The following is the weekly review for the forex strategies covered in the EURUSD Day Trading Course.

Below are the charts highlighting the patterns that occurred during the week, as well as comments on the price action of the day and how that affects our trading decisions.

These strategies can be traded anytime during the London session and up till about noon EST.
Most days I trade from about 830 to 10 EST.
My charts are MST (EST minus 2 hours).

These strategies are based on a 1-minute chart.

This week I took a number of trades that aren’t specifically covered in the course, but that are based on the same concepts.

I’ll quickly explain those concepts, but primarily I just wanted to show that you can expand on these strategies and build a larger arsenal of strategies to capitalize on the movements that typically occur in the EURUSD. For myself, I don’t even think of them as different strategies, they are all based on price action concepts.

EURUSD Day Trading Strategy Review

I missed a couple of days this week as I needed the sleep and slept in.

Here are the charts for May 2, 5, and 6, in that order.

May 2, above, didn’t have a lot of movement to start, but there was still a good assortment of trading opportunities. There were a number of patterns covered in the course, as well as some additional trend continuation trades (will add a video to the course within a week).

More than 8R potential that day.

May 5, above, provided a number of quality opportunities. Some patterns are covered in the course, and there were some additional trend continuation trades.

Notice how I noted the typical wave length. It is useful for assessing whether your targets are likely to get hit. And that also affects the SL because the target is 2.5x the SL. Thus tried to keep SL at 3 pips or a bit less if possible (target at 7.5 pips or a bit less), since most waves are only 5-8 pips.

More than 8R potential that day.

May 6 was another 8R+ potential day. Big trending moves meant not a lot of classic pattern trade setups (covered in the course) but it was a great day for trend continuation patterns.

You can probably see the continuation pattern is relatively simple and is very much like trading the right half of an RT or RB.

I picked an SL size that seemed adequate and stuck with it, because some of the actual SL sizes were just too big.

“R” in trading is a standardized risk amount. It could be 1% of the account, 0.5% of the account, or any amount you choose based on your position sizing method.

In other words, if risking 1% of the account per trade, 45R means a 45% profit. If risking 0.5% per trade, it means a 22.5% profit.
