NZD/JPY and CAD/JPY on watch for me today.Hi guys and girls.
So I got involved in a long trade last night on CAD/JPY at just after 7:00 PM BST on the break of a tight fifteen minute flag which I posted a screenshot of just a moment ago, but I was then once again wicked out almost to the tick (never mind the pip) as the Asian Session opened. Unfortunately market manipulation as I've touched on before has been rife across the market as of late, regardless of how much regulation brokers are subjected to and particularly where the clear and obvious setups such as the ones which I look for are concerned because brokers obviously know where your stop loss is likely to be. But try and look for setups which aren't clear and obvious and I can assure from experience that your results will be far worse.
So that's yet another loss for me, but I'm still massively in profit for the year and overall, at least by enough to justify the fact that trading is partly how I make my living.
The amount I risked on this trade is the most I've ever risked on a trade where live trading is concerned, so the amount that I lost on this trade is therefore obviously the most I've ever lost on a trade too. But because I'm experienced and I've primed my psychology to deal with market manipulation and losses it has zero effect on my psychology whatsoever. If it did then I likely wouldn't have CAD/JPY on watch again which would mean that I would potentially be missing out on another glorious investment opportunity and that's why I tirelessly stress the importance of scaling your mindset before you try scaling your account.
All we can do as traders is keep rolling the dice and we have an edge over the market as I do then over a large enough sample size of trades our edge will play out.
NZD/JPY:
• If price corrects and a tight one hour flag forms, then I'll be looking to get long with a reduced risk entry on the break of the flag.
• If my entry requirements are not met then I will simply wait until another setup which meets my plan materialises.
• If there's any ambiguity then I will not place a trade on this pair.
CAD/JPY:
• If price impulses up, it does so in a convincing manner and a tight one hour flag forms, then I'll be looking to get long with a reduced risk entry on the break of the flag.
• If my entry requirements are not met then I will simply wait until another setup which meets my plan materialises.
• If there's any ambiguity then I will not place a trade on this pair.

EU Trade recap from Previous ForecastPrice has behaved exactly as expected so far this week and presented us with several opportunities.
This was a clean short taken last night, exactly as forecast at the beginning of the week.
Price pulled back to 50% of the main move down and then gave us a confirmation entry on the lower time frames.
We are still in a higher time frame down trend, however price is getting slightly messier now.
Hopefully we get a clean Asian runner short this afternoon to continue the Daily trend lower.

EU Fractal movesThis chart gives you a brief explanation around how we read price action on EU across multiple time frames.
It is always important to look at price action on a Fractal level across multiple time frames.
Understanding the main trend, main ranges will help you to identify key Areas to trade from and also key areas to target for Pts.
Sometimes knowing where to take profit from is just as if not more important then knowing where to enter.
EU Trade recap from yesterdays ForecastJust posting a quick analysis to follow yesterdays forecast.
This trade set up just after the forecast that was posted yesterday.
At the time the forecast was posted we were still in a down trend on the 15 and 5 min time frame, and we had a 1hr range marked on as the area to go agressive at.
Because price had rebalanced to the 50% of this range we knew price could go early.
The 15min trend change in pre london session was this indication and that is why we then placed this trade targeting the weak high that was mentioned in the forecast.
This is a perfect example of adapting to the market and not waiting for the key 1hr range edge as the only area to trade from.

💭 €4,300 In my sleep 💤 (recap)last night we executed a few trades prior to the New York market close and before we went to sleep, this morning many of those trades were in profit and one trade reached its Stop Loss while the other reached its Take profit.
- FTSE SELL / STOP LOSS
- XAGUSD SELL / TAKE PROFIT
While the other trades, such as AUDUSD and GBPUSE were in a decent profit.
Since the target of this account is 10% a day, the account has reached its target before we even started trading for the day!
Questions are welcome and good luck!
XAUUSD Short 10k recapHere's a quick recap of how we shorted XAUUSD this morning at the London open and banked over 10k profit.
We traded a reversal in price coming to the 30% of the fib retracement, from the recent high to the recent low, RSI was up at the 70 level and it was all connected with a trendline.
This is a classic example of the trade setups we take.
Questions are welcome and will all be answered.
Tuesday Watch-list Overview Good evening everyone,
This video is just to go into more detail on the charts I sent out into the group earlier today. We have been taken out of USDCHF for 25pip SL, well done to those who avoided the stop hunt.
I'll still be looking for a short on the pairs as the USD is showing weakness across the board.
The pairs are not yet breaking the previous days lows or highs, so this means they are in NO TRADING ZONES!!!
Remain patient and wait for the setups to arise, you don't have to be in a trade all of the time. Our trade copier has banked over 2% today on USDJPY, do not feel pressured into trading, if you have funds in the copier let the algo do it's thing and focus on trading yourself.
For anyone who would like more information on the paid services we provide at Alpha Trading Group, please leave a message in the comment section below.
Trade safe everyone.
