Since the weekend I had spoken in length in the London FXBootcamp session about seriously developing 4hour MACD divergence on every Japanese Yen pairing I could pull up. About a third of the way into today’s London session we began to see hints of a change in direction, such as USD/JPY having an hourly lower high, then breaking it’s recent price trap’ support level in the 15m chart. In class we covered the trade plans for shorting the GBP/JPY, EUR/JPY, and USD/JPY, and any trader could have done the same on any or even a basket of JPY pairs. In this video however, I will cover just the GBP/JPY. I will discuss and show in detail what caused us to both look for the short ‘clue train’ in the first place, and ultimately the actual entry/trigger criteria we used to short the GBP/JPY , risking just 20 or so pips, amounting to a fairly painless ride to just over 100 pips, before offering another pullback for an additional 90 pips reload. Very nice trading session indeed for London, certainly well deserved after the choppy sessions we have seen of late in the London time frame. FXBootcamp London Currency Coach- Christian Stephens
Although the EUR/USD managed a net move of just 2 pips from New York open to London close, there was an opportunity for a conservative and moderately profitable trade on the currency pair. Japanese yen strength, a theme seen broadly during today’s Asian session, returned at the start of the session, pulling the EUR/JPY pair down 100 pips. A weak British pound dragged the GBP/USD down nearly 200 pips following chancellor Darling’s pre-Budget report.
Before we get to the main discussion, get to know the 5 movers & shakers currencies in the foreign exchange market -
US Dollar
Japanese Yen
British Pound
Euro
The Swiss Franc
Their movements and significance are so extensive in global trade and commerce today, that these 5 giant currencies comprise just around 70% of the trading in the United States. Nevertheless, Canadian, Australian or New Zealand Dollars are among other currencies posing lesser activities.
Is it rational to purchase and use Forex Robot?
Well, it all depends on the following 3 factors…
1. It’s essential that the trader probes the recency of the robot. Or putting it the other way around, a backdated version of robot does little good. You can review the robot’s version history, while paying attention especially on the frequency of updates in that website. And when that site seems to be poor performer when it comes to regular and frequent updates, then you should move on before you end up wasting your time, money and opportunity cost.
2. It depends a lot on your prior experience regarding the typical procedures followed by trading robot. It is not possible to learn overnight how those software applications execute charting. So it’s essential that you go for a forex robot, which is capable of offering regular trading tools such as Fibonacci levels and RSI, Stochastic or moving averages.
3. And you got to also deem whether that forex robot you’re eyeing on, comes with a money back guarantee? If it does, then it’s safe to presume that this tool is surely among the better ones. Whatsoever, a trading robot provider is in most of the cases very serious about ensuring that nobody is taking unfair advantage of it. The money back guarantee is just an instrument for letting the users enjoy a peace of mind that they are insured against the failure of the trading robot.
Forex trading and traders’ analyses
When it comes to trading, forex strategy formulation is essentially tied with two major constituents – Technical and Fundamental analyses.
1. Technical analysis:
It’s related to the analyses of charts. It’s also useful when you’re planning to investigate the boom or depression region within the market. Various mathematical procedures are applied for analyzing movements in the market.
2. Fundamental analysis:
And when it comes to fundamental analysis, the economic infrastructures of several countries are probed through advanced analyses, since fresh figures are spread around the globe each and every day.
So both of these categories strategies are necessary for ensure that trades are successful as well as profitable. When any one of these analyses is missing, the other one will not be possible to contribute well in winning success in trades. When you’re associating Forex strategies with some sort of technical analyses, then you have to see to the price factor as well.
For becoming a really successful trader, it’s important that in addition to following grave forex strategies, you strive with a positive attitude in your work. Not to mention the fact that success in forex trading calls for patience since it’s not about any quick fix.

Some recent economic green shoots have been turning brown, but not all. Results from the New York Fed’s Empire State Manufacturing Survey in April suggested less bad conditions for a second straight month, sparking renewed pressure on the Japanese yen. Within minutes of the news release, synchronized pullbacks on the yen crosses provided long trade entry opportunities the best of which was a 100-pip scalp on the GBP/JPY currency pair. London close brought another 100-pip trade on a currency pair not known for such moves…watch the video to discover the clues which pointed to it.
During today’s pre-London session and then into the first hour of the London open, we were dealing with some short term British Pound weakness and Japanese Yen strength, a quality setup for a GBP/JPY short, that was very easy to plan for trade entries and targets prior to pre-London beginning. In this video I show why I looked for these setups to begin with, and how both I went about initial entries prior to the London session I coach, along with some reloads we took together in the London session with the class. The last of which ended up being stopped out break even, but over all a nice Monday starting over 100 pips, nothing wrong with that. fxbootcamp London Currency Coach- Christian Stephens
