I'm a 18 year old Canadian student. For now I'm on vacation, but usually spend a lot of time at school. I'm on a science program and I need a lot of time to study. one of my favorite hobby is Forex. I started Forex about 3 years ago. I have been practicing actively for more than 2 years on demo and a little bit on Live account. My goal is to make as much money as I can. i learned a lot of thing in the past 3 years, and I know if i make to much profit In a day or month, I'm likely to lose it. Its better to go slowly.

I don't really use indicator. I will always have 1 or 2 moving averages on my chart, but I don't often use them. I often use Fibonacci, but I don't consider this tool as an indicators.

I personally think that trading longterm rather than short-term is more profitable. But I will not only trade longterm, I will sometime scalp if I think the chance that i will be right are high.

I will use between 1:1 and 6:1 of leverage. I will try my best to never go over 12:1, more than that would be over-leveraging.

I will trade most of the Forex pair, plus gold, silver, Crude Oil ( Nymex crude Oil) and CFD such as the Dow Jones, Sp500, Dax and FTSE


Hope someone will enjoy this thread. Everyone is welcome as long there is respect. If you have a forecast or a opinion, post your proofs or chart to support what you r saying if possible.

Im currently on a trade for silver. This commodity, like gold, dont want to move down. Investors are waiting for opportunity to buy. for the past weeks, we had lower lows and red candle. In the longterm, silver and gold are likely to go higher. this trade will be a longterm trade, I might close it on January or latter as long as its in the green

Gold did move up, but I decided to close my position on this commodity. I also close my position on crude oil.

next week is going to be very important. Im looking forward to short the JPY if the Trade balance is negative. AUD will be also important to watch

AUD became very strong during the week. Tomorrow is Friday, people are likely to close few of their position and take their profits. I think that AUD will pullback down a little bit so I added a short on AUD/USD

Stop loss on AUD/USD at 1.0475. take profit will be near, a little bit below, the fib 61.8. I will add the take profit later on Friday

Im still looking forward to short the Yen. One mistake I made this week was to close my oil position a little bit too early. Oil price could go down a little bit for Friday. we still have sideways on Silver and Gold.

A lot of bad news for this week. Bad expectation from China and new trouble from both Greece and Spain. Oil will no longer be able to break the fib 50 in my opinion. The problem is, I wont be able to short Oil, since the chart have disapear from my broker. I will long USD/CAD instead of Oil cause the canadian dollar will fall with Oil.
Stop loss at 1.0065 and take profit will be added latter on

I see Euro down to fib 61.8 on the weakly chart. Only bad news came from Europe so far, no one want to own this currency anymore.
stop loss at 1.233 . My take profit will be added later

Its a matter of time before the Yen fall. BoJ will never accept the level we are in now. Tuesday, we will have the trade balance, if its negative, the Yen will plummet. We just have to wait

We returned to Fib 61.8 now. Its too bad, if my platform worked well, I would have made more profit since Oil is more volatile thant the USD/CAD
