When most people think of trend trading, they picture momentum-driven currencies that offer a high appreciation potential to investors seeking abundant returns. However, trend analysis is also one of the best ways to manage risk. When breakdowns occur, support becomes resistance, and uptrends lose their luster. Similarly, breakouts leave shorts in vulnerable positions, as their last hope for a reversal has disappeared. As a result, if you can identify a trend and determine when it may shift, you’re far more likely to find success in your trading.
In this webinar, we'll explain:
• How to draw trendlines and use moving averages to spot trends and identify key price levels.
• How to recognize the difference between shifting trends and false breakouts/breakdowns.
• Where to place your stop-loss orders to mitigate risk while still giving your position a chance to run.
• Tips for managing risk when currency pairs are range-bound and don’t exhibit clear trends.

With risk-on sentiment largely dominating the financial markets in 2023, volatility has been suppressed for much of the calendar year. And while the relative calm helps reduce investors’ anxiety, a lack of meaningful moves among currency pairs can lead to waning momentum. In turn, this can lead to FX pairs making new highs while their momentum indicators do not. And history shows, when prices and indicators diverge, it’s often a recipe for a reversal. Consequently, monitoring these developments is essential to avoid being caught off guard when sentiment shifts.
In this webinar, we'll explain:
• The logic behind price-indicator divergences and what they tell us about traders’ enthusiasm for a currency pair.
• The most reliable indicators for tracking divergences and which ones work the best with different FX pairs.
• How to spot a divergence, and why it’s important to analyze the daily, weekly and monthly charts to assess the potential ramifications over different timeframes.
• How to trade divergences, position for a reversal, and why it typically requires more patience than following a trend.

With inflation, interest rates, central bank policy, and a potential recession hanging like clouds over the financial markets, FX pairs are susceptible to fundamental narratives, even if they lack credibility. However, many of these are long-term issues, and day traders have the luxury of prioritizing the price action, not the economic outlook. In other words, focusing on price helps you avoid the tug-of-war that unfolds among the macro crowd, which makes life easier when the goal is to spot setups with attractive risk-reward propositions.
In this webinar, we'll explain:
• The benefits of day trading and how abundant opportunities let you pick and choose your spots.
• The best day trading strategies for beginner and intermediate traders.
• How to conduct candlestick analysis to spot meaningful opportunities in real-time.
• Tips for how to avoid burnout and ensure you stay sharp during your trading hours.
