Brutally honest analysis of yesterday

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
Testing time, Day 3

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... Continue reading Comments (0) / Link to this topic - http://www.learning-to-invest.com/ Testing-time-Day-2--70.html
Testing time, Day 1

Okay, this is day one in my trading on my demo account. 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...

Learning to invest in financial markets is like learning how to play casino games. First, you have to start with the basics. You can’t expect to become a pro overnight. Second, you have to learn to lose sometimes. It happens to the best money managers and the best blackjack players.
