Good Morning Guys

I start by marking out the Asian session for today.

I draw green horizontal lines to mark the highest & lowest price of the Asian session on a 1 hr chart

Today some important PPI data is being released by 8 30 AM so i notice a lot of indecision in the market

Doji candlesticks usually signal indecision and i suspect it is due to the incoming Untied States PPI data

Market is too slow for my liking i will be back by 8:30 AM today when the PPI data is released by the US Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Hopefully the market will see more volatility when the PPI data is released

Its 8 30 and PPI data is about to be released

The forecast is that PPI will fall from 2.2 to 2.0% and if this happens the EUR/USD exchange rate will rise because the USD will weaken

I see a big bullish candle signifying rising price so i enter a BUY Trade

I exit the trade with a 410 profit because i realize the PPI data has not yet been released

I just spotted an Evening Star Candlestick Pattern

The evening star pattern when seen in a downtrend such as this one signifies an incoming upward trend

After spotting the Evening Star candlestick pattern i take a long position fortified with Stop Loss (SL) and Take Profit (TP)

Success!!

My Take Profit has been hit and i exit with $25 profit.

I dont want to ride the trend because markets will be volatile today as the European Central Bank interest rate decision will be made today

Good Morning Guys,

it was a rollercoaster ride yesterday after the ECB cut interest rates and as you can see from the charts there was a rally.

There was also a lot of high volatility yesterday making it risky to trade if you dint have lot os capital

Today as usual i expect calmer markets

I look at the EUR/USD chart and mark the Asian session high & low price with two green lines

I switch to the 5 minute chart so i can pick a point to enter the market

Price has broken the resistance line so i place a BUY Order

The market is obviously in an upward trend

The upward trend has paused a bit so i invoke the FIBONACCI RETRACEMENT indicator to find out why

The golden fibonacci levels are not being tested

From Dow's Theory, the market is now in a DISTRIBUTION PHASE which is a prelude to a downward trend

SO I EXPECT A SERIOUS DOWN TREND TO START SOON

DOWNWARD TREND HAS STARTED

The market is now posting lower lows and lower highs

I PLACE A SELL ORDER

I PLACE MY STOP LOSS AT THE 38.2 FIBONACCI LEVEL BECAUSE MOST REVERSALS IN A TREND HAPPEN THERE
