Coming off a massive week in the Syndicate it’s somewhat refreshing to have only taken a single trade this week. Well two if you count the AUDUSD Bull bat that just filled a few hours ago (60min). Either way a slow week often means that there are a lot of potential patterns going through there setup legs and the EURUSD is a prime example. Three potential...
I had a request from a friend to analyze USD/TRY: On daily perspective I saw a nice classical Elliot Wave with double zigzag till point E correction waves. Before starting the analyze I want you to eliminate the harmonic pattern that I draw there; First we start with trends and the potential of opening trade. PA (Price Action) creates trend and trends give us...
Last week i mentioned that I took a "Bad Trade" In this video I walk through my analysis of the pair and the reasons that the trade was not executed properly in hopes that you guys can learn from my mistake. www.youtube.com Akil Stokes Chief Currency Trader www.tradeEmpowered.com
As mentioned in this week’s video (link below), the Euro has been a great pair for me over the past month or so and has helped me greatly in finally breaking my September Curse. As price action breaks to the upside I’m preparing for my next short in the form of a potential bearish Bat Pattern. The patterns prior to the bat setup are all described in the video...
Last night I shot out a video to some traders looking at this opportunity to take a short on EURAUD. The trading idea was based off of a read of price action and a prediction of a continuation of the short-term trend. The idea was to wait for price action to reach that level of resistance and see if we could get some type of confirmation of a hold. (Double...
I’ll tell you what trader’s, there’s nothing more exciting than a pain free trade and nothing more nerve racking then needing to put entries right back on but in the opposite direction. That’s the situation that we have here on the USDJPY 1 Hour timeframe. Yesterday we had a bearish Cypher pattern roll over to smash targets (hopefully TGT 2 gets clipped) and now...
It's a busy Monday in the Markets as we're seeing a lot of corrections from last week's major news event. I've got a lot on my radar including potential longs on GBPJPY & AUDUSD. As well as a few potential shorts on GBPJPY & USDJPY. In fact the USDJPY may be filled already on a bearish Cypher . Speaking of Cyphers we have a potential bullish Cypher here on the...
Two trades on my radar this morning a potential bullish gartley pattern on the USDJPY & a potential bullish bat pattern shown here on the USDCAD. I wanted to share this one with you because it does a better job of following up on this week’s theme of combining patterns with the overall ebbs & flows of price action. If you remember, yesterday’s video covered that...
With the FOMC Statement/ Interest Rate decision coming later today, I have no intentions of having any exposure in the market. If you're like me and plan on sitting on your hands until the dust has settled then feel free to kill some time by watching my latest Forex Weekend Review video. It's a little on the long side but in this week's video I walk you through...
A lot of my radar today going around my trading portfolio including the EURUSD. After being stopped out for a loss on yesterday’s bullish Bat pattern, we re-did our IPDE process and started making predictions for our next opportunities. I still don’t see a structure level that I’m a fan of on this pair that is until/unless we get down to the 1.1000 area, but the...
Following up on yesterday’s EURUSD analysis, the market reached my killzone and we saw a slight bullish bounce as previous resistance turned into support. We have now made our way back down into that zone, but this time the ebbs and flows of price action have set up a potential advanced pattern in the form of a bullish bat. If you’re a Syndicate member, check...
As price action makes its way back up towards previous structure highs, we’ll reach what I like to call a “decision point” in the market. I call it that because it’s at this point where our “IF/THEN” thought process comes in today play in our decision of whether to go long or short. Because we have yet to break structure, I won’t touch on the long option, but...
Today should be a very important day for the EURUSD as we have both CPI and FOMC Meeting minutes coming out for the USD at 8:30am & 2:00pm (NY) respectively. Like many pairs as of late the Euro is currently at a spot right between structure levels where I have neither buying or selling interest. Hopefully today’s releases will push price action to either support...
As you can see, lots of potential action here on the GBPJPY following our Rising Wedge from earlier in the week. Yesterday I recorded a video talking about this rising wedge as well as a MUST own trading book, so make sure you head over to my Youtube page and check if you if you haven’t already “A Trading Book Must Own & Trading Simple Patterns”...
Hey guys, we've been watching this potential setup for a while & price action is finally in striking distance of you D point completion. Therefore I wanted to repost this chart just as a heads up. Keep an eye out for the *ADP Number at 8:15 Eastern. I'm heading out of town so there will be no more post from me this week, however I did leave you guys a short...
I’m looking at a rising wedge type of pattern forming here on the USDJPY that is working it’s way toward a pretty significant level of structure (look left). We typically see a breakout to the downside with this type of setup as it represents the market losing steam after a high volume move. I’ll be looking for short opportunities on this pair in the Live Trading...
Here on the EURJPY we have a potential 2618 setup in the works. I say potential because I have no clue what the future of this current leg is, all I can do is Identify, Predict, Decide & then Execute. Here’s a link where you can take the FREE training on this particular strategy (tradeempowered.com ) but essentially, what I’m looking at is a double bottom...
Not a lot on my radar this morning which is perfect seeing how Monday’s are typically days where I let the markets wake up after the weekend. One pair that I’ve been continuing to watch closely has been the EURUSD which has provided a lot of opportunity over the past month or so. The chart before you shows a potential bullish Gartley pattern completing extremely...
