Although the EUR/USD continued on it’s merry way downward from pre-London into London itself, one can’t help but look for any clues/opportunities to sneak into a counter trend spot/scalp back up on the EUR/USD at least on the short term. With NFP tomorrow morning, and quite a solid extension this week on the EUR/USD drop, a short term counter seemed feasible. In this video I discuss how we setup for a possible counter trend trade, what we looked for, and how we entered/exited the trade for a 50 pip profit/20′ish pip risk sort of move before the short continued again.

Pre-London completed some of our earlier trades going on and finally hit some support targets we had been after on several pairings. So here we were in familiar territory, London open at support/reversal pivot points, pretty much know what happens there, countertrend scalping back to resistance. So in this video I show one of these trades, the EUR/JPY, and how we set it up, why we did, and where the executions here. Ultimately an unexpected news release just before London lunch finished our move to it’s finally target before fully coming back down to the support zone again. Hey whatever it takes =) Have a great weekend! FXBootcamp London Currency Coach- Christian Stephens

Asia’s activity today left us with a little cloudy picture on several pairs coming into London. We definitely had clear direction on many pairs but found ourselves near interim support/resistance on the same pairs as London was opening, so what we needed were some pullbacks. One such pairing was the GBP/USD today, which found itself pulling back to a near perfect Fibonacci zone which overlapped multiple types of dynamic ema resistance exactly as London opened. While this entry was ideal, should one have missed this entry (which sadly I did due to my alarm being 2 pips further), how could we try and still enter this trade conservatively and not feel like we were price chasing. Well in this video I show you how I walked the FXBootcamp room through that very process. Ultimately it offered us two opportunities to join this move, one ended up break even while the other ended up a 50-60 pip traded depending how you decided to take profit, near or at the Weekly Central Pivot point. Regardless of your bias on a pairing you still must be able to build a trade plan with acceptable risk parameters or you simply should not take the trade. This video shows how we finally were able to make the risk/reward make sense to join this in the middle of it’s move. FXBootcamp London Currency Coach- Christian Stephens

The USD has been quite the bull lately and we have not yet seen any reason technically for that to cease. With the situation in Greece very tense, the Euro has shown even further weakness. With this Euro weakness and USD strength we again were looking to the EUR/USD for some further clues of continuation down. In this video I highlight how we built a trade plan starting at today’s London Session around a 40′ish pip hourly price trap, break, and then retest. Once the break occurs it was time for our favorite friend Mr. Fibonacci to step in, and sure enough he coughed up several opportunities to snag a nice EUR/USD short entry to start the day. While it took all night to really follow through, it completed its drop today of 120 pips or so from the Fib in dramatic fashion with China raising it’s reserve requirements unexpectedly, causing a strong push to the 1.3550 area which also happened to be our daily M1 reversal pivot point, Profit take time! Lovely trade. Have a fantastic weekend folks! fxbootcamp London Currency Coach- Christian Stephens

While Asia into pre-London offered us a fantastic short term GBP/JPY pullback long off of a weekly m1 reversal pivot point, London was setting up to offer us an even better reload to the downside direction that our Daily trap break began yesterday. In this video I discuss in detail how we pre-determined the area we were looking at as resistance, how we isolated that region, and ultimately what we looked for specifically to enter the short with confidence, all while keeping risk as low as possible. This trade worked fantastically, partially helped by negative GBP Retail Sales news later on, and if you kept it long term continued well into the NY open. Fantastic trading week for sure, have a great weekend! fxbootcamp London Currency Coach- Christian Stephens

FXBootcamp hopes you are enjoying this 40 hour bootcamp coaching marathon leading up to the triple witching hour on Friday, we hope to see many of you during several of these sessions. We have had signs of likely further weakness in the British pound technically this week on the Daily/4hour currency charts, such as multiple Daily lower highs among other things. So going into today’s London session rising from pre-London, while profitable, kept one very attuned to the market for a reversal …

The USD has been showing strength lately I think we can all agree with that. Meanwhile the British Pound has been not only weak but threatening to break a serious looking trendline level on the 4hour/daily charts. This combination of a strong greenback and weak Sterling naturally led us to pay close attention to the GBP/USD pair. While there were quite a few opportunities in every major session to technically get short this pairing today, a fresh short entry in the London session could have …

The EUR/JPY long from yesterdays double bottom continued to perform throughout late Asia into Pre-London. This actually ended up creating a legitimate higher low on the Daily chart. In this video I break down in it’s entirety why I had good reason to believe the EUR/JPY would continue to rise throughout the London session today. Using things like MACD divergence on the EUR/USD and EUR/JPY, price trap breaks, the USD index, correlated JPY weakness, and of course our good friend Fibonacci to …

After a solid break of resistance, and fantastic follow through on the EUR/USD during the NY open and into the rest of the NY session yesterday, we were left at resistance during the London open. Even though we have clearly been riding upwards solidly on the short term, this is a major pullback level on longer term charts. However, because it is such longer term charts, you almost know without thinking how choppy any ‘counter trend’ trade back downward would initially be. This set us up for …

Normally when I make a video I focus on a complete trade setup, start to finish, that we 100% planned/executed in the London session classroom, I do not like to make a video’s on things I did not cover totally live in the classroom. Today however, by member request, I am making a video on a GBP/USD short trade plan that I planned and executed prior to taking the London microphone. Although we did have some minor short term reload activity during the London session, this video is meant to …
