Great answer... I have enjoyed all of your analysis. I can imagine how difficult it is to follow all markets. I myself have use a EMA and a RSI on a 15 minute chart. I also like to keep it simple. Anything else you offer is greatly appreciated.

Great post.. I am also trying to learn to calculate the sharpe ratio of my performance over the last 18 months. I have read much about calculating it, however I am still having problems. I do apologize for my ignorance. I think I understand the calculation, but I am not sure how to find...

I would also like to thank you for your views. It has been a great learning additions. BTW, do you track any other markets? Also, do you mind posting other tools you use to trade the Forex markets. Thanks again! P.s. Not to be offensive, but how accurate have your views been in...

No worries. I am trying to make a list of economic reports that move the currency market. For example, tomorrow we have NON farm payrolls released. This will move the market. I would like to find economic news from other countries which will also do this. Thanks anyways...

Thanks, however this is only for the U.S. Markets. I wanted to find a site pertaining the world's economic news (i.e. UK PPI) ect...

please help

Can anyone help with an online economic calendar like www.econoday.com for the world markets. I am not sure what economic news is important like the ones in the U.S. For example, at 5:00 a.m. eastern time, the EZ July PPI is released. I want to learn about it and if it moves the market...

This is exacty the type of setup I look for. Hard to tell if the market will move 1 way or the other. Since we moved up 100+ today, what are the chances that it will move another. That doesn't mean it won't...:( That is why i will short all the way up to 1.2400. By then, my average price on...

I know, it can be difficult, however the probability is low. In my opinion, the euro can be back in fill. Most of the times, the big money is there to shake you out of your position. Once out, then it moves in your favor. OF course, just my opinion. But when you are wrong, then you are wrong.

Great post! I have also been reading Ivan's posts and he been pretty dead on. I also watch the Spot market, however place all my trades through futures currencies. Once I have decided on entering a trade, I do the swap conversion to the futures prices. My strategy is much like Ivan's...

I can see how this strategy can be useful with the Forex markets. Does anyone have any more information and/or another thread to read. Thanks!

They do allow you to hold overnight futures position, however it not advertised. I am guessing you must be a high volume trader. Not to mention, by not allowing to hold overnight, they are limiting the trader's risk.

That is what I hear as well.. Should be an institutional office from what i understand..

I shorted at 12274 on the Euro Currnency futures. I wanted to add that I follow the spot market but place all of my trades through the futures. On the spot, i have noticed the .2230 as a key level. If we can break this on the downside., I am looking for it to move to .2160 in the next...

Thanks for the post... Not sure if it was me, but I didn't see any contact information...

Though I am new to the $Index, I also feel this market will become more liquid in time. My whole issue is that I use to trade equities, then moved over to the Eminis and Minis since it was a lot less of an issue to follow. Now, I would also like to do the same with the $Index. Since there is...

Thanks for the reply. Do you mind going into more detail about trading the $Index. I agree with you regarding the futures currency allocation. I understand many use it to hedge their positions, however I thought I would investigate trading it outright rather than allocating different futures...

Anybody... NEED HELP!

Hello all - I have been trading the indexes the last few years and have recently moved over to the futures currencies. I base my trades off the Spot market via the futures contract through the CME. Of course, I use the $index to give me an overall view of the dollar sentiment. I...

Yep, i feel you are 100% accurate...
