Todays video is an update of the trades plans from yesterday which are still very much in progress. Rob Helean

Very sweet session indeed on quite a few pairs today. In this video I focus on just one reload entry of one of these moves, the short on the GBP/USD. We had opened London and extended right down to our daily M1 pivot point/4 hour 200 ema combination. In this video I essentially show you the plan for a re-entry into this short yet again off of a combination of Fibonacci levels, hourly 5ema, daily S1 pivot point, and 4 hour 5 ema, and targeting our S2 pivot point today around 1.6250 or so.. This entry although planned well in advance by using 15m. 1hr. 4hr charts, ultimately was taken from a zoomed in 1 minute chart watching price action at our expected resistance area. With a risk of about 20 pips we snagged a nice 60+ pip reload here around 1.6328 without much difficulty. All pairs included though, today was just Sweet!

The Daily trendline on the GBP/USD was under pressure again today, starting back in late Asia into the pre-London session. Then again we found ourselves with some proper Fibonacci pullback entries into the London session, onward past the now broken daily trend line for new recent high’s. In this video I show how we built a couple GBP long trade plans during our London session, as well as covering the more difficult Fib entry at 4:30am, which although technically perfect, was a difficult entry to take since we had GBP news being release Exactly when we are at this point. Yet even after this tough entry, we did indeed get one more pullback opportunity to reload this GBP/USD long, or whichever GBP pair of your choosing. Wonderful pip total day indeed longing the British Pound Sterling!

Throughout pre-London we had established a bit of a range on the majors early one, with some volatility showing up on the GBP/USD about an hour before London open. Even though the GBP/USD was starting to show some short term strength, the combination of a Daily trend line touch, along with a closed Bollinger Band on both the 4hour and 1hour charts indicated implied volatility for further upside was limited, at least on the near term. Armed with this information we started building trade plans around a lower high scenario. While the initial entry indeed take place prior to London open, there were a few more opportunities throughout early London to hop into this trade, including one exactly as London opened. In this video I walk you through these trade plans, that although were fairly high quality entries, in the long run ended up lacking follow through. Essentially successful trades in that they certainly moved far enough for us to protect very nice pips, but failed miserably reaching our objective. In the end, as London lunch arrived we had proven to stay in a fairly isolated range all night, with a few exceptions here and there. A rather tough night to make a lot of pips unless you were aggressive at protecting/scaling out your pips, which we did at every corner. Sometimes you have to scrape and claw to make your 120 pip night out of 30 here and 30 there.

The EUR/USD had been showing Lower High’s for quite a while now on the 4 hour charts, forming a very distinct falling trend line. Just before London got started today we break this trend line. Typically, once something like this occurs, it’s very commonplace that a retest of this area is a high probability entry point back in the direction of the break, even if just for the short term. So let’s see, here we are at London market opening, after breaking this trend line and now sitting on the retested zone. Long off of this zone was certainly the plan, it was just a matter of the actual trigger and stop placement after that. In this video I show you how we built this trade plan to begin with, waited for our setup to be met, and took action. This trade ended up extending well for roughly a 1-3 risk vs. reward ratio for about a 70 pip winning trade. Nice way to end the month/quarter!

Since the weekend I had spoken in length in the London FXBootcamp session about seriously developing 4hour MACD divergence on every Japanese Yen pairing I could pull up. About a third of the way into today’s London session we began to see hints of a change in direction, such as USD/JPY having an hourly lower high, then breaking it’s recent price trap’ support level in the 15m chart. In class we covered the trade plans for shorting the GBP/JPY, EUR/JPY, and USD/JPY, and any trader could have done the same on any or even a basket of JPY pairs. In this video however, I will cover just the GBP/JPY. I will discuss and show in detail what caused us to both look for the short ‘clue train’ in the first place, and ultimately the actual entry/trigger criteria we used to short the GBP/JPY , risking just 20 or so pips, amounting to a fairly painless ride to just over 100 pips, before offering another pullback for an additional 90 pips reload. Very nice trading session indeed for London, certainly well deserved after the choppy sessions we have seen of late in the London time frame.

Today’s London session was kind of tacky other than the quite obvious British Pound weakness throughout the night. While the GBP/USD short paid nice dividends from the pre-London entry, in this video I focus more on a completely different trade on the EUR/JPY. However, we did use the GBP weakness in the form of EUR/GBP breaking resistance to give us our confirmation on the EUR/JPY long. This trade plan shows how price action will often respect previous area’s of resistance as support, in the form of role reversal. This entry was pretty much entirely predicated by this. Ultimately the trade only reached around a 40 pip profit, but it was a relatively painless wait for +15 or so, enough to protect break even, and enjoy a risk free trade.

We began today’s London session already enjoying a decent GBP/USD short trade from pre-London. However, we find ourselves at a Weekly central pivot point, and 4 hour 21 ema exactly at London open. Even if there would be further downside in the British Pound’s future, opening a major market at support is always something to be very aware of, and probabilities are that we will head up from that point, at least back to some sort of Fibonacci pullback zone. In this video I show first how we determined the right time to cash out of the original short from pre-London, along with the clues for a long entry if you so desired. Once this trade plan had reached it’s destination in form of the 50% Fibonacci pullback of the days move, our re-short trade plan off the role reversal area proved rewarding. Ultimately however, a 15 minute Higher Low sent a very clear signal that the GBP/USD was more interested in making higher highs shortly thereafter. This was a very tricky session that required great discipline in ones trading, but using sound techniques, along with that discipline did indeed lead to a profitable day.

While we have enjoyed an extended ride back down from the recent high’s on the EUR/USD, today we open the London session showing very clear MACD histogram divergence with the current price action on a 15 minute chart, along with today’s M1 reversal pivot point, the 4 hour 200ema, and the daily 55ema. That is a lot of visual support plus divergence to see exactly at a major market open such as London. With that in mind we went ahead with the building of a low risk high reward, high probability trade plan for longing the EUR/USD. Trading it back at least to the next visual area of resistance around the hourly 21ema. In this video I break down how we built the plan, executed, and protected our pips all the way to our target, and then some.

Asia into pre-London today continued the sell off on the Japanese Yen pairings from Friday’s fantastic drop off the daily resistance. The end result is we found ourselves at definitive support in pretty much every flavor on the Yen pair longer term charts, such as new weekly pivots, and long term trend lines. Opening a major market such as London “ON” support will generally lead to a rise before ever having a chance to fall again (due mainly to profit taking), such as a longer term Fibonacci pullback etc. Well since our London session is only a few hours long you have two choices. Either wait for the eventual longer term pullback entry, which could take until New York or never come, or conservatively set up high reward/low risk counter trend trade plan’s hoping to take advantage of the mass profit taking going on. While we covered multiple pairs in the session, in this video I focus on just one of these pair’s, the GBP/JPY. Using thing’s like, price trap’s, higher low’s, and Fibonacci on shorter term time frames we were able to plot a nice profit potential trade with a very low risk entry that ended up working out very nicely for around 125 pips if entered properly. Also this is after first being stopped out break even from an earlier attempt. Trading is hard enough as is, counter trend however requires an even more disciplined approach. Once we hit our target, early in the New York session a high quality re short into the direction of the original trend on the 4 hour did indeed present itself.
