To become a profitable fx fx trader you need just a couple things. A rock-solid as well as proven fx trading strategy, in addition to the dicipline to stick to it! Inside this forex trading article we will talk about the function of forex reversal candle patterns. A system that has established it works consistantly for years, but ONLY if traded correctly, and ONLY when traded along side dicipline! Also we will talk about what candle patterns are most effective with equally significant when to trade them.
Initially we will talk about what candle formations produce the greatest fx trading setups. If you do not understand standard candle formations then I suggest doing a bit of research to identify with the terms better, because this is geared towards the above novice fx trader with atleast a foundation knowledge of basic candle formations. The best, and most time tested candle formations are the shooting star in addition to the hammer reversal candle pattern. These two candles produce some of the most consistant reversals and trend continuation setups of any candle formations
I’ve always said that each and every candle tells a story and it’s up to you the fx day trader to be competent to read that story then trade with it profitably. Shooting star and hammer reversal candle formations provide you the most knowledge in my view. They show unmistakably that the market tested a low or high and got rejected which is our initial sign that the market is going to potentially reverse. Always make certain that these reversal patterns are by a previously confirmed area of support or resistance. Purely taking a fx trade on a shooting star or hammer fomation that didn’t touch a area of S/R decreases the prospect of a good trade greatly!
Some additonal factors to make your reversal candle pattern method more strong, is first getting in reversal candles only in the direction of the overall superior trend. For example if the fx market is trending up and after that short term retraces downward. Entering a buy at the bottom of that retracement, at an region of confirmed support, and once a hammer candle formation closes, gives you the best odds of a good continuation trade. This system is discussed in depth in a forex training video called Day Trading Forex – Intra Day Candle Formations which I highly recommend you view.
Additionally, similar to any other forex trading strategies make certain you only place fx trades during active periods of the day. In the Live Forex Trading Room we only take fx trades around the European and London open and the first three hrs of the NY open. Putting on fx trades not during volitile times of the trading day frequently leads to numerous fakeouts as well as insufficient momentum following a reversal candle pattern. I hope the recommendations in this article as well as the fx strategy education video above, assist you in your own day trading and help you profit for years of fx trading to come!

www.trading-strategies.info Today’s video probably fall more under the trading tips section more than anything as the main thing I highlight is the types of things that I try to do prior to a new days trading session.

At all times I’m trying to answer 3 basis question; Where is price now? What is it doing? How can I get involved, if price goes up, down or sideways? Have a good days trading Phil

The GBP/USD, just after the London open today, had bounced convincingly off of the daily M1 reversal pivot point which overlapped with a very noticeable 2 or 4 hour trend line. Shortly after which, a better than expected Retail Sales number from Great Britain catapulted the Pound even further northward through the 15 minute 200ema, but just shy of the next level of resistance at the time of 4320 or so on the hourly chart (200ema). These longs were very tradeable using short term confirmation, as well as a news scalp on the Retail Sales release at 4:30am NY time. However, in this video I highlight how, the GBP/USD offered one final solid trade plan opportunity for a short term long position, especially since we were topping out prior to hitting resistance. Using primarily a Fibonacci study of the entire day’s range along with overlapping ema/sma’s all over the place, we were able to setup a long plan awaiting the 4250′ish Fib zone on the charts. Our initial plan involved approximately a 25-28 pip risk for a minimum of 60 pip gain prior to resistance, with a good shot at completing an M1 to M3 daily pivot theory move, along with a 38.2 to 161.8 Fib extension move for a 100 or so pip target. All that was required for this entry was a little patience to await the entire pullback, and a 1m macd recross. Ultimately this low risk trade paid off well with around 100 pips total profit depending on exit strategy. Great way to end this week’s London session!
