This is the 1st video in a series on economic reports created for all markets, or for those who simply have an interest in economics. In this and the next lesson, we cover the Employment Situation Report, also known as Non Farm Payroll.

Non-farm Payrolls (metatrader5.com)

Non-farm Payrolls is the assessment of the total number of employees recorded in payrolls.

This is a very strong indicator that shows the change in employment in the country. The growth of this indicator characterizes the increase in employment and leads to the growth of the dollar. It is considered an indicator tending to move the market. There is a rule of thumb that an increase in its value by 200,000 per month equates to an increase in GDP by 3.0%.

  • Release Frequency: monthly.
  • Release Schedule: 08:30 EST, the first Friday of the month.
  • Source: Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. Department of Labor.

Interview With Al Brooks, Price Action Day Trader



Here is a summary of some of the key points:

1. Brooks is a price action trader with 27+ years of experience.
2. He is an active day trader, trading off the 5 minute chart. He trades the entire day.
3. He has a purely technical approach, relying totally on price action with just a few moving averages.
4. His approach is entirely rules-based; he not use any discretion and does not consider relying on intuition.
5. He states his setups have worked for decades and continue to work.

Brooks' analysis relies on measuring movements (i.e. retracements), gauging the strength of trends, and analyzing candlesticks.

Brooks has authored a number of books on trading. Interested traders may find it worthwhile to check out his page on Amazon.

Al Brooks' Moving Average Gap Bar Strategy

The basic elements of the strategy are as follows:

1. Identify a market that is in a bear trend on the 5 minute chart
2. Wait for a retracement in which the low of latest candle is above the 20 EMA
3. Go short, targeting the low of the day.

To be clear, Brooks' approach to price action trading is much more thorough; this strategy is just one tool in his arsenal.




 

Harmonic Trading Made Easy

Have you heard any recent "buzz" about something called Harmonic Trading or Elemental Trading? Until recently not many people in the investment and trading world were familiar with these techniques. Fortunately, you don't need to be a mathematician or engineer in order to get results in your trading from employing these highly probably chart patterns as part of your overall technical analysis.
Part of the knowledge now known as harmonic trading began with H.M. Gartley who published a book in 1935 called Profits in the Stock Market. This video illustrates what the original Gartley pattern is and how this pattern as well as the more recent discoveries can be easily employed in your trading business in Forex, stocks, commodities, and futures.



When a pattern forms with specific high and low proportions that are measured with fiboncacci ratios it has been discovered that these patterns will be followed by a "potential reversal zone" which creates a highly probably trading opportunity. Besides the original Gartley pattern including the bullish Gartley and bearish Gartley, there are patterns discovered more recently by Scott Carney in 2000 and 2001. Carney is credited with discovering and researching these patterns including the bullish bat, bearish bat, bullish crab, bearish crab, Traders who are familiar with Elliott Wave will also see how these patterns correspond to Elliott Wave patterns but are a specific type of pattern that is known to be highly probably for producing a turning point and a trade entry that is likely to work out as a profitable trade.



The structure of the Butterfly pattern was discovered by Bryce Gilmore. The butterfly includes a 78.6 Fibonacci retracement of the XA leg as the B point. The CD leg is extended to 127% or 161.8% of AB.


These patterns have now been incorporated into an indicator for Metatrader 4 and Metatrader 5 which draws the pattern clearly on the chart when it forms and produces a trading alert which can be emailed or sent as SMS text to a cell phone.
