D-EUR

EURAUD Sell (Forecast) Technical Analysis: Price on the 4h has just broken structure to the downside showing the maybe for the next few days or even weeks we could be falling pretty heavily. When you look on the 1h timeframe it looks as if EA has a lot of momentum to the upside, which it does for now but at the same time this could be an ABC corrective wave to the upside before falling once again. The purple zone has many confluences telling us that could be our zone where we fall heavy. -4h level where price fell heavy before -1h Fib extension -4h 78.6% fib pullback -Broken Trend Line retest So there are a lot of things telling us that this pair could fall massively, but before we enter into the sell we want to first understand when it has run out of steam to the upside and then know when it is starting to shift it's momentum back to the downside.

EURUSD Quick Short Trade *LEARN TO TRADE MARKET GAPS*I have recently had a lot of success trading the weekend market gaps forming on a few major FX currency pairs so I thought I would show you another example and explain it in more detail. Market gaps most commonly occur when price moves quicker than the market or, in the case of weekends, when the market is closed. Things happen in the market over the weekend so when Sunday evening trading opens, price has normally moved or "gapped" away from the close price on Friday. I don't trade every gap I see in the market and that is because of how the gap forms as part of the prevailing trend that is showing. I always try to trade with the trend and use market gaps as a discounted way of entering into a normal trend following trade. This example is on EURUSD. The market gaps upon opening and is now around 20 pips higher than the close price on Friday. This is good because the price has gapped up when I have the bearish trend marked on the chart with the lower highs and bearish TL. A gap up means I can enter short and be onside with the current bearish trend. This seriously helps with profitability and success in the long term. My confluences for taking this trade are: - RSI showing over bought. - Price is around daily pivot level. - Bearish trendline - Lower highs and lows. I always place my Stoploss 10 pips above the current high when taking my pivot trades and I have used this same method for these quick gap trades. Profit Targets: My TP1 is always set to the Friday close price. This means the gap has been fulfilled. TP2 is set at the daily S1 level. This is taken from my day trading strategy because if there is a lot of momentum then it makes sense to ride it out for more profit. TP3 is set at the daily S2 level if there is still enough bearish momentum to make it there. R:R Ratios: - If price makes it to TP1 then that is a very simple 2:1 trade. - TP2 would make the trade a 4:1 trade. - TP3 would make this trade over 6:1 R:R which is crazy but sometimes possible if there enough momentum in the markets. Thanks for reading and I hope this helps at least a few of you to start spotting and trading market gaps. They really are very good to help you get a head start on the week ahead and lock in a few % profit before Monday has even began!

Elliot Wave Alternation Elliot Wave Alternation The guideline of alternation states that if wave two of an impulse is a sharp retracement, expect wave four to be a sideways correction, and vice versa. Figure 22 shows the most characteristic breakdowns of impulse waves, both up and down. Sharp corrections never include a new price extreme, i.e., one that lies beyond the orthodox end of the preceding impulse wave. They are almost always zigzag (single, double or triple); occasionally they are double threes that begin with a zigzag. Sideways corrections include flats, triangles, and double and triple corrections. They usually include a new price extreme, i.e., one that lies beyond the orthodox end of the preceding impulse wave.

Why 90% of Retail Traders Fail - "Fear of Missing Out!"There are so many reasons why 90% of retail traders fail. One of the main reasons is because retail traders over trade. They fear missing an opportunity and because of this they think there is always an opportunity when in reality there isn't. As traders, it is our job to find high probable setups. Probable setups are limited though... so you need to have patience to wait for them to unfold. All too often I see traders here chasing price , and this EURUSD today is a perfect example of this. I can't even imagine how many traders got short on the break out of this short term up trend line. Many probably waited for the hourly candle to close to enter, but what happened? Immediately after they entered price reversed sharply and is on the way to stopping those traders out who most likely have their stop loss just above the high around 1.047. If we look at the price action over the month of December on this pair, we can clearly see the 1.05-1.052 area have been strong support where buyers continuously stepped in every time price approached it. Once that support was broken you can see that the role of the level reversed and it became resistance. Sellers came in on the back side of the level, however only intraday did it retest the level. It is likely that there will be an official retest of the figure and another major attempt to the downside, even if it is just to the previous low. IF price comes back to a major area that was support it will VERY LIKELY become resistance. A setup like this is a high probable setup, but it takes a while to unfold. It has been 6 days so far since the level has been broken. Maybe it will hit the level today... maybe not. Maybe it will hit the level tomorrow... maybe not. Maybe it will hit the level next week. Maybe it will NEVER come back to the level... Who knows... but as traders we must be patient if we want to get the most probable setups. It is better to miss a trade than to take a poor trade! If you want to get setups that have low odds of working out, that is fine. You do you, but if this resonates with even one trader and helps them trade better than my job here is done.
