Jan 23 – Jan 28
Results
AUDUSD – Price broke down and put in an inside bar at support. Trade entry on break of IB for 150 pips
BTCUSD – Our level worked great for a bounce as price pushed downwards and reversed the same day. Entry when price reclaims the low on Jan 23 for $4300 pop upside.
ETHUSD – Like Bitcoin, our projected level turned price. Entry when price reclaimed low of Jan 23 for $300 upside.
EURJPY – Price grinded to the downside without a pullback or consolidation for entry
EURUSD – Range broke downside and short low of breakout candle for a 140 pip drop.
GBPCAD – Price continued to range
Markets have been quite the challenge lately with so much uncertain price movement mixed in with momentum moves. Those are tough conditions. 369 pips this past week with some complete pattern failures. With the failures, there would be no entry trigger which is why you must know why you are getting into a trade.
Crypto has returned to this weeks setup as both ETH and BTC are coming into a potential support zone. Would love to see support hold and then start seeing higher highs and lows setting up. If we start breaking below the red lines noted on those charts, it will be the biggest declines in these 2 cryptos that we have seen.
Jan 16 – Jan 21
Results
AUDJPY – The price action uptrend on the daily chart gave way turned over with price acceptance when support broke. A support holding trade failed.
EURUAD – Price broke down after a failure test of highs. Obvious reversal and range trading mode shorts at low of reversal for 170 potential to lows
EURCHF – The momentum to the upside was a good move to consider a pullback with. The pullback started well but momentum stepping in to the downside, took it off the table.
EURJPY – The consolidation at highs which is statistically bullish, broke to the downside
GBPJPY – Another failed pattern. Momentum steps in the opposite direction invalidating the setup.
GBPNZD – Break to the upside for 137 potential
USDCAD – Break of reversal candle on Jan 19 gave 62 potential
Currencies have been a challenge to trade on the daily charts this past week. While 237 pips potential is still good depending on your account, we look forward to the return of 1000 pips weeks.
Remember that these are daily setups. When you get an entry trigger, you can certainly drop to a lower time frame and trade the swing there. Day trading Forex is not my approach however it is not a bad plan for those who are getting frustrated with lack of daily chart follow through.
Thanks so much ❤️❤️📈📈
This is absolutely wonderful
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?
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.
Thanks.
@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
Hey Jay. You are welcome. Take your time, understand why I choose these setups and the trade triggers.
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
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.
Thank you for your analysis.
Hi SD,
I have been following your trade set ups. To be honest, I like your approach which has taught me alot in this market. Great work
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.
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.
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
Really nice content. I’m learning a lot on how to get in to the markets at the right levels. Cheers.
Great setup
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
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……..
Hi SD, I took a 2/1 profit on NZDJPY thanks for that and look forward to the coming weeks setups
Great work Oliver.
Please,I need some of the indicators that you mentioned in ur scalping trading strategy.
(1)Fisher Indicator

kindly help on how to get them.Because it’s not in the indicators list on my MT4 platform.
You are going to have to search for them. I don’t use MT4 but I am sure they are coded somewhere. Google, can be your friend: https://www.best-metatrader-indicators.com/super-trend/
Hi, I’m a newbie. Which charting software do you use or would recommend
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.
Hi SD – Happy New year!!
How did last week’s setups do?
