GBP/USD 29 FEBRUARY 2012



GBP/USD - follow me on twitter @fxdailyforecast
Price gave us the bearish cs formation we were looking for yesterday, fell a bit and then bounced to take out our stop for a 38 pip loss. We could not immediately go long since the stop on the bounce was too big.

FOR TODAY:
Price has now reached the 5928 target set a few days ago. We have not taken the level out significantly as yet, so a bearish cs formation at current levels will initiate a short trade setup.

A sustained break of 5936 will open the upside.

SHORT: Will be going short only IF:
We did get another bearish cs formation from current levels and we are short currently as of 06h00GMT,  telling us that the level is holding, this will probably drive price lower. Stops above the high of the cs formation.

If we don’t get the setup we are looking for then we don’t trade.

LONG: Will be going long today only IF:
We get a dip and a bullish cs formation, maybe at yesterday’s lows around 5800, or lower down. Place stop below the low and limit out for 70 pips.

If we don’t get the setup we are looking for then we don’t trade.

EUR/USD 29 FEBRUARY 2012

Euro gave us a bearish cs formation yesterday after hitting the BF786, we exited that trade last night with a 27 pip loss.

FOR TODAY:
We are still in sell territory with price still inside the B high, price just gave us a bearish cs formation, we are in short at 06h00GMT.

A sustained break of the 3485 high negates this outlook and gives us a new AB swing in play.

SHORT: WILL ONLY BE GOING SHORT IF:
Price gave us a bearish cs formation and we are short this pair. Stop is 13 pips above the high of the cs formation, limits will be 70 pips.

If we don’t get the cs formations we are looking for then we don’t trade.

LONG: WILL ONLY BE GOING LONG TODAY IF
We need price to bounce off the 3366 lows followed by a bullish cs formation – this will be a DD entry and will be good for 100 pip rally, else we looking for support lower down at the 618/786 followed by a bullish cs formation. Stop 10 pips below the low of the cs formation, limits for the 618 entry will be 70 pips, and the 786 will be a ST.

If we don’t get the setup we are looking for then we don’t trade.

AUD/USD 29 FEBRUARY 2012 - 4H CHART BELOW



AUD/USD - follow me on twitter @fxdailyforecast
We did get the bearish cs formation at the 86 highs yesterday, price fell and bounced in the US session, we exited the trade with 3 pips profit as per post.

FOR TODAY:
Price has not taken the high out on a sustained basis. We have a bearish cs formation on the 1h chart which we traded short. It’s a small stop we have in place above the high.

A sustained break of 1.0815 opens the upside, starting a reversal on this timeframe.

SHORT: Will be going short only IF:
We are short on the bearish cs formation as at 06h00 GMT. Stops 14 pips above the cs formation, max 1.5% risk, Limits are lower down, will wait and see how far the cs can drive price lower.

If we don’t get the set-up we are looking for then we don’t trade.

LONG: Will be going long today only IF:
We need price down at yesterday’s lows, or the BF786 followed by a bullish cs formation for a long entry. This entry will be good for 60-70 pips. Stop 10 pips below the low of the cs formation.

No trade setup on Sterling yesterday, price consolidated after finding resistance at the 5900 level.

FOR TODAY:
I’m still of the view that price is heading for 5928, We will still look to buy  dips after bullish cs formations until price reaches 5918/5928.

Only a clear bearish cs formation at the 5900 level negates.

SHORT: Will be going short only IF:
We get a test of the 5900 price level and then get another bearish cs formation, telling us that the level is holding, this will probably drive price down to the 5650 area again.

If we don’t get the setup we are looking for then we don’t trade.

LONG: Will be going long today only IF:
We still looking for price to extend towards the 5918/28 level. We are looking to buy dips after bullish cs formations. We will trade this entry as a ST to the 5900/5918 price level over coming sessions. Stops 10 pips below the low of the cs formation.

EUR/USD 28 FEBRUARY 2012



EUR/USD – follow me on twitter @fxdailyforecast
No trade setup on Euro yesterday, price fell during the UK session and bounced off the 382 fib.

FOR TODAY:
We will look to short the Euro if price reaches the BF786 and then gives us a bearish cs formation.

Else if price rallies and takes out the 3485 high then we will have no trade setup, but a new AB swing in play and resumption of up-trend on this time frame.

SHORT: WILL ONLY BE GOING SHORT IF:
We need price to hit the BF786, or higher while still inside the 3485 highs, followed by a bearish sc formation for a short trade setup. Place stop 13 pips above the high of the cs formation, limits will be 70 pips.

If we don’t get the cs formations we are looking for then we don’t trade.

LONG: WILL ONLY BE GOING LONG TODAY IF
We need price to bounce off the 3366 lows followed by a bullish cs formation – this will be a DD entry and will be good for 100 pip rally, else we looking for support lower down at the 618/786 followed by a bullish cs formation.

FOR TODAY:
Price is at the 86 of the AB downswing, we are in sell territory, we will sell a clear bearish cs formation from current levels or while inside the 1.0815 highs.

A break of 1.0815 negates this outlook and opens the upside, starting a reversal on this timeframe.

SHORT: Will be going short only IF:
We get a bearish cs formation from current levels or while inside the 1.0815 A high. Stops 14 pips above the cs formation, max 1.5% risk, limits for this entry will be at the BF786, being a ST.

No trade setup on Aussie yesterday, but the failure at 1.0600 did push price deeper into the AB swing.

GBP/USD 23 FEBRUARY 2012



GBP/USD - follow me on twitter @fxdailyforecast
Price gave us the bearish sc formation we were looking for yesterday and we went short on that trade setup. We were limited out on both trades, first one was 136 pips, second trade was 65 pips, for a total of 201 pips profit.

FOR TODAY:
Price fell past the BF786 to the B support low. A bullish cs from current levels or maybe after a test of the low will signal a rally towards 5900/5920 over coming sessions. 

A break of 5644 negates this view and opens the downside.

SHORT: Will be going short only IF:
No short trade setups, we need price much higher for a short trade setup. If price falls and takes out the 5644 B low then we wait for a B to form, followed by a retracement to the 618/786 for a short set-up.

If we don’t get the setup we are looking for then we don’t trade.

LONG: Will be going long today only IF:
We are in long territory, failure to take out the 5644 B low will signal a long trade. We will wait and see if we get a test of the low during the UK session followed by a clear bullish cs formation. We will trade this entry as a ST to the 5900/5920 price level over coming sessions. Stops 10 pips below the low of the cs formation.

If we don’t get the setup we are looking for then we don’t trade.

Price is going sideways, and as mentioned yesterday, we need a break of either the high at 3292/3300, or the low at 3186 on a closing basis to give us some direction.

SHORT: WILL ONLY BE GOING SHORT IF:
No short setups, need more clarity, will wait for a break as mentioned above, until then stand aside.

AUD/USD - follow me on twitter @fxdailyforecast
No trade setup on Aussie yesterday, price was rather sideways yesterday and seems to be finding a base at 1.0600 since we have bounced off that level three times in last few trading sessions.

FOR TODAY:
The bounce out of 1.0600 during the Asian session might be the signal here that price is heading deeper into the AB swing. We will go long on a test of the overnight low followed by a bullish cs formation.

Else if price keeps falling and breaks the 1.0600 on a sustained basis then we will have a new AB swing in play.

SHORT: Will be going short only IF:
We need a clear bearish cs formation after price retraces to the 618/786 of this swing for a short trade. Stops 14 pips above the cs formation, max 1.5% risk, limits for the 618 will be 60-70 pips, and the 786 will be a ST to the BF786.

Today we have a DABF786 trading day where we are looking for price to rally to the 1.0823 high, then maybe onto 1.0843. We have our limits set 10 pips inside the 1.0823 high at 1.0813. We will look to buy dips to 1.0813 after bullish cs formations.

SHORT: Will be going short only IF:
We need a test of the Asian highs or higher at 1.0823/43 and a bearish cs formation for a short trade. Stops 14 pips above the cs formation, max 1.5% risk, limits will be at the BF786.

If we don’t get the setup we are looking for then we don’t trade.

LONG: Will be going long today only IF:
We are looking for dips to buy into after bullish cs formations.  Place stops 10 pips below the low of the cs formation, max 1.5% risk, limits set at 1.0813, this will be a ST.

If we don’t get the setup we are looking for then we don’t trade.

No trade setup on GBP yesterday, price did hit the BF786 during the Asian session though.

FOR TODAY:
We are at the BF786, today we will be looking for a bullish cs formation telling us that support at 5644 is holding.
Else a sustained break of the low on a closing basis will give us a new AB swing.

SHORT: Will be going short only IF:
We need price up at yesterday’s highs, or at the 618/786 and a bearish sc formation for a short trade setup. Place stop 14 pips above the high of the cs formation, max1.5% risk. Limits will be 60-70 pips and a 786 entry will be a ST to the BF786.

If we don’t get the setup we are looking for then we don’t trade.

LONG: Will be going long today only IF:
We are in BF786 territory at present, so a clear bullish cs formation will initiate a long trade setup. Place stop 10 pips below the low of the cs formation, max 1.5% risk, limits will be 70 pips.

If we don’t get the setup we are looking for then we don’t trade.

EUR/USD 16 FEBRUARY 2012



EUR/USD
As per yesterday's analysis, we entered short after the bearsh cs formation and limited out at 50 pips profit. Price went on to take out the B low giving us a new AB swing.

FOR TODAY:
We have to wait for a B to form, only once we have a B can we ascertain where the 618/786 will be for short entries.

SHORT: WILL ONLY BE GOING SHORT IF:
We first need a B to form, and then we need price to retrace to the 618/786 and then give us a bearish cs formation for a short trade setup. Stop above the high of the cs formation, max 1.5% risk, limits will be defined later.

If we don’t get the cs formations we are looking for then we don’t trade.

LONG: WILL ONLY BE GOING LONG TODAY IF
We need a B to form, so no long set-ups in this session. Will tweet if something develops during US session.

If we don’t get the setup we are looking for then we don’t trade.
