ALTCOIN OF THE WEEK: XMRUSD 1H ASIA UPDATEEvery week, for one particular altcoin, in addition to the charts that I upload on TradingView, I will put the comments and trade setup for different time frames:
- Daily on Sunday,
- 4h once a day during Asia session and
- 1h twice a day in Asia (post US) and Europe sessions.
This week 15/04/2018-21/04/2018, I propose XMRUSD
XMRUSD 1H ASIA UPDATE - 20/04/2018
Monero is proposing some action this morning with break of 239.12 as expected. RSI divergence is intact. Expect to reach at least 243.48-247.80, possibly 254.78 or higher.
215.99 is soft support in lower time frame to complete the cycle from 188.15 low that is our invalidation level to the upside for now.
For those not long from lower, I would rather now wait for the pull back and would buy any pull back in corrective 3 waves and as per method. Looking forward to next week for more action.
Be on the right side of the market!

GBPJPY 1H - SWING TRADING STRATEGY THAT WORKSStep 1 Wait for the price to touch the Upper Bollinger Band
The first element we want to see for our simple trading strategy is that we need to see price moving into overbought territory. Any swing trading strategy that works should have this element incorporated.
Note The preferred time frame for this simple swing trading strategy is the 4h time frame, but the strategy can be used on the daily and weekly time frame as well.
Step 2 Wait for the price to Break below the Middle Bollinger Bands
After we touched the upper Bollinger Band , we want to see confirmation that we indeed are in overbought territory and the market is about to reverse. The logical filter, in this case, is to look after a break below the middle Bollinger Band .
This break below middle Bollinger Bands is a clear signal in the shift in market sentiment.
We at Trading Strategy Guides don’t trade breakouts without disseminating weather or that there are real buyer/sellers – in our case, sellers – behind the breakout which brings to the next step of our simple swing trading strategy.
Step 3 Swing Trading Indicator: The Breakout Candle needs to be a Big Bold Candle that closes near the Low Range of the Candlestick. Sell at the Close of the Breakout Candle
So far our favorite swing trading indicator has correctly predicted this sell-off, but we’re going to use a very simple candlestick based method for our entry trigger. In this regard, we want to see a big bold bearish candle that breaks below the middle Bollinger Band .
The second element of this candlestick based method is that we need the breakout candle to close near the low range of the candlestick . This is indicative of strong sellers, which really want to drive this currency pair much lower.
Step 4 We hide our Protective Stop Loss above the Breakout Candle
The breakout candle has a lot of significance because we’ve used it in our candlestick based entry method. We assumed that this candle shows the presence of real sellers in the market. If the high of this candle were to be broken, it’s clear enough that this is simply a fake breakout as there are no real sellers.
Step 5 Take Profit once we break and close back below the middle Bollinger Bands or with a 3 to 1 risk ratio.
In this particular case we’re looking at a short trading example. So, if the price breaks back above the middle Bollinger Banks it’s time to get worried and take our profits as it can signal a reversal or if our 3 to 1 risk ratio has hit.
The reason why we get profit here is quite easy to understand as we want to book the profits at the early sign the market is ready to roll over.
Note The above was an example of a SELL trade. Use the same rules – but in reverse – for a BUY trade.

XMRUSD 1H EUROPE UPDATE - 19/04/2018
Monero is struggling in the final phase. 215.99 is a soft support and price can go lower from current level without changing the view. As long as the cycle is alive, I expect a new high.
I would not chase here and I don't like to sell either green 3. Cycle in 4h is already mature in a corrective 3 waves structure that already reached equal leg area.
So ideally, green 3 would be above 261.84 to give conviction for a motive 5 waves from the 159.97 low.

XMRUSD 1H ASIA UPDATE - 19/04/2018
Monero started a new cycle from 188.15 low in the form of 3 sequences for now. Cycle from 07/04/2018 is already mature and can end anytime. The push to 239.12 is also in a 3 waves so I need to see a new high with RSI divergence to ensure that sequence from 215.99 low is a 5th wave (red -5-). Break below 215.99 low would signal the sequence from 188.15 is completed and therefore cycle from 07/04/2018 low as well and bears would have the upper hand again.
So, the plan is to wait for the cycle to end with RSI divergence to confirm motive 5 waves and the I will buy lower, OR be sidelined and see what the price is doing in coming session.
I would not sell monero here.
I remind that in a motive 5 waves there is no bullish/bearish sequence anymore after wave 3 is completed so when you want to buy the 4th wave there is no support except the extension Fib levels (not retracement) so I will never chase this one (the 5th is where smart money is already gone)

GBP : SELLTRADE PARAMETERS
Pick Date : 03/22/18
Entry : 1.4300
Stop : 1.4325
Target : 1.3900
TRADE STRATEGY
Income Type : Swing
ENTRY
1.4300 is an un-tested 1H supply zone outside of the range. Will be doing a set and forget limit order. Price will need to have a strong move into the zone.
STOP
1.4325 is 25 PIPs right outside of the high for some protection. When I trade GBP I usually have a wider stop but will position size accordingly.
TARGET
1.3900 is 400 PIPs down in a daily demand area with several 4H demand zone nested. Price will struggle to break the first test.
Next quick BTC / EUR "analysis"I don't really follow all technical analysis methos.
How I do my predictions is based mostly on psychology. Patterns that look like they would repeat - but go the other way around just to form nice traps. And such.
I do my chart analysis based on how I feel what could be right and so far I have been correct quite a few times. Not always being like 1min chart correct, but I'm okay with it.
Enjoy my next prediction and take care of your money!
If I am correct here, the following hours could get very very hard to do highly profitable trades with. I only see small buy & sell space to trade with in this longer drop scenario.
Oh and by the way: My bear avatar doesn't mean I am always bearish. I'm bear / bull whatever the direction the charts go.
Feel free to paste in your chart predictions in the comments!
PS: Why is there no "psychology" category in the dropdown menu
Approach the 1H OBV line??? Time to Change!Hello everyone this is my idea on Changing from LTCUSD to BTCUSD and vice versa that has been very profitable in this short term downtrend. In full disclosure I will personally probably not be trading this idea because there is a risk with it. The reason I say this is because if this OBV line breaks upward, LTCUSD is gonna run hard against BTCUSD and if you look at my other idea: you will see why I am not interested in taking the risk.
But for now it is quite profitable and it has clearly worked the last few times it has happened.
The basic idea is that as the OBV approaches my line, it is time to change your LTCUSD to BTCUSD, as it gets a large gap then it is time to change your BTCUSD back to LTCUSD. Pretty simple and highly profitable. As of right now, the trend says to change back to LTCUSD!
Best of luck traders!
