EURUSD: Daily Bearish Bat Pattern Setting Up I initially thought that Thursday & Friday would be our breakout days this week but it looks like the party has started a little early. Setting up on the EURUSD daily chart we have a potential bearish bat pattern completion up at the 1.1393-1.1500 level. I'm not a daily chart trader, but i will be looking intraday for an opportunity to hop on a retracement and see if I can ride the wave up to this level. It's Thursday so makes sure that you're subscribed to my youtube page as you don't want to miss today's video release. We'll see how the day goes but we may be talking about this trade in more detail.

EURJPY: Double Top Follow Up & TCT Opportunity Earlier in the week we looked at a short opportunity on the EURJPY. After a period of sideways movement the market have finally moved in our direction and is slowly inching towards targets. More importantly stops have now been rolled from an area that offered 100 pips of Risk, to the new worst case scenario being 85 pips of profits. (GREAT FEELING WHEN YOU KNOW THAT IT'S A PROFITABLE TRADE NO MATTER WHAT) In the Live Room today we'll be looking at a potential move back into our previous outside return which would give Trend Continuation/Following traders a chance to get involved in the final part of this short. 129.60's looks to be a decent level to expect some profit taking and some bullish pressure.

EURJPY: Counter Trend & Trend Continuation Opportunities of 1HRAfter being stuck at the "D" completion point of a daily Bat pattern completion we've finally seen a break to the upside on this pair. We've not run into higher time frame (HTF) structure and I wouldn't be surprised if we saw some relief in price action. This trade setups offers something for both counter trend and trend continuation traders. For the counter trend trader, "look left structure leaves clues" We also have bearish divergence between price action and the RSI. For the trend continuation trader we currently have Fibonacci ratio confluence lining up in our potential reversal zone (or as my Live Trading Room members like to call it our "A-Kill Zone") It's THURSDAY so that means that my WEEKLY FOREX TRADING video will be out today. If you're not a subscriber make sure you head over to my youtube channel and do so. I don't have a fancy title yet but I'll be talking about a report that was conducted a few years ago giving statistical proof on WHY TRADERS FAIL. Good luck out there today and do me a favor.

USDCAD: The Type of Consolidation Patterns I LikeI want to start things off by saying I don't expect to see much action at all in the markets today ahead of this afternoons FOMC statement. However, I did want to follow up on the USDCAD idea that I shared with you yesterday. After creating a NSL we are now retracing back into previous structure. I often explain to the traders I work with that I'm not a consolidation pattern trader (think flags, pennants, triangles, etc.) unless they occur inline with underlying analysis. In this situation my analysis was looking short and the consolidation pattern happens to come into previous structure, so this is one that I would actually interest me. Thanks for all of you that joined me on Youtube yesterday as I live streamed the first 30 minutes of my Live trading Room. The recording is up if you didn't catch it and I'm looking forward to seeing a lot of you in the room for your free week trial. Good luck today traders and DON'T force anything as these slow markets can be very tempting for those lookign for action.

USDCAD: Outlook on CAD (Live Trading Room Live Stream) USDCAD has been a frustrating pair for pattern traders, however it has been exceptional for trend following/continuation traders over the past few years. What I'm looking for hear is a move back down to the $1.40-$1.38 level for another buying opportunity. I know, I know, that's a ways away, however because of that prediction it also sets up the opportunity to look for shorting opportunities in anticipation of that level. Today in my live trading room we'll be breaking down this pair and seeing if any of those short opportunities exist on the lower time frame. You didn't hear it from me but I may be live streaming the first few minutes of today's Live Trading room so that you can see the analysis. Just head over to my Youtube page around 8:00am New York time.

GBPUSD: The Next Look at GBPUSDNo to much on my radar today, but then again, most of my analysis for the week comes after the Monday New York close. I did get a few questions to follow up on my last post. i'm a little late but here are my thoughts on the GBPUSD. If you remember last week we were keeping our eyes on a potential short opportunity as price action made it's way up to previous structure. Well after the market create a NSH that changed our analysis on the trend. I wouldn't be as bold to assume a full reversal due to the nature of the break and close that we had, but a retest of previous structure can certainly be on the table. See you guys in War Room!

EURUSD: Potential Bullish Cypher PatternShort and simple, I'm looking for a potential Bulish Cypher Pattern on the $EURUSD. Aside form that I don't have too much on my radar thus far going into today's Live Trading Room session. $EURJPY is the only other pair that I have orders on aside from yesterday's $USDCAD long. THURSDAY is our big day, not only do we have my usual Weekend Review Video coming out. Should be a very interesting one (so make sure you're subscribed to my youtube page) But Jason Stapleton also has his "Cracking the Code" workshop. Got to make it through today first though.

GBPUSD: Breakdown of a Bearish Trend Continuation SetupMany would call me crazy for looking to short the Cable ($GBPUSD) knowing that we're at a major level of structure on the daily chart, but IF we get the right type of retracement, there will be plenty of room to profit and exit the trade in what will simply look like retest of structure lows on the HTF. As you can see on my chart price action has recently gone through it's normal stages of expansion, consolidation, followed by expansion. My prediction is that we'll see some continued bullish action off of our current lows and retest that previous level of consolidation where I have an initial killzone made up of Fibonacci retracements and an inversion.. That's where I'll be looking for my opportunities to short. Each week in the Live Room and Syndicate, we seem to pick a single pair that we stalk for days waiting for the right opportunity. Last week it was the AUDCAD and that played out pretty well. Hopefully we can see the same here on the GBPUSD. Other pairs on my radar to start the week are the USDCAD (which I'm already long this morning), NZDUSD and AUDUSD.

AUDCAD: A 2nd Chance To Hop On The Trend with Video ExplanationI'm looking at two opportunities her eon the AUDCAD hourly chart 1) A Trend Continuation opportunity and 2) A bullish Cypher Pattern. Now of course you can combine the two, but when working with newer traders my advice is to pick and master a single strategy first, then add or start to combine later in your trading career. If you're new to following me this was a trade that we looked at earlier in the week so make sure you check out that post. I also reviewed it in my YouTube video last night so make sure you check that out if you're the type that picks up things better by watching. Good luck as we enter our final trading day of the week, I know those of you that trade advanced patterns on the $EURUSD are probably already starting the celebration a little early. ;-) Here's a link to the youtube video talking about the AUDCAD www.youtube.com Akil Stokes Chief Currency Analyst & Head Trading Coach www.TradeEmpowered,com -The Premier Online Trading Education Company YouTube goo.gl Facebook: goo.gl Twitter: goo.gl You Can Also Follow Me On Instagram, Periscope & StockTwits @AkilStokesRTM

AUDCAD: Nothing Fancy Just Pure Structure TradingNo fancy shapes or anything like that today just a pure structure based setup for you guys. We'll be looking for long opportunities on this pair today in my Live Trading Room looking to hop on the current outside return. We're actually inside the killzone as we speak but I'll be waiting for a lower place of entry since I'm more or a trend continuation trader not a trend following trader in these types of situations. We do have a Fibonacci cluster in this zone as well but what caught my attention was looking at price action and how resistance has recently turned to support around this psychhological level of 0.9950.

$EURUSD: "Structured Consolidation" Breeds Pattern OpportunityIt's been a very slow week for Jason Stapleton & the Trend Continuation side of the Syndicate, yet a very busy week for those who trade advanced patterns. The majority of advanced patterns are formed when the market is in what we like to call "Structured Consolidation" and this week more than a handful of the pairs in my portfolio are doing so. I'm currently short the $EURUSD on the bearish Cypher and if everything plays out the way I'd like, then I'll also be collecting profits and getting long at the potential bullish one in green (assuming it stays valid). It's Thursday so that means my FOREX WEEKEND REVIEW video will be coming out on YouTube. Make sure that your a SUBSCRIBER that way you'll be the first to know when it's released. In today's video i plan on talking about the grind of trading, my best trade ever and what i learned from it, and of course we'll be looking at a potential trading setup that you can add to your watchlist.

GBPJPY: 2 Potential Advanced Patterns (An Updated Analysis)As I showed you in yesterday's video, the fun thing about trading is the fact that we are constantly updating and adjusting our analysis to go along with the recent price moves.

EURUSD: 2 Advanced Pattern Non Farm Payroll Predictions Happy NFP day traders! As you know we've been tracking the EURUSD all week in the live room and last night I was finally able to get short an hour after the New York close. We never know what to expect from our monthly Non-Farm Payroll report (and accompanying news) but here are a few predictions on the higher timeframe that are worth keeping an eye on. We have 2 potential bat patterns setting up on this pair. A potential bullish bat down at 1.0580's and a potential bearish one up at 1.1380's. Something that I truely enjoy about being a trader vs. an investor is the fact that we get to act like a mercenaries in the markets. Meaning in situations like this we're not concerned if the market will go up or down, because we have a plan to attack either situation. Good luck out there today gang and please remember to hit that "thumbs up" button before leaving. I really do appreciate the support!

EURUSD: An Update Analysis on Recent Price ActionPrice action on the Euro ended up rallying right up to the previous level of resistance that we predicted. Although we didn't see the full trend continuation move that I had on my radar advanced pattern traders were able to take advantage & profit from a pain free bearish bat pattern completion. Price action has now given us a HHHC about previous resistance which means it's time to rework the analysis. (I got a question about this earlier) but short-term this is considered a bullish rotation, however the underlying trend is still bearish & I would now expect a move to the $1.0900-$1.0950's level for my next killzone. With the NFP tomorrow I may not have the opportunity to take advantage of that short, so during my day trading session we'll certainly be looking for ways to get long in anticipation of the potential short in my Live Trading Room. Check out the video I posted yesterday "The Most Important Trading Periscope You've Seen This Year!" www.youtube.com And as always please hit that THUMBS UP on this post and share it with a fellow trader.

EURUSD: Bearish Trend Continuation Setup on the 4 HourWe broke this same setup down in the Live Trading Room yesterday, yet never got the pullback necessary to get involved. We've since pushed down a little further and have double bottomed but the same opportunity exists. We just had to adjust our analysis slightly. As we look to start today's trading day this pair will offer a long opportunity to some with price action where it currently is. A short opportunity to others if price action goes where we predict it to go. And for the experienced trader, there may be an opportunity to take advantage of both moves. With not much else on my radar today we'll certainly be looking at this first thing before our Warroom Meeting break.
