EUR/USD Beginner Level trading

After the Asian session ended, the pre-frankfurt session started and price broke the Asian low and started moving sideways in a range so I marked the range with a small yellow box.

I has expected price to beak the resistance (asian low) and reverse upwards but that didn't happen, instead price broke the sideways consolidation range (yellow box) and it even retested the range and continued moving downwards which was a sign to sell

Right now price is concolidating and moving within a range which I marked with the range box in the diagram. I am expecting a break in either direction of the box and once this happens I will buy or sell (after retest confirmation) depending on the direction of the breakout.

Price has broken through the range in the downward direction but I am not gonna jump in and short the market just yet, I am gonna wait for a retest for additional confirmation that it is not a fake break

Price has gone back and is still trading within the range so I am out . I will be back during the NY session

This is the range, and there was a false break to the upside. This down break (30M chart) looks clean.

But always wait for a pullback, because a pullback can turn into a false break.

The forex market opened on Sunday with an upward trend so I waited till the upward trend ended early this morning and when I started seeing lower lows, I shorted the eur/usd. I placed my stop loss just above the end of the up trend. I made about 14 pips profit.

I marked the Asian session with the blue box so notice how after Asia ended and London began, price broke out of the blue box and started trending upwards. This would have been a good opportunity to buy after the second 5m candle

I woke up this morning to observe that the Asian session closed with a bullish candle which was in the center of the Asian range (it wasnt at the top or bottom of the range).

From my strategy I opined that when the London session starts, since Asia closed bullish, the bullish trend will continue till it hits the lowest point of the Asian session (the lowest point of the red rectangle box).

When price fell and was getting near the bottom of the box, I opened a buy order because I expected the bottom of the box to act as a support so price bounces off and starts going up

As expected price neared the bottom of the box and bounced off and started going upwards so now I am in profit but I will not close the trade just yet I want to let my winners run (just as I cut my losses early).

The trade I opened in the morning is still active, as you can see price has moved upwards and I am letting my profits run.

I got stopped out when price started falling so i exited with a few pips profit; I had hoped the NY session would continue the uptrend but it didn't happen. I am done for the day

Today, they were some option orders stacked around 800 price level so I watched as price climbed up to near 800 level and also hit a resistance area of value near the Asian high so this gave me added comfort to short the market. I made some pips profit before i exited when price neared the Asian low support level

a. Yes, there was a large options barrier at 800.

b. It was also the overnight range high.

c. It was also the high of previous 2 London sessions (Wednesday & Thursday). Chart attached.

It is now back below 780.

I took a couple of trades today and note how eurud is still trading within the asian session range withour any breakout.

One of the trades i took was a buy trade which i entered after spotting the bullish engulfing pattern near the low of the asian session which acted as a form of support.

Right now price is consolidating in a range of sideways movement, very soon it will break out of the range in either up or down direction and that will be a signal to trade

Price has broken out so this is a good time to short the market

From 30th March, the DST in Europe had started. So, the openings were 1 hour early today.

a. I had shorted it on the Franky, but I was stopped out on my first trade for a loss. Franky had broken below the pre-Franky low.

Just didn't work out, it happens.

b. My second entry was based on the fading of the pre-Franky high. It did work out fine. The lot size was lower than the first entry. Generally, after a loss, I sometimes cut the size when the loss limit is hit, otherwise you could end up with bigger losses than you are normally expecting, it messes up the mentality, atleast for me.

I'm up for the day, about 5 pips only, on my full lot size. It is not much. This week could be very volatile, with DST, all the news coming in, tariff fears etc. so try to be careful.

I waited for asian low to be breached then the reversal happened when i saw the bulligh engulfing so i took a long position and i am up by some pips profit now

Good trade, the risk seems low on the entry. Bullish/Bearish engulfing triggers at the edges are usually very high hit rate with low risk (they atleast give it a push if not just reverse it).

But I would add that the London session is down, so, it could very well be a counter trend setup.

Pre-NY opens in 45 minutes, they can mess up things. Either Fade London on continue it down.

Yes, DST has kicked in. I waited for the asian low to be breached then the reversal occured and i went long.
