    a beginner's attempt at the pairs

    I think usdjpy will not appreciate much anymore until there is any change in policy.

    a beginner's attempt at the pairs

    Markets are too volatile today. It's going through some correction after yesterday's huge upmove. I give up on trading today, good luck ! I think the long term direction of eurusd is UP, not down. Just be careful if you want to short eurusd today.

    a beginner's attempt at the pairs

    Just finished reviewing yesterday's chart. There was a selection bias in my trading. It wasn't only USDJPY I missed out on ... there were cross-pairs to EUR - I missed out on all of them. Very disappointed and will overcome the selection bias next time. Today there isn't much to pay attention so...

    Euro falling off a cliff

    To overcome sort of selection bias - I don't pay attention much to something I don't know.

    Euro falling off a cliff

    Thanks jsspmk for the information... I don't come to ET for education. Information is very important in this business and this is only reason why I am staying active on ET. I guess this is called collaboration, and only this way, it is no different to running a global financial institution.

    a beginner's attempt at the pairs

    Eurusd has just recovered to 1.6500 just an hour later I closed them ... I will certainly need to practice holding longer period from now on, feeling really gutted...but what's more disappointing me is missing out on opportunity on usdjpy ..

    a beginner's attempt at the pairs

    Closed all eurusd positions now at ma20 resistance (1.05830) 30 minutes - made 80 pips of profits. By the way, there is too much volatility in usdjpy at the moment as it is going through some bear trend. Well, I will never consider taking a short position and I guess focusing only on long pays...

    How Forex Trading Can Make you Rich?

    No, my point is that's how a short position was introduced to the market - for hedging purpose. Likewise, I would never take a short position unless it's for hedging/insurance. Brokers are smart, they know traders lose more money when they take short positions than long positions because there...

    How Forex Trading Can Make you Rich?

    Taking a short position is not appropriate trading/investment strategy. It's like you're hoping for someone go down the hill. That's not a good mindset :) Short positions are introduced to the market for commercial traders to hedge their price risk, not for trading/investment purpose.

    a beginner's attempt at the pairs

    Oversold condition and support with double bottom. Given that resignation of Italy's Prime minister has nothing to do with fundamental information, I initiated long at MA 100 for EURUSD. Besides, the spot price has deviated excessively to futures price, expect a correction here after the...

    a beginner's attempt at the pairs

    Break even. Made a profit on AUDUSD but a loss on USDJPY. I hate the chart for USDJPY futures. They have the reverse one - JPYUSD and hard to utilise it...but it was partly my fault too because I knew USDJPY was in overbought condition. Anyway, I am determined not to take a short position now.

    a beginner's attempt at the pairs

    No problem, just initiated a long AUDUSD at MA 100...after there was a substantial depreciation. Also I set a stop long above MA 20 for USDJPY. I don't expect price to depreciate substantially again.

    a beginner's attempt at the pairs

    so this is why Xela was so confident after all...using futures contract price/volume to predict future price. It's relatively easier when there is a sign of future direction of a price especially, when the spot price is excessively deviated from futures contract price (when there is no change in...

    AUD futures contract for March 2017

    USD index

    I get it now...EURO futures contract for March 2017 is expected to be around 1.0727 so commercial traders anticipate it to appreciate higher around January and February.

    a beginner's attempt at the pairs

    Actually what it means is that commercial traders are taking short positions . You anticipation might turn out to be right. But the fundamental information about AUS economy is not too bad so I think that it won't depreciate much. They have been keeping both unemployment and inflaction constant...
