EUR/USD, GBP/USD Forex Market Commentary October 17, 2012

The EUR/USD proved that the slightly bullish view was the correct assessment in the Oct. 16 forex commentary but the darn thing never gave us a safe entry and I was stuck watching it run off without me. I did take the short around the daily trend line and took the a -20 pip loss, [...]

Forex EUR/USD, GBP/USD Commentary October 16, 2012

The moves on the EUR/USD yesterday show we are more than likely going into a 3rd push chop scenario rather than having a clear direction. At this point it looks more like the push down during Asia was more than likely a head fake in technical terms. The way I see it is more than [...]

Forex Daily EUR/USD, GBP/USD Commentary October 15, 2012

Yee Haww! I have my internet back. Three days with no connection was driving me nuts to put it lightly. The backup is still on order and although we have put the most pressure on them as possible, here in the Philippines they run at a snails pace to get things done. One of the [...]

Daily Forex EUR/USD, GBP/USD Commentary October 10, 2012

Today the EUR/USD looks as though we may have seen the third push. However if I look at the clarity of the pushes the distance of yesterdays price action matches pretty close to the push from the highs. Plus we do have the hourly close below significant support from October 3rd I will have a [...]

Daily EUR/USD, GBP/USD Forex Commentary October 9, 2012

Today on the EUR/USD we have a clear first push to the downside with a 130+ pip move from the highs and the clear break below the support level from last week Friday. I will be expecting the second push today. We do have a chance for a deeper pullback with this push being well [...]

Forex EUR/USD, GBP/USD Commentary October 8, 2012

Looking at the EUR/USD this Monday morning we did not get the reversal we expected Friday but an extension  to the upside and the close above the support level created during the London session. Right now I am thinking this is a false push up created by the Unemployment figures release (what a farce)Friday. However [...]

EUR/USD, GBP/USD Daily Forex Commentary October 5, 2012

Today we have a third push up on the EUR/USD after the chop yesterday so we will be looking to see the topping formation then a manipulation move to the highs for the trap and the short. having said that we do have the Non Farm Payroll news release today so price action may be [...]

Forex Training Video – Forex Market Manipulation Strategy

In this forex training video we have a nice example of a stop run out of the Asian session. So many times people want to complicate what doesn’t need to be complicated. This is almost always true with stop runs. The stop run is in my opinion the single factor that gives true evidence of [...]

Forex Daily EUR/USD, GBP/USD Commentary July 20, 2012

While the EUR/USD did as we expected in yesterdays Forex commentary the GBP/USD did not thanks to the weakness in the EUR/GBP. Good job to those members who did catch the Euro short. It didnt give me the entry I liked and I unfortunately took the GBP/USD expecting the USD strength to prevail and it [...]

Daily Forex EUR/USD, GBP/USD Commentary July 19, 2012

Not much has changed for the EUR/USD since yesterday. We are still in chop mode and testing the hourly 200ema as I type this. I was kind of kicking myself for missing the short during the Asian session yesterday. There was an aggressive entry for the short but it never gave me a decent pullback [...]

EUR/USD, GBP/USD Forex Commentary July 18, 2012

You have to love it when a plan comes together. Yesterdays trading day was great all around. The Euro gave the entry short during the last minutes of the London session live room for a move of over 100 pips and then during the New York session Sterling got the long entry for the New [...]

Fx Daily EUR/USD, GBP/USD Commentary July 17, 2012

First I want to thank all of you for the well wishes for my father in law. It means alot and he is getting better so it isnt serious pneumonia but he is still in the hospital recovering and having more tests done. The EUR/USD today has seen 2 pushes to the upside. Albeit on news [...]

Daily Forex EUR/USD, GBP/USD Commentary July 16, 2012

My apologies for the late commentary guys. We had to run my father in law to the emergency room last night. Turns out he has pneumonia. Its been a long night so the commentary will get right to the point. The EUR/USD has seen several pushes to the downside and could reverse any time. However I [...]

Forex Commentary EUR/USD, GBP/USD July 13, 2012

We have been pushing extended levels in the EUR/USD all week now and have a better chance for the reversal considering it did come within 15 pips of the daily support level around 1.2150. Considering this I will still only be willing to take the long with a clear stop run to yesterdays low. Otherwise [...]

Daily Forex EUR/USD, GBP/USD Commentary July 12, 2012

Looking at the EUR/USD this morning I see the attempt to push lower has been held up by Tuesdays lows even though we did have a nice 1hr close below that level. My bias is still to the downside here but it is looking like it may be entering the 3rd push chop before a [...]

EUR/USD, GBP/USD Daily Forex Commentary July 11, 2012

The EUR/USD did make a feeble attempt at a stop run as I mentioned in the July 10th commentary. However to be honest I expected a little more than that. It seems the smart money is having trouble inducing buying to sell into even though the rumors were flying around from the ECOFIN meeting and [...]

FX Daily EUR/USD, GBP/USD Commentary July 10, 2012

The EUR/USD has made what I would call a half baked attempt at the reversal for a whopping 66 pip move from the lows to highs yesterday. At this point I am considering this to still be the 3rd push chop and can go either way. Of course my fundamental bias is down but I [...]

GBP/USD Forex Day Trade July 6, 2012

This GBP/USD trade did carry a bit more risk being Non Farm Payroll day but the set up could not have been better and once it gave me the price I wanted up in the previous several wicks I felt it was worth the added risk of the Non Farm Payroll release in 30 minutes. [...]

Forex Daily Commentary EUR/USD, GBP/USD July 9, 2012

The EUR/USD did the extension of the pushes Friday and squeezed out a forth push to the downside rather than attempt the reversal showing just how weak the Euro is at the moment. However today I will still be cautiously looking for the reversal. I definitely wont be holding for a longer push but the Smart Money [...]

Forex Commentary EUR/USD, GBP/USD July 6, 2012

My trade plan for the Euro yesterday played off almost exactly as expected. It didnt give me the manipulation at the point I was most happy with and I had a feeling I might have to take a more aggressive entry. Of which I was prepared to do considering the 2nd push trades have the [...]

EUR/USD, GBP/USD Daily Forex Commentary July 5, 2012

The EUR/USD has made its second push down from the highs for another run of over 100 pips. The slight bias for the short over the last couple days has proven to be the correct direction for the trade. However entries have been elusive. I did manage to catch the GBP/USD short on Tuesday but [...]

Daily Forex EUR/USD, GBP/USD Commentary July 4, 2012

Today we again have the EUR/USD holding in the chop and finding support at Mondays lows. With the ECB meeting and rate decision tomorrow the chances for the market to hold this chop goes up. I do still have a slight bias for the short but it could go either way. Today I will be [...]

EUR/USD, GBP/USD Forex Commentary July 3, 2012

The EUR/USD has seemed to enter a choppy market. As I warned from the July 2nd commentary this news driven bull run may be short lived but I did expect it to go for just one day. It does still have potential for the third push today and not clear the highs but that is [...]

FX Daily Commentary EUR/USD, GBP/USD July 2, 2012

The EUR/USD has made a significant jump as we all know due to the grand plan to have a plan to fix the Eurozone. It is showing 2 clear pushes for almost 300 pips and I will be expecting the third today but I will be happier to see a deeper pullback into the 1.2600 [...]

Daily Forex EUR/USD, GBP/USD Commentary June 29, 2012

The optimism for the EUR/USD that was gained from a WSJ article stating that Germany was closer to letting Euro Bonds happen was quickly crushed by the German finance ministry with a spokes person making the statement of “Schauble did not say Germany will move sooner on shared liability for debt”. What strikes me as [...]

Forex Commentary EUR/USD, GBP/USD June 28, 2012

The optimism in the Euro never came about yesterday as it would seem that investors are in wait and see mode rather than anticipating that there will be anything actually worked out in the EU Economic Summit that starts today. I guess they are getting smarter faster than I thought. The first sentence of this [...]

Daily EUR/USD, GBP/USD Forex Commentary June 27, 2012

The EUR/USD has seen the clear 3 pushes to the downside longer term now. Even though the push yesterday was just under 90 pips we aren’t going to split hairs on its validity. Today we will be expecting the reversal for the move up. The bottoming formation that is forming here has found support at Mondays lows [...]

Daily Fx EUR/USD, GBP/USD Commentary June 26, 2012

The EUR/USD did as expected and made the next push to the downside yesterday. Looking closely at the chart at this point I do see 3 intraday pushes from the highs for almost 300 pips over 4 days and now I am figuring a reversal may be the higher probability today. We are seeing the [...]

EUR/USD, GBP/USD Forex Commentary June 25, 2012

The EUR/USD has had yet another gap to start the week off. This time not such an intense gap as we have seen in the recent past. However the fact that there was not much interest in closing it tells me something of the Euro weakness. There is still the chance of it to close [...]

Forex EUR/USD, GBP/USD Daily Commentary June 22, 2012

We were correct with the small downward bias for the EUR/USD and GBP/USD yesterday. However the timing of the trade was off and I took the 20 pip hit on the GBP/USD. We had a nice set up but the Smart Money had a bit more manipulation to do and I got caught in it. [...]

Forex Daily EUR/USD, GBP/USD Commentary June 21, 2012

As expected we got the EUR/USD chop around the Fed decision yesterday. While the long term pushes show we are still back in the 3rd push chop There are 3 intraday pushes from the lows on Monday for a run of around 185 pips if I include the push yesterday from the news. Even though [...]

Daily Forex EUR/USD, GBP/USD Commentary June 20, 2012

The EUR/USD has a failed first push to the downside and has gone back into a chopping price action of the 3rd push on Monday. Now that we are back in this range directional bias is open. It did make an attempt at the highs from Monday but was rejected  about 20 pips away which does tell [...]

EUR/USD, GBP/USD FX Daily Commentary June 19, 2012

The EUR/USD has made a significant reversal for the first push to the downside like I mentioned in the forex commentary from June 18. For now it has found some support at the hourly 200ema for. I will be looking for the 2nd push down today but we do have a chance for the deeper [...]

Forex Market Daily Commentary EUR/USD, GBP/USD June 18, 2012

The EUR/USD has gaped up yet again with the results of the Greek vote and has made a 3rd push so today I will be on the look out for the reversal. It may not be an extended move but just a closing of the gap will be a nice 90 pip move from the [...]

Forex Daily Commentary EUR/USD, GBP/USD June 15, 2012

Today my commentary is to be a bit different as I am taking the day off and I suggest you do the same. The EUR/USD has been in a volatile state and I expect it to do the same today. The fact is the Greek election is on Sunday and as noted in my June 14 forex [...]

Daily Forex Commentary EUR/USD, GBP/USD June 14, 2012

Considering yesterdays price action on the EUR/USD along with the extended moves we have been seeing lately we are going to have to treat this like the market is in the 3rd push chop still and look for clear confluencing factors and manipulation. The fact is there was a nice set up short that just [...]

Daily Forex EUR/USD, GBP/USD Commentary June 13, 2012

The movement in the EUR/USD yesterday has cleared up the pushes somewhat. However with the extended pushes and the fact that it still remains in this 230 pip range leaves some interpretation as to direction. The way I will be looking at this pair today is with a slight bias to the downside but considering [...]

New York Reversal Trade GBP/USD Set Up June 11, 2012

The New York reversal provided a nice set up yesterday. Those that keep up with my daily forex commentary knew that I preferred a short to close the gaps on Monday morning. The fact is just as I expected the EUR/USD would not provide me with a nice entry but did close the gap and [...]

Daily FX EUR/USD, GBP/USD Commentary June 12, 2012

We have had the respective closing of the gaps on the EUR/USD and GBP/USD but as to the levels of push we are still in an unclear situation. As I mentioned in the June 11, 2012 forex commentary I preferred the short entry but it never came on the EUR/USD. However the GBP/USD set up [...]

EUR/USD, GBP/USD Daily Forex Commentary June 11, 2012

We have had a rather large gap to the upside on the EUR/USD over the weekend due to the release of Spanish banks getting bailed out and there is nothing clear about the pushes at this time. During moves like this we have no choice but to look for the manipulation. I do feel that [...]

Fx EUR/USD, GBP/USD Daily Commentary June 8, 2012

Today we get a bit more clarity from the EUR/USD with a clearer third push to the upside. The last push was a few pips shy of a 90 pip run but still clarifies we should turn now that we are seeing at a topping formation. As I type this it is breaking yesterdays lows [...]

Daily EUR/USD, GBP/USD Forex Market Commentary June 7, 2012

We did manage to get the push up we expected on the EUR/USD and GBP/USD yesterday. However the entries were not clear enough for me to take them personally. I did manage to take 45 pips from a GBP/USD short but unfortunately it was after a 25 pip hit as I took it a bit [...]

EUR/USD, GBP/USD Forex Daily Commentary June 6, 2012

As I look at the market this morning I was happy to see that I didnt get stopped out of my long EUR/USD position I took in the live room session and now it seems poised to hit my TP at 1.2490 but since we do have the hourly 200EMA in the way I just [...]

Live Forex Training Room Long – EUR/USD Day Trade June 6, 2012

I have to say we have been doing well over the past few weeks and catching trades during the London session. Yesterday, June 6 we had to wait out a 100+ pip move for this EUR/USD long as the market had a deeper pullback in store that I didn’t expect but patients prevailed and we [...]

Forex Market Commentary EUR/USD, GBP/USD June 5, 2012

There seems to be more optimistic views for the EUR/USD than I expected as it just started on a slow rise during the London session yesterday and then made the large pop triggering stops above Fridays high before settling around the 1.25 level. My theory is that there is something expected at the ECB meeting [...]

FX EUR/USD, GBP/USD Daily Commentary June 4, 2012

The EUR/USD did exactly as expected considering the nasty Non Farm payroll figures. I was thinking they would be better than that but thats why we wait for the release. Im no that convinced that this push up will continue the turmoil in Europe. This move is based mainly on the bet that the Fed [...]

EUR/USD, GBP/USD Forex Market Daily Commentary June 1, 2012

We did get the 3rd push yesterday as we expected. The question now is will we get the reversal. To be honest I have my doubts unless of course NFP today really disappoints of which I will cover later. The fact is there is a reason why we see extended long term pushes and its [...]

Daily FX EUR/USD, GBP/USD Commentary May 31, 2012

Welcome back for the May 31, 2012 Fx commentary. I cant say I was surprised to see the 100+ pip moves on the EUR/USD and GBP/USD when I woke up this morning. A little disappointed I didnt get a trade yesterday but still happy that some of our more aggressive members did. Good job guys. [...]
