Free Forex Weekly Trading Setups

April 24 – April 29

Results

EURCHF – Both sides were in play and the short triggered with a strong move taking out the inside bar. 119 pips for the downside

EURJPY – We got the flush down and then another shot long for 184 pips to the upside

GBPAUD – Failure test of highs (resistance) and short below for 225 pips potential to the downside

GBPNZD- Shorts took over with the failure test of the resistance level for 185 downside pips

USDJPY – Flush down with no trigger and then reversal. Buy stop high of April 27 for 266 pips potential

Last week was one for the record books as all listed setups gave some price movement you could trade.  1043 pips potential last week but of course you would not have gotten all of it.  That number is just what was available and even 100 pips with good position sizing is a good week.  Some of the moves were short lived which means you need to ensure you have a good way to manage trades.  Another week where we have some seriously extended price moves with momentum.  When those happen, we’d like to see some consolidation for another leg.  Otherwise, you could be buying the highs just as price tanks.

April 17 – April 22

AUDJPY – The long idea was correct as price does break up for 209 pips. Short lived as price then dropped back like a rock

EURJPY – Another solid setup and break that drove up for 305 pips. Price then consolidated.

GBPAUD – Price moved lower from our noted area for 226 before another rally

GBPJPY – Price consolidated and exploded for 303 pips before a strong move to the downside

Quite the slow week last week with 396 pips potential.  Price action, for the pairs we consider trading, is not lacking some solid trending action.  While I do trade consolidated breakouts, even those are not setting up with great looking price action.  The following 4 setups are the best of the best and are technically good quality setups.

For those really interested in trading cryptocurrency, my buddy Mark is putting out some great videos on crypto.

Mark will show his complete portfolio of crypto and what he is looking to trade.  Grab a coffee and make sure to check out those videos.

April 10  – April 15

AUDUSD – Was looking for a retrace that never happened.

EURAUD – Price put in a rally and then ranged

EURCHF – Price broke down for 43 pips and rallied

EURJPY – Price stayed inside the consolidation

GBPAUD – Price rallied

GBPJPY – Momentum stepped into the rally which took shorts off the table. Price stalled, put in an inside bar that is a lower time frame consolidation. 177 pips on the upside break into resistance

GBPNZD – Price did break the high and then consolidated

NZDUSD – Price broke down and retested the zone for 87 downside pips

USDCAD – Price rallied and the short fell 89 pips before reversing

500 potential pips last week.  Some chart, you may want to shift up to a weekly chart to get a better view of the daily chart price action.  The USDJPY is a good example of how the inside bar, essentially a volatility contraction, can be used for a trade entry.  You still need some type of setup such as support/resistance holding or a pullback in price.

April 3  – April 8

Results

AUDJPY – Although price rallied, I was looking for a deeper pullback to get involved in a buy.

AUDUSD – Looking long and price broke up on a one day move for potential 106 pips. Since the four hour chart is our lower time frame, you’d have seen the fast reversal to the downside

BTCUSD – Bitcoin continued it’s move to the downside

ETHUSD – Downside

EURCHF – 63 pip downside move and then price ranged

EURJPY – Price ranged at support

GBPJPY – 160 pips upside drift off inside bar break

USDJPY – Gears shifted to the upside after price began the move up. An inside bar break to the upside pushed a 171 pip potential

A $3000 pop in Bitcoin and 676 pips is how last week ended up.  A few good examples of an exhaustion thrust after a strong move up that set up simple reversal plays.  You want to be mindful that it is against the trend so quick profits when price stalls is not a bad plan.

Price in many pairs looks so random that they are not worth considering.  If you can’t look at a chart and in 5 seconds think there is a setup, there probably isn’t.  As an exercise, go back over the previous posts and compare the explanations/chart notations.  You will note that what we do, is repeatable.  No explanation, over the years of these posts, has been a one off to make the results look better.  Repeatable = potential success.

  1. Hi SD.. I’m Bkay, thank you so much for the information you share with us new traders, highly appreciated…I was wondering as a price action trader, what timeframes do I have to use to check for reversal candlestick patterns?

    1. Thanks for the words. All timeframes are important depending on your style. For me, daily charts, four hour charts, and a bigger picture weekly/monthly are used.

  2. @SD

    Many thanks for replying and I would just like to add that for someone who is 53 years old…..starting out all over again I wanted to say thankyou for the amount of information you have provided for the likes of me who are just starting out.

    Good luck to you and all that follow your trade setups as for me I am going to be practicing until I know, understand the tools I will be using (including charting software), and develop my edge as a PA trader.

    Best

  3. Is there a way that the charts with recommendations can be enlarged or blown larger so that the level numbers are visible clearly. Thank you. Mohann

    1. You don’t need the exact price point. Just find the location on the chart and draw a box. You used to be able to click on the image and get the larger….but a few sites were using my images on their sites. I disabled that function.

    1. Glad to read that John. What’s great about the setups I pick and the trade triggers on the lower time frames, there’s usually a trade that works (even a little) or a trade that never triggers. Really helps win loss rate which, although not the only measure of success, it’s a good starting point.

  4. Hi SD,
    I hope I find you well.
    I can now easily find the triggers and trade successfully.

    Now, I want to spot the setups for the coming week on my own and compare what I have with yours.
    Can you tell me what should I look for or how should I go about it.

    Your help in this regard will be much appreciated.

    1. Hey Shingi. Glad to see that finding the triggers has become easier. You probably have about 3 you can use on the lower time frame trigger chart – trend line breaks, breakouts, failed tests of lows/highs. If you go back over all he setup charts, you will start to see a theme as to why I pick the ones that I do. Much better way to “get it” as opposed to me explaining it

  5. Hi SD, do you have a social media platform where you traders signals so I that I can know exactly when to take a trade. Thanks
    And great work, you’re the best at what you do

    1. Hey David. Thanks for the words. No, I don’t use social media. Weird, I know! Your goal should be to find trade triggers that work for you. So many ways to do that – indicator, reversal candle, breakouts on lower time frames, trend line breaks……..

      1. Please,I need some of the indicators that you mentioned in ur scalping trading strategy.
        (1)Fisher Indicator
        (2)supertrendTrend Indicator.
        kindly help on how to get them.Because it’s not in the indicators list on my MT4 platform.

            1. I use Tradingview for all my charts. There is a free version but since I trade stocks and futures as well, I use the pro plan and data add-ons.
