A little down time

I’ve had some horrendous computer problems last week starting with my primary SSD dieing, the replacement SSD causing BSOD, monitor failing… haha!!    If you didn’t laugh, you’d cry! I’m also going into surgery on my birthday (tomorrow). Nothing major (i hope), but still… on your birthday? lol. Rough couple of weeks. So i’m going [...]

CTS Trade 10 – AUD/USD

In my opinion there is a nice trade on the AUD/USD 4HR which is currently near major structure. The pair has divergence on the RSI and the risk to reward ratio is great.   CTS Score and Checklist RSI Overbought = 1 point Previous major structure = 2 points Divergence – 1 point Total score [...]

Really want to short the cable… but..

Id really love to short the cable here but not finding enough reasons to want to pull the trigger. There is divergence on the RSI but the pair has looked bullish for some time. Market has been choppy over the last couple of days and i believe the pair needs to make a solid break [...]

Potential long trade on USDCAD

Have been watching the USDCAD on the daily as it moves lower and there’s a rough Gartley pattern forming. There are nice harmonics and ratio confluence. Would be a nice risk to reward ratio on this one too. I will look to buy USDCAD if price enters the blue reversal zone and i see some [...]

“The freedom and simple beauty is too good to pass up… “

I’m planning to do a hiking trip with two of my work mates in the next couple of weeks (Friday 10th Feb – Sunday 12th Feb). We’ll be heading into the Kosciusko National Park and either staying in a hut (if it’s still there), or camping by the lake and fishing at Tantangra. For me, [...]

PLT Trade 09 Gone wrong. How not to do it.

I totally bungled this trade alert from PLT adding to the frustration of my trading yesterday. Here’s what went wrong. 1) I misread the trade alert and entered about 10 pips sooner than i should have. Since price continued to drop, the trade was triggered regardless, so i got a slightly better entry. This wasn’t [...]

I mentioned the possible short trade on this pair yesterday. When i checked the pair at 3am this morning entering Conquer trades, i noticed that my blue sell zone was breached and price was reversing. I entered a short trade at that moment because the RSI had turned bearish and i believed the market was [...]

Potential short trade on AUD/USD

Have been watching this nice Gartley pattern develop on the AUD/USD Daily chart and its approaching entry zone (in blue). There’s also a 3 drives pattern present on the 4HR time frame (shown in darker blue in the photo below). So lots of reasons to be shorting the pair in that vicinity (RSI overbought, structure, [...]

CTS Trade 4 – NZD/USD

The cool thing about being connected with good traders, is that they tend to spot some of the same trades that you do and give you that little bit of extra confidence that your analysis is right. This trade was like that; i received a trade alert from Powerline Trader around the same time i [...]

CTS Trade 3 – GBP/USD

I entered this trade because it was a good risk to reward ratio. Market harmonics were clean, bearish Gartley  pattern, there was recent structure in the big number 1.5500 region, RSI was overbought. Plenty of reasons to enter short.                               However, [...]
