This is a video summary of the Live Forex Trading Room session on October 30, 2007.

Today’s Summary, by Sunil Mangwani:

There were a couple of intraday trades today, which we will go over before following up on the long term trades which we are into up to now.

On the GBP/CHF  we identified a Bearish Divergence, which contributed to a Short trade, as pointed out by one of our members. The price made higher highs, stochastics made lower highs, and the lower high on the stochastic was quite below the overbought level of 80. This means the momentum has been decreasing in this rally of price which gave us the second high. This signifies a change of trend. This was a nice divergence, and we went in according to our divergence trading rules.

We plotted our Fibonacci Fans, and also used other fib projections to get our targets for a technically correct and profitable trade. (more…)

Today’s Summary, by Sunil Mangwani:

Lets start with one of the trades we were following since yesterday’s recap - the GBP/CHF on 30 min timeframe. The trigger was a Bearish Divergence. Price made higher highs, while stochastics were giving lower highs. We consider this an aggressive “Class A” divergence. The entry for this trade was determined by certain Fibonacci Retracements, and price did go down beyond our target of 2.3940.

We also use the Andrew’s Pitchfork in different ways to confirm the entry. In this case, the price broke through the midline of the APF, and came back to retest it as a resistance. This is another strong confirmation that a downtrend is in progress. In our room we do like to twist around the technical tools available to give us better results.

Lets go over an intraday trade we ended up taking today. The GBP/JPY, one of the most popular pairs in our room, had a Long trade, though the extent was not too large. As I always say, its the technique and methodology which is always more important than the result. (more…)

Today’s Summary, by Sunil Mangwani:

As I always say, its the procedures and technique that are more important than the result of a trade. I know we are all here to trade and win, but ultimately its the procedure that counts more - how you go into the trade, how you analyze it, how you plan your exit. We’ll go over a few setups from today and the techniques which we used to analyze them.

Lets start off with one of the setups we managed to catch in time that is going so far in our favor.
On the GBP/CHF we were looking at a Regular Bearish Divergence, with price making higher highs, and stochastics lower highs. Based on our procedure we calculate our targets using Fibonacci projections on the last move down. So far its on a pause, but expect further moves down. (more…)
