I don't place trades off of the daily timeframes but I do watch them on a consistent basis as part of my top-down analysis and GBPJPY has been one that has been in some what of a fight as of late. After easily rallying up into structure it's come to a halt and it looks as if the bulls may be running out of steam. Just look at the wicks, they're trying to push...

If you missed the initial analysis here's a video where I go over it. I think it starts at about the 20 minute mark, but you might as well watch the entire thing ;-) Weekend Review: "The Most Important thing You Can Do Is..." www.youtube.com We've been tracking this index for the past few weeks in the Live Room and so far we've been spot on with our...

The Forex markets have been kicking my tail this week so I decided to take a look at some other markets simply to clear my mind. Conducting technical analysis is actually a stress reliever to me, when I get do it on something that I don't trade. A few of my clients have expressed that they trade many of the indices, which lead me to the Nikkei. Initially the...

We placed NZDUSD on our radar during yesterday's Live Room session and have been tracking it ever since. I apologize in advance, but the analysis that I did on this pair is somewhat advanced so I'm not going to attempt to duplicate what I shared with you in last night's Syndicate video. Honestly speaking it's a lot clearer on the 13 period range bar charts (as...

In yesterday's interview/webinar I got asked the question about my outlook on Bitcoin. At the time I responded by saying that all I see is consolidation and didn't have a real prediction to make. (Here's a link to the recorded webinar if you missed it www.youtube.com) As I look at the chart today, although we're still consolidating, the candlesticks are telling...

I wanted to hold this for my webinar with Tradingview today, but it looks like we're already starting to move so I'll give it a share as well. By the way if you haven't registered here's the link blog.tradingview.com Live Room members, if you remember last week we talked a lot about waiting for opportunities where the risk reward is heavily in our favor,...

Bullish Bat Pattern

Akil_Stokes Wizard

We've had a hell of a ride as of late on the AUDCAD. Through some difficult pattern trading weeks this pair has been the one keeping my head above water. We now have yet another Cypher pattern that just completed minutes ago. In all honestly, I'm fully expecting a loser on this one. Why? Well it's just the numbers. Even with the Cypher having a completion rate...

2 Potential gartley patterns setting up on Silver/U.S. Dollar

Flag patterns are one of the many simple patterns that I used to trade before I was a consistently profitable trader. Like many of the strategies that I used back then, I assumed that flags didn't work because i couldn't make profit off of them. After realizing that it was ME and not MY STRATEGY that had the problem, I find myself implementing a lot of what I used...

I got asked the other day about Bitcoin and what I thought about recent price action. When looking at the timeframe all that comes to mind is consolidation and bearish. As we've seen on the AUDCAD over the past few weeks (as it's nailed 4 straight cyphers) consolidation breeds patterns. I see 2 potential patterns here on BTCUSD the first being a bearish bat...

It's been a rough week for the Dollar and an expected slowdown in GDP this morning will most likely keep the ball rolling in that same direction. So SELL SELL SELL! Actually who am I kidding? I have no idea what's in store, and neither do you. By now you know how I feel about fundamentals and if you’ve consistently traded the markets over any period of time then...

Hey traders the NZDUSD has offered us an excellent 2618 opportunity and I wanted to take a minute to show you guys how I use the Fibonacci tools to break down a potential reversal zone and really dial in on where i want to place the trade at. Here's a link to a short video i did this morning on this pair. tradeempowered.com Akil Stokes Chief Currency Analyst...

Hey gang! A we've been waiting for some bigger moves on this pair for a while now but have seen nothing but sideways action. Fortunately for pattern traders sideways action isn't always a bad thing as consolidation breeds pattern opportunities. The pattern we have on this pair is going to be a bullish Gartley pattern completing down at the 1.9328s level. Minimum...

A lot going on here on the GBPJPY so instead of writing a long explanation (plus I need sleep) here's a video explaining just exactly what I'm looking at. www.youtube.com Akil Stokes

Coming off a pain free trade on this pair last night our once bearish Gartley pattern's next step could be to complete the C to D leg of a bullish Cypher. Again, EURAUD typically has a pretty large ATR so you want to double check you're risk profile on this one, but aside from that "The Pattern Is The Pattern Is The Pattern." Laid out on the chart are initial...
