As another week goes by in a slow "trending" market, we are yet to see the gains we normaly have seen at this time of the year. This is due to the ongoing Euro zone problems that continue to hold the front pages of our newspapers. This reason is stopping the trends devoloping and continuing their momentum. There are still opportunities to be had, but gains are smaller and a lot of looking is required.

One of these opportunities is the CHF, Lets look at the Monthly

Price is below the VI and has found resistance around a key Fib number after doing a pullback. Will price continue to fall away and return to the trend or could we see a head and shoulders pattern form over the coming weeks ?

Lets take a look at the Daily chart.

Price, our main indicater is above the VI and we have a cluster of COE in our area. Fib Support level, RN & VI. If we can break through these, then maybe we could return to the trend. Ther is a long way to fall to next support. Add to your watch list.

I came across some key steps with regards being a disciplined trader and preached by Mark Douglas, please read them and let is know if they have been a help.

I will not be posting for the next 7-10 days due to some appointments I have to keep, so good luck in your trading.

Cross = AUD & NZD Daily below  (Courtesy of Advanced Get / E Signal)

Are you suffering PAIN at the moment or are you experiancing Gains in your account ???

Can you emotionaly trade £1 the same as £1,000 or £10,000 0r £100,000 if not, why not ?

You will never know the outcome of your trades, only what risk you are prepared to take when you enter them.

Your COE will highlight trades for you to take and you decide whether or not to enter based on your trading plan.

Our NZD cross has moved 70 pips in profit and we await further upwards movement after seeing Daily Bullish movement. Both our GBPNZD and EURNZD have benefitted from this move.

Continue your education of the mind.

Experiance ishelpful, but it is judgement that matters.

We have plenty of clear sky on the WEEKLY chart before we hit resistance around the 9.0000 mark.

Cut your losses and let your winners "Run", how many times have you heard this said ? Do you let your heart strings rule your decisions and not follow your rules ?

If you have followed your rules, got good COE, placed your trade and it goes WRONG...How do you feel ?

You entered the trade with the expectation to win, it never happened .......... How do you feel ?

By having placed your stop, you will have accepted the risk and will cut your losses. Move on,  find another trade and if you get profits let them runnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn.

We have been following the NZD & AUD, and are 300 pips up on the AUD and only 30 pips on the NZD, both crosses are currently having a breather and deciding what their next moves will be. As "Trend" traders we have to believe it will be with the "TREND" Both charts have similar traits..........................

“Better to have tried and failed, than not tried at all”

Cross = AUD Daily below  (Courtesy of Advanced Get / E Signal)

We looked at the NZD on our last blog in some detail and today we are going to turn our attentions to its neighboor the AUD.

As Britain had a weekend of snow and ice, which normaly brings things to a stand still, I thought I would look at hotter climates and put you mind in the right frame to start your week. Trading is very much related to the state of your mind and when your not quite feeling with it your trading can suffer. When this happens you are better having a day away from the markets. At my house in Birmingham I have a room with multiple monitors and the walls surrounded with pictures of happy memories of days gone by, I also play music that I find relaxing, whether Classical, Rock or Pop. This all helps you being in the right frame of mind and ready to tackle the markets.

I have come across some videos which will help you in these thoughts and have posted one at the bottom of the blog, if you get the chance get hold of a copy of "Trading in the Zone" by Mark Douglas.  http://www.amazon.co.uk/Trading-Zone-Mark-Douglas/dp/0735201447

Lets now look at the AUD

Long term this cross is Bullish and 2011 saw it hitting its all time highs, price is looking on retesting these figures with around 1.1000 giving some resistance points. Price currently deciding its future around a weekly support level, having BOB from our weekly trend line.

Dynamic Traders will have had several hints of a long entry since the turn of the year and I imagine many may well be in this trade already and if so will be in profits. With the VI having been in my way, I never entered this trade till more recently and am not yet risk free.

On the Daily chart price is at the neck line of the recent "W" formation which can be seen on the chart and this coincides with a previous resistance level. If we can move through this area price should continue with the trend until our higest highs at around 1.10000 - 1.11000.

Mauri - The life force which all objects contain.

Force works in a strange way, when an amount of energy develops it needs to find a way out and we get a BOB, which somtimes can be very powerful but not always. We also generaly will see the seesaw effect where as one goes down the other side goes up. I do admit to knowing nothing about Physics, even if I did learn to fly a helicopter, however these couple of facts are useful in your trading.

Lets look at the NZD, it is currently in an uptrend and showing further strength, therefore against other crosses we should find weakness. We have weakness currently in the EUR & GBP and if we ckeck our COE we could achieve profits on both sides, if you get it wrong it could lead to double losses.

Emotions - Up & Down !

Good Evening / Morning Dynamic Traders

Cross =  EURNZD Daily below  (Courtesy of Advanced Get / E Signal)

31st January, How has Month 1 of the year been for you ? Its that time of the year when the "Tax man" is wanting your returns in order to collect your taxes. If you are taking your trading serious then you will not want to lose profits to the taxman so a "Spreadbetting" account will enable your profits to be "Tax Free".

What is "Spread Betting" ?

Emotions, like your profits will go up and down and I want to look at the EURNZD which we reported in the last blog, that we were in a 200 pip loss. We entered the trade with one of our Pullback "Dynamic Trader" strategies and as can normaly happen, we triggered into the trade and then moved into a loss. Even when you are used to these things happening, your emotions can cause mental stress. However as we write we are now nearly 200 pips in profit within a couple of days.

Resistance Time

Cross =  AUDCAD Daily below  (Courtesy of Advanced Get / E Signal)

Keep an eye on your EUR crosses to find out if the pullback has exausted. Use your Dynamic Trader Tools for an Aggressive entry.

Our AUDCAD trade is still waiting to break its Resistance as seen on our chart, remember the TREND is our friend.

Keep an eye on the CHF for Short entry, Use Pullback for aggressive or BOB for conservative.

AUDCAD Onwards and Upwards ?

Good Evening / Morning Dynamic Traders

“Better to have tried and failed, than not tried at all”

Cross =  AUDCAD Daily below  (Courtesy of Advanced Get / E Signal)

Last week saw a breather in the previous moves with the trend, and with it presented new opportunities.

If your trend has pulled back, then we need to look for either a pullback strategy or a new BOB. Pullbacks can be considered "aggressive" to enter a trade as we have not confirmed that price has or is returning to its trend. We have a number of tools in our bag that should help you with this decision and try to stack the odds in your favour, your Dynamic Trader Training will have taught you these.

The AUDCAD has been in an uptrend since July 2009 if you look at its weekly chart and we have had 5 opportunities to enter this trade since the start of the year with our BOB tools. Long,medium and short term bias are all bullish and momentum is also currently in our favour. The only fly in the oinment is that price is currently testing a previuos resistance level just short of the 1.07000.

Strength through this area will push price into new untested areas.

Remember the trend is your friend.
