Learning to scalp the London market open in any time frame takes practice. You need a solid strategy that you have back-tested thoroughly before testing on a live market. Using this 15-minute scalping strategy requires the same testing and patience. A resistance zone has formed around the 1.88 price point. This resistance zone was formed during the Asian trading...

Today we are trading the DAX 40 (DE40) on the 15-minute time frame. We are using the scalping breakout London session strategy. We can see that an hour before the London market opened we had our break-out candle which took out the previous points of support set during the Asian Market session. I have put a green box around the break-out candle. This impulsive...

Today we are looking at trading EUR/USD on the 4-hour chart. We have a potential Order block setup at play. The daily time frame is still bearish but on the 4-hour chart, we may be able to start looking for some reasons to go long. Before I get to the long order block entry, notice the short order block entry. Price spiked right into the zone and fell directly...

Looking at trading the Dax 40 using Bollinger bands, fib retracement levels, and engulfing candles. The Dax is currently sitting on a crucial daily support zone. Most assets across the financial market spectrum are all breaking crucial support levels. This is why I am not choosing to jump into any positions for the time being. These levels are a bit dangerous and...

EUR/USD has been bouncing between support and resistance for a month. On the 4-hour chart, we can see the price bounce perfectly between these two zones. The support zone - 0.99 The resistance zone – 1.005 We have a nice order block at the bottom of the support zone. I have highlighted this zone in orange. We take the most previous bearish candle before an...

Yesterday we saw a massive selloff across the entire financial market spectrum due to fundamentals. On EUR/USD, we had that massive daily descending trend line coming up and who would have thought that it would have held perfectly? It wicked into that trend line and then sold off and now we find ourselves back inside of the range that we have been in since late...

Let's have a look at the Dow Jones on the 4-hour chart. I am looking at trading this potential double bottom. We have the Bollinger bands on and I have highlighted a zone of support/resistance in yellow. We can call this zone the neckline. This zone has been flipped from support to resistance and back to support many times in the past. Currently, we are sitting...

I have been testing out a new strategy using the Bollinger bands, fib retracements, and fib extensions on the 4-hour chart for the DAX.

I see a possible Order block short setup on EUR/USD in the 4-Hour Chart. Last week, I suggested that the major 4-hour support has been tapped multiple times. We were speaking about how lines of support eventually break if the price keeps tapping the same price point. Well, we have seen a breakthrough. Now, we need to be careful of false breakouts. We have a...

Looking at Trading a possible falling wedge and double bottom on AUD/USD today in the 4-hour chart. My bias is still in fact, bearish. Prices are still moving lower and on the Daily chart, we can see we have a nice gap where prices can still fall right down to the 0,668 price level. So, looking for longs right now is all very well and good, however, we have to be...

I am looking at a possible double bottom formation on the DAX40 on the 4-hour chart. We have seen nothing but bearish price action since we hit the daily resistance level around the 1395 price point on the 17th of August. Since then we have been making lower lows and lower highs, forming a descending trend line. We have tested this descending trend line...

Today I am trading a possible Order block setup on EUR/USD in the 4-Hour time frame. Looking left, we can see that we had 4 wicks touching the previous support level. We then had a candle push through and close below that level. This setup is very similar to yesterday's post on AUD/USD. The same rules for the position have been met. I looked for the most...

Today I am trading a possible Order block setup on AUD/USD in the 4-Hour Chart. Looking left, we can see that this major support level has been broken. This support level has been held since July and only was broken yesterday. We saw the price close below this level clearly showing a break in this level. I looked for the most recent bullish candle before the...

We have an Order block on GBP/USD in the 4-Hour Chart. If we look at the daily chart, we can see the bears have been in full control for most of 2022. Today we have broken through a daily support setback in the middle of July. Fundamental news pushed the price further down at the end of last week. So, establishing our higher time frame bias as bearish, we now...

Looking at trading EUR/USD today. We have a potential double bottom formation on the 4-hour chart. Remember, we are currently at major major support levels. The fact that the euro is less than one to one with the dollar is incredibly unsettling. So, we know that we have a major fight currently happening between the bears and the bulls. I have highlighted the...

Today we are looking at GBP/USD on the 1-Hour chart. We have a potential bull flag set up. Now, this is very important, this is a counter-trend setup. On the 4-hour and daily charts, the price is still incredibly bearish. We have touched a major support zone on the daily time frame so looking for some bullish setups is perfectly reasonable, however, we have to...
