Forex Calls Recap for 7/29/16
Another boring night where we were half size, made worse by the fact that our GBPUSD call triggered long right on a Comber 13 sell signal. We will remain half size in the weeks ahead as August is usually the slowest month of the year for Forex. Those who use the Seeker/Comber, this is a great time to fade signals there.
Here's a look at the US Dollar Index intraday with our market directional lines:
As usual on the Sunday report, we will look at the action from Thursday night/Friday, then look at the daily charts of all the pairs with the Seeker and Comber separately for the week ahead, and then glance at the US Dollar Index.
GBPUSD:
Bad timing as the long idea triggered at A right on a Comber 13 sell signal (those of you that have gone through the program should have avoided the trade if you were awake and watching):
Stock Picks Recap for 7/28/16
With each stock's recap, we will include a (with market support) or (without market support) tag, designating whether the trade triggered with or without market directional support at the time. Anything in the first five minutes will be considered WITHOUT market support because market direction cannot be determined that early. ETF calls do not require market support, and are thus either winners or losers.
From the report, SRPT triggered long (without market support due to opening 5 minutes) and didn't work:
From the Messenger/Tradesight_st Twitter Feed, Rich's AMZN triggered short (with market support) and worked:
QCOM triggered long (without market support) and didn't worked:
Rich's FB triggered short (with market support) and worked:
In total, that's 2 trades triggering with market support, both of them worked.

A dull session as expected, even worse ahead of the Fed announcement (EURUSD in a 30 pip range or so). We played less than half size and got stopped on a GBPUSD trade. See that section below. These charts do not reflect the Fed announcement as they were taken before it happened.
