4:52a GMT – Bulls kept charging ahead yesterday to just above my target of 1.4720 – unfortunately the pair never dipped low enough for my entry around 1.4620 to get triggered! I feel like a broken record with the signals for this week but here we go again: I think the pair is overbought, I think US stocks are overbought, but until the rest of the market thinks that it doesn’t really matter what I think! So we will continue to trade with the trend. I think we will see some more cooling off today though to support in the 1.4620-1.4650 range where I will look to reset longs. Tight stops as any reversal at this point could be a big one.
Trading Idea: Looking to buy near support zone between 1.4620-1.4650 with targets back up to 1.4685, 1.4720 and 1.4745. If 1.4600 is broken and US stocks take dive then I may look for a short back down to 1.4530.

Hey Mark. If it’s gonna go down to 1.4650, would it be a good idea to sell and put a take profit around that area? Or, is that just pushing it?

Ash, as a rule of thumb I generally don’t trade against the trend, especially a strong uptrend like this. It is much easier to trade with the trend than it is to try and constantly call tops. I will do it if it there is a good technical or fundamental reason to do it, but I don’t see either of those right now.

hi mark, for yesterdays signal I bought at 1.4643 and made some 80 pips, dont you think waiting for it to fall as low as 1.4620 the market conditions might change?

Nnagozie – depends on your trading style. I try and buy on dips because I always use stops (and recommend you do too) and it is hard to get good risk/reward ratios buying near the top in hopes it keeps going. But I know of traders who do it .

Mark, the signals you’ll be rolling out for the major currency pairs next month will be a free or fee-based service?

Andy – hasn’t been set yet. I’m putting a lot of work and time into them and as you can see I don’t make any money off this website, so we’ll have to see how it goes.

Thank you for your advices

God…I don’t think this pair is gonna down at all. It just wants to keep going up and up and up! But I bet, if I buy now, it will turn around.
It’s very frustrating being a trader….

hey ash i think the pair is on its way down

I’m gonna wait and see, I’m fed up losing. I also said I would wait for Marks new details on when to take profit and so forth. But if I see an opportunity, I’m gonna take it. I need it.
