Forex Trading Expo Casebook (merged threads)

When is it? It's 30 minutes from me. Depending upon the day it would be nice to get together with some FF comrades.

all the info is on the site there...

Its from march 31 to april 1st, although there are a couple of paid seminars on the days before and after.

Yeah for sure part of the whole idea is to meet people that normally you connect to with words.

I wish I could be there, or at least there is a similar expo in my country.
I just love being around traders...

I'm about 5 minutes away. I'm planning to go

May be able to go Fri and Sat..1 hour away.

Isn't there an expo in June in Orlando also.

Ahhh, shuzbitzelnet. I have to leave town on 31 to return late April 1. Have fun guys (and gals if there are any here).

Not a lot of people actually have heard about this so I thought it wise to post

forextradingexpo.com

It used to be 350USD, but now it is completely free. Lot's of amazing speakers too. Should be awesome.

Would be cool to meet some of ya'll there, and also to hear from some locals on what the coolest places to go are, best beaches or whatever

peace

I opened a topic for this... nobody interested so far

I've merged previous expo threads into the current one...ok maybe I should of asked beforehand but if you read from the top it has some good stories...

If anybody cares to write a review of how this up and coming one goes then I'm sure those that can't make it (myself included) would appreciate it very much...the more reviews the better in fact!

Bring back a story or two from the jaunt and add them here!!!

My expo jounal.

Drove 1500 miles from canada. Went to expo.

There was an excellant presentation on the longterm forecast for all currencies and markets. Bearish on the dollar, fed tightening to inevitably reverse, long term dollar bulls should be cautious, some with long term latin america bulls etc.

I first saw Dave leeker from GAIN. Very good insights into how institutional traders trade, 55sma on daily is a huge level for many, even central branks etc.

then I saw steve nison, who some agreed oversold his DVDs etc and FXCM, which was boring. We know they are good already just teach us...

Rob Booker was good entertainment, if not just plain old great psychology stuff, very cool. Very smart stuff. (is my mentor, am biased

Then Kathy Lien and Boris borisschlossberg did a great presentation on options which was very awesome to learn about, everyone agrees her book is by far one of the best, and i got his book fresh on the press and it is super high quality as well.

I got a free 30 day demo of metastock pro fx. I checked out all of the best dealers first hand. The CME futures stuff is very impressive. Very interesting, Vegas would agree, daniels trading guys were there and they would get people to call a pair and long or short, purely random, on a live account, and at the end of the day they were up 200 bucks. I liked those guys, talked straight, seemed goog guys.

By far the coolest thing was all of the people helping each other, doing a lot of cool stuff...

I will do more of a complete "what I came away with" review later

rock on

I'll be there. I'm flying in for a weeklong Rob Booker training the week following the expo. Can't help myself but check out the expo too while I'm there. I land tomorrow morning, so I should have all day Saturday to check it out.

the expo was perfect

my top three

it really changed me as a trader apply myself on so many levels. I met and talked to several money managers on an off the record basis who schooled me on how they trade. This and many other factors made it an amazing experience.

If you want more info PM me.

But it should be obv6ous. 95 percent fail, and my post wont help raise it to 90. I am one of the 5%, so give er, learn how to do it yourself and go to the expo in vegas, just forget about longing the dollar long term

MIB,

You mentioned earlier the daily 55sma is watched by all the big players...did the speaker say why that was?

sorry dude I wasnt subscribed to this thread.

He did do quite a presentation on it. The reason people watch that level is that it works as such strong support and resistance, on the daily, as you can see on several pairs. Some hard trending pairs obvious dont apply as of today, but if you look back on say the Auzziedollar, as I am right now, you can see how it is easy to define range or direction of trend based on the angle, and it does work. Some pairs better than others.

Basically just enter on a break, or fade it, and also it's useful especially to figure out what that average is on a lower TF and apply it there.

he also mentioned 21 55 100 200 daily

Anyone going to the expo in LA next month? Ive never been to one but looking at the venue online it looks to be very interesting.
