USDCHF LONG. Still in profit, looking to add a few lots.My USDCHF LONG from 02.26.18 is panning out well as I'm sitting on +90 pips at the time of this writing. Ended last week with a Spinning Top on Friday, March 9, after breaking through the previous supply zone. That zone is now being retested and if if holds will become demand. Price is currently stalling around the 0.947 mark, which was also the HIGH for February. I'm currently ~60 or so pips from my take profit zone (Green Fib Ext Rectangle). If price breaks above last weeks high I'm looking to add an additional lot or two, bank profit on the current LONG and set my stops to break even.
One technical thing to keep in mind is that price could easily retrace to the bottom of the channel, which would also correspond to the Retracement Zone from the February low to the high last Friday. If that occurs, as per my custom I'll draw in a trendline in anticipation of a break above it. All of this depends, however, on how the Dollar performs against the majors. As I mentioned in my posts on the Dollar Index from last week, we've yet to have a trend change so all USD longs are are susceptible at the moment.
Takeprofit
Taking Some Profits on EURSUD SHORT.As per my discussion here and here the EURUSD is still ranging with price oscillating around the 1.245-1.235 mark. Although I'm not a huge fan of candlestick patterns, previous three days put in a Bearish Evening Star after hitting up against trendline resistance, area of supply, and the 61.8% retracement level. I've been short since 02.16.18 with several lots and decided to take +150 pip profit on one of them at the end of the New York session yesterday. Currently sitting on +130 pips between 3 lots. As I'm typing this the EUR is rallying intraday as the USD declines after a muted NFP announcement. As I wrote here , the USD rally can't be considered on and the prevailing trend is still down. As I see it, only a decisive break and close above 91.00 signals a Bullish dollar.
Trade accordingly.

USDCAD 1H Resistance Zone Reversal Trading StrategyThis Support and Resistance Zones Strategy will enable you to take trades exactly at the area price will reverse. Identifying & trading support and resistance lines & zones is critical for every trader to implement into their system.
Our main indicator for this strategy will be price action and its relationship to Support and Resistance. This is, in our opinion, the best way to trade support and resistance.
You should always suspect a reversal at Support and Resistance as there is a high probability that price action will reverse at those key levels. That’s because it already did that before in the past and it will continue to do so in the future as traders will always take caution on these levels so some who had open trades will exit at those levels and others will initiate new trades at these levels and that’s why it is crucial to learn to draw these Zones.
The first step of this strategy is drawing those Zones on our charts so that we can easily spot where the price would probably reverse. Drawing Zones on the chart is better done on a higher time frame so that we can examine the main reversal levels and the more critical points on the chart as a higher time frame shows us the bigger picture. We begin by drawing horizontal lines on recent Peaks and Bottoms When you are doing support and resistance trading, a line with multiple touches is far better off as it is clear that it stood against the price and passed the test for many times and it will continue to do so. WHY?
Because History always repeats itself and this continues to happen time and time again on every chart that you will ever look at.
The second step is waiting for the price action to touch the Zone.
Basically, the higher time frame takes less time and attention than the smaller time frame alternatively, the smaller time frame has more signals as the zones may get hit more frequently so you have to be more focused if you’re trading small time frames.
If the price reverses that will be good as it is what we are expecting but need a strong reversal candle though to assure that price will reverse and that it will not collapse back again.
On the other hand, if it breaks that level it may be real breaking or a fake breaking so we also should see a strong piercing candle that effortlessly break that level to assure it will continue on the same way.
The Third step of this trading strategy is to wait for the candle which hits the zone to close as this will be probably the signal candle we are waiting so look at that candle.Is it a bullish or bearish candle, is it strong or weak, big or small, does it have long wicks or small wicks or no wicks at all, when you can identify the kind of candle then you will be able to decide whether to sell short or buy long. Knowing the type of candle is crucial to identify whether the entry is valid or not.
Here are some important factors in determining a strong reversal candle because spotting that specific candle on zones makes the difference between winning trades and losing trades.
The Qualities of a strong candle are: Long body;Formed after the previous touched the level but could not break it.
You will see that weak candles are not able to breach the Resistance line and had long wicks and could not break that level so we wait to see what will happen with the next candle. Will the price action break that level or will the resistance win and the price reverses.
The fourth step is to identify where you will enter the trade. Your entry should be slightly above or below the signal candle which is the strong candle, this way you are adding more confirmation to your trade to make sure that the price will move towards the direction you expected it to move to.
Our stop loss should be placed on the other side of the zone and not too close to the level to give it some space as we said it is a Zone, Putting the Stop loss there because this the end of the trade as the price is unlikely will reverse after that point. We used a 3 to 1 RR.
BEST RIPPLE TRADING STRATEGYDid you ever consider investing in alternative cryptocurrencies other than Bitcoin? If the answer is yes, look no further, the best Ripple trading strategy can make you profitable by trading one of the fastest growing cryptocurrencies.
By far the hottest topic in the crypto community at the end of 2017 and beginning of 2018 is the surge in the price of Ripple. Ripple price has blown up from under $0.02 to over $3 in under a year and has increased by 1,400% over the last month alone.
The first logical question that must be on the back of your mind is what is Ripple and why you should be interested to buy Ripple.
Ripple value has skyrocketed and it’s on everybody’s mind. At one point Ripple has surpassed Ethereum to become the second cryptocurrency in terms of market capital.
What is Ripple coin?
Ripple is a cryptocurrency based on a private blockchain that’s permission-based and centralized. It has drawn a lot of criticism from the blockchain evangelists because it’s opposite to the Bitcoin blockchain which is public and decentralized.
In a nutshell, Ripple technology is trying to securely and instantly provide an almost free global financial transaction channel.
So, why is Ripple such a great cryptocurrency?
Ripple is trying to solve an age-old banking problem. If you think about it in the system we use today we do a lot of international currency transfers which takes a very long time for these transfers to take place. So, Ripple is trying to update that system and make it faster and more secure.
We believe that Ripple cryptocurrency has a very useful place in the market as it’s servicing a huge need.
Even though Ripple coin is different than Bitcoin, one of the Ripple’s advantages is that it has fast confirmation so, near real-time and instant confirmation of transactions. Plus, Ripple cryptocurrency is extremely cheap.

Day trading XRP Ripple we need to deploy different trade tactics because Ripple price action has its own personality.
Our TSG team has discovered through careful examination and backtesting that Ripple has the tendency to bottom on up days during a specific time of the day. Moving forward you’ll learn what the best time to day trade XRP Ripple is.
Step #1 - The 15-minute chart will give us a better view of the overall price action and on the Ripple intraday trend.
Step #2 If we’re on an Up-Day, Mark on your Chart the Time Window between 9 – 10 GMT Time
As we mentioned earlier we have found out through backtesting that the best time to buy Ripple is between 9 – 10 GMT. However, that’s only half of the equation because our statistics also show that the best time to buy Ripple is in the up days.
What do we mean by this?
We want to buy Ripple if between the time window from 9 AM to 10 AM GMT, Ripple is trading above the opening price.
If we buy Ripple above the opening price it means that we’re buying in the direction of the prevailing trend. Essentially, this is a trend following strategy deployed on intraday trends.

Now, depending on your trading skills and your experience you can fine tune your entry point within this time window.
Step #4 When day trading XRP Ripple hide your SL below the Opening Price
Any deep move below Ripple opening price will alter the bullish sentiment.
A sell-off below the opening price indicates that the buyers are weak and maybe we’re better off trying to buy Ripple on another day.

First, measure the price distance from the opening price to the high established between 9 to 10 AM GMT.

WINGS : 1H Chart : ~630% Potential ProfitI'm not convinced that the current rise in WINGS' price is its' actual breakout..
What I am certain of, is the target level.. That's solid..
Either way, if this is the actual breakout, great.. If not, then it won't be a long, but most certainly a worthy wait..
Status (SNT) : Day Chart : ~650% Potential ProfitI'm a fan of SNT..
Watched it go from $0.15 to $0.5 in a matter of days..
Very impressive price movement..
Expecting around ~650% growth before it reaches the target line..
Might be some time before it does anything significant once that happens..
Might be that it has other plans..
Who really knows?
---
Time requirement for targets to be met are undefined and difficult to project in advance..
Reasons may vary, but mainly (imo) it depends on whether BTC is bullish or not..
This is not investment advice, merely my personal opinion and therefore fallible.. Trade safely..
I don't accept responsibility for any losses incurred, but will however attempt to guide you out of a bad trade, should that come to pass as a result of my posts..
PO.ET (POE) : Day Chart Enter safely and with some patience, this profit potential should be realized in due course..
Sell when it touches the indicated target line..
