Hello
everyone, it’s Dale here with a new Weekly Trading Ideas video. Today weβre
going to cover three major forex pairs. Weβll look at EUR/USD, GBP/USD,
and also USD/CAD. But before that, just a very quick note about a sale
Iβm currently running on my best educational and indicator packs. Let me
briefly show you, and then weβll jump into the trading ideas right away.
All
right, so if you go to my website, Trader-Dale.com,
and click the βTrading
Course and Toolsβ button, it will take you straight to this page. For the
next 5 days, you can get a discount on my best educational and indicator packs.
That includes discounts on the Volume Profile Pack, the Order Flow Pack, the
VWAP Pack, and the Smart Money Pack. You can get those educational and
indicator packs separately here, or get an even better discount if you scroll
down a bit. Youβll see a bundle offer that includes all four packs together at
a massively discounted priceβonly $697 for all four.
I
should also mention that I offer a special guarantee: if you donβt like the
products, just ask for a refund. If you request it within 14 days, weβll send
your money backβno questions asked. And as a bonus, you can keep all the items
you purchased, even if you get a refund. You can learn more about the refund
policy here.
But
now, letβs go check out the trading ideas.
Letβs
first cover the euro. On your screen here is the NinjaTrader 8 platform, and
this is a 30-minute chart of EUR/USD. The level I want to talk about is
a newly formed support, which appeared earlier today at 1.1380. This
support is based on a couple of things.
The
first thing is a Volume Profile setup. As you can see, the price was recently
moving in a strong uptrend, and within that uptrend, thereβs a volume cluster.
It’s not the most significant volume cluster, but it’s important because
there’s a confluence of a couple of trading signals. The first signal is that
volume cluster within the strong uptrend. My level is at the beginning of that
heavy volume cluster.
In
addition to that, thereβs also a fair
value gapβfrom Smart Money Conceptsβhighlighted in green. I like to trade
from the beginnings of fair value gaps, meaning from this point. So those are
two setups.
Thereβs
also a third one, and Iβll need to zoom out a bit to show you. If you look at
this level, in the past it worked as a very strong resistance. The price
reacted there multiple times, which means it was a strong resistance. Then,
when the price moved above it, it turned into supportβso thatβs a price action
setup: resistance turning into support.
All
those setups align and are currently pointing to this level. So right now, I
think itβs a solid support zone. Iβm waiting for a pullback, and when the price
reaches this support, I think thereβs a solid chance the price will go up from
there.
All
right, thatβs for the euro. Letβs now check out the British pound.
This
is a 30-minute chart of GBP/USD. The level I want to talk about is a
support at 1.3500. Itβs based on the same Volume Profile setup as the
previous trade. Let me show you: we have an uptrend from Friday through today.
If I apply the Volume Profile over the entire uptrend zone, it shows the most
important heavy volume area within that trend is here.
The
support level I marked is at the beginning of that heavy volume zone. In my
experience, thatβs where the biggest chance of a price reaction is. So right
now, Iβm waiting for a pullback. If it occurs, thereβs a solid chance that the
buyersβwho pushed the price up from this zoneβwill step in again to defend
their long positions.
All
right, thatβs the support on GBP/USD. Letβs now check out USD/CAD.
On USD/CAD,
weβll also be talking about the Volume Profile setup I showed you earlier. Itβs
called the βTrend Setupβ because you use it when there is a trend. This chart
is a 30-minute chart of USD/CADβthe same time frame as all the other
charts Iβve shown you. Itβs my favorite time frame for intraday analysis.
What
Iβm going to do is apply the Volume Profile over the recent downtrend area. You
want to trade from the most important heavy volume zones, and those are here:
this one, this one, and then this one.
The
first level is a resistance at 1.3727. The second resistance is at 1.3754,
at the beginning of the second volume cluster. The third resistance is at 1.3815,
which is at the beginning of a small fair value gap, highlighted in red. As you
can see, itβs also just before a massive heavy volume zone.
So
those are the significant resistances on USD/CAD. The ideal scenario
would be: pullback to the first resistanceβreaction, then pullback to the
secondβreaction, and then to the thirdβreaction. All three levels are solid
resistances, and Iβm planning to trade all three.
By
the way, one thing I havenβt mentioned yet is the confluence with other setups.
Let me show you:
At
the first levelβ1.3727βI donβt have any other confluence, just the heavy
volume zone. But it stands out enough to be strong on its own.
At
the second levelβ1.3754βitβs also based on heavy volume, and thereβs a
large fair value gap there, which shows aggressive sellers were active, pushing
the price down. That makes this a strong level.
At
the third levelβ1.3815βthereβs also a fair value gap, but what makes it
even stronger is the priceβs past reaction. There was a very strong reaction
there, meaning it was support in the past, and now, after the price broke below
it, it has turned into resistance. Thatβs the same price action combo I showed
you on EUR/USD.
So
those are the reasons I like those levels. As I mentioned, we just need to wait
for pullbacks. Hopefully, weβll get them, and we can trade those resistances.
Now,
before I wrap up the video, Iβd like to announce the winner of the contest we
held last time. The prize was my custom-made Volume Profile and VWAP indicators
for the TradingView platform. Right now, you see the name of the contest winner
on your screen. Congratulations!
Next,
Iβll be running another contest for next week. To participate, all you need to
do is leave a comment below the video Iβll post on YouTube. Next week, Iβll
randomly pick one person to win this same set of custom-made indicators.
Thatβs all for now. Thanks for watching the video, and Iβll be looking forward to seeing you next time. Until thenβhappy trading!

A little knowledge can be a dangerous thing …. I thought that if I followed the lesson to buy GBP/USD when the price returned to the level where it was expected to be defended and bought by the buyers , I could place a buy order and make some money.
Buy order in place I could wait for the pending order to be opened, which it was overnight when I could not watch it . Price did not reverse and kept falling. Trade is still open, and I am now waiting for price to rise to my profit target.
I now realise how much more I need to learn from Volume Profile , so its back to the book.!
