***Monday Jan 12th*** CFTC COT report Data is out! Portfolio Review posted!!! *** PORTFOLIO HOLDINGS =>


General Notes:
Lets start the new year with a bang!!! I have added my Trading Plan to the blog and will be tweeking it as the year unfolds. Since the trading plan is such a massive portion of a traders success it only felt right to have it placed on the blog for others to learn from. Also on the blog I have added a link to a great source of information I have recently come across which is helping me add greatly to my trading plan and overall strategy. The link is HERE so make sure you check out Alfonso's thread page on the Forexfactory website because this guy is the real deal. Learn the strategy, watch the YouTube videos HERE that he has posted and incorporate what you are learning in your trading. Lets make 2015 the best trading year so far! I have been working on my trading plan all day today. I have incorporated a few changes that I have learned from all the trade reviews I have done throughout the year. So fasten your seat belts because we are going for a wild ride.... to profits!!! I have added trend lines to my charts as I have come to realize the great advantages of incorporating them with Supply & Demand. Using both techniques to plot price action will improve my results dramatically. The Portfolio results have been posted. The winning percentage went up to 60% which is great, but the average win amount went down. Take a look at the figures below for more details. I've added many trade reviews on the YouTube channel that you should check out if you want to learn some valuable lessons. I know I have, and I will do my best to not repeat these mistakes again!  I am short biased for now on the $USD and will continue to trade the opportunities I find! I've added video lessons at the bottom of the Portfolio Blog. So do yourself a favour and start watching and learn as much as you can! 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! If so you can be chillin somewhere down south where it's warm as opposed to some of us in the cold of winter. Planning a trip to Florida after Christmas with the family and the laptop is coming with me!

 Magic Ingredient:
If there is any one thing that has added more to my success than anything else, it is understanding how
important it is 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 setups. 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. 
SHADED GREEN ZONES = Strong Buy Zones
SHADED RED ZONES = Strong Sell Zones

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. 
$USD Overview (Weekly Chart)
Perception of Monetary Standing: HAWKISH 
--> $USD broke through supply and has room to head up even higher.

--> US Dollar Still in strong uptrend.
