Forex scalping London -New York 29 7 2015

Forex scalping London -New York

Hello,
Today is an especially difficult day since we have FOMC.
Statistically these days are ranging and difficult to predict direction since everyone is waiting the FOMC to take direction.
We are starting early in the morning 30 minutes after Frankfurt open and we continue to scalp until London noon and then again in the New York open to see how we handle a difficult day.

DB outlines 4 reasons behind this view.1) Labour data. DB expects Australia's Thursday’s labor market data to beat the market consensus, with job growth of 15k in July leaving the unemployment rate unchanged at 6.0%.2) Rates re-pricing. While the RBA sounded less dovish at this week meeting, DB thinks market will start to re-price a 50bps of RBNZ easing at the next two meetings.3) Commodity prices. Although iron ore remains under pressure, DB argues that it remains a two-way market.4) Positioning. DB notes that while kiwi net shorts have been cut by 30% since early July, net shorts in AUD have increased by 130%, allowing for a meaningful squeeze.

After the July minutes highlighted that ‘for a number of members...absent [Greece], the decision…was becoming more finely balanced,’ it is possible that more than the two previous hawks (Weale and McCafferty) dissent, with Forbes and Miles possible candidates," DB projects."Dissenters or not, risks are asymmetric as market pricing is still too dovish. Less than a 20% probability of a hike is priced for year-end (versus over 80% for the Fed) and the first hike is not fully discounted until May next year. Yet growth in the UK has been stronger than over the Atlantic and the economy is actually generating wage pressures, unlike the US," DB adds.

We wait for a short term support and then in a step back motion the price moved to the equilibrium line offering us a chance to enter with a limit order for short scalp by ten pips at least.The order ignited and shortly afterwards the ten pips achieved.It was so quick that the breakeven move of our third part order didn't happened.We did move our stop manually and the third part closed shortly afterwards by offering + pips.You can watch the whole move and the trade in the following video.

forex scalping 14 8 2015

Hello,Today I have record for you a one hour video of the most trending hour in the New York session.It contains two forex scalping trades in gbpjpy one long and one short.I haven't trade at all in the European session due to obligations and I sat i front of my computer approximately 30 minutes after DOW open.After screening gbpusd ,eurjpy and gbpjpy I have concluded that my best chances were in gbpjpy.GBPJPY formed a consolidation and I was waiting for a long breakout since I had a long signal.Breakout happened and waited for a retracement in the breakout point in order to go long.Price retraced and gave me an entry.After almost 25 minutes the first scalping target of ten pips achieved moved the stop loss to breakeven and I was waiting to see some momentum. Momentum never came , the price retreated and hit the stop loss for the third part.Having my eyes for another opportunity I have trapped eurjpy in case it would come back in the 55 area to take my limit order to go short but in vain.Then I spotted the divergence in gbpjpy and placed the limit order 2 pips below the support area.The limit order activated, gbpjpy made some attempts to go up again and then bam the short momentumÂ* came hit my scalping target ,trailing was activated and after a brief run to +26 pips returned and close this order too.In the mean while I have add some to the position and left the remaining in to breakeven.Enjoy the video.

forex scalping 18 8 2015 European session

Hello,Difficult day today.I have lost 2 scalps in the Frankfurt and London open so the third trade gave me the breakeven in eurjpy.Made a video for the third trade which took my losses back and some profit from my last runner part.Enjoyhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NUYbbJV1Vu4The battlefield of eurjpy Here is also a tip from SOGEN concerning audusdAUD/USD: Weekly Hammer; EUR/USD: Persistence Within Triangle - SocGenAUD/USD has formed a weekly hammer near 0.72 which represents 76.4% retracement of 2008-2011 up move, notes SocGen."It is at the upper limit of a descending channel since May and is facing immediate resistance at 0.7450. With daily RSI breaching above a resistance trend, a recovery is likely," SocGen adds."A break above 0.7450 will mean a retest of recent lows at 0.7560/90 which remains pivotal for an extended rebound," SocGen argues.Turning to EUR/USD, SocGen notes that it has retraced after testing 34 week MA at 1.12."EUR/USD is forming a triangle after retracing from 1.1450/1.1536. Weekly RSI is below 50% graphical level which highlights persistence within triangle," SocGen adds."Triangle upper limit at 1.1385/1.14 should provide strong resistance to a recovery while 1.0865/1.08 decides if retest of 1.05/1.04 happens," SocGen projects.

the Three pairs we trade main charts today

EURJPY

GBPUSD

daily chart

The GBPUSD rallied yesterday after previous days brief rotation lower. We have been calling the GBPUSD long on pullbacks for a number of weeks now and we are still very bullish on this market. If you’re not already long, you can continue to look to be a buyer on any weakness whilst price is above that key support zone down between 1.5535 – 1.5465. We see the potential for price to break up and move higher in the coming weeks and re-test the highs up near 1.5920 area.

forex scalping the gbpusd 21 8 2015

Low range. Little changed

While the EURUSD moved higher. The USDJPY and USDCHF tumbled lower with high to low trading ranges that well exceeded the averages over the last 22 trading days, the GBPUSD traded in a 65 pips trading range (the average is 104 pips, and is just 9 pips higher from the close.

The bullish is the pair has been able to stay above the 100 hour MA (blue line in the chart above). The bearish slant is the lack of momentum when the rest of the market was selling dollars quite freely. Also, the highs today at 1.5722 took out the August 18 high of 1.5716 by only a few pips. Where are the buyers.

Despite that lack of momentum, the sellers are not exactly lighting the world on fire. As a result, I will defer to the bulls as those in control. Traders will keep that wary eye on failures above - just like they did today - but until the seller are able to push below the 100 hour MA and 200 hour MA (green line in the chart above), the selling is just corrective.

We managed to take a scalp in the American session but this didn't develop in intraday trade

forex scalping technics-Seven steps to forex scalping success

Hello,

Today is Sunday so I have decided to make a seven part series videos which will talk about the most important forex scalping technics .

Sorry for my English but is not my mother language.

The first part is about your trading room setup.

The main and auxiliary computers.

The characteristics that your main pc must have.

Suggested setup for your main pc

I am not running after stupid updates of Microsoft.

Many brokers and banks stilluse windows xp because they are stable.

End of support ?So what if I don't use it for surfing and there is no email!

If your computer has only the platform, the operational system and the tools(eg excel) you use for trading there is no problem.

Even if you use it for surfing and you have nod32 security and malaware bytes again no problem.

The system is stable as long as you don't go to bad neighborhoods and you use it mainly for forex scalping.

Now lets see what your main "box" must have

Big high quality box with lots of fans and space for at least three hard disks(100-150 euros)

Main board and chips Intel the fastest and the best quality for windows XP Proffesional you can buy.

Low voltage power supply above medium quality (from 100 euros and above)

Graphic card with two monitor exits (from 100 euros and above)

4 gigs ram.

Hard disks.

Main disk SSD 120 gigs is a very good option.

Auxiliary mechanical hard disk between 1-2 terra for keeping your large files.

Backup disk mechanical for weekly cloning of your main disk equal or greater from your main disk. (I use Acronis for this procedure)

Keyboard mouse wired suggested brand Logitech or Microsoft

Stand alone mic and cheap speakers is all you need to communicate with Skype

Mouse pad gaming quality (I use mouse pad steel series, Google )

Two Monitors 22'' (I use lg)

What I propose for your notebook

I don't prefer the great brands. Long time to service response,high cost to upgrade and spare parts only from them.

I prefer an OEM notebook from the best service in town.

I custom order it with high quality components and I ensure that I have 24 hours repair guaranty.

Intel components, 4 gigs, SSD disk.

After the initial setup and program platform setups, settings I move the SSD disk to my main and I perform the clone procedure to another disk so whatever happens in the notebook hard disk I have a ready one setup hard disk to start from.

Finally I use synergy in both main and notebook.

A multifunction printer scanner copier fax suggested brand HP ,INK JET

A UPS to protect your equipment from power interruptions ,your router must be plugged there also so in case of interruption to have internet and computers on to handle your positions.Batteries must be changed in UPS every 2-3 years or you will not be protected.

These are the basics there are more software tools when I do this procedure in detail but if you perform the above you are in the correct way.

All this procedure I perform to my clients handheld through skype and teamvewer and it takes from 15 days to a month to setup all this and have them to become computer savvy in the whole procedure.

Lock your door ,close your telephone and you are ready for live trading.

If you have any questions feel free to ask.

forex scalping pound yen

The yen jumped on the market on Monday boosted by risk aversion and had the best day in years. GBP/JPY dropped dramatically and is about to end the session hovering around 187.50, down more than 2%.
GBP/JPY far from lows
Despite having one of the worst days in months, the pair is about to end far from the lows. At certain point, GBP/JPY dropped dramatically and bottomed at 183.06, 3-month lows and 820 pips below Friday’s closing price. Afterwards rebounded rising 400 pips from the lows.
The recovery from 183 found resistance around the 188.00 area. The pair could continue to recover if equities rebound during Tuesday’s Asian session. But the global selloff in stock markets on Monday pushed the pair below key support levels, weakening the outlook for the pound.
GBP/JPY technical levels
To the downside, support levels now could be located at 186.90, 186.10 and 184.95 (July 8 low). On the opposite direction, resistance might be seen at 188.10, 189.30 and 190.90.
Forget the tech levels unless they are long term and strong. Let the price be the guide
We often preach about watching the price action and in markets like this it is the best guide
If you want to trade then let the price speak and let it build the picture for you. Anything else is guess work.
We took a long scalp initially in Frankfurt open were we took the first ten pips and stopped out in the third part.
In the American session we took a long scalp achieved the first tewn plus pips for the first two parts and then 70 plus pips for the third part
The battlefield today for the three pairs we follow and the signals they gave in London and New York opening in main charts.
Unlucky for me I wasn't in the desk during the great moves.

forex scalping conversion to intraday trade GBPJPY

Here is a respectable opinion about the yesterday huge volatility
enjoy:

"'Yesterday we said about almost ignoring the tech for the price action but what do we do after the huge moves ?

There are three main stages to these types of huge moves we saw.

What we do when they look like happening?
What we do while they're happening?
What we do after they happen?

What do we do when they look like happening?

It's advisable to pull ourselves out from the lower time frames and look at the higher ones. Forget the short term tech and look at the longer term stuff. They hold greater strength and provide a lower risk way to trade outside of the intraday noise

Let's take USDJPY and the fibs I highlighted yesterday

USDJPY daily chart

Any of those first three fibs were trad able. Of course having the guts to do it when the proverbial is hitting the fan is the key. Also, I don't think there were many of us who thought we'd see such volatile moves anyway, so who's going to stick an order in 300-500 pips below the market just in case we get a move like that? The main point is that if you have the tech levels drawn up there's no reason why you can't trade them. You've reduced the noise and could get yourself into a very healthy trade

What do we do while they are happening?

This is the stage I highlighted yesterday with the Dow. Now we can come down to the lower time frames. Take a blank page and let the price action build the tech for you. Let it show you where the market is buying and selling and when you've built up a good enough picture you have your levels to trade. There's no need to be a hero but you have your lower risk entry points, your levels to lean against. Trading doesn't get much more live than watching a 5 or 10 minute chart and deciphering the price action where moves are much bigger than normal

What do we do after?

Can we get back to normal? That's what we need to look for. The normal intraday/short term tech may have been blown out of the water but now it's time to see how much of it reasserts itself

1.1450 was level I was looking at in EURUSD yesterday just before it all kicked off. Today we tested it and bounced over 50 pips, then held it for a while before breaking. We've now seen yesterday's low support taken out and become resistance

Slowly the short term tech comes back into play. Plenty of caution is still needed but we can start to move back to trading normally as the dust settles

Reacting to markets is all part of trading but once again, having some simple rules can make it the difference between feeling like you're in the middle of a tornado and being in control""

A simple rule you can remember is that after great volatility ranging follows until the dust is settled.

We lost a trade in London today but we have took our losses back and some profit in a scalping conversion to intraday trade 30 minutes before DOW open.
