The Future of Forex?

Switzerland has whole heartedly rejected joining the EU on several cantonal votes. (ie their states or provinces) as a whole. The fact that they manage a large portion of the world's wealth a switch to the EU would greatly undermine the country's financial system and they would lose a large number of foreign clients.

I heard a saying once "If a Swiss banker jumps off a cliff follow him....there's likey money in it."

My two bits.
Good one! Thanks for the info about not joining to EU.

Glad you liked that one Jacko. It should also be noted the U.S. SEC (I think) started talking about regulating FOREX and making a 'big board' for it, I believe it was a couple of years ago or at least after the REFCO collapse. The rest of the world said 'absolutely not!' and it was dropped. Their concern was the people who were opening FOREX companies and taking people's money or going broke. So make sure, whomever your broker is, that they have segregated client funds.

More bits to chew on.

Hi, guys!

This is something I was wondering about...

After almost 5 years after I started with the stock investing "business" and almost a year after I started trading forex (and after COUNTLESS reading of books, forums and gaining real life experiences), I can quite surely say, that I have found my personal holy grail. I'm making consistent money out of this business (thanks to studying Jacko, BillyRayValentine and Nick B.) and I rarely close a position with a loss (for many months now).

Now, I still have a full time job, but...

hv u ever heard abt the world is heading for a single world currency?
I draw a line for u... a support line.. not a resistance one..

Yeah, but that won't happen like for another 1000 years... When there will be NCC-1701's flying around and we will be part of United Federation of Planets, maybe then.

I totally agreed with what you said.Forex is a type of business that you can earn as much as you can, and the sky is the limit.Since you have a good strategy, would you mind to share with us?

Hendrix, this thread is wishy washy. You are whining about things that are out of your control. Of course nobody wants taxes or their strategies to go bad....

But will be will be, not matter what we say or think or do. So the best thing to do is not worry about it.

as long as there is demand and supply , doesnt matter in what form , you will able to trade in it , so if currencies simply vanished suddenly (highly unlikely) , just make the adjustment and trade another market , should not be too hard

say ,
if sometime in the near future , we dont have demand and supply anymore , that means equilibrium between human need and what nature provided is achieved (highly unlikely again , since human hunger is unsatiable) ,
then you dont have to trade to live in abudance , you could simply do what you love doing and live in a perfect world ...

just an optimistic view
To Live is the rarest thing in the world , Most people exist , that is all

New Zealand is one of the prettiest places on earth. The people are extremely friendly. Their entire foreign policy revolves around beating Australia at any game they play. How can one not want to live there?

Maheswara,
Agreed. I believe this to be the best business in the world. Countries will always need currency and to exchange with eachother. Unless we go back to the barter system we'll be fine.

Hi everyone,

since I got a SMALL number of requests for Jacko's, BRV's and Nick B.'s material, the collection is available on the link below:

Note: Jacko's messages are only from the FF and not from his private blog. All relevant messages are contained in the .DOC document. BRV's material is complete, but you will have to go to Forex 4 Noobs to download Nick B.'s book.

Maybe news trading will be the strategy to go?

I think Forex is a system and all punters get kicked out EVENTUALLY. The ones that believe in the $97 get rich EA scheme quickly realise that it doesn't work and never return to the business...

Forex is a business that needs to be studied properly. Trading consists of 2 components:

Mathematics: The ability to interpret numbers.

Emotions: I'm sure you've read the same thing HUNDREDS of times BUT... seeing your investment as a number of high probability... not a dollar sign.


The system I present to you is derrived from "Pivot" and "Fibonacci Retracements". Look at how accurate support & resistance is... it's almost to the pip (little trade drawdown).

Normally S1 is calculated by (2*Pivot Point) – High
S2 = Pivot Point – (High – Low)
R1 & R2 = opposit calculations.

Basicallly, this system is based on Fibonacci retracement levels which is proven to be very accurate.

Positions are:
Range Bound,
Based mainly on 15 minute technical analysis.
40-55 pip moves.
Desired trade time is 1.5 - 2.5 hours.

Let me know what you think of the chart & system?
