A Forex Diary

Second week in January 2011 Overview

2011-01-08T09:20:00.001+08:00

AUD/USD
There may be further down looking at the large past week candle. Might be shorting it if it breaks, re-test the trendline and also breaking the 0.9850 area.

USD/JPY
The previous week candle displays a BUOB but on the Friday candle, it ended up as a not that perfect bearish pinbar. Might be taking a short if it goes does and retest the 83.00 area.

EUR/USD
The previous week candle ended up as Bearish Outside Bar (BEOB). It may go further down but will only go short if it passes the 1.2850 area.

GBP/JPY
Previous week candle was a Bullish Outside Bar (BUOB). There may be possible long if it pierce through the 129.50 - 130.00 area depending on the price action. But may be risky since it is still on a down trend when looking from a zoomed out chart.

NZD/USD
Previous week bar looks like an inside bar. It may may north or south but looking at the daily bar, it might go down. Might be shorting if it retest 0.7650 but also depending on the price action. Caution should be taken since it still on an up trend.

*Note: Remember to watch out to not get caught in between of co-related pairs.

Possible trades on Monday?

2010-06-05T15:02:00.004+08:00

There are 2 trades that I may take on Monday. First is the CHF/JPY. Price has broken through the trendline and also the 79.00 area. But the stop loss may be too wide if I were to put it above that long candle. This time, if I'm taking this trade, I will try to trail it as far as possible that's if price does go my way.

The second pair I'm watching is the EUR/CAD. The reasons being, price has pierce through 1.2600 and the pin bar looks not too bad. It may be good for long but if I'm taking, I'll take it with extra caution since it's against the trend.

GBP/USD Observation

2010-06-04T07:24:00.002+08:00

The GPB/USD pair may be good for short but i am going to pass on this one. Because:
1. NFP is coming out today although the predicted numbers in FF shows strength for USD.
2. There may be a hurdle at 1.4500

Just some thoughts. So for now, I'll just wait for the candle to close to see if there are any good setups.

2010-05-31T06:45:00.001+08:00

Stop Loss: 79.60

USD/JPY & CHF/JPY Observation

2010-05-30T09:18:00.003+08:00

I might be taking short on these 2 pair for the coming week. If you zoom nearer at the USD/JPY chart, the candlestick may not look as good. It looks more like an uncertain candle. But if price does move down to the low of the candle, i might be shorting it.

As for the CHF/JPY pair, price pierce through the 79.00 which is some what an important level if you zoom out from the weekly timeframe.

2010-05-19T06:56:00.004+08:00

The USD/JPY, EURF/CHF, USD/CAD trades does not look good at the moment. Seems like they are all heading towards my stop loss. Maybe i have made the wrong decision again for all 3 trades. We will see. Oh well.. This again reminds myself to look for stronger reasons to take the next trade.
