EUR/USD breaks above 1.50!

Forex TradingMost FOREX traders focus on the most popular currency pair which is EUR/USD. Lately I don't trade FOREX that much but I always keep the Windows currency gadget on my computer's desktop. The last days I noticed EUR/USD to be eager to reach out the 1.50 mark so when the gadget read 1.498 I immediately fired up my FOREX broker, Oanda. I went long on the pair as soon as it broke the resistance level at 1.5000 and have been making some easy money, since I have not traded out yet. I'll be exiting the market when a major bullish reversal pattern appears on the daily or hourly EUR/USD chart.

Eur/USD October Daily Chart

I normally trade the EUR/USD and other currency pairs on minute or 5-minutes charts but this time I wanted to take advantage of a major move that was imminent. Forex trading isn't that difficult especially regarding positional trading. However you don't get much action and most traders overlook it and consider risking their money in swing trading, day trading or scalping. As a lot of things are going on in my life nowadays, I don't have the time to do the same and I have neglected the foreign exchange lately. On the other hand the trading inner part of me wouldn't allow me not to benefit from such an obvious move.

Make money
It is difficult to make money trading forex especially when a round number such as 1.50 apperars as this level is tested heavily.So maybe a breaking will force eur either to move up or down.Maybe after all options have been hit a reversal may occur.Be careful with tight stops.
