Structure-trade
2618 on Gold! Ready to short!Hey guys,
i've been watching closely to gold lately and i've found out that it basically respect structure like any other pair i'm trading. So i've decided to apply some analysis to this instrument in order to give you my particular view about it.
The black line represents a daily structure level that i pointed out last week, after the first test price action fell forming a double top that has been recently broken to the downside.
This means my bias is now short, and this may be the startinig point of a new downtrend.
In order to hop on the trend with a nice risk to reward ratio, i've outlined two "Killzones" where i'm going to pay attention to candlestick formations.
The first one is the double top's neckline and the support that's been broken ultimately, thus it's considered to be the first possible turning point.
The second one is the 2618's completion that you could take as a trade alone.
My conservative style of trading tells me to wait till i see a weakness signal on price action.
Good luck!

Flag pattern on EURGBPHey guys,
another simple pattern on my radar today. This time i'm right on time because the break has just happened. You can see the big impulsive leg that broke multiple structure levels on the 4hr chart. Like i said on the previous idea usually after impulses like this price put brief form of consolidation like flag, triangles and pennants.
You can trade in two different ways: the first is to sell the close of the breaking candle, but in this case in order to have a better than 1:1 RR you have to set your target1 below structure (maybe lining up with 1.27 extension), the other way (the one i'm using) is to wait for a pullback and then sell as soon as you get a 1:1 RR at the retest of the lows. And then maybe you can split your position and take target2 at the extension.
It's up to you.

Long Term Short on GOLD Very nice trend continuation setup on XAUUSD. This is definitely a longer term hold, but if you have the discipline and patience to hold on to it, this could be a very good trade.
Price action is putting in a double top right at the 38.2 Fibonacci retracement level which happens to line right up with a nice support level to the left. Now we know structure acts like a magnet, so if this level will hold, my prediction is that we will roll over and continue lower ultimately reaching 1054.00
Now before I get a bunch of comments about how crazy I am due to some fundamental reason or analysis, just know that this is a prediction based purely on the technical of the chart in front of you and nothing else.
As always follow your plan
Good luck and Good Trading!
Basic structure trade on NZDJPYHey guys,
this is a very basic concept of a structure trade. As you can see above on NZDJPY price just came out from a consolidation period and put new structure highs. At this moment i know my bias would be long; but i can't enter a trade long on the top of the movement, i should wait for price to give me a better entry in order to catch the upward move.
My analysis on higher timeframe tells me that price should test 83 flat and that's why it would be my second target. Anyway, the previous resistance should now becomes support and it lines up with .618 retracement of the impulsive move that break the consolidation pattern.
For all those reasons i'm going to wait for the close of the current candle and see what it tells me. If it'll hold i'm buying this up, hoping for, at least, a retest of the highs and then maybe a move further on.
If you have any question. feel free to comment below.

EURJPY: Previous Structure Resistance Well if you've been following my daily trading blog then you know that I've been on a pretty good streak as of late. Funny how that goes hand in hand with me NOT posting to Tradingview for a week. of course that means that I've probably jinxed this trading opportunity..oh well too late now.
Similar to the AUDUSD, GBPUSD, NZDUSD & Silver trades that we've been looking at this week, price is at a point where it is retesting a previous level of structure support. Although we've had a bullish rotation here on the hourly, this is the first real test of the lows of our previous sideways channel.
Seeing how we traded in that channel for a good period of time I would anticipate some selling pressure at that level both from new sellers entering the markets and bulls taking profits.
Hard to see on this chart because it's zoomed out, but we also have the same type of price action leading up into the zone as we did with the GBPUSD meaning the high momentum move followed by the fading rising wedge.
USDJPY: Potential 2618 & Advanced Pattern Formation & a voteHappy Friday traders! Great to see everyone survive another week in these wild wild markets! Last night we were looking for a potential bullish 2618 trade to occur here on the USDJPY as a more conservative approach for those looking to get long.
If we get a completion, it would also represent the "C" leg of a potential advanced gartley formation providing traders with the opportunity to ride price up and then stop & reverse for a move back down (assuming it fits your plan).
We had a nice move on the previous 2618, but now it's pretty difficult for me to get a read on what Yen's next move is. There's not clear level of major support present so when talking to traders about this pair, we've been going over using a cautious approach.
Have a great weekend and also, lately I've been taking votes for what pair you'd like me to analyze in my Forex market Preview video. So if you have one that you like shoot it in the comment section below before Sunday!
EURCAD LONG Opportunity ?It seems we have an opportunity to LONG this pair, based on Elliott wave count on a wave 3 minuette time period and breakout of structure including use of 0.50 ~ 0.618 fibonacci, which both line up. Stochastic indicates a small move down before moving upwards and MACD 4C indicates the finalising of wave 2 minuette in preparation for a wave 3 minuette.

Going Bearish on USDJPYNow last week I went short on this pair and banked a couple hundred pips. I just put out a video on how I will be looking to do the same thing this week. youtu.be
I do believe that its not out of the realm of possibility to see this pair retrace down to 111.000. Which as you can see is only a 38.2 Fibonacci retracement of the entire leg up.
Here on the chart we have a potential 2618 setup that can be used to enter on the short side.
I myself will be looking to take off the first half of my position around 115.26. That way I can lock in some profits and then look for some extended targets around 111.05.
Now I know that the popular opinion out there is "Dollar Strength" but I think we might start seeing some relief in the dollar, and I believe that this potential setup my provide a great opportunity.
As always, follow your rules and trade your plan.
Good Luck and Good Trading
USDCAD: APutting In A Potential Right ShoulderDollar weakness in the markets have driven us down over 300 pips before finally looking as if we may see some relief. If you "look left" on this chart you'll see that current price action has made it's way down to an inside level of potential structure support which may also end up being the right shoulder in a potential head & shoulders pattern.

AUDJPY Counter trend tradeHey guys,
second analysis today, here on audjpy we can see we are testing a former resistance level. At this point price gave us a long wick to the top candle (selling pressure) followed by an engulfing candle. All seasoned with RSI Divergence.
That's enough for me to trade.
Currently i'm waiting for a pullback in order to enter short.
First target at roughly 1:1 RR, second along with structure.
Stops above the wick.

EURUSD Trend Continuation tradeHey guys,
here on EURUSD we have a nice trading setup, since we broke below the most recent low and now we are pulling back to the resistance zone. I've outlined a box (between ex support and actual resistance) and in there i'm looking for a candlestick formation, considering we've already entered an OVERBOUGHT condition.
Trade simple.

Day 1 Pro Trader WorkshopJust had day 1 of the pro trader workshop. It was a great morning, and we covered a ton of stuff. We will be having day 2 tomorrow morning starting at 8am est and if you missed this mornings stream and you want to watch it, here is the link. youtu.be
One of the things that we will be covering tomorrow morning will be the Technical Scoring System. This is a great example of a TS2 trade.
We have structure, we are going with the overall trend of the higher time frame (daily TF), we have a potential AB=CD pattern with Fibonacci retracement, extension and inversion confluence. Definitely a good setup, if we can get a valid entry signal, if and when we make it up to the kill zone.
Good luck and good trading.
GOLD: The Next Pullback Into A Potential ShortLooking for a simple trend continuation trade here on gold as the market consolidates in it's latest pullback. The "Initial Killzone" that i drew out is a combination of the two bigger killzones that I've identified combined with levels of Fibonacci ratio confluence.
If you were to zoom out to the daily chart you'll also notice a previous level of structure support that may now act as potential resistance rest there as well.
Speaking of the daily, i'm getting somewhat of a mixed signal from the chart. An initial looks shows clear sailing down to 1100-1050's level, however I would suspect that the previous level of inside consolidation won;t make that ride so easy.
Not to mention the unexpectancy that comes with this being a non farms week.
AUDUSD back to test broken support. Could become resistance?Hi traders,
this is my analysis on AUDUSD. Price is coming back to retest a previous broken support. In case like this a broken support could turn into a resistance and provide a good point for reversals. We've identified two levels but i think the first is more important cause, look left, it has proved to be strong two times in the most recent time.
So as usual after we find a good point for reversals we go down to lower timeframes and look for shorting opportunities in form of candlesticks, advanced or simple patterns.
Let's see! If you want to share your standpoint, please comment.

GBPJPY: Some Longer Term Analysis (Long & Short)I apologize for the sloppy chart but this was the trade that I recently discussed in my Forex market Preview video & didn't want to erase anything just yet. (Link to my youtube page is in the "signature" box below)
But essentially there are two potential trading opportunities that I have my eyes on for this pair. A potential counter trend trade (SHORT) if the market were to make it's way up to previous structure resistance.
And a trend continuation trade (LONG) if we were to see some relief, in anticipation of a continued move up towards previous structure resistance.
Either way i'm predicting that the market has room for more bullish movement, the question is "How Will It Get There?" and How/IF I will be able to get involved. We shall see!
EURUSD: Retest of Structure & Retest of Double TopEURUSD is setting up almost identically to the Gold and Silver trading opportunities that we discussed in Tuesday's Syndicate video. Looking at a retest of a previous structure shelf that once was support and now is anticipated to show some resistance.
We've already double topped during the London session, which means that using the 2618 would be the perfect technique for those looking to get involved.
We have another jammed packed day of economic news events being released today especially from the GBP starting at 8am (New York). Thus far this week I've been on the wrong side of most moves but as we demonstrate time in and time out, the only way to get through a drawdown is to trade through it.
Easier said than done this week as I'll probably be shutting down shop soon, but I did get filled the Kiwi position so if I could get a positive win on that, it would be a great start to the drawdown healing process.
Lastly I'll probably be live on Youtube tomorrow during or right after the Non Farm Payroll release.
