***Friday May 1st*** #GBP #USD data out!!! *** PORTFOLIO HOLDINGS => ***NEW SET-UPS => #AUDUSD #NZDUSD

General Notes:
Off to Muskoka for the day! Great weather is here and it's time to celebrate how far I have come with my trading. Great things are coming my way and this year is about to get HUGE!!! Hope you all have a great weekend! Expecting some reversals these next few days as the majors have hit their opposing zones, while the #usd hit weekly demand. Possible set-ups forming! I have been inspired lately to work hard on completing a working version of my trade plan. No trades for me until I am taking a trade plan set-up.... period! I've noticed I have been trading outside my plan so I am working on trying to stay focused on just my trade plan set-ups. I'll be posting my new revised plan soon. Trade reviews are so helpful in looking back to see what I missed and why I missed it. You have to become better with each lesson or else you'll make the same mistakes over and over again. The latest COT report shows that the Hedge Funds have taken some off their #USD & #USDJPY long positions, added to their #EURUSD & #USDCAD shorts, reduced their #AUDUSD #GBPUSD shorts and everything else has basically stayed the same. You can have it all if you trade like the institutions do. Money, freedom, the ability to travel anywhere at any time, nice homes and fast cars. All it takes is dedication and hard work!  Don't you just love trading? You can be anywhere in the world and still be able to make $$$, but only if you trade alongside the institutions with Supply & Demand! The inspirational shots to the left are courtesy of @fiiyat on Instagram. Great profile you should follow! 

The Spotlight: EURJPY
Keep your eyes on the #EURJPY as I believe we have a long way down on this pair. We have just taken out a weekly area of demand  and there is nothing fresh or original until the weekly demand zone at 122.66 - 119.11. On the daily chart we have a ton of room to the downside. I'll be looking to open a short position when the time is right! Take a look at the chart inserted for more details.

Magic Ingredient:
It is important to understand how to time the US Dollar with your trades. The key to my strategy is to time the $USD's GREEN and RED zones with the GREEN and RED zones from the set-ups. If the US Dollar and the $USDCAD, $USDCHF or $USDJPY are both entering their same coloured zones at around the same time or if the US Dollar and the $EURUSD, $GBPUSD, $AUDUSD or $NZDUSD are both entering the opposite coloured zones then the probability of the setup working out is highest. 

SUPPLY & DEMAND ZONES
Take note of the GREEN demand zones and RED supply zones mapped out below. These are the areas of interest for me because this is where there is a great deal of demand to fill buy orders and supply to fill sell orders from the institutions. 
SHADED GREEN ZONES = Strong Buy Zones

SHADED RED ZONES = Strong Sell Zones
