Brend's trading ideas

GBPJPY Should Fall Lower

U.K. economy is weak, I think GBP has to fall further, here are the reasons why:

Housing prices have been falling. They had slided 9 percent this year alone. That is the worst drop in 15 years. Central Bank chief Mervyn King says it has further to go.

Falling house prices and higher food and energy costs are going to dampen consumer spending even more in the coming months.

The British have taken on a record 1.4 trillion pounds ($2.8 trillion) in debt. And those borrowing costs arent getting any cheaper.

Bank of England policy maker David Blanchflower said job losses will triple as the economy slows.

So we should see British pound going lower.

My system has signaled SELL on GBPJPY.

Shorted 10,000 GBPJPY at 186.18
Stop level at 188.26
Target level at 183.31

Stop triggered. :mad:
 
Shorted My Favourite Currency Pair again

My favourite currency pair is USDJPY because it has helped me to make money on several trades already.

As long as financial crisis is not over, hedge funds will continue to unwind their carry trades. Fear in the financial market will strengthen Yen.

My mid-term target price for USDJPY is 104, I believe we will see this level before end of the year.

My system is still signal SELL for USDJPY. If anyone is interested to know my trading system, send a PM (Personal message) to me.

Shorted 20,000 USDJPY at 107.40
Stop level at 108.50
Target level at 106.10

Shorted 20,000 USDJPY at 107.40
Stop level at 108.50
Target level at 106.10

Last Friday I had shorted 20,000 USDJPY at 107.40, stop level at 108.50, target level at 106.10.

Today in the early Asia hours, target level of 106.10 was reached, so my position was closed with 130 pips profit, US$236.06.

This news has triggered the sharp fall in USDJPY:

Key investors Bank of America and Barclays Plc have reportedly decided not to buy troubled investment bank Lehman Brothers this morning. Barclays walked away from the deal after they could not obtain government protection from loses on Lehman's assets.
 
75% Success Rate From My Forex Trading System

I believe that to trade forex successfully over a longer period of time, a proven trading system is the answer.

After years of building systems, testings, modifications, and more testings, I had finally created a trading system that had helped me to achieve more than 70% success rate in forex trading.


Below are trades executed based on my trading system:

9 winning trades and 3 losing trades

1. On 10 September I had shorted 10,000 GBPJPY at 186.18, stop level at 188.26, target level at 183.31. GBPJPY rises above 188.26, so my stop is triggered.

2. On 8 September I had shorted 20,000 USDJPY at 108.43, stop level at 110.00, target level at 106.94. USDJPY went below 106.94, reached my target level, so position is closed. Profit is 143 pips, US$264.44.

3. On 5 September I had shorted 10,000 USDCAD at 1.0654, target level at 1.0487. Details here. Support level at 1.0550 creates a rebound for USDCAD, not taking any chance I decide to take profit first. Bought back USDCAD at 1.0570, profit is up 84 pips, US$78.57.

4. On 3 September I had shorted 10,000 USDCHF at 1.1078, stop level at 1.1182, target level at 1.0932. USDCHF rise above 1.1182, so my stop triggered. Loss amount is US$104.

5. On 4 September I had shorted 10,000 USDJPY at 108.18, stop level at 109.30, target level at 106.91. USDJPY slided down, I decide to take profit first as tomorrow US is going to announce Non-Farm Payroll. Bought back at 107.43, profit is 75 pips, US$69.81.

6. On 2 September I had shorted 10,000 USDJPY at 108.82, stop level at 109.85, target level at 106.85. The whole forex environment turns 360% today, decided to take profit on USDJPY first. Bought back at 108.40, profit is up 42 pips, US$35.75.

7. On 29 August I had shorted 10,000 EURGBP at 0.8105, stop level at 0.8208, target level at 0.7909. EURGBP keeps going up, so I decide to cut loss. Bought back at 0.8154. loss is US$85.59.

8. On 1 September I had shorted 10,000 NZDUSD at 0.6962, stop level at 0.7080, target level at 0.6766. NZDUSD fell to a low of 0.6805 before rebounding up. I believe the overall trend for NZDUSD is still down, but it is oversold now, so we may see a rebound. I decided to take profit first, bought back at 0.6871, profit is 91 pips, US$90.60.

9. On 1 September I had shorted 10,000 USDJPY at 109.53, stop level at 11.46, target level at 108.20.

10. On 26 August I had shorted NZDUSD at 0.6970, stop level at 0.6673, target level at 0.6673. Seeing that USD started to weaken, I decided to take profit on NZDUSD at 0.6936, profit is US$34.

Great friend keep it going. Can you share some of your experience regarding you trades.
 
Great friend keep it going. Can you share some of your experience regarding you trades.

Sharing experience, ok. I think you are the 1st guy who bother to ask me to share my experience.

I used to be commodity sales trader (trading copper, nickel, tin, zinc, lead, corn, gold, silver, crude oil), and at that time I thought that making money from forex was impossible.

This was because many a times I got stopped out on my forex trades. The fundamental can be pointing to a weak USD, but some news along the way (economic news from Europe, US, or corporate news) can create a change of trend, resulting my position being stopped out. So after some losses, and only 10% success rate, I decided to give up forex trading.

After few years as commodity sales, I moved on to a hedge fund as a commodity trader. This is a normal trend in the trading industry, sales people gets peanuts, while traders in hedge funds are earning big bucks.

But somehow US is against speculation on oil, and agriculture products. Hence my company (hedge fund) has difficulty in getting a trading license approval from CFTC. So my trading director puts me into forex team instead.

So I am to learn fast. I have seen my colleagues who have 20 - 30 years experience in the forex industry gets punished by the market because they hold on to some of their stubborn views.

Their stubborn views include:
1. USD is a junk currency, we should never go long on USD. So they bought AUDUSD, NZDUSD instead and make huge losses, but still they hold on to their view that USD is a junk currency.

2. Never enter a negative carry trade.
When you buy AUDUSD, you earn interest, this is call position carry.
When you short AUDUSD, you pay interest, this is call negative carry.
So they never short AUD/USD, so they lost a lot of profitable trading opportunities. AUDUSD is already down 40% from the peak. (If you do not short and bought AUDUSD instead, just imagine your loss based on 200 times leverage).

Eventually my conclusion is that, never be stubborn with you view.

In my mind I was thinking, if 20 - 30 years forex trader cannot make money in this kind of wild market, I better create a system, and follow the system faithfully. But to create a profitable system is never easy. My senior colleagues laughed at me, they said if you can make money from forex trading by following a system, then many traders would have made money.

I rejected that view. If I can create a profitable system in commodity trading, I can do the same in forex trading.

After years of testing, modifying, retest, and remodifying, finally I managed to create a trading system that allows me to achieve more than 70% success rate in forex trading. This can be seen in my forex trading journal: Forex & Binary Trading

US May pending home sales is negative 4.7%, worse than expectation of negative 3%. To me this is a lousy data for USD, so I decide to take profit on USDCHF, sold at 1.0286. Profit is US$223.60.

At the point of writing this, USDCHF is still going up. So traders may want to monitor the position yourself to get a better selling level.
