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

Hi everyone. Today’s video is an update on where e are at on the pound, short/medium/long-term. Also a piece on the Aussie. It could go either way. I am happy for see it do this. Waiting for the Aussie Employment news to show me the way. Good luck today! Rob Helean

Capital preservation was a valid position today, as the U.S. dollar consolidated after losing ground against most major currencies during the Asian and London sessions. A 55-pip scalp trade on the GBP/USD currency pair was arguably the best setup today’s New York session had to offer.

Hi Everyone! This the first outlook video produced for the new Asian Session. It is always difficult to predict the start of the week but knowing with what we know, we take a look at some Aussie continuation and the Pound which looks bullish and wants to break an upside trap. Good luck! Rob Helean

The British pound exhibited a firmer tone following the announcement by the Bank of England that it would expand its quantitative easing program by £25B, less than the market consensus of a £50B increase. That fundamental news, in combination with prior visual support, moving averages on multiple time frames, a trendline, and a Fibonacci retracement level, contributed to a trade plan for buying the GBP/USD currency pair soon after the U.S. equity market open. The long trade on cable yielded up to 70 pips [depending on exit strategy].

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!

Here we are on the Monday right after the British Pound dove off a steep cliff. In addition, London’s time changed so that London open does not correspond with the normal London open for US traders, that goes back to normal Sunday when US times change as well. After such a massive move, we found ourselves in a bit of a range, playing ping pong between support and resistance throughout the first trading day of the week. Likely the best approach for extracting pips during this London session was going to be taking shots right off the tops and bottoms of these definable ranges using shorter term time frame clues ‘Around’ these zones, such as higher low’s or lower high’s. In this video I highlight one such trade plan that we executed in the room together involving the GBP/JPY. We identified a good deal of overlapping resistance around the 150.00 area on multiple time frames, then simply planned a low risk high reward short trade plan if and only IF we got a lower high to work with off this area, using a short term chart to zoom in. Sure enough it presented itself on a 2minute chart, a Lower High, with just 15 pips or so risk (very low risk on GBP/JPY), and a reward likely of 60-70 pips it was too hard to resist. As it were this trade dropped to around 40ish pip profit before pulling back near to entry for one final chance to get in or reload it, then fell for the remainder of the range/scalp trade right to our rising trend line. Hey take what you can get, we were ‘Scraping’ for our pips today, so a 60 pip trade was considered a Monster! =). Hopefully NY will kick it up a notch.

London started off kind of slow today and we bounced around a bit looking for strength versus weakness. Most of us were in some sort of a British Pound long from late in the pre-London session, but we were starting to see some clues of exhaustion, time to take some profit, or protect pips. Then we took notice of the GBP/JPY pair particularly starting to show short term MACD divergence pretty much exactly when it was hitting it’s Daily 200ema, previous swing high on the Daily chart, as well as the Weekly M4 reversal pivot point. While none of us wanted to pick a top, that divergence at that resistance was such a clue of a possible impending short trade plan, that any Lower High development on this short term chart was reason enough to give the short a shot with a higher high stop, 20 pips risk or so, targeting about a 40-50 pip move before we reached support again, and we also had British GDP approaching in a half hour or so. The EUR/GBP was also showing a double bottom at 90 cents, as even cable had a short term lower high. This was starting to smell of GBP sell off just before news. Just before the news came out we were 55 pips or so in profit on the GBP/JPY short, definitely protect break even at minimum as news could evaporate all of it, or even take some partial profit. Well the GDP came out negative and Whammo, British Pound ‘Everything’ plummeted 200 pips in no time at all. So what started out as a conservative lower high off resistance trade attempt, turned into a 300 pip trade by the end, or much more if you were in all the GBP pairs. Simply an amazing way to finish a fantastic week, and a reminder to all of us why you let profits run once you have break even or MAP (minimal acceptable performance 15-20 pips) locked in. You never know which trade will be the monster like this. Have a great weekend folks!

Yesterday we enjoyed quite a Piptopia on the British Pound breakout of a Daily trendline to the upside. Sure enough, today was our opportunity in London to short it back down to the trendline retest. Pre-London gave us our first lower high to work with on the GBP/USD, and the 2hr EUR/GBP started developing a higher low to give us confidence in the move. The rest of the London session was spent reloading shorts at every Fibonacci pullback possible and turning a 100 or so pip move into a 250 pip play due to exponential reloads, I just love days like this, purely technical. Bad Retail Sales for Britain helped finish the job and there we were, right on our target zone to take profit, could not script it better really.

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!
