Good morning all,
so September really was pretty devoid of many decent trading opportunities where how I trade is concerned, but once again I ended the month in profit and that's largely because I value my capital and the longevity of my trading career too much to be jumping into average trades when the market doesn't provide anything which I know from my testing gives me a clear edge over the market. Yes, the market always makes opportunities available. In fact almost every morning I spot opportunities which might play out, but not ones (to reiterate the point) which give me a clear edge over the market and the latter is all I'm interested in. Basically if I have to think for more than a couple of seconds about whether a setup gives me my "edge" or not, meaning that the investment opportunity hasn't "smacked me in the face" then I simply move on to the next pair and I look for my edge there.
Remember! Success is not found in trading every opportunity you can find, most of the people who blow trading accounts are doing that. It's found in showing up, waiting patiently until a setup which meets your plan materialises and then simply executing accordingly and this is something that I intend to do until the end of time.
With the above in mind listed below is what I'll be looking for from the market this morning as always for your viewing, tonight I'll be selecting my 'Top 6' pairs and my 'Wildcards' for next week, tomorrow morning I'll be creating my Monday Forecast and then on Monday as always I will bring you that forecast.
Have a great day and a great weekend!
SOYBN/USD:
• If price pushes up, it does so impulsively a subsequent tight one hour flag forms, then I'll be looking to get long with either a reduced risk entry on the break of the flag or a risk entry within it.
• 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.
EUR/USD:
• If price pushes down to and ideally just below the lower trend line of our most recent piece of structure and the last part of the move is corrective, then I'll be looking to get long with a risk entry either after a phase line break, or just above a one hour or a fifteen minute rejection from it.
• If price pushes down to and ideally just below the lower trend line of our most recent piece of structure and it does so impulsively, then I'll be waiting for a convincing impulse back up followed by a tight flag and then I'll be looking to get long with either a reduced risk entry on the break of the flag or a risk entry within it.
• 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.
