dull monday...

0 comments Monday, October 5, 2009
After the crazy NFP's price action last Friday, today's price movement is a dull affair. No trade today as I was waiting all day for the price to break out of the no man's land.

Until a breakout occurs, the price will be in consolidation mode within the two yellow trendlines. Below is the H4 chart as of 9.30 pm Malaysia.

go bears go

The bears are now in charge of the market. I have been selling on rallies even though the past fews days' price actions were quite annoying.

Now I will ride the profit from the half position from the shooting star set up that I mentioned here.

Simple rules in forex trading - in a bear market, just sell the rallies... in a bull market, buy the dips.

Below is the hourly chart as of 8.10 am Malaysia. Expecting a slight bounce at 142.00 before the the beast continues downwards journey....

A bear flag formation has been completed on the H4 chart. The pole height indicates a possibility that the beast might begin it's southwards journey to 133.xx region..... scary, isn't it???

Below is the H4 chart at New York closing today (5 am Malaysia).

shooting star??

A shooting star candlestick has formed on the hourly chart. I went short early based on the 15 min chart price action.

A stop is placed slightly above the swing high.... in case, I am wrong. Will trail the stop once the post is in green.

Below is the hourly chart as of 9 am Malaysia.


UPDATE: The beast keeps ranging with neither bulls nor bears are really in control. However, the bears camp has the slight advantage now as the bearish flag has been broken...

I managed to take partial profits and will break even should the stop-loss is hit on the remaining lot. Below is the hourly chart at 3 am Malaysia (17 hours later!!!!)

southwards again??

0 comments Tuesday, September 29, 2009
Since the trend is down, I stayed out during the 300 pip upwards move and patiently wait for the bulls exhaustion.

I went short when the price broke the ascending wedge slightly before London opening; and now already in green.....

Below is the hourly chart at 3 pm Malaysia.


UPDATE: Price managed to drop about 90 pips before good CBI Realized Sales data at 5.30 pm pushed the beast up...
