Scalping the EMini S&P Pre-FOMC

Trading ChartsBy administratorSeptember 17, 2014Leave a comment

I thought I’d post this chart of a profitable scalping session this afternoon on the EMini S&P Futures.

We were heading into the FOMC announcement and price action was very slow and choppy, so I was looking for quick scalps and targets.

It’s very easy for volatile price action to mess with a trader’s psychology, but from a supply and demand point of view, it was really quite simple to read.

Here’s a trade I originally posted on Twitter. It’s a short on the AUDUSD pair which had made a 2nd return to supply. The trade raises a very important point… whether to enter at a level with no confirmation, or to wait for some kind of price action such as a pinbar? As you can see,…

Why did gold really bounce?

Trading Charts, UncategorizedBy administratorAugust 28, 20143 Comments

A common setup that traders take is a break and retest of support. This setup on Gold would have had traders going long around the 1283 level and suffered some drawdown before it turned around. But what if I were to tell you there is a better way? Look carefully at the chart below and you will…
