'Just exporting more' is a complex process that involves more than just choosin countries and sending goods to them, it involves making prducts for a price at which foriegn demand for them is high, on a scale that approaches 70 B per year. It means ...

I have heard that the Asian sesion tends to be choppy. Never checked it out, myself. Try using styles / systems suited to a trading market in those hours.

The dollar tends to move everything else, so you won't necessarily see much. To see a currency itself move, as close as you can get to it, try viewing it against the CHF (Swiss Franc), as that is a very stable currency, so I'm told. Viewing the ...

If you can make $10'000 a month you can make 100'000. Just risk ten times as much on the same trades. But you can only risk like that if you have accumulated your bank slowly, gradually, and not in such a way that 5 or 10 (or15) losses in a row ...

Probably a chart from Linda Bradford Raschke. One of the traders profiled in Market Wizards.

That's like the opposite thread to this one. The question is of increasing size on a losing position. I think there's a right time to do both, and it basically comes down to confidence, for whatever reason, that the price will move in your favor.

It is important to trade small enough, in the beginning, that you do not care whether any trade wins or hits it's stop-loss. It is important to use stop-losses. It is okay to care whether you do well in any week, or any month, although most ...

I agree, you can't really guarantee your stops or against slippage during news. There is simply no guarantee against losing an entire year's trading gains in a single minute. I think trading near news is easier for those of us who understand ...

If you are trading long term and dealing with a high volatility than your spreads might not matter as much as other factors. If you are trading often, on lower time scales (or less volatile pairs), spread becomes more important. Lower is always ...

I think getting in in the beginning of a trend, and not getting very often on false trends, would qualify us as being different.

Trends are formed by the collective psychology of the traders looking at their screens. Use the same MA's as many of them and you'll do alright. Many traders use the Fibonacci numbers, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55... Many use the 20, 50, 100, 200, Some use 25, ...

Twoblink... I would buy stock in a company which tried to do half of those things, in particular create renewable clean energy. Asynchronous computing even more so. I will be limiting stock and fundamental trading to ten percent of my risk, since I ...

This question is a harder call than most as most traders here might see a triangle but each of us would wait for a different time or a different level of resistance or support to be broken before taking our position. Thus if you chose a moment (5 ...

Maybe it's because it's fun. Like sports, win, lose or draw, it's fun. It's probably harder, yet more likely, you'll draw in forex, assuming you use good risk management, and if you don't it's like doing sports without hydration. (It's certainly not ...

If you trade in the 2 - 5 minutes after the news you are bound to blow your stops and suffer slippage on the taking of a position. My advise would be to trade after the news and trade for a 68% retracement of the highest or lowest point reached ...

The first part of making money, sorry to state the obvious, is not losing it all first. Not letting losing positions get too large is the numero uno. But it is difficult to make more than slight amounts of money even without a spread to contend ...

Thanks. I didn't know where they were from. Probably 2005 or 2004 data anyhow. I have read quite a few of her articles, but mostly printed out. I didn't think hardly anyone would see the pics except the guy who asked, as they don't show up as ...

Not strictly relevant - pip range during each of the three markets - nothing to do with their opens or interlap. I have heard that volatility is higher during the overlaps, especially European / U.S. overlap.

It is my general advice to look at a chart from larger timescales (at least the two larger than what you're trading) and consider your opinion, and then use indicators to warn against trades. Markets can and frequently do reach and stay in oversold ...
