No whiplash Wednesday then and I didnt enter GBPCHF. There was an entry if you used correlation and leaders and laggards correctly but I was concerned about other GBP pairs breaking highs earlier in the day. I did however catch a nice entry on USDJPY my target was only 35 pips and price went 45. This strategy can be used on any pair or indices. Today looks quite messy to me but Im going to monitor GBPJPY. Price has already broken yesterdays low (so now different rules apply) and then closed back in the zone, hopefully thats to get some buyers in before it moves down. Again trade what you see not what you think is going to happen, if the conditions aren't right I wont jump in the trade.
So no SAFE entry on the GBPJPY set up from yesterday, price just shot off without retesting. For those who mark their own charts and have learned the strategy I hope you were monitoring USDJPY. Our 50 pip target was hit in under an hour, i also let a small position ride for 122 pips it went for a lot more but i dont hold overnight. Today some pairs look a little scrappy but I'll be monitoring GBPJPY GBPCHF & GBPUSD. Im going to put up GBPJPY as todays set up, lots of room to the North and South. In a perfect world it would be nice to see these 3 pairs correlate with GBPCHF as the leader.
Just a quick note. If you’re in any trade I wouldn’t want to hold it over the weekend because of gapping. If the gap goes against you then you’re not taken out at your stop loss you’re taken out at the opening price. It could be bye bye account.
Friday saw no safe entry on GBPJPY. It did break and hold above our zone but if you look at that wick when it broke through that was the thing that put me off. GBPUSD and GBPCHF both ran away so I didn't get in a trade on Friday. However, I know some of you got into US30 and/or USTEC which was great to see. I don't trade Europe as it opens on Monday but for those of you who do GBPJPY has interestingly come back down to the zones I had on Friday morning. You will see this happen a lot, look how important the top zone is now. Momentum is with the down side on the hour chart but not on the 4hour so I'd be happy to take a buy as well as a sell. I have just started an instagram channel learnf0rex if youd like to follow.
So yesterday was a great example of why I dont trade on Monday mornings and why we stick to our rules. GBPJPY faked out. Why didnt we enter? The breakout went too far at 25-30 pips, our maximum is 15 pips and Monday mornings are reknown for fake outs. A lot of breakout traders will have been caught by that. On to today, one of the pairs I'll be monitoring is GBPUSD. It has been consolidating for a few days now. Ok so the range is a big one but its still consolidation. looking for it to break and hold on the hour chart, then retest and reject possibly on a smaller time frame.
No video just at the moment as my Internet is intermittent to say the least. I dont trade Mondays until at least 1 hour before NY opens anyway.
