Hello traders! Hope everyone is having a profitable week. I have published my idea few months ago about how the bulls were returning to euraud.

One of the strongest setups are the ones that are being formed by the dual time frame momentum. By using multiple time frames you will be able to create a high probability setup. Key rule is: Large/High time frame for trend and Small/Low time frame for your entry. Personally I mostly I like to hold short term positions, so I use the daily time frame for the trend...
The line graph is EUR/USD & Candles USD/CHF This is a common pair that traders say is inversely correlated... Is there correlation between economies? Is it because of USD's part? Will correlation make you the good R/R trades or structure? Is there a way to trade the correlation (if any) effectively? Draw your own conclusions & have a good weekend!
I had not clue about this chart. So, I was laying back, squeezed my eyes and let it shine on me (...nope, not smoked anything hehe...). Then it comes together, peace by peace. Here's how I approach any new analysis. - Swings & Pivots - Identify the trend and the flow - some support & resistance - action/reaction & forks - patterns...as far as I can see them...
Drawdowns on your account are part of trading but if you establish a trading plan then it will enable you to survive these losses and not wipe out your account.

DXY and S&P move together on bullish times which means there is a strong demand on US Dollar to make profit from raising american market. The profit is double: growth of the stocks index and a convertion back from the USD to your own currency which, by that...
There are so many reasons why 90% of retail traders fail. One of the main reasons is because retail traders over trade. They fear missing an opportunity and because of this they think there is always an opportunity when in reality there isn't. As traders, it is our job to find high probable setups. Probable setups are limited though... so you need to have...
Waves 2 and 4 within an Impulsive wave will unfold in different forms: if wave 2 is a simple ABC form ( zigzag), the 4th wave is likely to be a complex wave (triangle, double three etc.)
"Running correction usually elliott wave 2 or 4 Strong impulse move should follow."
STAGE 1: THE BULLISH IMPULSE LEG A bullish impulse leg is a strong move in price action to the upside. The impulse leg can be a mixture of bullish and bearish candles, but must have a bullish overall direction. The start of the impulse leg should be marked as X and the top of the impulse leg should be marked as A. STAGE 2: B LEG RETRACEMENT Now that...
Friends, A with lessons and demonstrations offered over the past 24 hours (See $USDTRY, $NZDJPY, ... etc), here is another pair worth looking into, not so much from the perspective of a pending geometric completion, but as an example of developing a contingency plan. Here, we are contemplating a short (green scare representing a conservative, prudent...
What is the Bund? The Bund is the German 10-Year Treasury bill, also known as a government bond. A holder of a bond is a creditor, and the issuer of a bond is called a borrower or debtor. When the price of the Bund increases, the yield received on that bond decreases and vice versa. What is the relationship between Bund and EURUSD? Why is this relationship...
Here on the GBPUSD im getting closer to my short orders being filled and the butterfly pattern completing. stops for me go just above the 1.414 ext and target is the .382 retrace of the A to D-leg. Butterfly rules: 1= Atleast a .786 retrace of the X to A- leg but cannot break X. 2= Atleast a .382 retrace of the A to B-leg and can go past .382 just cannot break...
I hope it helps those like me who have trouble finding the balance in analyzing these ratios. This ratios are mostly suggested from tradeempowered professionals. (at least supposed)

It's not a trading idea, more of a a history lesson :-) Today while browsing the web I stumbled upon a well known story how Soros and his friends heavily shorted the Pound in 1992 and forced the government into surrender, pocketing more than a billion USD of gains. For the British Pound, this can largely be viewed as a black swan event - however, if we look at...
