Quick scalp for 10 pips on GBP/USD

August 6th, 2008 Mark Gavalda No comments

I spotted a “channel” on GBP/USD and when we reached the resistance line last time at 1.9545 I went short and exited at 1.9535 because the movement became flat. I will reenter at the bottom or if a breakout happens.

Took profit at +16pips overnight

August 6th, 2008 Mark Gavalda No comments

My GBP/USD buy position was closed while I was sleeping, because I put on a 15pips trailing stop, just in case. Price is very volatile this morning so I don’t have any problems with this 16 points profit now. We’re at a trendline support now which also formed during the night, if price breaks out to the downside I might consider a short position.

Going long on GBP/USD @ 1.9540

August 5th, 2008 Mark Gavalda No comments

Hey guys, Seems like there’s a good support at 1.9525, so I went long now at 1.9540, with a S/L at 1.9515 and TP up in the sky. Maybe we’ll see some retracement after they decided to hold USD rates at 2%…

Going short on E/U with a light position

July 30th, 2008 Mark Gavalda No comments

It looks like the TL on USD/CHF was confirmed and price bounced, I can see some reversal candles on EUR/USD charts so I’m going with a light position (I would like to add more at the aforementioned resistance lines) @ 1.5605, target about 30pips then we’ll see.

False break-out on USD/CHF, maybe going down

July 30th, 2008 Mark Gavalda No comments

There was a false breakout (in my book) today morning on USD/CHF M15 charts, and now it looks like we have a double top formed, this two indications could mean further slide down, which eventually means EUR/USD is going up. We’re reaching the TL formed overnight on U/C and if it doesn’t hold, I will enter with a short position.

Cashing in on USD/CHF and EUR/USD

July 25th, 2008 Mark Gavalda No comments

I like when trading tips I give out on my blog and across the internet turn out to be serious cash machines… I hope you were also able to cash in on the short trade taken on the USD/CHF and I also entered EUR/USD which came into profit lately.

We reached 38% with the USD/CHF retracement normally I would take partial profit here, but given that it’s Friday and I don’t really like to have open positions during the weekend I exited completely. There is a _very good_ chance that the fall will continue however I’m happy with this profit right now.

USD/CHF hit a hard resistance

July 25th, 2008 Mark Gavalda No comments

The USD/CHF pair hit a hard resistance level at 1.0400 and a retrace would mean shorting USD across the board. But maybe that won’t come until next week! Anyways it is a high probability shorting opportunity on USD/CHF because the m30 chart shooting star candle, and this resistance line. Not to mention that we’re trading at extreme overbought levels right now… I would say 77% sure trade.

Support now at 1.5700 going long for a bit

July 25th, 2008 Mark Gavalda No comments

I know New Home Sales report is coming out in an hour, but this is also a high probability trade in my opinion and I would beat myself up if I wouldn’t take it. So I’m going long around 1.5700 on eur/usd… Let’s hope that the bulls win :)

Closing EUR/USD sell for 30pips profit!

July 25th, 2008 Mark Gavalda No comments

For +30pips profit @ 1.5700. Okay, news helped “a bit” but finally it was a very high probability trade (which I wrote about a post before) and I took my chances with a pretty heavy lot size. And I’m so glad I did it ;) Eur/usd bumped into the rising trendline I posted on my charts (the blue one) maybe it won’t be powerful enough to brake it. News violation is not important in my book.

My plan for tonight

July 22nd, 2008 Mark Gavalda No comments

Okay one more post, I was thinking about EUR/USD a bit and after a short analysis I came up with this idea, it should complete this during Asian or not later than London session tomorrow. Just a hint, don’t take it too seriously. :)
