CAD JPY 64 PIPS - NEVER MONITOR YOUR TRADE!

DaddyPapi Actualizado 14 Mar en #Trader's blog #Resistance #Consolidation #Pennant #CAD JPY #Double Tops

This trade took advantage of the Double Top Signal on the 4 Hour Chart that told us that the pair was going to be headed lower over the next 24 Hours. It also appeared to be forming a Consolidation Setup, based on the nature of the previous Uptrend and the sudden and aggressive Trend Change Signal in the form of these Double Tops.
Below you can see an example of the waves that generally indicate that a Consolidation is being formed. These will either lead to the formation of a Pennant or a Range…

IS A 28% MONTHLY RETURN ENOUGH FOR SUCCESS IN FOREX?

DaddyPapi Publicado 1 Ene en #Trader's blog #Forex #Currency Trading #Trading Contest #Trading Strategy #Methodology #Rate Of Return

For the month of December 2017, I "only" managed to earn a 28% Rate of Return in the Trader Contest, placing just 132 overall in the Standings. Clearly this was not enough to place in the Top 10 especially with a total of "just" 155 Pips. However, despite this performance which was not enough for this competition, is it still enough of a return to be successful in Forex on a Live Account? I believe so.
The Video below summarizes my performance for the month, along with a description of the last …

FAST 137 PIPS IN JUST 2 DAYS ON GBP CHF

DaddyPapi Publicado 13 Sep en #Trader's blog #Pips #Support #Resistance #Swing Trading #GBP CHF #Consolidation Resistance #Abc Signals

TRADE RESULT
This trade took advantage of the ABC Signal at Support of the Pennant on the Daily Chart, to signal the start of the rally to Resistance. Once the Signal was identified as being strong enough, entry then took place on the 4 Hour Chart. After just a day and a half, the trade provided a gain of 137 Pips.
SWING TRADING STRATEGY
The result reflected the use of the Weekly Range Trading Strategy where I target the 100 to 200 Pip Moves of the market. This is done using Candlestick Signals …

162 PIP TRADE AS NZD CAD HEADED BACK TO SUPPORT

DaddyPapi Publicado 18 Jul en #Trader's blog #Support #Consolidation #Stop Loss #NZD CAD #Resistance Levels #Bearish Candlestick Formation #Break Of Trend Line #Double Tops

This trade was another Consolidation Setup where the pair gave a Double Top Formation to complete the Resistance Boundary and start a Bearish Move. This would lead to a break of the Uptrend Line to confirm the start of the move down to Support.
DAILY CHART
To take advantage of this, I then went down to the 4H Chart. I spotted the downtrend line formed as well as the High of Resistance of an Evening Star Bearish Signal and used that area for my Stop Loss. These 2 on their own are good Stop Loss a…

47 PIPS ON AUD NZD BREAKOUT

DaddyPapi Publicado 18 Jul en #Trader's blog #Pips #Support #Resistance #Consolidation #Pennant #AUD NZD

Hey Traders how goes it?
This trade took advantage of recent bullish momentum in favour of the Aussie over the last 48 Hours.
Consolidation Setups are very common across the Forex Market and they generally represent instances of uncertainty about the Medium to Long-Term Outlook for the Pair. The Larger the Setup, the greater the news impact that is needed to start a breakout in favour of one of the currencies. This could be a Jobs Number, Trade Balance, Interest Rate/Central Bank Decision or the…

GBP CAD Shows Importance of Having a Holding Period Rule

DaddyPapi Publicado 5 Nov en #Trader's blog #Support #Consolidation #Swing Trading #Trading Rules #Sharp Reversals #Holding Period Rule #Trading Targets

One of the most common traps that we fall into as traders is that of holding out for more Pips than we should on a trade. This can provide us with additional Pips at times but in most cases, the market will reverse sharply to quickly erase our trading gains in the blink of an eye.
This is why it is important to incorporate a rule as to how long you are going to hold on to a trade before closing it, regardless of whether it has hit your original target.
The GBP CAD trade provided a great example …

102 Pip Gain Trading Within Consolidation

DaddyPapi Publicado 4 Nov en #Trader's blog #Consolidation #Swing Trading #GBP CAD #4 Hour Chart #Resistance And Support

This trade took advantage of the movement within the Range Setup on the 4 Hour Chart of the 4 Hour Chart. Entry took place just below Resistance with the Stop Loss placed comfortably above it. Target of 160 Pips was initially set at Support, but I exited for a 102 Pip Gain instead as the market had not yet hit my target at the end of the established Holding Period.
These are the types of trades we can make until the market breakouts from the Consolidation at Support or Resistance.
