GOLD - New Long positions - 8 to 1??Hello all - DuncanForex here with another trade idea
Following the move higher on the 24th and 25th October, I am looking to enter again off Support.
Price is at a great level and I'm long at 1486
Lets see if this can get up to the previous highs from last week
Reason for entry is
Off Key Support level
RSI showing divergence on 1 hour chart
If it breaks the 1495 area - I will hold certainly to 1515 and may take partial profit and let it run
3 positions are open.
I will watch accordingly
Find me on Twitter , YouTube and my website
thanks for looking

GOLD XAUUSD - 9 to 1 long tradeHello all - DuncanForex here with another trade idea.
With gold pulling back to the 50% to 61.8% area - I am looking to take more entries in Gold.
With price action over night, I am expecting it to cycle higher today.
On the 1 hour chart it is starting to make some bullish price action, - if the high on the 4 hour candle is broken, it could mean a lot more upside
Thanks for looking at my trade idea

Long on QQQ The market has been very choppy lately with lots uncertainty. The qqq was unable to make new highs on the previous move up. although this may be true, we can still see a potential trade to the upside with a reasonable stop loss below. The qqq has pulled back to the 61.8 Fibonacci retracement level. also it has some support which was respected twice last week. For this trade, I will go long at the end of the day on a bullish close and strong volume for a risk reward ration of about 1 to 2.
The MACD is also showing signs that there may be a trend reversal in the near future. So I will take a small position in SQQQ to protect against any large moves to the downside.

Strategy used for "Anti USD" currencies.
If bar closes above the line without touching the line buy, play is good for 100 pips, however, there could be more depending on price action. Sames goes for below the line. If a bar closes below the line without touching, sell.
PLAY CANCELS at the beginning of the day, however play can also continue from previous day, watch charts.
Pottential Zones on the $EURUSDReading Price Action. It is coming up to creating a double top. Looking left, there is previous structure Resistance. Looking for reason for Entry such as RSI Divergence and over bought on the lower time frame for a reason to get short. For Counter trend Traders.
On the lower time frame Market is bullish so, I will be looking for reasons to get long in the 115's Zone

Good luck in the markets.
Let's Sip Some $NZD/CAD in the Cup and Handle :)Let me take a minute to emphasis the Importance of this Resistance its a BIG one seriously.
This Resistance line which is Being Approached on $NZDCAD has held several times during this year before this encounter.
Also there is a CUP & HANDEL pattern forming which is giving some insane targets of close to 1.0450 so don't get carried away so easily.
I am looking for a break of this Resistance Line in coming Days.
Happy & Profitable Trading
Cheers!!

GOLD(Monthly) Decision Time
Everyone is Busy with Daily and Hourly charts,So I have stepped back and trying to shed some light on Monthly as it is at a very Crucial Decision point.
Falling Trend line from all time Highs we hit in 2011 is here to decide the faith of Gold ;)
Short Term Correction at least to $1200 is expected in coming month or two, it may not come in light of some Big Global Risk event.
Big Supply zone at $1500 - $1600 which is also a important Fib level.
Best Demand Zone from a Decade perspective is lying at $980 - $890 which again is a important fib level.
Medium Term Traders Look to Buy around $1200 levels and look for break of the falling trend line.
Long Term Investors should Buy around the marked Demand Zone as it will offer them best risk to reward ratio.
I hope i have not disappointed anyone neither Bulls Nor Bears :) I have something for everyone ;)
Take Care
CAD/CHF - Bearish MovementsThis pair is looking very bearish. Will wait for two consecutive bearish candlesticks to post before entering a short trade once we have broken the symmetrical triangle trend line. Trying to stay away from EUR & GBP currencies in the anticipation of a high volatility market over the coming days and weeks. Will keep my eye on this one to see how it progresses.
GBPJPY 15 Bearish CYPHER PATTERN @ 157.64Hi Guys,
This is a bearish CYPHER pattern @ 157.64 and stop loss will be placed above the X leg which we use as good resistance in this case. TARGETS ON THIS TRADE WILL BE DIFFERENT TO USUAL AS I VIEW THIS AS A DOWN-TRENDING PAIR, THEREFORE TARGETS WILL BE AT SUPPORT/RESISTANCE LEVELS. IF/WHEN first targets are met, half of the position would be closed for profit and stop loss for the second half of the position will be moved to break-even, ensuring a risk-free trade.
Thank you for your support.

NZD/USD OUTLOOK LONGS FAVORABLE.NZD/USD OUTLOOK. NU finally broke above the 0.68736 level giving us a nice break retest this week. Added a fib retracing to the 78.60% level. Will be watching closely on market open for a pull back to execute a long to D2 extension (61.00%) level witch also is confluent with historical resistance 0.72315. If we do not see a pullback and my trading plan is not fulfilled we will simply stand aside and watch are prediction develop. Please check are Second post on NZD/USD Weekly for further confluences to the upside. Discipline is crucial stick to your plan.
Plenty of bearish confluence racking up on AUDNZDNo doubt who is in control here. Pretty much a selloff since 2011-ish, with bullish pullbacks here and there.
In the start of December '14, a bearish crossover occurred on the D1 after a pullback, and the selloff continued down.
Yesterday's candle (Monday, 09/03) showed a clear rejection of the key level around 1.0515 and the 50EMA.
Bears are definitely present at this level, and heaps of bearish confluence are loading up at this level;
1. Overall bearish momentum
2. D1 death cross
3. Possible rejection candle approaching
4. Rejection of key support
5. Rejection of dynamic resistance (50EMA)
6. Head and Shoulders pattern (bearish continuation pattern)
(7. close to a rejection of 50% fibo lvl)
(8. Slight MACD divergence)
Normally I go for 4-5 confluence factors, to place a trade, so if another rejection occurs today, I am definitely looking to get short on this pair, with 6-8 confluence factors supporting a short trade.
