I’ve been in the City this week working from the floor of Saxo Bank in Canary Wharf.  Unfortunately by the the time I get there and set-up most of the good runs had already kicked off. I’ll write more about that in a later post. Anyway today (Friday) was the same, fears of contagion from Dubai […]

Monday morning and setting up for my day and week.  Of the four options for me from my morning Relative Strength Analysis I like the look of GBPCHF short. I liked the fact that there was CHF strength across the board and that there was a nice Descending triangle setting up. Also the lower line […]

Following from my late post last night the Aussie trade was executed this morning short at 0.9200 that big round number I was talking about. The MACD divergence and price conspired nicely in my favour to deliver the goods. I only needed a 20 pip stop loss and guess what……………………………I added to it half way […]

It’s been a fantastic trading day for the 3 amigos today, the trades of the day are everywhere. Trades on the Yen crosses have really done well today, GBPJPY has been a beauty for me today. The thing I have found with GBPJPY is that if you get your entry right it can really deliver […]

No intraday trading for me today, as I had a meeting in London. Left home at 0700 hrs but still had time to place a nice little set play of mine. Nice 5:1 reward risk ratio – it’s my secret weapon. I was gutted that I wasn’t going to be able to trade today, but […]

After yesterdays dull return this morning offered a veritable smorgasbord of opportunity.  Having done my Relative Strength Analysis I was looking to Buy Yen and Sell either GBP, EUR or CHF. Of those pairs the CHFJPY looked the best on my charts. (FXTrader Alan took the EURJPY).  What did I see?  Well there was a nice down trend, […]

Now I don’t trade the daily chart (don’t think I have the patience for it) however I always check it out for something obvious. From the beginning of November it has been pretty clear that there has been some massive divergence between what has been happening to price and the story being told by the […]
