Hi Chicky, I read a similar thread on babypips about portfolios of currencies, and it interests me because I am increasingly interested in portfolio type management. However, I think that having a portfolio of currencies isn't ideal because they are ...

The problem with trade explorer is that you cannot hide open trades or trade history as far as I can tell on the settings. (I have a myfxbook which I can hide the history and open trades that is listed on my thread btw). I would like to have a trade ...

Some random commentary: (not a specific teaching point) Low volatility seems to be a buzzword and certainly my returns have been suffering since I am a longer term trader, and the markets do not tend to be going anywhere in a hurry. If they do go ...

I have been asked quite a few times, what is my system, but the truth is that I don't use a single system. Trading is discretionary, and I use several systems, or set ups or situations which I think give a good return. All of these systems and ...

I agree its actually very difficult because unless you are at the computer at the precise moment to catch the window (which as you mentioned lasts only a few minutes a couple of times a week) the price is very much the same no matter when you look. ...

If you consider that all the day to day variations in products/services/investments etc that cross borders from dollars to euros per day daily ranges of 20 pips seems very unlikely (but somehow has been happening for the last few months).

One if the examples I am currently looking for any signs of strength in the US manufacturing sector, lack of price stability in the Eurozone (since government lending is not an issue)
- goldenmember replied Feb 19, 2014

It helps to look at things on a longer term. Most traders 'trade the news' - ie: they buy a 'good number' and sell a 'bad number' without thinking what it means on a long term perspective. For example a +10k NFP means nothing in a background of NFP ...

I highly doubt it was an ECB move - much of the commentary articles are gossip on reuters. If it was really about shoring up the euros in the bank, I am sure that EURUSD wouldn't have retraced so quickly. I'm inclined to think that a group of ...

Thanks - one thread I have been keeping an eye on is the EURUSD thread lately... It's interesting to note that many many of the members post up their charts predicting what is going to occur - I note that not one of their predicted charts has come ...

I was considering publishing something as an ebook - of course I need to make it more entertaining and readable. Unfortunately most traders prefer threads with lots of charts with lines written on them with "I made 40 pips with this trade." It's ...

Identifying Supply and Demand The market just happens to be the place where we trade. For insurance this can be online at a broker, or it can be at a supermarket that sells insurance. We can buy shipping at the post office, online, or via a corner ...
