5 Traits of Highly Effective Financiers
This is a guest post by Heather Johnson.Every young entrepreneur
wants to be the next Warren Buffett. Dreams of emerging from humble beginnings to become world’s the next
eccentric billionaire are a dime a dozen in this day and age. However, few aspiring investors take the time
to really evaluate how the successful became so, dismissing them as fiscal
savants, economic prophets, or simply lucky bastards. While this glib revisionism can be comforting
to those who never ach... Continue reading Comments (1) / Link to this topic - http://www.learning-to-invest.com/ 5-Traits-of-Highly-Effective-Financiers--78.html Great forex product reviews
I have been writing a lot about the basics of forex, trying
to educate you and myself at the same time. But one person alone is not able to
choose the right broker for himself, best training courses and strategies.
That’s where I’d
like to reccommend a site dedicated to just that - Forex Reviews (available at www.forexreviews.com). They have 5
forex professionals checking out different sites, different strategies,
training courses to get you going. When I started this blog I regi...

Have spent some time to work on my web projects, thecheers.org will be getting a total makeover within the next couple of days and I have also been playing poker.And from poker there are also my newly found obvious observations. It's all about money management. During the past month I have probably deposited ca $700 to poker. $50 at a time. At some point I got worried - maybe I have an addiction. But then to think about it - I don't believe in addictions,...

Firstly, sorry for no updates for couple of days, been busy with some other things. But as a next thing you can expect some reviews of possible forex platforms with low spreads plus analysis of the forex market. Okay, actually I haven't been too busy with anything, just my change of moods is the keyword here, but will try to get my act together soon :) CheersSiim

If you have read
my previous post you’re aware of what happened to US dollar. And
without long speeches, I had 3 trades in one and 3 trades in another direction
for the reasons brought out in my previous post. And as a result, I managed to
get shut off by my stop losses in ALL of them. Thus my first tiny testing
capital is so-said kaputt. No worries though, we'll continue ; )
So firstly, lets
analyse what I did wrong, first the general things. Like I have mentioned
before, I p... Continue reading Comments (1) / Link to this topic - http://www.learning-to-invest.com/ Brutally-honest-analysis-of-yesterday--74.html USD at its lowest levels of 2 years
Of course, when I'm out to lunch (okay okay, I was having a beer) USD reached its 2 year lowest levels. GBP/USD currently trades at 1.9681 ( yesterday's price ca 1.9460)EUR/USD currently trades at 1.3258 (yesterday's price ca 1.3150)Anyways, we'll see what happens.UPDATEAt this state I have no idea what to do. This sort of market situation doesn't happen too often, for me, beginning trader it's something very new. So under current circumstances I have highered my possible stop loss limit to $1...

I checked what
had happend during my sleeping time and I noticed the similar chart on both
EUR/USD and GBP/USD. See this –
See the beginning
of the chart, Aroon gives heads up for BUY, %R gives heads up for BUY, RSI
doesn’t show anything. On another chart, chart 3 the EMA’s give heads up for
BUY. This was followed by a sideways movement for 4 hours. Then Aroon was still
in the positive side while RSI and %R would have given a sell signal. However,
when you look at the candlesticks... Continue reading Comments (0) / Link to this topic - http://www.learning-to-invest.com/ Testing-time-Day-3--72.html Testing time, Day 2 UPDATE I wrote a post
something like 4 pages, and then when I got to the end of it, I realized that
this post really was a mess and instead, I’ll try to tell you about stuff in a
bit shorter and simpler manner.
Today I tried
those 4 templates I brought out in my previous post, I used 15-min charts and 3
pairs – GBP/USD, EUR/USD and EUR/GBP. To shout out loud, I think EUR/GBP in
most cases might be pretty useless pair to follow. 5 hours ago I thought that
it would go up but...well, the th... Continue reading Comments (0) / Link to this topic - http://www.learning-to-invest.com/ Testing-time-Day-2-UPDATE--71.html Testing time, Day 2 Didn’t have time
to update yesterday’s post so I’ll continue with this new one. I haven’t placed
any trades yet but I have worked out 4 different chart templates with
indicators on them to see if any of them work or could work after some changes.
Template 1
This chart
template uses 50-period and 14-period EMA’s for trends. Due to my observations
yesterday I will use Aroon to set my entry points. I am not sure about stop
loss and exit yet, but I hope to get them in place soon as...

On that account I have currently $56. To follow the forex prices and to analyse the charts I will be using the free MetaTrader 4 software. All the charts available in this section will be generated with MetaTrader as well. During my trading I will try to keep in mine the intermarket analysis as well. Though, I think for starters it will be extremely difficult to keep in mind all the different things I should keep in mind. So don’t sue me if...

Simply put, the trading competition went straight to hell. Ok, it wasn't that bad, but during the 4 weeks the competition lasted I only traded on two days, altogether made 12 trades. Out of which 7 were winning trades and 5 were losing trades. Overally I produced no profit, but rather a small minus. Why? Two main reasons. When doing those trades I did them for the simple reason of doing trades not based on some great analysis. I just didn't feel I'm capable of doing the trades just not yet, bu...

This strategy uses two charts - 10-minute chart and hourly chart; and 200-bar (200 hour, for example) MA and 4-bar slow stochastic study. To identify a trend you would look for situations where the price is consistanctly above or below the moving averages on both charts.Once trend has been identified:IF the market is no more than 20 points above (for going long) or 20 points below (for going short) the moving averagethe fast stochastic line crosses above the slow stochastic line below 20 (for ...

1-2-3 trading signals can usually be seen in the beginning and in the end of a trend. You enter the trade after the 1-2-3 signal has been given. You can see an example of how it might look on the chart here:http://www.tradejuice.com/forex/forex-1-2-3-methode-mm.htmBasically the signal consists of different day's high and low prices. The most simple explanation on how you could draw this signal on paper yourself is the following – from the top-left corner draw a diagonal to the center of the pa...

Previously we have talked about intermarket analysis and how 4 major financial markets can influence each other. Now, just to repeat what we have already talked about and to talk more specifically about forex and what and how other markets influence it, I’m writing this post.Foreign exchange and Equity marketsEquity markets do have significant impact on the foreign exchange price movements. On equity markets there are huge movements of money, of currencies – for example when investors change m...

In order to use the Sidus Method you need aproximately 1 hour (according to the author..) and a chart which has the following lines on it:18 EMA28 EMA5 WMA8 WMANote that EMA is Exponential Moving Average and WMA is Weighted Moving Average.The EMA’s will form a tunnel on your chart, these will show you the start and end of a trend. WMA’s show you when to enter the trade and also show the strength of the trends. You should ONLY enter the trade when the EMA tunnel is very narrow or even crossed. ...

Big Ben Strategy is a day trading strategy that takes advantages of the 24-hour trading possibility. It is meant to be used with GBP/USD mainly. According to that you should capture the first directional intraday move after the market opens in London (1am ET). The first big move will usually happen within couple of hours.

Before going on with candlestick reversal patterns I’d like to talk about something different – forex and Carry Trades. Carry Trade strategy is a long term investment strategy in foreign exchange market. It is mainly used by hedge funds and investment banks. In simple words – it means playing with interest rates. When you trade a currency and then keep it overnight then two things can happen – you either pay for the overnight holdings or you earn interest rate for the carry over. I must admit ...

Currencies are traded in pairs and exchanged against each other. The majority of currencies are traded against US Dollar. The first currency in the exchange pair is called Base Currency and the second currency is called the Counter Currency or Quote Currency.The exchange rate tells you how much of the counter currency must be paid to buy one unit of the base currency. The exchange rate also tells the seller how much is received in the counter currency when selling one base unit. For example, a...
