Eur/Usd: Consolidating or Rebound?

Posted by Casey Stubbs on Thursday, February 18, 2010, In : Trade opportunities 



The Euro yesterday gave up all of it's gains verses the Dollar but stopped short of reaching new lows. The pair stalled out at 1.3540 and the previous lows were around 1.3531. Right now we could be entering a consolidated range trading period where the price will be waiting before making a decision which way that it is likely to go.

The current range is between 1.3531 and 1.3780 watch these levels closely for bounces off of and for possible breaks. The way to trade these is to enter trades if ...

Eur/Usd: Bounced Back in a Big Way

Posted by Casey Stubbs on Tuesday, February 16, 2010, In : Trade opportunities 


The Eur/Usd made a major bounce today verses the lows that the pair established on Friday. The pair smashed through the major resistance level of 1.3700 to move all the way to 1.3772. The pair is now consolidating and has not retreated from the gains made today. The next major resistance hurdle for the Eur/Usd will be the 1.3800 area as that will be a psychological level to contend with. If the pair continues to make gains the 1.4000 will be another major resistance point.

We are still in the ...

Hello Traders Happy Valentines day!

I hope that you all had a great time with your special someone. I personally don't believe in Valentines Day because I believe I should shower my wife with love an affection every day and not just once a year.

The Eur/Usd has been continuing to reach new lows last week reaching a new low of 1.3531 on Friday. That will be the new support level that we will watch to see if the pair will reach new lows. If the 1.3531 support level gets broken we have additional ...

Team Work is a Valuable Tool

Posted by Casey Stubbs on Thursday, February 4, 2010, In : Trading Survival Skills 


Today in my trading I was reminded of a valuable lesson and it was by one of the traders in my room. I sometimes get ahead of myself when entering trades because of anticipation. One of the first things I was taught as a trader is not to act before you get your entry signal.  Today, I was entering trades based on what I "felt" was going to happen rather than a signal given. Then one of the traders in the room asked me why did you enter there, because there was no signal?

I realized he was rig...

Eur/Usd: Desecnding Fast, When Will the Bleeding Stop?

Posted by Casey Stubbs on Friday, January 29, 2010, In : Trade opportunities 


Every day this week the Eur/Usd was hitting new lows and it appears we are in a straight free fall.  To answer the question when will the bleeding stop we have a couple of support areas at the 1.3823 area which was close to the close now. Other areas where we has support where we could see stalling is the 1.3400 1.3500 areas.

I have identified potential support and reverse areas on the daily chart below.

Eur/Usd: Consolidating Waiting for a Breakout

Posted by Casey Stubbs on Tuesday, January 26, 2010, In : Trade opportunities 
The price on the Eur/Usd is in a consolidation pattern waiting for a breakout. The sentiment is that the pair will break the 1.4000 level soon. The pair has been offering some support at the 1.4000 level and has not broken south of that line. However there has not been much strength at all in the pair and the Dollar is strong right now in all verses all the pairs.

Watch the pair break out of the 1.4200 or 1.4000 range for any clear indication about which direction the pair will continue to mov...

Educational Video: How to place Stop Loss order

Posted by Casey Stubbs on Tuesday, January 26, 2010, In : Trading Strategy 


Today I received an email from a reader that asked how to place a stop loss. I think that is a great question and I decided to do a short video to help him understand how to place your stop so that you can have good trades with out much risk.

The best way is to use support and resistance levels along with the highs and lows of the candles that you see the entry signal. This video can also bee seen as a current buy setup in the Usd/Cad.

Eur/Usd: Bottoming at 1.4029

Posted by Casey Stubbs on Friday, January 22, 2010, In : Trade opportunities 


The Euro continues to dive and make new lows this week. The price bottomed out yesterday at 1.4029 and then hanging in a consolidation range until the pair decides to do a critical breakout in either direction.

There are mixed opinions about the future for the Euro/Usd, some experts are saying that the pair will drop going all the way to 1.24 and others are saying that 1.4000 is the bottom of this temporary move. It can be a long and dauntiing task to figure out the fundamentals. What I under...

Eur/Usd: Weekly Update

Posted by Casey Stubbs on Saturday, January 16, 2010, In : Trade opportunities 


The Eur/Usd is in a consolidation range right now. The pair was thought to possible break to the upside when it broke the 1.4450 price resistance barrier but that was short lived as the Euro is unpopular right now and out of favor. Despite negative US data reports the pair has not lost ground on the Euro.

As of right now the current support level to watch is 1.4200 if the pair breaks below that we could see the pair go to 1.3800. Friday was very bearish for the pair as the Dollar gained all d...

What Will the Eur/Usd Do in 2010?

Posted by Casey Stubbs on Sunday, January 3, 2010, In : Trade opportunities 


 The Eur/Usd is the worlds most traded pair and there is currently a great deal of speculation about the current condition and how will the Dollar perform vs. the Euro this year. Last year the pair had a wide range but in the end didn't really go anywhere.  The Dollar began the year at 1.3938 and ended at 1.4331 the pair was down early and came back strong during the year only to lose most of the gains made during the year.

What is going to happen for the pair this year? Only time will tell b...

Aud/Usd: Monthly Setup

Posted by Casey Stubbs on Saturday, January 2, 2010, In : Trade opportunities 


Last Month I noticed a possible setup on the Aud/Usd in this post. Now the Trade has setup and an entry point is here for the beginning of the year. The reason we have a short setup despite the excellent Australian economy and the strength of the aussie is because on the monthly chart we have a pull back and there is a shooting star and then a candle that has closed lower than the low of the previous candle. That is a short entry signal using Japanese candlestick trading.

Eur/Usd: Dollar is on a Roll

Posted by Casey Stubbs on Sunday, December 20, 2009, In : Trade opportunities 


The Dollar has not slowed down in its climb verses the Euro this week. This weeks trading is moving right at a pace for moving back to the 1.4000 level.  The only problem with that is that there has been no retracement on this current down move. Nothing can go straight down forever so we should get a pull back soon. Right now by looking at the 4hr chart we can see a slight pull back has started. The current resistance is at around 1.4400, look for the pair to rebound to that level before cont...

Eur/Usd: Possible move to 1.4626 ahead

Posted by Casey Stubbs on Thursday, December 10, 2009, In : Trade opportunities 


The pair has been trending down since the surprising NFP news released last Friday. Todays trading is in a bit of consolidation and we have hit a shelf or bear flag forming with a possible break to the downside. The target that should be in place is 1.4626 because that is the next key support level that was met on October 2. If we break down below that point we could be in a stronger dollar bullish scenario.

Mark Thomas -- Trade On Track


Continuing on with our price action study, in this article we'll put together a plan for analysing a particular currency pair, on a particular time frame, and see if we can work out a way to get some probabilities on price continuation.

In the last article we talked about a study that was published a few years ago that presented some probabilities of price continuing in the same direction.  For instance, the study said that if the EUR/USD moved 15 pips on a 1hr cha...

Eur/Usd: Why I Think It Will Move Down From Here

Posted by Casey Stubbs on Sunday, December 6, 2009, In : Trade opportunities 


The Eur/Usd made a bearish move on Friday on positive news released on the U.S. Economy. This article is purely speculation based on my technical analysis.  This point of my opinion only and you have the right to disagree. The first signal to me is the long bearish bar on the daily charts. That bar indicates to me that there was a massive selling and that could be an indication of additional selling. The price broke past all the previous lows of that pair for the last few days.

Eur/Usd: Postive Dollar News Sends Euro Crashing Creates and New Trading Opportunity

Posted by Casey Stubbs on Saturday, December 5, 2009, In : Trade opportunities 


Today when the news for the Non Farm Payrolls came out the Dollar took off for major gains and never looked back. The number posted was that U.S. Economy only lost 11,000 jobs.  This is big news because the number was supposed to be - 119k so that means that the estimate was 108,000 off. The price reacted suddenly and violently and we had almost a 200 pip move to the downside today. I will give a detailed trade idea at the bottom of this chart.

Eur/Usd: Has Been Secured in a Range

Posted by Casey Stubbs on Thursday, December 3, 2009, In : Trade opportunities 


The Eur/Usd has once again found itself inside of a trading range that can be used to gain some good profits for trading. The support of the range finds the support at 1.5032 so I would look for this price to challenge anywhere as low as 1.5000. The resistance of this pair is at 1.5117 and the ceiling here could be anywhere from 1.5100 to 1.5125. As long as the prices stay within this price range I would look to sell near the resistance and buy near the support. The best time to buy and sell ...

Eur/Usd: Opens the Week Higher

Posted by Casey Stubbs on Monday, November 30, 2009, In : Trade opportunities 


This week the Eur/Usd opened above the 1.5000 level which is above the strong resistance level that the pair has been around. Now that the price is above the 1.5000 that is the new support level to watch for another breakout move. Today is the last day of November and the close of today's trading session is important because if the price can hold above the 1.5000 price that will be a strong signal for more bullish price action for the month of December. If the price drops below 1.5000 that is...

Monthly Trade Opportunities: AUD/USD

Posted by Casey Stubbs on Sunday, November 29, 2009, In : Trade opportunities 

Monthly Trade

At the end of the month I like to look for long term trade entries by looking at the monthly charts. There are two specific ones that we can look for possible entries. For long term trades  that can be held as long as a month to a year long.  These trades are easy to manage and they don't take much time and they can bring great profits.

The first pair that I noticed that may be ready for a long term monthly play is the Aud/Usd.

Eur/Usd: Major Euro Rally Today Price stalls at 1.5000

Posted by Casey Stubbs on Monday, November 23, 2009, In : Trade opportunities 


News moves markets but trading the news can be a dangerous endeavor. This is because traders never know how the market will react to a certain news release. Many times the market will move before the news is released and then when the news is announced since the news was anticipated, the market will react in the exact opposite way, you thought that it would.  So that is why we trade according to what the price is doing not the what the data tells us. Trading according to how the price is movi...

Eur/Usd: Strong Support Area

Posted by Casey Stubbs on Wednesday, November 18, 2009, In : Trade opportunities 


The 1.4825 level is an extremely strong support area as that level has been tested five times in recent weeks. The 1.5000 level is a strong resistance that has been tested several times.

Which ever way the pair decides to go since these support and resistance areas are very strong it will probably be a significant indicator as to which way the trend will move for some time. Keep your eyes on these levels and attempt to do range trading until a clear pattern emerges. Range trading can be profi...

Eur/Usd 4hr Triangle

Posted by Casey Stubbs on Thursday, November 5, 2009, In : Trade opportunities 



 Triangle breakout trades are great for getting good profits, in a quick time frame. The problem with trading chart patterns is that you have to be there when it happens. Which is no easy task. I can tell you that many times I will be watching the pair and just when I go to do something else, that is when the price will break through and I miss the trade. I hate it when that happens.

So today lets look at a triangle on the Eur/Usd.

Usd/Cad: Upcoming Entry

Gbp/Usd: Approaching Key Resistance Line

Posted by Casey Stubbs on Tuesday, October 20, 2009, In : Trade opportunities 


The pair is in a long up trend and has recently broken a trendline to indicate that a new trend could possible be developing. Of course there is always a resistance level here or a support level there that can stop the progress. This is no different today as the upwards movement on the Pound Dollar will be challenged at the 1.6470 level. If the pair can break through that level we can expect this current upward trend to continue.

First of all: Casey made a great call on the double-top reversal of the GBP/USD today.  The move is not over yet, the bear is still jumping out of the window (so to speak), and we expect it to move somewhat lower yet.  This move is another great example of identifying and using fractals, so that is what this article will concentrate on.

I normally write about the Eur/Usd but here is a great opportunity that I could not pass up sharing with you all. There is a double top chart pattern forming.

The resistance level of 1.6125 on Sept 30 2009 is being approached right now. This is a key resistance level as the Pound attempts to break out of the current down trend that it is currently trading in. If this fails the price could go all the way down to 1.5850 and beyond.

If the price breaks through the top we could see a target of 1.6...

Mixed news on unemployment and manufacturing did not give the pair any clear direction.  The lack of positive information is assisting the dollar because of fears that the recovery is not happening as expected.

Today's movement in the Eur/Usd was small and not much room for trading unless you are a scalper. My system did not come up with any trades today. That's ok because I will be patient and when the market moves I will take advantage and make some big pips. :)

The current support held up at 1.4527 which we bounced off of and that was close to a .500 Fibonacci Retracement level. There is a descending triangle forming and if we break out of that we could drop to the next support level at 1.4475 or...

However we have had two straight weeks of moving straight up and it is time for a pull back to happen this week.

Overview of Todays Forex Trading and Tomorrow

Yesterday, I wrote about the doji on the Eur/Usd at the end of the week. I mentioned that if after the doji we had another down candle we would be out of the uptrend for a short period of time and we could go short.

What actually happened was that we moved down to the 1.4500 support level and then there was a bounce that moved up.

I was watching and waiting for the bounce or break through. Since a bounce occured I looked at the charts and made a long entry at 1.4590. I could have gone in soon...

Posted by Casey Stubbs on Wednesday, September 2, 2009, In : Trade opportunities 


This range is being stubborn and  the price does not want to break out. We dropped below the 1.4200 to hit 1.4179 but the pair bounced out quickly so that was a false break.

Even though the range is stubborn we have had some good opportunities for profits on bounces off support levels.

I want to clarify something for everyone here: When I do technical analysis and I put on a bear flag or ascending triangle like I did yesterday. I do not by any means for someone to enter a trade before the actu...

Patience is a Virtue In Trading Forex

Posted by Casey Stubbs on Tuesday, September 1, 2009, In : Trade opportunities 
It pays to wait until the time is right instead of forcing the trade.

In yesterday's trade update I described the channel that the Eur/Usd is moving in right now and I drew an ascending triangle and stated that when the price broke out of the triangle to make a trade. Today the price broke, I made a trade and it worked exactly as I wrote earlier.

I love it when that happens, for two reasons is it helps all of you and it helps me :)

How to Trade Eur/Usd This Week

Forex Trading

It is great to be able to write another post this week. I hope that this article will assist traders in getting an idea of how to trade this week.

The Eur/Usd traded in a small range last week. The trading analysis I wrote in last weeks post has not changed much, because the pair bounced off of the 1.4400 resistance level and the 1.4200 support level.

Since we were trading in such a tight range we should see a breakout soon, it might be this coming week or next week. One thing to n...

Detailed Forex Trade Instructions on Eur/Usd

Posted by Casey Stubbs on Sunday, August 23, 2009, In : Trade opportunities 


We just had a good week trading the Eur/Usd and I think that we are headed for some more great moves coming this week and beyond. Yohay writes that forex trading slows down in the month of August and we should see some more volume in September.

On Monday we have key levels that the Eur/Usd will be challenging, and if we break the resistance levels we may see some big moves.

For resistance levels we have 1.4377, 1.4448 and 1.4721 both of those levels are key and if we see them broken we could se...

.618 Fibonacci Level Trade

Posted by Casey Stubbs on Sunday, August 9, 2009, In : Trade opportunities 

Getting ready for trading this week we see the Eur/Usd had a large pull back from the highs but was that just consolidating. One way to find out is to watch the .618 Fibonacci which is where the downward price moved to on Friday. That was at about 1.4166.

So keep your eye at the current support level and that will be an indicator as to which way the pair will move. We could see a bounce off of the fibo level or we could go through that to see more downward movement on the Euro. This could be ...

Monday Trade: Bullish Move Euro Could Go Higher

Posted by Casey Stubbs on Sunday, August 2, 2009, In : Trade opportunities 


Eur/ Usd

Friday ended with some bullish price action for the Euro. The previous high was 1.4302 so we should watch that level very closely. We could see some consolidation at this level or the pair could go through the last high off of the momentum on Friday and there could be an upward trend forming.

Either way watch the 1.4302 level because that is the key resistance level to watch on Monday.  If the pair goes through the 1.4302 area the target is 1.4386.  If the pair pulls back watch the  p...

Did You Get Any Profits Yet?

The Eur/Usd is has been range trading for a couple of days and that is good for trading as the range has been about 150 pips. That makes it easier to identify the entry and exit points.

Right now the pair is testing the 1.3900 support level and if the pair bounces off that we could see continued range trading. However, I believe that the pair will eventually break to the downside so I am watching the support levels and waiting to get in short for a longer trade.

Posted by Casey Stubbs on Thursday, July 2, 2009, In : Trade opportunities 
In the Eur/Usd there is an ascending triangle forming which is a bullish signal. Currently the pair is heading to test the support level on the bottom trendline.

Watch the bottom trendline for a bounce off of that line around the 1.4050 level. After the bounce look for the pair to retest the 1.4200 level. If the 1.4200 resistance level gets broken look for a target of 1.4342.

If the bottom trendline support level does not hold look for downside targets of 1.4000 and 1.3900

There was some recent news that supported Dollar Strength but we will see.

Right now there is a key support that has been tested several times in the last couple of days at 1.3976 and if we break that we could see a down move to 1.3900 where there is a previous support and if that continues we could see 1.3800.

Trading Plan for the Euro This Week

Last week we saw the Euro make a correction and then push forward making new recent highs. So this could be another exciting week with more gains coming for the euro.

That was what happend the price stopped around 1.955 and then it reversed and headed down. I was actually looking for the price to break but it doesn't matter because I don't trade on what I think will happen I trade on what the market does so I did not enter long as I was planning on. So I did not make a bad trade because I followed my rules.

As a result we have just been going back and forth until momentum begins to move one way or another.  I cannot say what is going to happen as the economic world is uncertain right now and seems to become more so everyday.

Feb, 24 2009 10:08 Am est

The Dollar gained strength after the CB Consumer Confidence news announcement came in at 25. The number expected was 35.5 so that was well below the expected estimate which indicates that the confidence of consumers is dropping extremely fast.

The result of this news was that the Dollar immediately gained strength against most currency pairs. The current price on the Eur/Usd is 1.2726 with the price challenging the 1.2700 support level.

Casey Stubbs- Winners Edge Trading

The Euro lost value in today's trading as investors bought the Dollar because of profit taking off of Fridays gains for the Euro.

The pair is currently testing the key support level of 1.2700 if the pair bounces of that level we could see further gains. Or if the pair goes through that level. We could see a downside target of 1.2550 again. Watch those levels then look for entries to find good trades.

Casey Stubbs- Winners Edge Trading

The week ended with a bang with a huge move with the Euro gaining 250 pips on the day. Is this a bull move for the Euro or just a correction in the current downward trend? What caused such a move and so fast? One report said that as the price begin to move higher the price was hitting stop losses which ignited a buying frenzy in the Euro. I tend to believe that because where else would all that money to move the Euro higher come in al...

Today the Euro gained against the Dollar on a larger than expected unemployement announcement this morning.  In the past that would have sent the Dollar higher because of risk aversion. Today, however the dollar lost strength even with the negative news report. I would attribute move today as a pull back from the Dollars earlier gains this week.

Casey Stubbs- Winners Edge Trading

Today we saw slight weakness in the Euro today after a strong downward move yesterday. The pair has slowly moved down and now is moving in a small range with not much movement. One of the possible reasons for the lack of direction in the pair is confusion for traders as to where to invest thier money. The economic news is terrible, the Euro news is bad and the Dollar news is bad. Traders right now have no way based on fundamentals to d...

In Fridays Trading the pair attempted to close above 1.3000 but as soon as the price hit the 1.3000 resistance level the pair b...
