A Look Back At Forex Trading - 4/28/06
A Look Back At Forex Trading - 4/28/06
Once again following our rules saved us from taking an ugly loss. I hope most of you headed our warnings and got out of any position prior to the 10:00 AM news. Mr. Bernanke will testify before the Joint Economic Committee of Congress on the U.S. economic outlook, in Washington, and Cable went wild.Hey that might be a great name for a new web site, "Cable gone wild" a ... never mind. So anyway it's safe to say we have broken out of the range we were stuck in all week. When a significant resistance or support level is broken it is usually done with a big move and today was no exception.Last night we set our entries at 1.7900, we cancelled our trades at 9:00, we were still 40 pips away from getting in and the news move was setting up to be huge. We made no money today but that's all right, because we lost no money today either.Given the massive moves in cable there were many traders who lost and we were not one of them. Our favorite rule is, it's more important not to lose money than it is to make money. Our aggressive money management and compounding system allow us the luxury of saying that, and meaning it.Tonight we are trading around 1.8008. We will be looking to go long for the first time in a while, all of the indicator support further increase.There will be a region of resistance starting at 1.8113 going to 1.8136. We will look towards a support level below 1.8000 for our entry. We must also keep a watchful eye on the news, the GDP is due out at 8:30 AM EST, and consumer sentiment at 9:45 AM EST.Remember to play it safe, its better to have a safe entry and not get into your trade than to have an over aggressive entry and get sopped out of your trade for a loss. And it has never been more important than now to watch the news, remember the best way to deal with news is to get out of it's way.Remember, the best thing you can do for yourself is get a top notch forex trading education. There are several places to find a forex trading course or forex seminar.We find these support and resistance levels using a set of technical indicators and other variables that we have found to be most successful for us. We use several other indicators and a variety of technical analysis techniques to enter and exit all of our trades. Every trader will have a different combination of indicators that makes the most sense to them. Take the time to learn how to develop your own trading style. Remember a forex trading education, forex trading course, or forex seminar is worth its' weight in gold.

The fundamental traders are reacting drastically to minor news, so, when the fed chairman testifies which usually produces significant volatility, we could see huge moves.Last night we set our entries at 1.7900, we closed our first trade for 40 pips and our second for 60 pips. Some of our traders also took a long position at 1.7800, and they closed their first trade for 60 pips and their second for 100 pips.I personally only trade with the trend I one direction, but this is a viable, and not to mention a very profitable position. The greatest asset we have in our trading system, is that we encourage our traders to become independent traders with their own personal style and rules.Tonight we are trading around 1.7856, which is a little lower than we were last night. We will be watching the resistance level around 1.7935 closely to see if it holds once again.If it does play the range down to the support around 1,7800.Remember to play it safe, its better to have a safe entry and not get into your trade than to have an over aggressive entry and get sopped out of your trade for a loss.

When I look at the charts tonight I think of my favorite Led Zeppelin song, The Song Remains the Same. Cable will once again be testing the resistance around 1.7935.If this sounds familiar it should, we have been tell you about this since last Thursday.While we believe it will hold only time will tell for sure, we must be very vigilant in watching in the New York session, especially with the release of the consumer confidence report at 10:00 AM.The fundamentals are all over the place, due to fears of the recent and dramatic increase in gasoline prices.

If this current resistance at 1.7935 holds and we see a reversal, we will look towards the support cluster at 1.7680Tonight we are trading around 1.7864. We will be watching the resistance level around 1.7935 closely for another reversal. This should be a great area to be looking for a sell.

Cable continued its climb today with solid movement. Last nights trading gives me an opportunity to discuss another key factor in our strategy. When we got up this morning we had already closed our smaller trade for 40 pips and had a mild pullback, we closed our second bigger trade at 1.7720 for only 35 pips at 8:00AM.Had we stayed in our trade we would have closed it for 85 Pips @ 1.7770. This looks like we lost out on 50 pips, but you can't lose what you never had. We have strict rules about certain news, and those rules told us we had to close our trades before the release of the PPI and housing starts at 8:30 AM.The reason we have this rule is simple, in our years of trading experience we have seen 35 pip positive trade become a 40 negative stop loss in mere minutes. After witnessing this again and again, we decided it was much better to take the sure 35 pips off the table and bank them, and not risk them with the unpredictable move of a significant piece of.Last night netted us 70 pips, not too bad, and with Cable heading into a more trending market, we are poised to make more.Tonight we are trading around 1.7810. We are again looking for a buy. There is some support around the big number 1.7800, and even more around 1.7870. The first resistance is going to be around 1.7900. All indicators appear to be signaling that cable will continue up and test the resistance at 1.7909.The most important thing you can do is get educated. Learn about investing and all the aspects involved. Don't trust your finances to anyone else no matter how lofty their promises.Be confident in yourself and your abilities and I think you'll be pleasantly surprised with the results that you will see.We find these support and resistance levels using a set of technical indicators and other variables that we have found to be most successful for us.

Cable final broke through the super resistance at 1.7600 yesterday. Even though we had a losing trade last night, I have to say I am glad to see that tight range behind us. Maybe now we will see a few prolonged and definable trends.If this is the case it will make it much easier to make a good profitable trade. On the other hand Cable could just as easily slide right back into a consolidation sideway market. Only time will tell.We we lick our wound from last night and bid farewell to the 1.7600 resistance level. It served us well over the past few months holding on at least a half a dozen occasions. Lets take a look at last night and see what it took to break that resistance. Was it a 20, 40 or 60 pip move, no way? It took a lot more than that to break through, it was a 150 pip move that did the job. Only a move of this magnitude would have the momentum to break and hold above the established resistance.Last weeks trades were not bad, but last night was not so much. We now have a possible trending market to play for the first time since the first of February.Tonight we are trading around 1.7710. We are looking for a buy for the first time in months, and some of our traders are going to play both a buy and a sell at opposite end of the expected range.There is some support around 1.7706, and even more around 1.7680. The first resistance is going to be around 1.7750. We do like to caution traders on making too aggressive of an entry, the 1 hour MACD is still on the sell side of the signal line, although there appears to be some divergence on this chart recently.

Cable continues it's range trading, as we approach what should be the ceiling, and if the pattern holds, we should start yet another march down towards 1.7230. Keeping in mind that the last trip down stalled and reversed at around 1.7375.This range has been in place for months, and until we break 1.7650 on the high side or 1.7200 on the low side, cable will continue to bounce in the range.On Wednesday night our trade was excellent and yet we did not make our entry price, thus we did not make our trade. You might ask why we feel our trade was excellent, well here is why.We resisted the temptation to make an aggressive trade and increase our risk of being stopped out. There were several reasons we could have used to try to justify a more aggressive trade, but in our system we teach our trader to stay with the safer trades, it's much more important not to lose profit than it is to gain additional profit.Our money management and compounding are optimal when utilizing this technique.Tonight we are trading around 1.7570. We have the super resistance level around 1.7600, that has held earlier in the night. Now is the perfect time to interject another important part of our trading strategies.If you have missed your optimum entry point because you weren't watching the market DO NOT fall to the temptation of making a bad entry point just because the market has come down off your resistance level.Set your entry and if the market does not get back to it then so be it, as we have said many many times already, not making a trade is a valid position.On the support side, we are looking at a range from 1.7480 to 1.7500.

Hollywood made a movie about this market last year. It was about a couple of friends going to the Napa Valley for a wine tasting tour. " Sideways". Consolidation continues with trading in the established range.This has been a brutally tough market to make money in, but with patience and preparation, there are many winning trades to be had.Last night our entry was perfect, with the trade only going against us for a total of three pips at its worse. Then we closed our first trade for 50 pips, and our second trade for 90 pips. Not a bad night of trading.Tonight we are trading around 1.7510. We do not expect any drastic moves up or down with the holiday fast approaching. With that said there is some minor news being released tomorrow, which includes retail sales, Business inventories and import/export prices.There is a minor region of resistance starting at 1.7530 and going up to 1.7575, quickly followed by the super resistance at 1.7600.On the support side, we are looking at a range from 1.7480 to 1.7500. There have been very few definable significant trends to ride.It is all the more important to adhere to your risk vs. reward and money management rules, and most important you personal trading rules. The importance of a quality forex trading course and good forex trading education is magnified in this type of market.No market stays the same forever, but when you get the opportunity to almost predict what's coming...jump on it. This sideways market has been a great opportunity for all of the beginners to learn the skill of patience.No trader can be successful with the four major attributes. Confidence, aggressiveness, discipline, and patience. In the last few weeks, it has been so important to wait for the good support and resistance levels instead of jumping in ahead of them, and ultimately taking a loss.Now, don't get me wrong, sideways markets can be very difficult to make significant money in, but that does not mean that there isn't money to be made. In fact, it is very common to be almost 85% accurate in this type of market due to the very predictable top and bottom of the range.That being said, you might only be able to make 2 or 3 trades per week, which is more than enough if that's all that is available.

It's nights like last night that make all the analysis worthwhile. Although, trading should be completely unemotional, I am sure that we all feel that little boost of confidence when we nail a trade perfectly.Both our entry and exit were within 10 pips of the high and the low respectively. Feel free to surf the entire web and see how many traders can boast that type of success.Certainly, there won't be many. As I mention below, most managed funds (you know, the ones that the pros handle) have been losing at a remarkable pace over the last month or so.OK, so now to the trading.We had another great trading night last night. Based on the resistance and support levels we discussed last night we entered our trades @ 1.7460, and we were able to close the trades for 120 pips @ 1.7420 and 1.7380.Utilizing the proper money management and cushioning technique taught in the trading in Black and White trading course to we were able to pick a safe yet successful entry point, and a safe stop loss.Then looking at support levels we chose perfect profit targets, exiting our large trade just two pips above the daily low. It is very hard to get better than that.This has been an active region for trading the last couple of months as Cable continues to trade in the tight range from 1.7230 up to 1.7600 and back down again.Tonight we are trading around 1.7425, just 15 pips below yesterdays close. We will once again look to the resistance range with around the 1.7470 level. This range goes all the way to 1.7500. As far as support for our potential profit target we will be following what happens to price action around the 1.7380 range again tonight. While most of the managed funds and signal services have been getting crushed over the past few weeks, we are starting off yet another winning week.If you want to start experiencing winning weeks like the ones or traders have been having, take a look at our forex trading course.We find these support and resistance levels using a set of technical indicators and other variables that we have found to be most successful for us.

Well, another week of chart watching is coming up. I look forward to nailing these support and resistance levels again.As I will discuss later, it is important not to be lulled into a state of laziness due to the fact that we are near the same price levels again.Every night presents new support and resistance indicators. It is important that you take the time to reevaluate your support and resistance levels on a nightly basis.We find these support and resistance levels using a set of technical indicators and other variables that we have found to be most successful for us.

Learn how to develop your own successful Forex Trading style with our Elite Forex Trading Course.Just keep that in mind for your future trading.OK, so now to the analysis.Cable continues to trade in the tight range from 1.7230 up to 1.7600 and back down again. On Thursday night we did not get any bounce up from the open at 1.7523 to get into a trade in a favorable position, so our position was not to take a trade.Remember not taking a trade is a valid and often very financially sound position. We expect cable to continue in a slow downward track, to around 1.7250, where for the past several times it has had a very strong rebound back to the 1.7600 level.Tonight we are hovering around 1.7440. There is a resistance range with many solid levels, including several Fibonacci lines and previous swing highs around the 1.7470 level.This range goes all the way to 1.7500. This is where will find entry and stop loss points. As far as support for our potential profit target we will be following what happens to price action around the 1.7380 range.If this looks familiar it should, this is the third time in as many weeks that we have been looking at these exact same levels. The one thing we have discussed with most of our traders, is that you must not let the familiarity of the levels allow you to get lazy and not do your homework finding your levels, and if you think you could be a little better at finding your entry, stop and profit target levels, but you are not sure how. Remember, it is important that you help yourself by getting a top notched Forex trading education.
Being a Calculated Risk Speculator or Just a Gambler
Being a Calculated Risk Speculator or Just a Gambler
He or she, who is known to gamble on horses, or dogs, or other sporting events etc., is often branded a persona non grata in certain circles.However, if a person speculates on buying and selling securities, foreign currency, or property, their classification would point to a persona grata.Both cases are of course a form of gambling dressed in different clothing. In both cases, there is a possibility of risk loss or the possibility of bigger gain. The need to arrive at an opinion without having positive evidence to back it up is equally there. So is the problem that complete facts are hardly ever disclosed, to enable the finding of a certainty.In spite of these hurdles, in the case of property and foreign currency buying or selling, the chances of getting it right are better as opposed to finding the outcome of a horse or a dog race, or a football game. Getting involved is also less of a worry, because even if you get it wrong, you still have that house or that other currency you bought. The result is over only when you say, since these investments can eventually regain value, and actually show a profit. Backing losers in racing and other forms of gambling can mean that for the serious or occasional gambler, the money is dead and buried.Of course, some gamblers attach a lot of importance to the thrill effect of their bets. There is no doubt that betting on sport events, cards, or many casino games can be thrilling, but so is the constant movement of the value of currencies. That wheel goes round and round nonstop, but you can get on and off whenever you like. There are many foreign currency exchange companies ready to let you operate, offering very good rates.Never think of a bookmaker as an enemy whom you have to beat, your selection may be the one he also wants to win. Also, remember your foreign currency exchange office as a friend that makes it possible for you to play at good currency rates. You are putting your wits against a market that has no financial interest in your winnings or losses.A realtor has equally no interest to see you lose any money. On the contrary, he likes you to be happy with the purchase of your property. Even if the prices should go against you, he knows that in due course things will change.A speculator in the foreign currency game increases the chances of success by keeping in touch with as much relevant data as possible, which means that there is never a dull moment. The same applies to a property speculator. By having to constantly study the market and world affairs, the person becomes necessarily rather well read and interesting to talk to. Amongst other things, that gambler is a persona grata.These days, more and more gamblers turn to the forex game. It keeps them amused as well as thrilled. Instead of a horse or a tennis star etc., they are the actual performer. There is little doubt that the well prepared person has the chance to prevail.The currency market is not a geared slot machine. It has inexhaustible money to hand out if you get things right, and does not care if you keep winning, should you be clever enough.Who knows, you might be champion material.

Euro Key Level Economic News Release Trading Strategy
Euro Key Level Economic News Release Trading Strategy
Forex traders know the importance of economic news releases and how that effects the exchange rate. A positive or negative news announcement in the US morning session can send the EUR/USD rate up or down extremely fast! One way to capture these large moves is to use ENTRY STOP ORDERS.Entry stop orders are an excellent way to get into a trade long or short AUTOMATICALLY. Often if the market is moving extremely fast (due to an economic news release or geopolitical event) and you want to get into a trade, itis extremely difficult to get the price you click (live market order) because the exchange rate is moving up or down so fast.

A Look Back At Forex Trading - 4/5/06
A Look Back At Forex Trading - 4/5/06
We have been lucky over the past few weeks to be able to tell you about our good trade nights, well today we will tell you about a bad one. Personally I was stopped out of both of my trades last night for a 80 pip loss.While it is not pleasant, it's a fact of trading, you are going to have losing trades, you would be foolish to believe you will only have good trades and never lose.In discussing last night between ourselves we realized that several of our traders whom trade reversal patterns were all over Cable last night, and we have to look no further than the newsletter I wrote last night to see how they did it.Personally I rely heavily on various support and resistance levels for my trading style, and in doing so, it is easy to over look, what many believe it the strongest indicator available, Candlestick patterns. Lets look at what I wrote last night;For those of you who are fans of the candlestick patterns, we had a perfect double bottom form on both the 4 hour and the 1 hour charts yesterday, right before the spike up, I hope you saw it and were able to get in a long position. Anywhere from 100 to 150 pips could have been had on the move. The double bottom formed in the first couple of hour of the London market, those of you who actively trade the London market were the beneficiary's of a classic pattern that worked to perfection. I on the other hand missed this as I was studying the backs of my eyelids and not the charts at 3:00 AM EST.How silly was it of me to dismiss the reversal for poultry 100 pip move. The pattern we have been in since February has been a trading range between 1.7600 and 1.7230. That initial move left us at 1.7400, a full 200 pips short of the established top of our range, which by the way it exactly where we are now.Tonight we are trading around 1.7595 our first region of resistance is in the 1,7600 range, and a second region around 1.7660. For support we look to around 1.7540.While it is obvious after the last two days that we are in a short term up trend, we have the super resistance of 1.7600 to break. Since February we have only broken above it once to 1.7624, and that was a quick spike that came immediately back down. Cable has tested 1.7600 at least a half a dozen times and held, so being a support and resistance guy I feel we are staying with the established trading range.As all of you know only time will tell, but having a good forex trading education will make a lot easier for you to predict future movement and make successful trades.

Forex Trading is not that easy, all Foreign exchange traders before they enter this business, they think that they will be rich very quickly and make $20 000 in one or two weeks, but when they begin trading they discover it is not true, it is not easy to make money especially when we work with money. Very tricky business, many of us think that there is a conspiracy planned by THE BIG GUYS, they know what we think what we plan to do and they do the opposite to steel our money, many times we think to make the opposite of our decision (if I see the market is going up then I will sell). And we begin searching for someone to help us making at least 200 or 300 pips a month, probably many of us work with signals advisors who simply took our money and probably do not make us decent profit. Many of us thought stop trading many of us quit trading but I think most of us will not quit that easy because we see in it a golden opportunity to have our own business and make our fortune.Forex is an opportunity to make a fortune and it is an opportunity to loose our money, we can make a fortune if we knew how to handle forex, if we dont know how to control forex it will jump on us and brake us, so we must be stronger than it, and if we dont know how to control it with our own hands it will brake us too. So how I can be stronger than this ferocious beast? it is simply by learning, observing, and practicing. The market will not go anywhere it will be trending and ranging for ever, so learn from experienced traders how they became that good, observe charts and look for common points look for the reason why the price change direction, and when you discover the reason which influence a currency you will have in your hand the first tool that makes you control. And each reason you discover, try it on a practice account, see if it is valid or develop it. In this article I am helping you to find your way, I am not giving you the fish but I teach you fishing. There is no conspiracy theory in this business, no big or small guys, we loose because we dont know, and the first thing to become good trader is to admit that we dont know and we must always learn.I will give some clues and I will leave you learn, observe and practice. First of all you must know that you must use fundamental and technical analysis in conjunction, both complete each others, so dont rely on one and leave the other. Fundamental is one of the reasons which influence the market, so if you are in a long trade and suddenly the currency went down so go and see if a report was released and see what its forecast and what was the released data and compare this data to your chart and you will have your first tool to control your business.Second, in my opinion all the technical indicators didnt help me at all, I tried all the combinations nothing work, indicators describe you the status of the market but dont give you information about the next direction. I read an article about a guy who describes his strategy reveal, I was completely lost, he uses a combination of 12 indicators EMA340, SEMA890, EMA2900 etc& and he inserted FIBONACCI in it. I was lost. Even if his strategy worth 95% success I will not use it because I can control the market by using simpler techniques. So we dont need to seek indicators, only one indicator I use it the Bollinger Band which is the perfect weapon in our battle against forex. So I want you to look to the Bollinger Band and see how it affects a currency, focus on it and you will discover a lot of things, and you will have your second tool.Third, suppose you are in a long trade and suddenly for no reason it went down, there are no released reports it just turns down, this is weird. But weird things are those we dont understand, but if you observe your chart and go back several hours or days and drop a break line from higher swing points you will see that the price turn down because it touches that break line, you see there is no mystery. So this break line will be your Resistance and if price breaks it, it will continue going up, but going where and till when? &. observe very carefully and you will learn as I did. And no need for midnight or afternoon candles, be simple as you can, that beast is not as ferocious as you think.So breakout is your third toolFourth, what timeframe to use, it is up to you to choose the suitable timeframe, H1, H4, D1 & I dont know, compare the charts and you will see the suitable timeframe.Timeframe is important and when you find it you will have your Fourth tool.And thats it, I repeat observe your charts and focus and think in these clues and the more you think the more you discover.I do good profit from my strategy because I program it, I gave my system the data and leave it do his job. This eliminates the fear factor and gave me more time to go out and have fun.I hope I gave you some tips and techniques which help you in your trades.Good LuckAbout the authorJoe ChalhoubLebanon, Beiruthttp://Rpchost.com

A Look Back At Forex Trading - 4/3/06
A Look Back At Forex Trading - 4/3/06
Looking at Friday's trades reminds me of the importance of multiple technical indictors. When I was writing Friday's newsletter, I spoke of several indicators, which lead me to believe Cable was going down. Lets review:First we would like to decide if the up swing will continue or not, and looking at the 1 hour chart we do not believe it will. We have just had a steep angle cross of the MACD to the sell side of the signal line, and the 15 minute MACD continue to be strong on the sell side. The slow stochastic on the 1 hour chart had a steep angle cross several hour ago and both line are steeply heading down.Based on this information we correctly predicted the market was going down. Now many of you would ask me why not just get in your trade and ride it down.Hind site being 20/20, I asked myself the same question, But in my personal trading style, I used 1.7460 as my entry, which means I missed getting in my trades by a frustrating 4 Pips.The simple fact is 1.7460 was a good entry, we were trading @ 1.7452 when I set the trades at 12:00, you can not expect the market would not go up 4 pips to get me in, that is just unrealistic.So once again I missed out on a very big night, of 150 Pips, but I have to come to the realization the market is completely random and although I was able to predict the direction and the levels, you still need a little good luck every once in a while to help you make a big trade. Many more times than not you will get in that trade, it just was not to be last night.Tonight we are trading around 1.7330, our first region of resistance is in the 1,7380 range, and a second region around 1.7420. Strong support exits From 1.7310 to 1.7280 levels.We have several reasons to believe the upcoming week should have a significant increase in volatility. We will have to watch closely this week as the news unfold to decide how it will affect the market and our trades.You can also use these same techniques to successfully pick your our trades, just like we do. With the proper forex trading education there is no reason you could not be making the kinds of trades we are make, and discussing in our articles.Let's face it, whether it's a Forex Trading Course, or a Forex Seminar, you NEED a Forex Trading Education
