FOREX VIDEO REVIEW: London Session July 16th, 2009

Today's London session was extremely tedious and difficult. Quite a few of us experienced +15-25 pip trades come back to stop us out at break even or just slightly in profit. Essentially we had zilch for follow through during these 3 hours. However, there was one highly probable area of support showing up for the Japanese Yen pairings around 4:30am NY time, right in the thick of London's market. In this video I demonstrate how we substantiated this support on multiple time frames, which means more traders are seeing the same thing, and subsequently built a trade plan after some short term higher low confirmation, to long the Yen pairs. Specifically in this video, the Eur/Jpy. Now the risk on this trade was just around 11-13 pips, while the conservative first target was only 36-40 pips away around the 132 region, 3-1 reward vs. risk ratio which is not terrible. The steady higher low's on this trade allowed the confidence to stay in the long and keep moving ones profit stop under these lows. Now while this trade was a successful 40 pip trade or so, as luck would have it some positive JP Morgan news came out during the London lunch, and whammo a 40 pip trade was 125 pip trade in a blink. Had this news gone against we simply would have been plucked 20 pips positive or so due to a lower low. So while we have absolutely no way to know if a pair is going to reverse or not, this trade setup shows you how one can enter into a high probability setup, and should go a long way in helping some of you to leave some profit on the table if charts warrant it.

What was a yucky London, ultimately was a great London lunch finish.
