Master the Simple Inside Bar Pattern hey guys, on WTI we have a perfect example of Inside Bar candlestick pattern on a daily chart. An inside bar is a series of bars or sometimes just one bar that is contained within the range of the preceding bar (mother bar). The first rule that we should take into account is that inside bars must have a higher low and lower high than the mother bar. The second rule is that we trade this pattern only after bearish or bullish breakout of a mother bar trading range. The logic behind inside bar is simple. It indicates a time of indecision and market consolidation. Inside bars typically occur as a market consolidates after making a large directional move (bearish on WTI), you also can see this pattern at key decision points like major support or resistance levels. For WTI our plan is to wait until a violation of a trading range. Remember that the candle MUST close below or above the range before we take any action!

US Oil: A big challengeUS Oil presents some serious challenges for those looking to short this market. This analysis is time frame dependent. Which way you might want to go depends entirely on trends in respective time frames. DAILY PICTURE 1. On the daily time frame this is very much a bull market. We can see that in the ATR (amber trendline) and the green Guppy investor zone. 2. On the daily price has made a temporary retreat to near ATR support, in a parabolic limb of the curve. 3. If anything this is usually a place to go long (on this time frame). 4H - FOUR HOURLY PICTURE 1. There is an early trend switch for the south. 2. This is seen on the ATR and SQM (Squeeze momentum). 3. But it isn't as yet a Grade A or Grade B switch. DECISION-MAKING (Speculative issues) 1. Finding appropriate entry point on a chosen time frame. 2. For a limited hit going long (north) on the 4H, taking a reasonable stop loss and taking only about a 26 or 38.2 Fib retracement of the most recent daily candle. 3. For a limited hit going short (south) on the 4H, a larger stop-loss is required. 4. Possibly going long on the daily and hold out. As usual before starting any trade on any time frame common things need to be decided: 1. Time frame one will stick to (1D, 4H or something else). 2. Entry position. 3. Stop-loss. 4. Exit position. Stop-losses on 4H and less need to cater for short spikes in price. So simply saying 2.5 times ATR may not be enough. Based on experience only of US Oil, I can expect a recoil up on the 4H but of course, I can't predict how much. As mentioned above I can expect at least a 26% Fib on the length of the last daily candle. Expectation is not prediction. Declaration : This post is for educational purposes only. Nothing here is intended as advice. Your losses are your own should you still construe this as advice, act on it, and lose money.

USOIL headed downWeekly chart shows price nearing the apex of the ascending wedge with a target of $45. RSI is hitting resistance and MACD's histogram is possibly printing hidden bearish divergence. H4 chart shows RSI, and possibly MACD, printing bearish divergence. The nearby demand has already been tapped once making it much easier for the next drop into it to potentially fall further. I would watch for the demand below that at around $55 to provide some support. It also aligns with the ascending channel's support. If that support cannot hold then, based on the height of the ascending channel, we should be looking at $49.70/$50 for the next likely support. That target is a mere $5 away from the weekly breakdown target.

take a look at how a pin bar can indicate a possible downtrendIn the chart above, we have a bullish pin bar that formed on the USDJPY weekly chart. .This pin bar formed at a previous resistance level, which is now acting as support. This price action signal tells us that the market is likely to see higher ground in the weeks ahead. "BUT" instead of trading the weekly time frame, we can move to the daily chart and watch for bullish price action.

Correlation Trading EUR/USD/ DAX/ OIL/ GOLDHey guys, after a time of inactivity I"m back. Today I show you how you can trade EUR/USD with the help of correlations. You can see in the chart positive correlations and negative correlations. Be careful the arrows on the chart are no trend direction. If for example Oil change its direction the trend direction is turned. But be careful with long term-trends and short- therm trend. Always be aware of your timeframe. (4h is short therm trading) Hope I could be informative for you guys

Pattern Analysis; incorporating timeframes (USOIL)Understanding trends within a pattern gives analysts the ability to better understand sentiment and directional pressure. In this example, pattern extremities were highlighted. Then, on a lower timeframe, trends within said pattern drawn. Overlaying timeframes is a necessary part of a complete analysis, and a complete commodity analysis can help piece together economic factors affecting commodity-sensitive currencies such as CAD and AUD.

Correlation Coefficient + CCIPictured above is a graph of Royal Dutch Shell vs brent crude, the correlation coefficient between them, and the commodity channel index tracking the volume weighted moving average of Shell. I tested this indicator on a few energy stocks: RDS, MRO, BP and XOM. Negative correlation between brent crude and an energy stock coupled with an overbought CCI seems to give an indication of price reversal. Here we see two overbought CCI readings coupled with negative correlation, both followed by massive drops in the price of BCO and RDS. Likewise we see negative correlation coupled with upward CCI readings pointing to massive price rises in RDS. Seems to work on daily time frame as well but indicator length will need to be tweaked accordingly. Correlation coefficient going negative is an indication of pricing inefficiency and momentum potential, but does not give us an indication of price direction. The commodity channel index can give us a sense of where price momentum is pointed. Both put together give us a powerful indicator capable of foreshadowing both momentum and direction.

OIL - The Key Indicator to an Imminent Global RecessionEverything is linked to the price of oil. Our food, our phones, our computers, our clean water, our electricity, everything we use each day is dependant on oil. If oil prices were to pump due to a new peak (which is inevitable), the price of everything will climb. As a result, it will reach a point where we can't afford to consume the same amount of things, slowing down our industrial activity. 2008 was a crisis, meaning our governments managed to fix the issue on the short term. However, during that period, food industries were struggling, and famines happened in several countries. To solve this problem, they had no other choice than shutting down the price of oil to restart the machine. In 2014, thanks to our advanced technique of extraction, global production exceeded demand, and the price fell by itself. However cheap oil is becoming rarer and demand is not decreasing. We will see price climbing slowly at first, and like an exponential curve, will be able to very quickly climb up to new highs, and who knows what will happen then? How long are we going to be able to answer the demand that seems to be in a no-limit growth?

#EURNOK and #UKBRENT #UKOIL CorrelationWhen we look at correlations in charting, we sometimes see certain #FX pairs are correlated to a #commodity or #index, in this instance I am giving you an example of #EURNOK vs #UKOIL #BRENT. These charts can help you make distinctions in the trend of the commodity, so when we see a #bullish EURNOK, you want to be looking a trades that are bearish Brent/UKOil, again this is not tick for tick, so, you will use confirmation like trendlines, underlying fundamentals etc. But you can clearly see the correlations. I suggest you try this with other markets, like #USDNOK #WTI #USDJPY #NIKKEI #SPX #10YR

It helps in providing the information regarding open, close, low and high in the dimensional format. It can be seen that the vertical axis of the chart helps in providing information on the prices of the FOREX whereas the horizontal axis represents the time period. The white candles are the representation of the advances of the currency and the black candles, on the other hand, represents the decline in the value of the FOREX. Moreover, the body denotes the thick portion of the candle, and the vertical line represents the wick. This chart helps the investor to forecast the future price movement of the FOREX. b) Charting systems In the mind of a few people, charts are the exemplary image of the trader’s speciality.

Elements of a Successful Trading Plan 102SELF DEVELOPMENT/METHODOLOGY/PSYCHOLOGY Elements of a Successful Trading Plan 102 2. Risk Level Managing a risk in trading is essential if a person wishes to make profitable investments. As a trader, one cannot control the market but he/ she do have the capacity to change what can be done as circumstances require. They need to adapt the changes as the market conditions evolve. A person does not take a position and hopes the market acts in your favour. Managing trading risk will be a key factor in an individual’s long term success as a trader. As the market, structure changes, the risk profile of trade will also change. Risk will vary at different points of a trade and needs to be managed in a manner, which is consistent with the individual style of each trader. This will be dependent on each trader’s personality and time frame. Assessing market conditions can be categorised into core areas where one need to consider the risk profile in his/ her trade. This risk needs to be assessed also in line with your trading objectives. Active traders will tend to add and take off risk for each new swing in the market, whilst passive investors will ride minor retracements looking to achieve larger reward targets. Following are some areas where risk can be managed throughout a trade as well as what to look out for at these points that indicate that the risk is increasing; • At Entry: Stop loss risk. • Distance from Moving Average: Price exhaustion risk. • “M” Pattern: Price retest failure risk. • Candlestick Tails and Shadows: Price rejection risk. • Period Close: Price rejection risk. • Reducing Range: Trend momentum risk. • Support or Resistance: Price level failure risk. It is necessary that how an individual plan to address the risk management needs to be included as a critical part of the trading plan in order to protect the invested capital and preserve the profits. One need to have strategies in place for how he will deal with the different areas throughout a trade and how he will know when risk is increasing to a point where action needs to be taken either to protect profits or capital. Follow your trading plan, Remain disciplined and keep learning :) More elements will follow... Like, share, Comment and follow us to keep updated on our professional trading ideas and education :)

A 3 Day Trend IndicatorA 3 day chart is very useful in terms of being able to see a major trend reversal. It eliminates the noise of daily or lower timeframe charts and shows the change in trend faster than the higher timeframes such as the weekly and monthly. Keep track of the candles and look for a higher high and higher low candle for the first signal. The USOIL chart above shows a sequence of 3 day candles that have lower lows and lower highs for the past 8 or more candles, clearly showing that the major trend is down. Short risk on oil is out of the question as long as there's no higher high and higher low 3 day candle. As soon as there's one, at least a minor change in trend can be anticipated and traders are likely to switch to short risk.
