Mark Mc Donnell is the founder of Forexearlywarning, we provide spot forex trading plans and signals across 28 currency pairs.

EUR/NZD Strong Downtrend

The EUR/NZD is in a strong downtrend on the major time frames like the W1 and MN time frames. When analyzing all of the NZD pairs, the NZD is currently strong on all pairs. Traders can set an audible price alert for a sell at 1.5030, this price is noted on the chart below. The next major support is at the 1.4250 area or lower, also noted on the charts. We also have other sell plans based on NZD strength in our daily trading plans.

EUR/NZD Strong Downtrend

To perform the analysis of the EUR/NZD we used multiple time frame analysis by individual currency, which is very powerful and revealing. The analysis revealed that the EUR/NZD was in a strong down trend based mostly on the consistent NZD strength in the market. Currently, the EUR pairs are somewhat neutral or choppy. If any EUR weakness comes into the market, perhaps after tomorrow’s EUR news drivers on the economic calendar, we expect a strong sell off on this pair. The Forex Heatmap® and live heatmap alert system will keep us apprised of any EUR weakness in the market in real time.

The EUR/NZD is a great pair for trading. This pair fairly high volatility and can be traded in both trading sessions, the Asian trading session and the main trading session. It can be traded after NZD news on the forex news calendar in the Asian session. Trading 28 pairs with trend indicators and great tools like The Forex Heatmap® forex heatmap is far superior to scalping the EUR/USD over and over with unreliable technical indicators.

Trend Indicators Setup For 28 Currency Pairs

This video will show traders how to set up our free forex trend indicators on any charting platform. Traders can use these indicators for multiple time frame analysis to analyze 28 currency pairs across the 8 different currencies we track every day. You can also use these trend indicators to follow our trading plans and the trends of the forex market. This is our “basic” trend indicator setup, some of our other videos will give you options for using the features and templates in the Metatrader charting platform that also fit our trading system.

This video is only 4 minutes and will show you how to set up one pair, then you can duplicate the procedure for all 28 pairs. The setup is for the Metatrader MT4 charting platform using the basic chart window, open, high, low, close barcharts and 5/12 exponential moving averages. It will show you the color settings and how to zoom and magnify the barcharts for better spacing and visibility. Using this procedure you should be able to set up 28 pairs in about 20 – 30 minutes.  We also have a set written instructions for setting up these exponential moving averages for our trading system, just click on the link.

Trend Indicators For Individual Currencies

In this video we will show traders how to set up our trend indicators for individual currencies. With this chart setup you view one pair at a time then click/navigate horizontally. Each group of 7 pairs is grouped together side by side.

For example you can set up the USD pairs all grouped together on your screen so you can see all of the USD pairs grouped together. Since the USD pairs are side-by-side, investigating the condition of the USD becomes much easier and keyboard/mouse navigation is easier. Then repeat this process for 8 currencies, 28 pairs total.

Determining what currencies are strong or weak and consistent based on the trends of the market becomes easier.   By setting up your trend charts this way, traders can group pairs together by individual currencies to match the eight currency groups on The Forex Heatmap® or our market analysis spreadsheet.

Here is an example: If the EUR is consistently strengthening in real time on the The Forex Heatmap® forex heatmap , then all of the EUR pairs will be grouped together in your charts also, for consistency. Conversely if you are analyzing the EUR pairs on the charts they will all be grouped together, just like the heatmap, once again for consistent analysis of one currency. This way your charts are set up to where the chart analytical method matches you trade entry system and is consistent. You can use these individual currency concepts to prepare trading plans based on individual currencies all trending in the same direction across multiple pairs, and it works for all 8 currencies we follow.

How To Set Forex Price Alerts

This video will show forex traders how to set audible forex price alerts on the metatrader charting platform. Price alerts are versatile and we can show traders how to use price alerts 3 different ways: You can monitor any currency pair for a price breakouts in the direction of the trend, price breakouts in either direction using straddle alerts (two alerts on the same pair), and also for monitoring price targets for profit taking.

First, a trader should locate a trend on the larger time frames for a trend continuations or breakout points.  Then you locate the breakout point on the short term support or resistance levels on the smaller time frames, like the M5 and M15 intraday time frames. Next, traders can set an audible forex price alerts at the short term levels to intercept the next price movement.

Then the video will illustrate the mechanics of setting the price alerts for any pair. When the audible price in the alert is hit, the audible alert will notify you of the price breach on your desktop with an audible alarm, and these alerts can also can also be delivered by email to your email box or mobile device. Then you can check The Forex Heatmap® forex heatmap to verify the trade entry.

This is one of our alert systems, we have several professional live forex alert systems so you always know when the forex market is moving.

Forex Trading Signals CAD Weakness

Today in forex trading the USD/CAD and EUR/CAD moved higher on CAD (Canadian Dollar) weakness. The USD/CAD moved nearly 150 pips today and should continue higher on the H4 and possibly D1 time frames, but the major trend on this pair is down on the MN time frame. The USD/CAD still has upside potential to move higher going forward for 1 or 2 two days. Sometimes currency pairs move higher on the H4 or D1 time frame even though they are in long term downtrends, so traders must scale out lots and manage the trade with stop orders to preserve any profitable trades against the major trends.

The EUR/CAD also moved higher on the CAD weakness, but this pair is inside of various levels of resistance, for that reason we would scale out lots or exit this trade. The forex signals for the CAD pairs are shown below from The Forex Heatmap®, along with the price chart movement. The heatmap provides accurate trading signals for 28 currency pairs that are better than any free forex trading signals or paid signals used by traders now. These signals can be used for day trading or entering new or existing trends on the higher time frames.
