Cable Trade - Stop to BE
Stop moved to break even for free trade, and I'm done for the day.
I use the H1/H4 TFs as my bellwether and strategy is to look for setups on the M15 TF and enter on the M1 TF, which therefore allows for very tight stop. Sometimes I get stopped out quick at BE but overall, I have made more pips and reduced losing trades to less than 10% which is my goal and money management style. I believe that if we protect capital, we will be here to trade another day. If I get stopped out and the setup is still intact, I re-enter the trade.
I don't need to trade every day as a 25 pips daily average on a full size account should pay the bill. Remember, slow and steady wins the race - we are not competing against anybody but ourselves. Think about it. The day I realized I did not need to trade daily was the day I started making consistent pips in the market. I wait for my specific setup and trade it. If it is not there, I stand down as I know it may not be there every day but when it is, a 50 - 150 pips is possible, and therefore need only 7 - 10 days of a good setup to make my monthly target. So why the stress or getting emotionally charged with every trade!!!
I hope this helps one trader out there.
Shalom, and God bless

GBPCAD Long Trade for 53P in 17 Minutes
I usually don't trade the news but seeing the CAD weak against most of the other currencies, especially the balls at the top of the meter, I was constrained to consider trading it against the strongest currency, GBP. And the result was 53 pips in 17 minutes with a 13 pip risk and trailed by 20 pips. Not bad for a day's job since I slept through the London session.

Aussie Long & Short Trades
One major lesson I have learnt from using the currency strength meter to manage my trades is that when a trade is entered on the basis of its reading/signal and there is no momentum to the trade, close it within 15 - 30 minutes unless there is room to bring the trade to break even. Why?!! Because we have lost the edge that brought us into the trade in the first place. And this was why I closed the Aussie long almost at break even, and I was right as CPI report was below expectation and traders reacted negatively but I was long gone before then.
I'm off for a snooze and will be back for the London session.
Good trading to all

NZDUSD Short Update
Closed trade for about 10 pips when I noticed problem @ 8350 where the bullish trendline and half number met on the M15 TF and similar occurrence also on the H1 TF with the 72MA right under the half number; and no surprise when price bounced off this level. It was a CT trade and was promptly laid to rest before it could do any damage.

CHFJPY Short
The beauty of trading is that you don't need to trade every day. Identify the structure and patterns to trading, watch the setups and play the breakout of support and resistance levels. There are 22 working/trading days in the month and you only need 5 - 10 setups to make your pay for the month. So it don't matter whether you miss one or two trades, just keep your focus and stop chasing trades - let the trades come to you. Be prepared and trade with excellence; and when you make your target don't be greedy, take a break and spend time with your loved ones and create time for your Maker and fellowship with Him too.
Shalom and good trading to all

The Week Has Started - RCS Alerts @ Lndn Open
The JPY pairs broke out to the down side with EJ & CHJ being the best while others only moved because of the JPY strength except the GJ which is also weak. This is can be further confirmed by looking at the EU, UCH & GU where we also have signals to sell the EU & buy the UCH. These signals are not as strong as the JPY signals but equally good because they are in line with the EUR & CHF weakness and downtrend.
We have no signal to sell the GU because the GBP is not as weak as the EUR & CHF but also in a downtrend. The advantage of the RCS Spreadsheet Signal Alerts is that it narrows down the focus pairs to trade without any human emotions. All a trader does is to confirm whether it is trending, consolidating or trading sideways and take your decision.
Happy trading for the week.
Shalom, and God bless

Potential GBPCAD Trade Setup
One of the trades identified from the week end is setting up, and looking at my RCS SS Signal confirmation for entry. Price moved to retest the prior high and bounced off this resistance/supply level, coinciding with a regular bearish divergence. Need more CAD strength and GBP weakness to take this trade.

GBPJPY Buy Signal
About 20 minutes after the last signal, I got confirmation to buy the GBPJPY, and the question is, should I take the signal or not??!!
The signals generated by the RCS Spreadsheet (SS) are based on pure price action and not on any lagging indicator(s), and used as entry confirmation based on a trader`s own trend following/trading system. It helps to narrow down pairs to focus attention and where the momentum is. I am an intra day trader and would not take this signal for the following reasons:
- The average daily trading range for this pair has been reached and exceeded as highlighted on the chart window;
- There is resistance at 127.80 although resistance are meant to be broken but I am looking for high probability trades and will avoid a pair where resistance or support has not broken before the ADR is reached;
- This action at resistance area is coinciding with SMI at extreme OB on this time frame and it is already turning.
We will sometimes miss trades when price moves strongly during the Asian session and the alternative line of action is to look at other pair(s) and if not, we wait to trade another day. Not taking a trade is also a position. Patience and discipline is key to success in this business.
Price just broken the resistance and touched the RN at 128.00 but I am not looking at this pair, and would rather focus on pairs that have not reached their ADR.
Good trading folks
Cheers, and God bless
