Choosing The Trend
How you choose the trend before your next trade is going to determine for the greater part your success or failure overall as a trader.
Marking up AUD/JPY from Spain this morning — spotting weakness, timing the short, and preparing for the London session. See how market structure sets up real trades wherever you are in the world.
Hi there from sunny Spain. It’s a stunning morning here — and I just realised it’s 2 a.m. back in New Zealand. Wild to think how far I’ve travelled, yet I’m still tracking the same charts, just from a sunnier desk.

I’ve marked up the Australian Dollar / Japanese Yen (AUD/JPY) and wanted to share the key zones I’m watching. You’ll notice a few things I’ve added to the chart:
Even with the background noise of my Spanish granddaughter enjoying her morning, I’ve managed to get these zones drawn in, and they really speak for themselves.

Switching down to the 5-minute chart, I’ve zoomed in to pinpoint the entry zone.
We got a beautiful reaction:
Since I’m in Europe, I’ll now hold off until the London session. If you’re in a similar time zone, keep your eyes peeled — the same principles apply. I’ll either update this chart or shoot another video to follow through on how the market reacts after London opens.
If I were back in New Zealand, I’d be looking to take advantage of the Asian session, but being over here gives me the chance to work the London hours — and it’s a great way to mix location freedom with serious trading.
That’s the beauty of understanding structure and market maker behaviour — you don’t need to chase trades. You know what to wait for, where to look, and how to act.
Catch up soon — enjoy your day!
