Day trading analysis - GBP/USD (13/11/2009)

Another divergence trade on friday. This divergence is confirmed by price resistance at the 200% Fibonacci extension level. Trade is entered on the turn of the zigzag on repulse (at 1.6683) with first profit target at the day's R1 level (1.6636) and second profit target at day's pivot (1.6577). As seen most of the time, trade couldn't make it to the second target level. But with good trade management, a 53points first profit target is substantial enough to make a lot from this trade.

Trade is entered on the turn of the repulse-zigzag indicator at 1.6676 with first profit target at 1.6724 and second target at 16746(day's pivot level)

Another good divergence trade. Price meets resistance at the 100% fibonacci level. Repulse-zigzag indicator is showing a strong divergence from price action. We enter trade at 1.6603 with first profit target at 16559. And second target at 1.6500. As it happens some of the time, price could hit the second target.

Day trading analysis 2 - GBP/USD (05/11/2009)

A bullish continuation trade. This is confirmed by the price support seen around the fibonacci confluence levels (1.6548-1.6550). We entered trade on the turn of the repulse-zigzag indicator at 1.6582. We played cautious in this trade as we were slightly concerned about the strength of the uptrend after UK interest rate announcement pushed the price to new highs of 16637. Our risk-reward ratio was therefore 1:1 (30 points potential profit, 30 points potential loss). We took profit at 16612.

Day trading analysis 1 - GBP/USD (05/11/2009)

An interesting trade for the aggressive trader. A perfectly formed divergence of price action from repulse-zigzag action. This is also confirmed by the strong price support seen around the Fibonacci confluence level.
We must admit we didnt take this trade since ideally, we prefer our uptrend continuation trades to be above the 200 exponential moving average and the daily pivot level. This trade didnt meet this criteria but as we can see, it was an excellent move.
