EUR/USD (Swing Forecast)
Potential Strategy
Buy EUR/USD at 1.4713. Stop at 1.4663. Profit targets at 1.4788, 1.4845.
What is the trend?Up
What is this pattern?Bullish Gartley - See all chart patterns
Why is this significant?Converging Fibonacci levels provide strong support @ point D.
What other indicators or Fib Levels support this thesis?Bullish channel on Daily Chart.
Reason for Strategy
A bullish Gartley pattern is forming on the EUR/USD 2hr Chart. The pattern still has a long way to go until entry, but it is still worth drawing at this point.  The pair could quickly be invalidated, in which case we will redraw the pattern next week.
Trade Invalidation
A move above 1.4950 before reaching point D would cancel the trade. Additionally, a move below 1.4663 would stop the trade out. Long bars in the CD leg near the entry would also invalidate this trade. Also, if the pattern comes within 10 pips of hitting the entry, does not enter, and reaches T1, the trade is also invalidated.

Reason for Strategy
A bullish Gartley pattern is forming on the GBP/USD 4hr Chart. The pattern still has a long way to go until entry, but it is still worth drawing at this point.  The trade would also enter just below the 38.2% Fibonacci retracment of AB on the 8hr Chart.  The pair could quickly be invalidated, in which case we will redraw the pattern next week.

USD/JPY (Swing Forecast)

Buy USD/JPY at 88.60. Stop at 88.14. Profit targets at 89.28, 89.79.
What is the trend?Up
What is this pattern?Bullish Butterfly - See all chart patterns
Why is this significant?Converging Fibonacci levels provide strong support @ point D.
What other indicators or Fib Levels support this thesis?None
Reason for Strategy
A bullish butterfly pattern is forming on the USD/JPY 2hr Chart.  The pattern has nice symmetry at this point.  However, this is a counter trend opportunity, so we should be extra cautious of long bars near the completion of the trade (assuming the pattern continues to fall).
Trade Invalidation
A move above 90.65 before reaching point D would cancel the trade. Additionally, a move below 88.14 would stop the trade out. Long bars in the CD leg near the entry would also invalidate this trade. Also, if the pattern comes within 10 pips of hitting the entry, does not enter, and reaches T1, the trade is also invalidated.

What is the trend?Neutral
What is this pattern?No pattern present - See all chart patterns
Why is this significant?There is no high probability pattern so we cannot place a trade.
What other indicators or Fib Levels support this thesis?No trade
Reason for Strategy
We have drawn an near bearish channel on the 2hr Chart and will watch for new patterns to form within its context.  I think we could be a pivotal moment in this pair because we also are hovering near the long term 78.6% Fibonacci retracement of XA.

Why is this significant?There is no high probability pattern so we cannot place a trade.

Reason for Strategy
The USD/CAD has dropped sharply after the weekend, which invalidated the possible trade we set up last week.  We have now drawn a bearish channel on the 2hr Chart.  The AB=CD level that was forming at the bottom of the channel is no longer of interest because we breached the channel before reaching AB=CD in terms of time.  This is a good example of why time symmetry is so important.

Reason for Strategy
The AUD/USD trade setups from last week have both been invalidated.  Therefore we have drawn a bearish channel.  This new channel was fairly weak at this point, and it ended up breaking and rallying.  We will simply watch for the next pattern/channel to form.

Reason for Strategy
The NZD/USD has risen above our trade setup from last week, so we have taken that pattern away.  The pair shot up on the weekend open and we have drawn a bullish channel in that context.  We will likely stay away from this one for a while because of the extreme gap.

What is social bookmarking?

Social bookmarking refers to a method you can use to store, organize and manage bookmarks of web pages that interest you. These could be news articles, movie reviews, places you want to visit — any type of web page. The main advantage is that unlike traditional Internet bookmarks that are specific to one computer, you can use social bookmarking to add and access bookmarks from any computer with an Internet connection.

Another benefit of social bookmarking is the ability to share web pages with friends, family or anyone who has similar interests. Likewise, you can visit the pages that other social bookmarkers share with you.

All pages within our website include links to social bookmarking websites. These websites are free to use and require only a simple registration. This allows you to capture useful information you find on our website and share it with other traders like yourself. Your GFT bookmarks can become a reference if you have a question, want to revisit a concept that you found valuable or would like to tell someone about GFT.
