So, where does a trader look to rely on circumstances which are unlikely to occur, whether one accumulate profits and compound it over time, still you have to use leverage to take unnecessary risks to build their account in short time or pressure of making a definite amount If you rely on Forex For a living and they dream of making 10 times or even double their accounts in a month or two .

Forex Leverage a double edge sword

Leverage is one tool which offers high reward couple with high risk as well. So, If you don't learn the technique of money management correctly, the benefits of leverage won't really work for you at all.

Pound is still bullish of all the major Currencies True Trend

Its been quite sessions all the way this week amid lack of participation of strong holders, but Pound dollar is exception to the as it is trading with clear swings up and down. I found this pair to found some hurdles ahead of 1.4610-25 area, but when it is clear we certainly keep an eye on 1.4661. Chart explains that pound certainly found some bulk orders at previous area of demand and supply zones and it often happens when a pair like "Sterling", can't hold it too much in choppy market conditions and there is always happening something that really can fuel bulls and bears to participate.

Entry long was offered at 1.4485 low with minimum risk and hence it was well worthy to test 1.4600, hence I got in and out early because bit of downside rally to test can be seen and if 1.4661 is cleared then it would clear the hurdle to clear the supply and higher prices can be seen.

I always enjoy clear swings and set of demand and supply to make me feel that how much risk can be taken to see if price manage to test the high of supply and that's why I always watch 95% of the time and take action only 5% of time and I really enjoy such trades which falls for true demand and supply with complete new set of orders and Cash flow at the start of sessions, specially if it is one of the active sessions.

Trading supply and demand approach and Reaction at Crucial tests

It has been a treat to keep updating the blogs and thanks for the requests at youtube channels and also in emails . This post is all about how we manage to trade higher time frames tests and approach. As you all know Price is Fractal and We all look for historical monthly and weekly charts to better analyze our trade entries and look for better areas to put our stops and maximize our profit targets. But Indeed, If you every know what is market is about to do or react you don't really need to use stops at all or even few pips even at higher time frames because market set pending orders during test at pin point levels and It could be psychological tests barrier like 50,00 or it could be at strong supply tests.

It is a fact that during the free fall or news price did not manage to collect all the orders that it need so that is why sometime we see facts that market recover in seconds when news is released and price start to cover.

What happen in such Cases, Price recovered and test the origin of the fall and see If market reacts to it or If price has engulf the crucial support or demand we do really see a reaction when it gets to the origin of the move.

I was asked same question several times about one of my video post at youtube channel and It has really forced me to come up with a solution which is easily understood and help you manage and decide your trades accordingly.

Some pairs rise after consumption of supply immediately and fall after there is no buyers left and all the demand buckets gets filled or you have seen enough evidence of Distribution Phase or few traps after the completion of distribution phase. As these levels are easy to spot when a uptrend collapse and hints us the end of phase.

But Currency trading is somewhat different from Stocks and Indexes as there are trends does seems to stay there forever till they are finally signs of reversal seen on monthly and higher time frames and the above example is just a an small example that long term downtrend is about to resume and it can also called "redistribution", and in the example shown above is simple approach of supply and rejection and rise to "QM level", when price engulfs the demand and approach the supply again.

Then what you need to do while see such scenario set pending orders and set stops because market is going to test the next decision point if found pending orders on those areas.

How to separate Frustration and Emotions from your trading.

We all learn several techniques as a Trader, even we use same in stock, commodity and Forex or Future market, and those strategies have been used by traders since the inception of Trading, but why then they have been so successful and why we are not and the shocking answer is Frustration which brings emotions in trading that really destroy every mindset or change it for a while. Frustration can really of several type as not understanding the market price action or poorly time trade without knowing the result or reward of that trade making mistakes which could easily be avoided. Reason of raising this matter is the case that has happened to me just recently where I was stopped twice of my pound sterling trade and succeed only once but that does not patter. IF we buy and sell at the same place then It really frustrate your mind as all those several years spend in trading can really be of no use.

Pound bulls attack 1.4661 Crucial Turning pont

Situation has completely changed in Pound dollar after I post yesterday that pound will look or a decline from 14580 but It has mange to break it with ease and manage to go close 1.4661 which is clear defining point between bulls and bears. But I would put on my bet on the bull side for a ride towards 1.5035, no matter what happens to Fed and BOE.

Could be the case of buy stops and sell stops stack orders

IF you watch the chart posted carefully above, then you can probably see that If price has managed to give sellers and buyers both any chance to dominate and When It is the case price is trying to consume all the supply to buy at best of the price, and If that is the case then price probably will become volatile and all the bulls and new cash flow will be punched into the market.
