Live Trading the Currency Markets

Recommended Posts

Hi guys,

 

I want to start a Live Trading thread for the currency markets and what I will do I will present my ideas, both with a chart that shows the reasoning for the trade and with some short description for the rationale behind it, providing targets, stop loss, invalidation levels, etc, all kind of things.

 

For that I will use Elliott Waves for my analysis and not because I am some kind of expert regarding the theory but because I love to count waves and look at price structure/patterns, validation/invalidation levels, scenarios, etc.

 

I will look at every single currency pair that I have access to and, in time, hope to build a nice thread here with your help of course.

 

Any flows/mistakes in reasoning/counting/interpreting things are assumed so feel free to intervene whenever you consider. I hope to learn as well from your comments.

 

I will try to keep some sort of order in my trades, like Trade nr. 1, etc, and on a monthly basis, term/semmester/year will try to see how many pips (if any) been able to make.

 

Again, any comments/suggestions/jokes/etc are welcomed.

Trade nr. 1. GOING LONG EURJPY HERE IN 128.62 WITH 126.20 SL TP 134

 

- the logic behind is that the previous highs in the 133.79 were made with a three waves move up and such a move is characteristic for and ending diagonal structure; we also have a nice second wave in the form of a complex correction, a double combination there with a zig zag and a flat, connected with an x wave, and then we broke higher with a nice a, b, and now looking for the c wave to the upside to take the previous highs in the 133.79, hence the 134 tp target; judging by the price structure after the previous contracting triangle broke higher, I would say this is a flat and looking for the c wave of this flat to be a five waves structure, basically an impulse. It remains to be seen

the logic behind the short trade on the eurjpy is the inability of price to break the recent highs into the 131 area.......not only not breaking them, but making a series of lower highs in a structure that on the lower time frames resembles with a running variation of a contracting triangle.......such a contracting triangle implies the previous lows are going to be taken, hence the tp........SL above the 131 highs would invalidate it

Trade nr. 3. GOING SHORT EURAUD HERE IN 1.4351 WITH 1.47 SLand TP 1.3867

 

the rationale of this trade is based on the fact that after the third wave to the upside that completed around the 1.44 area we have a nice abc to the downside, which, however, doesn't seem to be the correction needed for the 4th wave.......the reason is that this move that made a new high is not looking as being an impulsive one......it is channeling too well, corrections are almost the same, etc.......therefore more likely it is a b wave and b waves in an irregular formation rarely go above the 140% out of the previous correction, wave a, and this is giving us the SL level......target to the downside implies new lows when compared with the recent ones, so our TP level is just conservative

euraud looking good, usdjpy promising, eurusd short from yesterday has a nice rr, but it could have been better, and probably going like this in Bernanke's testimony today........

    • Date: 10th March 2025.   SNP500 Hits a 6-Month Low: Trade Policy & Recession Fears Weigh on Market`s.   The SNP500 completes a 3-week decline and falls to its lowest price since September 2024. The price continues to remain under pressure from President Trump’s trade policy. In addition to this, investors are becoming increasingly cautious about a potential US recession. SNP500 - Trade Policy and The Federal Reserve’s View On The Economy The US Non-Farm Employment data on Friday read lower than what analysts were expecting. However, the data does not yet indicate a recession. Investors are increasingly showing a lower risk appetite and cautiousness due to Trump’s trade policy on China, Mexico and Canada. The NFP Change read 151,000, 8,000 lower than predictions and the Unemployment Rate rose to 4.1%. The poor price movement is more driven by comments from the US President. Yesterday evening on Fox News, the US President addressed concerns about a potential US recession, advising the economy will undergo ‘a period of transition.’ However, some see this as a subtle warning of a short economic downturn. Though the Chairman of the Federal Reserve is taking a different tone and looking to reassure the market.     Mr Jerome Powell advises the FOMC is not expecting or worried about a US recession. ‘The US economy remains in a strong position despite heightened uncertainty,’ Powell stated at a University of Chicago event. He also said that sentiment readings have been a reliable tool for predicting consumption growth in recent years. ‘There is no need to rush, we are in a good position to wait for more clarity,’ was his answer to questions about interest rates. On the one hand, the SNP500 may witness support from the positive comments from the Fed regarding the economy. He also clarified that certain economic indicators are not predicting a recession regardless of the lower figures. However, the comments on interest rates and keeping them unchanged for a longer period can pressure the price of the index. Will The SNP500 Continue Declining? The FedWatch tool indicated a 92% chance of a pause in this month’s Fed Rate Decision, but the figure has risen to 97%. If the possibility of a rate cut continues to be unlikely in the near future, the SNP500 may continue to remain under pressure. Currently, the VIX, an index used as an indication of risk, is trading more than 4.00% higher. For this reason, the VIX continues to indicate a poor performance in the short-term. Asian and European indices are trading lower this morning as are US indices. As a result, the performance of the global stock market shows a ‘risk off’ sentiment. SNP500 - Technical Analysis The price of the SNP500 is currently trading 0.73% lower and gains bearish momentum as the European market opens. In the 2-hour timeframe, the price is trading below the main Moving Averages and VWAP. The index also remains within the ‘sell’ zone of the RSI and MACD. On the 3-minute chart, the price remains below the 200-bar SMA and sell signals may continue to materialize for as long as the price remains below this level.     Key Takeaways: The SNP500 has declined for three consecutive weeks, hitting its lowest level since September 2024. The main cause of pressure is from Trump’s trade policies and recession concerns. Weaker-than-expected US employment data raised caution. However, the Fed reassured markets, stating there is no imminent recession and no rush to adjust interest rates. The FedWatch tool now shows a 97% chance of a rate pause, reducing hopes for near-term cuts. Technical indicators suggest continued bearish momentum, with the index trading below key moving averages and remaining in the sell zone on RSI. Always trade with strict risk management.
