7/03/2014: Nikkei – +420 – Always have your stops in place!

March 11, 2014

This is a late write-up due to being overtaken by events. The nature of the trade is that it was a WallachieFan UTB123 Long trade on the Daily Nikkei chart. These trades are just short-term momentum plays. Think of them as a boxers jab rather than a knock-out blow. This trade triggered and hit target […]

It’s rare for me to a) trade on Fridays and b) trade on the last day of the month. However I just happened to be in the right place at the right time today for a short on the S&P500. What gave me confidence to pull the trigger was that there was a short signal […]

January 27, 2014

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 […]

I’ve been saying for a while now that I was shorting Global Indices based upon my analysis of the charts and using various vehicles (CFDs, Spread-Betting, DMA & Binaries) to access the market and build positions in line with my view.  I wrote about how at the start of the month I was stopped out […]

Just a quick post on a Binary position that I took recently on the S&P.  I had forgotten about it because I didn’t expect it to move so quickly to target!  I took the position back on the 4th May (position 1 on the chart) after price broke down strongly and broke a weekly trend […]

I had another 2 Binary positions close yesterday.  Both on the NASDAQ.  As always lets cut straight to the chart. NASDAQ – WEEKLY The NASDAQ has been on a bullish tear north for the first 13 weeks of 2012.  It was simply unstoppable and trying to short it would have been futile (not that I […]

Hey traders, Most of you know that I’m primarily an FX Trader however for the last 8 months I’ve increasingly been trading the major Indices (S&P, DJ30, DAX & FTSE).  For some reason my price action strategies have been generating  nice signals, trades and results so who am I to argue? Anyway here’s a video […]
