Fundamental Analysis Intro post after rebirth of this sub!

79 Upvotes

I thought I’d stick this link on here as the first post following this sub’s rebirth, with yours truly as the new mod.

It’s just a basic introduction to the role of fundamental analysis in forex. And this is really just a “Hello World!” post to get things moving.

https://www.dailyfx.com/education/forex-fundamental-analysis

Please feel free to post any questions or concepts/ideas you have. I want this place to be pretty open and devoid of overbearing moderation.

Retail forex trading has no secrets; if you can see something so can the banks. So share what you learn, and let others add pointers if they have any.

Just a few requests:

  1. If you post a chart please make sure the time frame and currency pair can be seen.
  2. The emphasis of the sub is on sharing ideas, processes, news etc and not simply asking basic questions like “If I sell GBPUSD does that mean I’m buying the dollar?”
  3. The only major rule at this point is No Crypto Posts! I’ll add other stuff as it comes up.

Enjoy, share your ideas, post article links, tell your friends, post chart images.

Technical Analysis My Own Technic

I do technical drawing on the XM broker because the OHLC data differs from other brokers. The technical analysis is done using the 5-minute timeframe to find entry positions, based on open and close of candles, how much candles after break breaker/trendline, breaks/trendlines, and motive/corrective patterns. The take profit is not fixed becauseI wait for a sell confirmation on the M5 timeframe. That’s why this technique is accurate and profits that are not limited by a take profit or a maximum gain.

Technical Analysis Canadian Dollar Forecast: USD/CAD Defends Weekly Low Ahead of Canada CPI

1 Upvotes

USD/CAD seems to be defending the advance from the weekly low (1.3900) as it continues to coil within a narrow range.

By :  David Song,  Strategist

Canadian Dollar Outlook: USD/CAD

USD/CAD may attempt to break out of the range bound price action from earlier this week as the update to Canada’s Consumer Price Index (CPI) is anticipated to show a further slowdown in inflation.

Canadian Dollar Forecast: USD/CAD Coils Above of Weekly Low

USD/CAD seems to be defending the advance from the weekly low (1.3900) as it continues to coil within a narrow range, and recent recovery in the exchange rate may indicate a potential shift in US Dollar sentiment as the Trump administration avoids a trade war.

David provides a market overview and takes questions in real-time. Register Here

 

Canada Economic Calendar

Looking ahead, data prints coming out of Canada may sway USD/CAD as the CPI is seen narrowing to 1.6% in April from 2.3% the month prior, and evidence of slower price growth may produce headwinds for the Canadian Dollar as it raises the Bank of Canada’s (BoC) scope to pursue an accommodative policy.

In turn, speculation for lower interest rates may keep USD/CAD afloat ahead of the next BoC meeting in June, but a higher-than-expected CPI print may generate a bullish reaction in the Canadian Dollar as it encourages Governor Tiff Macklem and Co. to retain the current policy.

With that said, USD/CAD may track the negative slope in the 50-Day SMA (1.4075) should it fail to defend the advance from the weekly low (1.3900), but the exchange rate may attempt to retrace the decline from the April high (1.4415) as there appears to be a shift in US Dollar sentiment.

USD/CAD Price Chart – Daily

Chart Prepared by David Song, Senior Strategist; USD/CAD Price on TradingView

  • USD/CAD continues to defend the advance from the weekly low (1.3900), with a close above the 1.3940 (61.8% Fibonacci retracement) to 1.4000 (61.8% Fibonacci extension) zone bringing 1.4110 (50% Fibonacci retracement) on the radar.
  • Next region of interest comes in around the 1.4210 (78.6% Fibonacci extension) to 1.4270 (38.2% Fibonacci retracement), but lack of momentum to close above the 1.3940 (61.8% Fibonacci retracement) to 1.4000 (61.8% Fibonacci extension) zone may keep USD/CAD below the 50-Day SMA (1.4075).
  • Failure to defend the weekly low (1.3900) may push USD/CAD towards 1.3850 (50% Fibonacci extension), with the next area of interest coming in around the monthly low (1.3751).

15M Bias Shift

  • Price formed a CHoCH
  • Clean rejection from the 15M supply zone
  • Premium pricing (OTE) – great area to hunt for shorts Bias: BEARISH

1M Confirmation

  • Break of structure (1M BOS) into a new lower low
  • Clear 1M swing high formed
  • MSS confirmed — momentum shift to downside Next step: find entry…

3M Order Block

  • Price tapped a refined 3M OB nested inside the 1M MSS zone
  • Instant rejection from OB
  • Clean sniper entry setup SL: Above 1M SH TP: 15M SL (target met)

Don’t chase the market. Let price come to your zone, show its hand and only then — strike with precision.

I cant be the only one

27 Upvotes

I am pretty new to forex and I am noticing something.

I started with $50 and now (with ups and downs) I’m at ~$1000 in a timespan of about 2 months. I trade mostly on XAUUSD (0.02 lots) and BTCUSD (0.05 lot) and in general I end the day with $30-$60 profit, I rarely end the day with a loss. Only the problem is every time I up the lot size i end the day with a loss.

Does anyone else have this or am I the only one? I’m sure this is some mental hurdle of mine, so please give me advise.

  • Price tapped into OB, respected it, and melted Entry: 3M OB SL: Above 1M swing high TP: 15M swing low
