets.  These offer 1:2, 1:3, 1:4 R/R.  We have official cash rate and RBNZ rate statement released this coming Thursday, so watch out.

I can be very wrong again, as always. However, it all depends on your trade and risk management skill. I am not going into that again. I wrote a related post Accuracy vs Risk reward ratio.

Here is the…. CHART! Let’s see how it works out.

One USDCHF trade 23-April-2009

by Leave a Comment

Short position of USDCHF was established at the same time as my EURUSD trade mentioned in the last post.  Technically, I was bearish about Dollar. Another classical text-book pattern. Profit target was hit on Friday with +2R , a perfect way to end the week. It has been a decent week with +7R. I am not trading on Friday.

On a side note, Oanda has been behaving abnormally today. There were times it prompted me ‘Server Busy’ and failed to log into my account, and quote was lagging, and , as I am writing now, my ‘Activity’ tab is empty. Well…. Any of my 12 readers encounter the same problem?

Here is the…. CHART!

*Update : Communicated with Oanda support, upgrade work of platform is going on, and Activity tab is disabled.

EURUSD trade closed 24-April-2009

Trading idea of Long EURUSD pays off today. Profit target was achieved and position was closed with +3R, or +200 pips (does pips count make me sound awesome? whatever…).

I guess, patience played the major part of this position. Well, I should admit that, there were times that I really wanted to exit earlier. Fortunately, I am old enough to know when to leave the machine, shut down the platform and enjoy some wine.

Alright, enough ranting. Here is the …. CHART

One USDJPY trade 22-April-2009

At the end of Tuesday U.S session, I saw a nice short setup in USDJPY. Classical text-book pattern to me, and offered me 1:2 R/R. 

Short position was established, profit target was achieved at the mid day of Asian session. Not too bad with +2R gain.

Here is the…CHART! Well, forget about the MACD, I was just too lazy to remove it.

Trading idea: EURUSD Long 21-April-2009

Firstly, the NZDUSD pattern failed last night, so, no trade was taken. Dollar had a good day, and it actually brought EURUSD back to daily support zone. I see opportunities to get in some Long positions. Orders are pending now, waiting for entry setup. Let’s see how it goes.  1:3 R/R setup. 

Anyway, here is what I see. Here ……….CHART!
