NZDUSD: Ask 2 ?'s "Where Should Price Go & How Can It Get There"With Jason out of town I’ll be pulling double duties helping out with the morning War Room as well and today I had about six potential trades on my radar. I typically don’t actively trade on Monday’s but I will be keeping an eye on the NZDUSD for multiple trading opportunities. Bigger picture I’m still looking for a chance to short this pair once we retrace to our previous support level, but currently we put in a nice base, which was broken above and could provide as a good place to get long if the market were to retrace to that level. . Sort of like a 2618 type of move.
Whenever I make my predictions about the market I don’t just ask myself “where is price most likely to go?” I also asked myself “How is price most likely to get there?” These simple questions have often given me the opportunity to catch the move before the move.
Obviously a lot can happen, but I always like to start off my week with a plan of “what to look for” that way I’m dialed in. What now? Well now I sit back and see what the market has to do. Remember as traders it’s our job to react, not to tell the market what it “will” do.
If you get the chance check out my Interview on Brandon Clay’s Trading Story website talking about my trading story & setting up a plan of action for you trades tradingstory.com
Best of luck this week traders, and let me know what you think about the interview.

DOW Squeezing up.. Which way to go next?Dow has been in a long term uptrend and has been squeezing up between trend lines that it has been bouncing up and down. The question is will it continue doing so and if yes for how long as the space is almost squeezed out. The next deciding level for DOW is around 18550 to 18700. That is when it has to decide either to break out, continue consolidation by going low till 18200 again or break down and correct more to other trend line support zones or may be do a bigger correction till 15000.. I would assume the time has come to make up the mind.. Trade with Caution!
Happy Trading!!
NZD/JPY Prepare for SHORTEverything on chart :)
I follow the rule less is more!
Safe and secure entry would be waiting price breakdown trendline + EMA 12 but you might me little to late
So i would suggest here little more agressive entry, drawing trendline accurate on H4 and wait that price reach around EMA 200 (please check your charts) and after price BREAKDOWN TRENDLINE + EMA 12 enter short. Have in mind if you dont get nice breakdown do not enter, do not force and wait that candle closes below trendline + ema 12 not just that it breakdown but close, huh i complicated that :D!
We have very strong resistance above already listed on chart!
Risk reward is extreamly in our favour, maybe this is another 1000 pip or more trade :)
Enter : as i said... agressive on H4 trendline breakdown + EMA 12
More safe but waiting longer on DAILY 123 break of TL and EMA 12
Stop loss : above EMA 200
Enter with 3 same lot size positions at once
Risk : reward (TP1 = 1:1, TP2 = 1 : 2, TP 3 = 1: trailing)
Trailing :
Trail both positions to breakeven after TP1 hit (very safe but chance to get stoped out and miss major trend)
Trail last position only once TP1 and TP2 is hit (i would pick that! :) )
How to trail?
Normal : above EMA 36
Long term safe : above EMA 200
Type of trailing : manual only
Best regards

NVDA rest before continuation move downFundamentals:
Nvidia Corp posted higher fiscal second-quarter earningsyesterday after market close and gave a forecast for current-quarter revenues that exceeded Wall Street's estimates, sending shares of the graphics chipmaker higher in after-hours trade.
The outlook in the PC industry has brightened following news that PC shipments were flat in the June quarter, a better-than-expected result.
After struggling to compete against larger chipmakers like Qualcomm in smartphones and tablets, Nvidia has increased its focus on using its Tegra chips to power entertainment and navigation systems in cars made by companies including Volkswagen's Audi, BMW and Tesla.
Technicals:
From technicals perspective chart looks broken after it found supply zone at $19.50-.75, then broke important levels of support. Now, price is sitting on its 200 EMA forming nice, tight, lower-level range. I will be watching closely on open if buyers have enough power to hold after-hours gains. Hold below $18.23 and drop back below $18.00 will trigger my entry short. I use active trade management system with tiers. I will add below $17.30 and it will open doors to the next potential buying area/target at $16.00-.43.
Market:
continue to show us wekaness and this lower range become more defining. I expect to see quick move down to $1,895-$1,900 in $S&P500. So, it will keep preassure on weak stocks.
