This is how I traded the EURUSD and got 140+ pips (complete strategy)

Written by Raul Lopez. Posted in Trades & Analysis.

It all comes to the reasons why to take your trades…

It needs to be a sound reason, you need to have a methodology so you can determine what risks to take and which ones to avoid…

You cant take a trade because:

  • You simply thought the market was going up
  • You followed some one else’s advice
  • You got influenced by a market analyst
  • You saw the oil price moving up, etc

The idea is to get in a trade when the odds are on your favor, when the likelihood of the market of moving in one direction over the other is greater, when you’ve got a either, a very good profit potential or a good accuracy factor…

You see what I’m getting at?

So here is the reason why I decided to trade the EURUSD…

Taking partial profits: The worst strategy ever

Written by Raul Lopez. Posted in Articles & Education.

Hey traders,

There are plenty of strategies out there in the internet, some of them are good, and some others have negative results on our results.

There are even some strategies that are good for some traders, and bad for others.

That’s how trading is.

Have you used it? At one point I did use it, until I realize it was hurting my trading results.

So here it goes.

I’ll share my strategy with you

Written by Raul Lopez. Posted in Articles & Education.

Hey trader, did you trade the Non-farm Payrolls report?

Its been a while since the last time I saw the NFP report having a large impact in the market. Could it be that the market conditions are different now?

For instance, most traders think this report (NFP) is the most important one, but in the last couple of years, I have noticed the FOMC statement has had the most impact of all fundamentals, including the NFP report…

Do you agree with me?

Or have you noticed something different?

Anyway… Please share your thoughts in the comment section!

Now, on to my strategy…

I’ll share my strategy with you

Look, I’ve been sharing my analysis with you for quite a long time now, and I’ve been doing it because I wanted to help you make better trading decisions.

Our Trading Strategy

Written by Raul Lopez. Posted in Articles & Education.

I’ve got many questions about our analysis and how it can help you take better trading decisions.

Ok, we first analyze the long term charts and decide which way to trade, the possible scenarios are: Long mode, Short mode, Not-tradable.

If we are in a not-tradable mode, then we forget about that chart for the rest of the day, if we are in Long mode, then we look for long opportunities in the short term charts (15M or 30M). The same goes for Short mode, we look for short opportunities in the short term charts, and we ignore all long signals.

All our entries are based on price action, the market itself shows us which way to trade. We use no indicators.

Why is it that we don’t use indicators for our entries?

Because indicators lag, they tell us how the market behaved in the past N-periods, it has nothing to do with the market future direction.

Ok, hope this helps.

Cheers,

RL
