This is an example of the detailed Earth & Sky Fx system analysis that South African forex mentor Pierre du Plessis supplies to members throughout the trading week using his system.
On Tuesday of this week, this was his trading plan. He uses a step by step, systematic approach which makes it easier for new members to get up and running quickly:
Good morning everyone
What’s up and whats down this morning?
Well lets dive straight in and have a look !!
Remember we have loads of red flag news scheduled this week so take note of the times and days it will come out……and on Friday we have the NFP……No Forex Please day for us here at Forex Mentor Pro….
…………………………………………………………………………
1) `Red Flag News` that can make you lose your pants if you are not careful. 💡
You can use the following web site for `SCHEDULED NEWS` for the week @ http://www.dailyfx.com/calendar
Don`t take any trades just before `Red Flag News` If you are already in a trade, protect your entry. I don’t want to meet up with you at Little Beach, Maui, Hawaii. Did you know this is a nudist beach?
For reference if you don’t want to believe me, have a look at the 4th of April 2013 at all the JPY pairs what happened with price after `Red Flag News` came out. ALWAYS TRADE WITH A STOP!
Still don’t believe me? Then you must be new to Forex Trading
Have a look at what the Swiss did to the market on the 15th of January 2015!!
You would have lost the shirt on your back, your house, your car, your personality and your virginity for a 2nd time if you didn’t have a stop in place!!! 👿

2) This week`s Earth & Sky Fx system Analysis:
This is my current `Earth and Sky Trading Zones` – Please take note of the time frames I am looking at.
Sometimes I will refer to `The mother in law` in my video`s or in my write up. The mother in law represents the 200 EMA (the pink line) on that specific time frame.
If you new to the `Earth and Sky` please make sure to read the supporting notes for this system – Look for unit in the education area under Earth and Sky System.
Go to the `Education Tab` here in the main blog and look for the `Earth and Sky Trading System` where you will find helpful videos using this system.
Remember to have a look at some of the other methods we teach here at Forex Mentor Pro too.

What’s the spaghetti indicator (RS All Indi) telling us?
The spaghetti indicators shows that we a little flat at the moment on most pairs except for the Euro/NZD that is way overbought so I will be keeping an eye on this pair too this week.
…………………………………………………………………………
1) Euro Index on the Daily chart :
Difference between last week’s open/close: Plus 109 pips
GAP TRADING:
Did we open with a gap this week? No
Did the gap close? N/A
If the gap didn’t close, pop over to the education tab – Look under Marc`s name for his “Gap Trading Strategy” and how to trade it.
Earth and Sky Trading Zone for the week:
Remember, if price don’t give us the pull back but instead make new lows/highs follow price with your fib to get the “adjusted” Earth and Sky Trading Zones for the week.
LAST WEEK WE CLOSED PLUS 109 PIPS HIGHER THAN THE OPENING so that is why we have to fib the daily chart as the main trend is still down.
Price is ABOVE the 200 EMA
34 EMA (sky) is UNDER the 55 EMA (earth)
Direction: MIXED
Potential trading zone: Between the 99.29 and 99.82 levels
Potential area to look for reaction: At the 99.70 and 99.82 levels.
Potential Profit take areas: At the 99.21 monthly main pivot
MACDEE Divergence: No
Stochastic: No man’s land
Counter Trades:
Potential Counter Trades: At last month’s low area at 98.21 levels
Potential Profit take areas: At the 99.03 and 99.21 main monthly pivot.
Warning: Counter trades are always more riskier than trading with the main trend so change your lot size accordingly if you want to counter trade !!!
Notes:
Currently I have an Earth and Sky short zone between 99.29 and 99.82 . Problem for me is that we have so many EMA`S that`s under price at the moment and I just don’t know if they will give away as support if we take any shorts. Just to many roadblocks for me to the downside at the moment.
Correlation: Remember that the following pairs make out the `Euro Index Basket` – The Euro/Dollar, Euro/JPY, EURO/GBP and the EURO/CHF. (They all move in the same direction)
