Forex Journal #1- GBPUSD Counter TradeIn my journal, I'm noticing GBPUSD made a new lower low on the 4 hour timeframe. Although price in in an uptrend as clearly seen on the daily and weekly timeframe, any sells taken will be a countertrend trade.
I prefer to trade down to my weekly estimation zone 1.27585 and entering on the 4 hour timeframe to keep the stop loss small.
Trade at your own risk and risk level.
I'd love if you can reply your thoughts and like the video for more.

USDJPY retracement at the highAfter a few indecision candles at the high, followed buy a volume push up to a major resistance, I became alert that a bearish setup might present. Friday closed off with a variation of a bearish engulfing. When price closes beyond a price then closes right back beneath it its a sign that this price is being rejected. Naked analysis tells us that the 1hour chat has already began its downward momentum. A minor double top formed. My short entry was based on the high volume bearish engulfing re-test at the neckline. The 30MIN chart has begun creating its lower highs and lower lows. This is a short scalp. the buy will likely present later in the week.
Long Scalp on ETHAfter the daily made a bearish push to the downside I wanted to see how price reacted to the 38.2 prz level. on the 4H, a hammer on top of the 38.2 fib as well as support. Breaking things down to a lower timeframe I had a correction trendline drawn from the latest swing highs. Price had broken the correction trendline and began up trending on the 15min and 30min chart so i bought with my stop loss being below the 30min low. take profit at -27.% from that 38%.

I might buy this minor uptrend but GOLD IS BEARISHGold is coming off of lower low after lower low on all major timeframes so its not surprise that my first bias is bearish. However, when it comes to intraday trading, momentum is important for swings in the market and the difference between volatility or consolidation while profits float. I'm going to take this opportunity to buy gold if a structural higher high is formed since my immediate correction trendline has already been broken. Any buys are short term countertrend moves as the winning team is currently the bears. The neckline of the daily double top and retest of weekly resistance will not go unnoticed.
AU providing a hint for a reversalAUDUSD is currently at its lowest point since breaking out of consolidation on last week. This week it may look to re-test the bottom of the range or the neckline of a confirmed double top bearish reversal pattern. However, the case, this pair is overall bearish. The big move will come from a short. I've noticed that its currently trading around the weekly support and has performed a higher high, would be a trendline break if price wasn't moving so fast but the moving average has already crossed to the upside. If that low holds as support, I'll look to buy to the 38.2 Price reversal zone (PRZ).
I'm correcting errors mid-weekI decided to publish a video about the recent trades taken and the aftermath. I believe that I see structure clearly, however my bias changes depending on the timeframe. I'll be ultimately bearish on Sunday and Monday, then decide I want to be bullish Monday night to trade up to the sell. I understand that counter trend trading is dangerous to the risk: reward portfolio. This video will be watched back 2-3 times by myself as I learn more about the market from "teaching" it. I'll also be posting more videos regarding pre analysis, leading up the decision to take the trade.
Counter trend Buy Opportunity On the 1H I believe that now is the best time to get inside for a countertrend bullish move. Gold is in a downtrend since reaching its all time high. Intraday I will spot higher highs with strength and momentum. The prior higher high was fairly strong. Price retraced to the 38.2 then began giving bullish reversal signals. My target is the major 38% retracement of a daily swing low. The entry was based on the 30min.

Counter trend Opportunity 5min chart.Gold broke down to a Low on the 4H however it didn't confirm the break with a new bearish candle but rather an indecision candle followed by a bullish engulfing. This counter trend setup is based on a false break. the 1h TDI is still bearish. This setup is based on the 30min and 5min already up trending. This is attempting to buy the pullback.

Tutorial | How To Use RSI To Find Turning Points ... or NOT!Hey Speculators - Happy Friday - welcome to another video tutorial, and thanks again to the @TradingView Editors for featuring my last post, which I've linked here, and is related to the topic on hand for today. That topic is how, and when, to not fight a trend.
I'd suspect many traders are familiar with the Relative Strength Indicator (RSI), used to measure overbought and oversold conditions. In this video, I discuss what I look for when using RSI to filter trade signals and identify when strong is REALLY strong. The inverse would hold true as well (you know, weak, or really WEAK), but we all know markets never go down. :)
