Support and Resistance Are Stable Points When Trading

Pivot point, support and resistance calculations are widely accepted as the simplest yet most effective trading strategy. They are well trusted by traders, banks and all financial institutions as clear indicators of the strength or weakness of the market. They are used as the basis for most technical analysis. The pivot point is the point in which the market sentiment changes from bearish to bullish. 

Technical Analysis



The EUR/USD pair has broken the resistance level and turned towards the support level point of 1.2903. Therefore, the pair has already formed a strong support at 1.2803 / 1.2894. The pair has also formed a strong support at the level of 1.2803 / 1.2894. The pair tends to move above 1.2803 / 1.2894 with the first target at 1.2970 initiating an uptrend in order to continue the bullish mood towards the point of 1.3015 and further to 1.3130.






If the trend breaks the weekly pivot point (1.3017), then the pair will go upwards to these targets. However, it’s last strong resistance level (1.3140) is still able to begin a downtrend. Thus, the market indicates a bearish opportunity at the level 1.3140 on a 4 hours chart with the first target at 1.3090 and continues towards 1.3000. 

Weekly Pivot Points:

Resistances


R3: 1.3392

R2: 1.3266

R1: 1.3143

Pivot Point: 1.3017

Supports

S1: 1.2894

S2: 1.2768

S3: 1.2645

Good Luck Trading!

Money Management Saves the Trading Day

Yesterday our team of experts was monitoring USD/CAD

The resistance was spotted at 0.9885 so we opened a Put position. Although we had a clear plan we were careful because we knew about the high volatility and the next resistance was spotted at 0.9892

As we predicted the price rose and we reached the resistance so at that point we decided to go along with a CALL position investing double the money we put on the first position. 



By the end of the trading day we ended up earning 85% on the second investment and losing only 40% on the first one.

First position was opened with 10.000$
Second position was opened with 20.000$

We earned 17.000$ on the second position and lost 4.000$ on the first one.
By the end of the day we ended up earning 13.000$


Our aim is to teach you how to trade through our examples.


Hope you enjoyed our analysis and you will enjoy our free signals service as well. If you have not yet signed up, you can do so at www.brokersignals.com or through the blog.

How to Take Advantage of Resistances? The USD/JPY


While support is nothing more than a price level that is opposed to the continuation of a downward trend resistance is a price level, which hinders the continuation of an upward trend.

These two levels can be exploited very efficiently when you decide to open a position with binary options.

Take for example the investment made two days ago due at the end of the week, and weekend mean the trading week, so until Friday. '

The first resistance of USD/JPY was identified at 78.80 so the advice was to invest 2% of the capital with a PUT option (down)

As we put the deadline to Friday '19 we were monitoring the investment and we see that during the night USD/JPY has passed the first resistance going to land on the second resistance, identified in 79.00
In this case, how do you act?

Very simple, you have to open another location in fall with the same maturity but with twice the capital, then, before we used 2%, now let's say 4%.
This will allow us' to go to earn at least the second position by covering the losses of the first and closing in profit.

I take a practical example that always helps. Newcomers to the world of binary options are self-explanatory clear and concise, but they learn fast!

  • First investment: $ 1,000 Discount
  • Second investment: $ 2,000 Discount
  • Total invested: $ 3,000
Assuming only the second investment will go 'successful 85% of $ 2,000 = $ 1,700
$ 1,700 minus $ 1,000 loss (worst case) = $ 700 profit.

Here you can see from the graph that the investment is going well and that the trend is following the rules of the resistance.


The next resistance is spotted at 79.21 so if it goes up follow the same strategy, open a Put with long term expiration, we put 19 of October to be safe, using a money management of 8%.

If you also want to receive the advice on which investments to make just subscribe to mailing list BrokerSignals recording. Ah if you do not have an account to trade you can open one clicking here. 

 Good luck and see you on the next trade!

Strong Volatility - Technical Analysis

Our Team is waiting for the market to be less risky, we are monitoring the main currency pairs trends.

Yesterday we had a rather eventful day on the markets, with sharp increases in volatility that have not managed to take a clear direction to the markets. This means that we must pay attention to the technical levels individually on each instrument we are going to analyze, without using the correlations from the operational point of view, but only at the level of analysis. The indicator “Speculative Sentiment Index” is signaling light downsizing at the level of mismatches on the long side of American dollars with markets that actually are in stages of congestion of short period, which may lead to increased volatility when trading in Europe.

Meaningful data on the U.S. trade balance are expected, but they should not trigger large movements in the markets due the discount large deficit in the US market.



EUR/USD
The euro was very volatile yesterday, with attempts to rise in the morning, but was unable to overcome the 1.2910 area, referred to as a strong resistance. The good risk reward offered on possible sales has meant that we could set operations with short target 1.2835 areas, which has been slightly exceeded, without reaching 1.2805, the natural level of evolution of the U.S. dollar down euro taken Friday afternoon. The levels of resistance, is found to lie still in the area 1.2890 (static points) and 1.2910. Also today it will be difficult to operate in bullish breakout, which should be used as a defensive strategy in case of sale on the elements, taking into account that only 1.2910 after breaking strength take up to 1.2940. Upon descending, the objectives are given by figure 1.28.

USD/JPY
Breaking levels for dynamic channel narrowing of volatility that we have seen the dollar yen, reaching 78.00, which is now to be the most important level to follow for the day. Between 78.20 and 78.25 passed all points of resistance, is a price range that may contain a resumption of foreign exchange and provide excellent opportunities from the point of view of the risk / return ratio to buy yen.

In case of direct access, as mentioned, the speed of 78.00 can be 15/20 points to downward.

GBP/USD
Situation of increased lateral to the cable, that after the descent is accumulating waiting to see which direction to take. The surfaces to be able to exploit this are trading laterality are passed around 1.5970, with 1.5960 as the point to be assessed in case of breakage bearish that could reach at 1.5935, while between 1.6025 and 1.6050 pass the resistors and the average static to 100 periods exponential. In case of his failure we do not expect climbs over 1.6075.

AUD/USD
The Australian dollar has managed to break the resistance of 1.0230, reaching two goals reported on 1.0250 and 1.0275. There are now other levels through strong resistance between 1.0275 and 1.0300 which can provide excellent opportunities for the sale of Australian dollar. Our team is taking into account the opportunity to attend a False breakage of the asset at 03 figure, a crack that could become permanent over ¼ 1:03.

Mistakes and Logic of Traders That Happen Way More Often Than They Should

The misconception that signals are a trading system that tells you exactly where to enter and exit a particular market.
Realistically, signals are only an analytical and forecasting tool. They simply help traders develop and use their own trading system, based on their own personal risk tolerance.

Running out of patience in the middle of a pattern while waiting for confirmation of a trend change.
Traders have to give patterns time to unfold before they jump in. This requires discipline, and a solid understanding of the many ways patterns can unfold.

Over-relying on indicators to precisely spot turning points. 
Markets can stay overbought or oversold a lot longer than traders think.

Flawed logic that a trend will remain until an event changes it. 
This false assumption puts traders on the wrong side of the market more times than not, especially at major turning points.

Buying options with too little time left to expiration.
The as time moves closer to expiration, it begins to accelerate and the chances of success diminish.

Flawed logic that news events drive market trends.
The opposite is true in that economic, political and social events lag market trends.

Buying puts or calls that are way "out of the money," with no other complimentary transactions.
Unless your timing is absolutely perfect, which is extremely unlikely, your chance of success is low.
