March 31st, 2012 – FX Weekly Analysis

Another messed up week!

Hey guys, hope trading has been going well for you guys and my forecasts aren’t screwing you guys up too badly lol. Someone actually emailed me asking if they can be used “directly” for opening positions which is actually why I originally started doing these FX forecasts. I wanted to see if I could gauge markets correctly and be able to have week long holds but that doesn’t bode well for the long term. Thus, it’s best just to use these as an “opinion” for the market outlook. If you do a simple Google search, you’ll find tons of sites doing something similar, so just take these forecasts with a grain of salt when you trade. Anyways, onto this week’s forecasts….

Monthly Chart

Weekly Chart

Daily Chart

H4 Chart

Commentary / Technical Forecasts:

USD/CAD [Long (C)]: As you can see, compared to the start of the week, it closed about 8 pips higher, that means negligible. I’m explicitly stating this here to clarify an inquiry I received a few weeks ago regarding what “negligible” means. If I had an open trade at the beginning of the week till now, that 8 pip difference means nothing basically. Last year, I set a limit of at least 25 pips difference to count as a win/loss. This week’s condition in play is all the upper resistance coming up, the symmetrical triangle has already been broken multiple times so that shouldn’t be in play anymore but I’m leaving it on the chart for future reference. Look at the H4 chart, this week opened tanking down then bounced up and peaked then back down but not fully down. This shows some type of bull strength / buying pressure to the upside.

AUD/USD [Short (C)]: In terms of positioning of this forecast, AUD/USD is sitting in the middle of the channel which is a bad placement for a forecast because if you’ve watched my video series, this is “no man’s land”. Regardless, I’ll say it’s short because the trends tend to last a while on AUD/USD, the monthly trendline will probably take another week or two because it comes into view again to see a bounce / breaking point. Condition is whether or not it keeps to the downward channel i.e., depending if the upper TL of the downward channel holds or not, that’ll determine if it keeps going down or not.

EUR/USD [Long (C)]: Correlation trading with GBP/USD. It’s currently sitting near the daily trendline, I said last week that it would travel up to meet this line before it determined what it would do. Breaking this line would confirm the longer timeframes of a change in direction because like I said before, the weekly downward trendline was broken already so it can certainly keep moving up. Condition is on whether or not the daily trendline breaks, if it doesn’t break. It could very well just bounce back down and keep playing this channel.

GBP/USD [Long (C)]: This has broken the monthly trendline, which can be seen on every chart except for the H4 chart. This might be a change in a new direction or forming new trendlines in the future. The condition is on whether or not I drew the right line LOL, because if it’s above the current price, it’s possible for it to bounce back down.

Until next week, Good Luck Trading!

UPDATE on March 2012 Bonus Tutoring Promo with 24Option

For those of you that missed it, here’s the original announcement posted 2 weeks ago: http://www.financialtradingjournal.com/march-2012-bonus-tutoring-for-new-24option-traders/

Just wanted to update that I’m currently at 7 sign ups, so I need another 3 sign ups in order to qualify for the bonus payout. Take note, ONLY 10 people qualify for the bonus BUT NOBODY gets it if I don’t get the minimum 10 sign ups.

  • So, for the 7 of you that already signed up, if you care about the extra 15 minute bonus. I suggest you go tell your friends or co-workers or whoever to sign up and fund a new account via my link in order to reach the 10 sign up threshold!
  • As for the bystanders that haven’t made the move yet, it’s not too late, the next 3 sign ups can still get the bonus tutoring. Albeit, it’s only 15 minutes but since it’s no extra cost to you, I think that’s a win-win situation.

PS: Deadline is Mar 31st, 2012 at 11:59pm GMT I believe… since 24Option is based in UK.

Binary Options Trading Signals

As some of you may have noticed earlier this month, I put up banners for a new signal service: Binary Options Trading Signals. This signal service is unlike any other, in that you’re not getting “signals” but rather, you’re paying to watch a trader in action and follow his live trades. The trader is Franco, who has provided this service for free over the past few months (which I didn’t know about until recently) and has time and time again proved his level of trading skill.

This provides a new edge to the signal service world because previously all you got was a plain signal providing the entry, direction and expiry. Now with this service, you can watch him in action and try to learn by example. From what I hear, he even answers questions from subscribers live while he’s trading!

http://www.gotoBOTS.com – Only $97 / Two Weeks!

Enough with the talk, let’s get onto the technicals:

  • This costs $97 / 2 weeks = $194 / month
  • He has an average of 85% winning weeks
  • He trades Mon – Fri between 10AM – 2PM EST
  • I’m told he sends out between 5 – 10 signals per session, giving at least 25+ per week.

Something to clarify, he’s not claiming an 85% win ratio. He’s claiming that on average in terms of weekly profit/loss, 85% of the time the week will end in a profit provided that you follow him to the letter. Be sure to sign up while you can at this price, “apparently” there’s going to be a price increase in the future. There’s currently already 100+ people signed up, which is a lot considering it’s a new signal service.

PS: He makes his trades on 24Option, so if you haven’t already, I suggest you sign up for an account with them. This way, if he utilizes any of the unique trade features that only 24Option has, you’re not left out. Plus, when you’re one of the first 10 traders to sign up with 24Option this month thru my link, you qualify for an extra 15 minutes of tutoring on top of the hour that I’m offering in the tutoring promo.
