Risk appetite returned today to the forex market as investors bought up beaten down securities which they viewed as slightly undervalued after a string of losses over recent weeks. This caused the various currency pairs to reverse direction and rally sharply.
Our commentary yesterday which included a discussion of the GBPJPY and AUDUSD having the potential to fall lower ended up not playing out as a result of this strong counter-trend rally. We still remain actively looking to sell strength in many of the currency pairs as we view this recent up-move as a simple counter-trend rally.
Into the next trading week we would look for bearish price action setups forming in the midst of this recent strength and would look to be sellers if we get a well defined price action setup at a confluent level.
Not every trade setup works out, not matter what method you employ, here at LTTTM we feel it is important to show our wins as well as our losses, even though we are NOT a signal service. Given the recent profitable price action setups we have discussed in the daily commentary it is obvious that keen traders could have still made a handsome profit this month even enduring a couple losses.

August 28, 2010 @ 9:48 amHi Nial, i have been experimenting with your trading methodology for a couple of weeks; it has become appararent to me your methodology beats out most other methods in existence. you have far fewer failures than most systems. It is impossible to have a system that never fails due to the nature of the forex markets. Keep up the good work and see you soon in your forum soon.
