The Pairs I'm looking at this week

Sun, 15 Jan 2012 20:28:31 -0600

It’s sunday night and it’s always a great time to review the trades of the past week and prepare for the upcoming week.

France lost its AAA credit rating. Although it is no surprise to many traders, the price of many currencies have not expressed this news yet.

AUD/USD is consolidating. most likely a short might be a better idea if the price breaks the lower trend line. I don’t have an entry point because I can’t figure out where to put a stop yet.
I will be keeping an eye on CAD/JPY. I got stopped out last week but I think it’s reverting back the mean.
CHF/JPY is setting up for a long IF support holds around 80.10
GBP/CAD has been retracing over the past couple of days, however the price did not reflect the France downgrade yet. I believe that a short might a good move if we can get an entry around 1.5720 with a stop-loss at 1.5790

Trade the market you see, not the one you want!

Good trading this week

Taking a break of trading for the summer.

Liquidity has dried up for the summer. Erratic movements in the currencies are present. That is a sign for me that the party is over. The rational traders are taking a break, so should I.

I will take the time to analyse the first half of the year and see how when september comes I can make my trading better.

Is it too late to get long the Swiss Franc?

Wed, 01 Jun 2011 22:08:00 -0500

Gold is climbing again towards its high after a big sell off over the past couple of weeks.

The dollar has seen a sell-off against the Euro since memorial day.

The Swiss Franc is getting stronger against all the major currencies. The fundamental of the Swiss economy are in alignment with the technical chart of the swissy.

The question is now which pair is better suited to take advantage of the strength of the currency.

GBP/CHF has seen a great drop but I would wait for a pull back to go short

EUR/CHF looks interesting at this level

USD/CHF shows a similar chart but the risk seems lower.

The Musings of Faith: Trade Through It:

faithmight:

I have to be brutally honest. My trading account has suffered this first half of the year. It’s been ugly and it has taken quite a toll on my confidence. Why should losses affect my psyche when it’s a part of the business. Because I’m human! Because I had a stellar 2010 in my trading. The past 6…
