I don't typically watch oil too much but with all that's been in the news over the past few weeks how could I resist. Also being involved in the USDCAD trade that I shared with you guys last week caused me to keep one eye open as well. Anyway, despite the fundamentals (some of which are screaming short) the technicals are what matter to me most and in a heavy...

Thanks to a certain client, I now keep an eye on the GER30 and as I looked at it today I noticed a pretty nice setup for those looking to get long. Looking left we've just put in a wedge pattern that was followed by a breakout. Currently we're in consolidation that retraces right back down to the highs of that former pattern. Resistance turning to support. What...

I noticed that Silver can potentially put in 2 smaller advanced patterns, especially if price action decided to consolidate. I got a question on the USDCAD chart I posted the other day about trading a technique that we used to call the "Aggressive C" I said it was a horrible idea for the most part , but this would an example of a situation that would make sense...

LINK TO VIDEO RECORDING: www.youtube.com We discussed this in my Live Trading room this morning and I'm a little late getting it out to you because I wanted to pair a video with it. But what we're looking at is a Bullish bat pattern completion on the USDCAD 4hr Chart. At that completion level we also have minor structure, Fibonacci ratio confluence, and multiple...

This morning I posted a trade idea titled "3rd Times The Charm" In this idea I mentioned that i had previously taken 2 losers on this particular currency pair the day before and was ready to reload once again for another shot at getting short. Well that trade payed off as our double bottom/ Bat pattern (LTF) rolled over without much pain this morning and then even...

Tried shorting this pair twice yesterday and failed on both attempts. The first short came at the aggressive structure level that we talked about in Monday's training (which occurs around the B leg of the harmonic move I drew out) and the second attempt came at these very same highs. Unfortunately my stop was about 8 pips too shy and the market got me. Fast...

I like to think that each currency pair has its own genetic code. Some pairs move very harmonically, some pairs do not. One of the reason that I like to keep my trading portfolio small is so that I can get a good feel for how each pair likes to move. Over the past few years I noticed that the USDJPY likes to go on these insane rallies....followed by consolidation...

Bullish Cypher pattern at market. The D completion of the Bullish Cypher is also the potential C to D leg of another bearish one which at the moment would complete at the 98.64 level.

Not a pair I trade, but one of the traders shot this to me today and I wanted to share. It's a double top at previous structure resistance with bearish divergence on the RSI.

Potential bearish butterfly pattern coming in at the very top of a recent structure area. If the market intends on continuing to consolidate until Thursday, then it's an excellent spot t shoot for another move down.

Potential Butterfly & Cypher patterns lining up in the same reversal zone on the Gold Weekly chart.

The Risk to Reward ratio is tremendous here. I don't think much more needs to be said. Many will be scared to make this move, but the best opportunities occur before everyone else is involved.

What we have here on the GBPJPY is a potential Bearish Cypher pattern completion forming within a retracement leg of the underlying trend. This pair has spend 6 straight days being bearish so it wouldn't surprise me at all if we saw some relief. So the question is IF we're going to get a pullback THEN where is price action likely to go? 9See how I snuck that...

One of my current clients is a big trader of the German DAX so i find myself looking at this index on almost a daily basis. The more I look at it, the more I enjoy breaking it down as it seems to be a pretty technical friendly chart. When taking a look at it today in my Live Trading Room we noticed a few things. The obvious structure level looking left, the...

What fun would trading be if we didn't stem up a bit a controversy every once in a while. Now when looking at the higher timeframes everyone is calling for a long on the GBPAUD based on the previous level of structure that we're coming into. Me...well I took a short position this morning at the 86 even handle. Seeing how more than 80% of traders fail I have no...

Following up on my last video XAU/USD offers another opportunity to demonstrate the various ways to use Fibonacci tools. IF price action were to break our current structure level to the upside, THEN we're looking at a potential reversal zone that offers previous structure resistance, and a Fibonacci cluster. For a more detailed explanation of my analysis on this...

Many of you that follow me are aware that I've been testing out a new theory on the Cypher pattern. In fact i initially had 2 theories that I wanted to test but after speaking to the creator we decided to focus on the one. I'm months away from completing this testing since free time is hard to find these days with the new born and all, but this is the first...

It looks like the GBPJPY trade we talked about last night has come quicker than expected. Two patterns for the price of one. Very big stop/loss on this so you may want to think about using an alternate entry technique in order to limit exposure.
