MONTHLY RANGE PUTS EURO AUD AT MAJOR CROSSROADS

After completing a Bear Crown setup that led to a strong downtrend of over 1,000 Pips, the EURO AUD is now at a crossroads that could either lead to more gains for the Aussie or a strong trend change altogether.

The Chart below shows how this downtrend began, the breaks of the Uptrend Lines and the current Pennant setup that the pair has now formed. 


DAILY CHART













Bull and Bear Crowns as well as the breaks of Trend Lines are typically what we see when major trend changes take place. Traders can either enter at the start and hold trades for long periods or can aggressively trade the waves of the trend. As this trend continued to create lower lows, the Monthly Range of the pair was also breached. Trends that reach this important price point will either pause for a period before resuming the trend or change direction. In the chart below, we can see that this pause took the form of a Pennant that was eventually broken, indicating that we could see a continuation of the downtrend. 



 DAILY CHART















On the other hand, as we can also see from the chart above, the current Pennant that has been formed has moved the pair above the Inner Downtrend Line. This could indicate that the current downtrend may actually be coming to an end, given the slow and unconvincing breakout from the larger Pennant. Currency pairs can exceed their Monthly Ranges to give the impression that the trend will continue but the longer the trend takes to get going, the more likely that a trend change will take place. The chart below shows how these two scenarios could unfold.
DAILY CHART 
















A simple bearish breakout from the Pennant could be the signal required to continue the existing trend. If the candle given to start this breakout is strong enough, entry can take place there with the appropriate target of between 100 and 200 Pips. However, this Pennant may also be the Centre Tip of a possible Bull Crown that starts a new trend above the Downtrend Lines. One would have to wait for a Right Tip that completes the Bull Crown or another formation before considering entry to go long. Strong trend changes require strong setups and the current Pennant is not large enough to support a trend change. 


Only time will tell what takes place with this currency pair. Regardless of the ultimate direction, we can take advantage by patiently waiting on the appropriate Daily and 4 Hour Chart signals for profitable trades.

SHARP GBP USD RALLY PREDICTED 7 DAYS AGO

Image
As predicted several days ago, the GBP has rallied sharply above major Support area of 1,2000 to start an uptrend that will take it up to the 1,2750 area by Wednesday January 25th, 2017. This is all part of the predicted  formation of a Consolidation Setup on the Daily Chart. In the screen shot of the Private Video Tutorials sent to DRFX Subscribers (www.drfxswingtrading.com), you can see the blue line used to indicate where I expected the rally. PRIVATE VIDEO LESSON - JANUARY 10, 2017 In the screenshot and Youtube Video below of January 18, you can see that the rally took the form of a strong Bull Candle - exactly where I predicted. PRIVATE VIDEO LESSON JANUARY 18, 2017 This projected Consolidation is based on the type of bullish and bearish waves on the Daily Chart. From the Trading Manual, you will see that there are certain types of waves that tell us when the market will form a Consolidation.

STRATEGY NOW UP BY 23.78% WITH RECENT 2.00% USD CHF TRADE

Image
This trade involved trading the False Breakout Reversal Setup that was taking place on the Daily and 4 Hour Charts last week, amidst the period of risk aversion across markets in reaction to the on going Coronavirus outbreak. This quick and aggressive trade took just 4 Hours in providing me with a 2.00% Rate of Return, just ahead of the Bullish Reversal that took place at Support. With this result, the new strategy is now up by 23.78% from just 14 trades, pushing me closer to the next major target of a 30% Rate of Return. As long as we carefully and patiently wait to only trade the setups with a High Probability of Success, large Rates of Return are possible for us in this difficult market.  VIDEO HIGHLIGHT OF THE USD CHF TRADE The main factors related to this trade that you'll seen in the Manual and in the more detailed Video Analysis available only to my subscribers were: 1. Accurately Identifying Consolidation

GBP CAD PROVIDES A 140-PIP TRADING GAIN FROM FALSE CONSOLIDATION BREAKOUT REVERSAL

Image
This successful trade took advantage of the sharp False Breakout Reversal from the Pennant Consolidation on the Daily Chart that started on December 3, 2015. As with all of these types of setups, the initial breakout attempt was quickly taken out by a strong, opposing signal that led to a breakout at the other end of the Consolidation. Given that this setup was in sync with the theory of False Breakouts that is outlined on Page 54 of the Trading Manual, the trade provided a strong gain of 140 Pips. The graph below shows one of the examples of False Breakouts that are explained in detail in the Manual. FALSE BREAKOUT SETUPS As you can see from the Daily Chart of the GBP CAD below, the setup was almost exactly the same as the one above.  DAILY CHART FALSE BREAKOUT PENNANT SETUP (FXCM Charts used to provide Entry Signals based on the New York Candle Close of the Daily Chart) Following the Bear Candle that attempted a breakout at Support, the bulls
