Preparing to Trade with Real Money

March 9th, 2010

The forex market had been range trading pretty much the whole of yesterday (Mon)… Today, I finally see some movement… However, unfortunately till now, I’ve not spotted any MACD Divergence that I am confident of trading…

I intend to start trading with real money as soon as I spot a good chance… but the irony is, when I was paper-trading, MACD divergence were spotted almost everyday… now that I am ready to try with real money… I can’t find a single trade… Not that I am stricter with my selection now… There just isn’t anything suitable to trade… Well, actually, there are some potential trades based my reading of price action… but I am still a novice in that regard, so I am not confident enough to trade them without confirmation from MACD…

I’ll be patient… cause the ability to overcome fear and greed is the ONLY way to win in trading…. Here’s an article written by a fellow forex trader that I think makes a lot of sense… and it kind of answers a question that I kept harping on in some of my older posts… “What is my edge in Forex trading?”…

Update: Student of Price Action

Here’s the update on my previous post:

EURUSD 8 Mar

EURUSD 8 Mar

Conclusion:

EURUSD continued to move up when market re-opened today… Once again showing the reliability of MACD Divergence and price action.

Student of Price Action

March 6th, 2010

I’m a student of the art of price action reading… and a hardworking one at that… So, I’m going to post some charts now and then to record down my questions and thought processes… for future reference….

Looking at the chart below, I probably won’t trade this… because I really don’t know how the price will proceed from here… Still a newbie at reading price action… I see contradicting signals… as listed below… very interested in how this pair will perform when market re-opens on Monday…

EURUSD, where next?

EURUSD, where next?

BULLISH

  1. MACD Divergence at point A
  2. A breach of support (Fibo 61.8) that failed at point A
  3. Price action supports a reversal (close is relatively strong, midway from the low)

BEARISH

  1. A breakout of the 1.3567 to 1.3606 trading range (indicated by the two red lines) at point B. However, this breakout seems to lack conviction because the candle reversed and closed at 1.3606.
  2. Further hesitation is evident at point C.

P/S: I have a slightly bullish bias for this chart. This is because a doji (by itself) is not a good signal, unless it is confirmed by other price action)
