Head & Shoulders Pattern counters meThis Head and Shoulders Pattern counters my original trading bias. In case you doesn't get it, I'm having a buying bias on this AUDCAD, so the Head and Shoulders Pattern is like a kill-joy. I'll still trade the pattern once the market retest back to the level I am looking for.
However, my overall bias on AUDCAD remains Bullish.

Free 21pips to grabIf you have been following me, you would know this is not the kind of Trade I'll be sharing. But there you go. Shorting on the Red Line and Turning your shorts to long once it has a pattern confirmation on the blue like is where you get to long the same pair.
It's kind like free money, until it doesn't work.
If I have to pick a side, I will focus in looking for a Shorting opportunity, and that's because a Bearish Shark Pattern 🦈 has formed up.
USDJPY-Weekly Market Analysis-Feb23,Wk1My analysis for this year Mid 2023 still remains Bullish for US Dollar. So it's pretty normal for me to look for buying opportunity on USDJPY. If you are looking for shorting opportunity, the Bearish Gartley Pattern will expire by 31Jan2023, 6pm (GMT +8). This is not guess work but advance trading techniques that serious traders should know.
The first harmonic patterns that form up and gives me a confirmation signal, I will engage the trade. Obviously I'm incline to long the Bullish Bat Pattern.
EURUSD-Weekly Market Analysis-Feb23,Wk1EURUSD is on a Bullish Trend 🐮. On the Daily Trend EURUSD hit a resistance at 1.0878 as the market respect the Bearish Crab Pattern's HOP Level. If you are looking for Trend Trading Opportunity (looking to buy), I'll be looking to long at 1.0817 because the potential Bullish Shark Pattern converge with the Bullish Crab Pattern, this will attract 2 groups of buyer to engage the trade.
NZDJPY - Combo TradeWe could be a bit early for this 5-0 Pattern trading setup. That is because the daily chart has not confirmed; the candlestick pattern confirmation is required.
I pull the trading confirmation of the 1-hourly chart. This is a trading management I've been using and refining for the past 5years.
There are 2 kinds of trading management for the such combo.
ComboTrade - Valid trading setup off the higher timeframe, but we engaged the trade on the smaller timeframe
UpsizeTrade - Valid trading setup on the smaller timeframe and final target stretch to complete the higher timeframe.
Both are high-risk trade management, which means the chances of stop-loss being hit are higher, but the profit factor(reward) is amazing.
Of the two selections, upsize trade has the higher risk.
GBPUSD - High Risk TradeWell, this is not your typical high risk trade, but this is the cliche setup that I'll shout, "High Risk, High Return!"
Let me explain why this trading setup is High Risk.
The candlestick did went beyond the PRZ, in layman term the price confirmation zone mark as red rectangle. It touches Point X but didn't violate it(close above X).
The chances of this trade get stopped out is high but the stop-loss that is base on the usual stop-loss level is much lower and this is a potential combo trade aka upsize trade. Which means more than 2 as my profit factor for this trade is 💯 true for my final target
USDJPY - FREE MONEY!!This is the kind of trading setup that I used to shout! FREE MONEY!! It's a sideways bounce formation; as the name implies, I expect the market to bounce between the two zones, the red and blue zones. The profits are pretty good, given that it is a 15mins chart, it produces a potential of 56pips(approx 560usd/lot).
With that, risk management is essential. Don't jump into the trade without measuring your initial risk, and it is important to wait for the candlestick patterns confirmation so you can potentially avoid the one that is going to violate (BREAK) the trading setup.
OMG! Did I miss a trade?OMG! I was doing a qualifying call, and I might have missed the trade! And this is why I don't usually trade off the 15-minutes chart.
From my experience, this trade is gone, but a retest on 128.98 happens; it is a great second-chance entry.

One of my Oldest Trading TechniqueIf you have been following me, you should know that I was a born counter-trend trader, but you might not be aware that I am also a Breakout trader. What I love about breakout trading is the sudden spike of movement that brings me instant profits; nowadays, I do lesser of those trading setups.
I'm waiting for a break and close above 0.9345 for further confirmation of the trend continuation move; another approach is to wait for a retest on the trendline without having the candle break and close below the trendline.
GBPUSD-Weekly Market Analysis-Jan22,Wk3GBPUSD is on a bullish trend; a Bullish Bat Pattern completes at 1.2101 and gives us a candlestick pattern confirmation within the Bat Pattern, within the Demand Zone / Buy Zone. Note that Point C poses a warning sign for the Bat Pattern traders; a candlestick pattern confirmation is a MUST for me.
EURUSD - Trendline BreakThis was the trendline I was talking about on the chart link below. A break and close below this trendline would be the most aggressive setup for traders looking for a counter-trend trading setup.
For me, it's it depends. I will observe how the candlestick close, and sometimes I will wait for the retest of the trendline before heading in for a shorting opportunity.
Murderous Intent on GBPAUDI have a murderous intent on the GBPAUD, it is not because of revenge trade, heck, I don't even have any recent losing trades, and I've been trading for some time so I don't do that, but that is because I spotted something that many traders have missed out.
RSI Divergence on both the Daily Chart and 1-hourly chart. To top it up, on the Weekly Chart, the GBPAUD is on the Key Resistance Level.
As usual, there are a few ways to engage the trade, but I'm waiting for the candlestick pattern to retest 1.8214 for a shorting opportunity, so that it gives me a better Profit Factor.
AUDUSD - The Devil's TouchSince the analysis is unchanged, I won't be posting on the daily chart; check the link below and see how nicely the candlestick "respected" The Devil's Finger as it reversed on the trendline once touching it. That is the primary engagement method I will execute in my trade plan.
On the lower timeframe trading setup, you can wait for a break and close below 0.6673 for a breakout trading setup; you have to be aware there are a few road bumps along the road(bearish move) 0.6637, 0.6583. etc. If you shift stops to entry too early, your trade will close out without profits.
GBPUSD-Weekly Market Analysis-Dec22,Wk3On the Weekly Chart, the candlestick paused and reversed on the Key Resistance Level, and because of that, I have a Bearish bias on the GBPUSD trade.
Two levels of trading opportunity present themselves on the 1-hourly chart.
Structure-based setup, where the resistance level sits at 1.2222 or a Bearish Shark Pattern trading setup that completes at 1.2329.
