Trading Forex – Currently Long on EUR/USD
Posted on 28. Jul, 2011 by Jakob.
In yesterday’s post I mentioned the 1.4430 level could be a possible level to look for a long trade, if we got confirmation in terms of candlestick formations or reasons in terms of confluence. The pair traded through that level pretty much without any hesitation and there was no apparent reason to go in long at that level, besides the aforementioned reasons of a key level of support lining up.

Trading Forex – Waiting For a Pullback on EUR/USD
Posted on 27. Jul, 2011 by Jakob.
After a recent break of the 1.4500 level on EUR/USD and a key trendline, a pullback seems like a good possibility which should give us a good chance to get in on a long trade. The pair currently trades around the 1.4520 level and a pullback down around the 1.4430 level could be a possible place to look for a long trade. As always, we don’t enter just because a level is reached, but we look for numerous of reasons for a possible trade, so if the pair does come down to the 1.4430 level, look for candlestick confirmations and zoom in on the short timeframes and keep an eye on price action.

EUR/USD – Currently Short
Posted on 28. Jun, 2011 by Jakob.
Yesterday we did have a fairly strong move to the upside on EUR/US but we didn’t reach the 1.4400 level, which is what I pointed out as a fairly good level for a possible short swing trade. A couple of minutes ago we did take a short trade on EUR/USD but this was based on an intraday signal following one of my strategies. If we can get some 30 – 40 pips of profit before London open we are likely to move our stop loss to break even and let the trade run, as we should be able to pick up probably around 100 pips. A move down today similar to the move up we had yesterday seems viable. However, as we are getting closer to the highly important Wednesday, I don’t think we will see a breach of the 1.4000 level before we see the result from Greece.
