think he got stopped loss since most his trades are trend following
Hi Rayner,
What is your take of yesterday drastic movement.
TIA
Personally most of my long usd positions got stopped out.
Longer term view i'm still bullish on the dollar.
Rayner
It looks like a classic cross pair tear. Did you take note of USD/JPY on that same time frame?
All the best.
Hi Rayner
I enjoy following your outlook, views and simple trading strategy. Thanks for taking time and effort to put up these videos for those who are keen on trading using TA.
Happy trading and all the best to positive consistency returns

I just shorted EUR at 1.1000, SL 1.1300 TP 1.0600.
Staying with the major trend and been watching the 1.1000 recent hourly tops. If we fail to get past 1.1031 high, I reckon we can see a lower EUR in the coming days/ week. The bearish monthly candle may still be intact.
I am also a trend follower but would wait to enter on bounces n pullbacks after observing monthly,
weekly, daily and 1 hour charts.
Hope you don't mind me sharing my views here.

CUT LOSS at 1.1041 (26 Mar at 4.37 PM)
Hi Kissmequick,
thanks for sharing so new birds like me can learn. mind if i ask why u decided to cut loss at 1.1041? did u cut manually or u got stopped out?
have a good weekend!![]()
. My ''assumption" was it appears to me that the EUR was attempting a higher high on the Hourly chart (after breaking 1.1031) thus justifying a new hourly uptrend line; and I could perhaps sell again at a higher bounce. This is a grave mistake on my part and I paid for it, but that's part of forex trading as a business.
Hi Shalomp
Manually cut out and not recommended. My ''assumption" was it appears to me that the EUR was attempting a higher high on the Hourly chart (after breaking 1.1031) thus justifying a new hourly uptrend line; and I could perhaps sell again at a higher bounce. This is a grave mistake on my part and I paid for it, but that's part of forex trading as a business.
Following that, after watching the failure at 1.1000 -1.1031, I took 2 short EUR positions at 1.0980 (break of purple trend line) and at 1.0924 (break of 100 SMA on the hourly) and will manage these positions over the candles for the coming NEW WEEK and NEW MONTH. My SL is at 1.1252 (-300 pips) and TP is open for monitoring.

Trades executed based on the above hourly chart with 100 SMA, 200 SMA and current trendlines.
Please bear in mind that the trading strategies which I just pointed out are entirely my own. I would not recommend it to anyone because we have different risk profiles and tolerance.
I have tremendous respect for Rayner's updates and commitments on this thread and I would prefer not to add additional distractions and postings to what he has already done here.Thanks for your understanding and to Rayner
Thank you and all the best to you out there on your trading journey.
Cheers

Very helpful videos. Thanks Rayner for sharing. Being a new trader in forex, please correct me if i am wrong, i would like to ask based on ur videos, the timeframe u look at normally goes across days and weeks. Can it be applied to intraday trading style? Do u do intra day tradings where u can share ur insights and tips for that? Hope its not too much to ask. Thanks in advance!
Hi hoho,
You are most welcome.
I used to trade intra day but i've stopped doing it altogether. And the reason is because it doesn't really suit my personality.
The principles are the same and it can be applied to intra day as well, but with with increased transaction cost and frequency of trades.

Hi Rayner,
is it fair to say that a trader who shifts from a longer term to a shorter term perspective e.g from swing trading to intraday trading, his stop loss targets and profit targets will lower as well?
