I’ve been keeping an eye on GBPUSD in 2014 and wrote about the pair a few weeks back (which you can read here). In those pieces I talked about the cap that the Monthly 200 period Moving Average has presented around 1.6635. Price hit those levels…and then promptly sold off. Well after a nice sell […]

At the end of 2013 I was asked to create a simple, multi-asset, multi-time frame strategy that a relative new-comer could use and would also be good for trading both continuations and reversals. I developed the ‘Wallachi Fan’ which I’ve shared with a few clients and you’ll see the odd post about trades using this strategy.  My […]

last year was a pretty dull year for trading EURGBP (well by my methods anyway). However it’s a chart I watch closely. As someone who earns in Sterling but who pays in Euro I admit to having a serious interest in the dynamics of this pair. As mentioned last year was dull. After an early […]

Here’s a few of the charts I spoke about last night during the End of 2013 Review webinar that I conducted for ActivTrades.  It was a look back through the year and a look ahead at possible scenarios for 2014. Some of the themes I talked about for 2014 were: – “Abegeddon!” – Euro Deflation […]

I’ve written enough about this AUDCHF trade in recent posts however it finally came to an end on Wednesday when my Trailing Stop Loss was hit during the early afternoon. As predicted in my last post the move below the double bottom at 8650 turned into a stop-loss hunting trap and price  started to drift […]

“Jip Jaap Stam is a big Dutch-man, get past him if you think you can, try a trick and he’ll make you look a dick, Jip Jaap, Jaap Stam!” So they would sing on the Old Trafford terraces about their love for the strong, uncompromising dutch central defender (and one of my favourites): Jaap Stam […]

Quick update on this previous AUDCHF short trade. We’re on Day 20 of the trade. Price has still been heading south but after a couple of daily pin bars and a look at the 4 hour chart as well as some price action across the AUD in general I suspect this particular party is coming […]

A quick post on a trade that’s been running for approx 17 days now. I went Short AUDCHF back on the 16th May.  AUDCHF was in a STAM 1 Selling environment and when an entry was offered, I took it.  As can often be the case the trade, whilst positive was not going anywhere fast […]

It’s rare for me to have the time or inclination to trade below the 4 hour chart these days however I was lucky to be in the right time and the right place to be able to see this set-up on the FTSE 100 on Tuesday.  Why was I even looking? Well after the major […]

http://markettrader.tv/ Last week I was fortunate enough to spend the day in Mayfair at the Westbury Hotel (a lovely location if you’re ever in need of one!) The reason?  Myself and Malte Kaub from the Traders Leadership Council were delivering an all- day seminar for ActivTrades on ‘Blink! The power (and the pitfalls) of instantaneous decisions […]
