This is a funny episode of Dilbert that talks about the Stock Market. I was too young to enjoy and fully understand that show when I was young, but maybe it would have helped me understand few things about the markets at a younger age :

Just closed my positions. Overall I made 4% profits on my live account, but only 1% on my demo. I found it fairly difficult to trade 2 account at the same time . Im always confuse with the lot sizes.

My take-profits in GBP/NZD were hit, but not in GBP/AUD. The Euro went sharply down after comment from an ECB member about negative rate :

I feel that the GBP/AUD could go much more higher, but right now i will simply observe and wait. I could trade that pair again later

I opened two trades a couple of hours ago and couldnt come here to post them. Im still looking forward for more AUD and NZD losses. My currency of choice to trade against the AUD and NZD is the CHF. The GBP could still be a good player, but I have decided to go with the Frank :

We are having a strong reaction on the negative employment numbers. Like usual, a currency tend to be very volatile after a bad new. Its just too bad that I used little to no leverage.


There's room for further down so I wont close my trades now

Not bad for a trading week. I didnt make as much as previous week but the process was well done. After 5 weeks of good return, i realised that it was too much. I have to reduce my risk and reward further more. What really matters are stable and small profits over a long period of time. At the end of the year, I should make more than 100%.

Hey Cap dont want this to come out as harsh but I unsubscribed from this simply because I feel your thread has gone off course here. The title Market source and your description suggest something different as to whatyou have been posting recently. It started out as a informative thread to you posting about your trading and P/L. I have lost all the analysis and fundamental part of it. You are doing well with your trading and that’s great but no one in this real world ever cares except you! Again dont want to put you off just my thoughts here mate.
I really enjoyed the thought of working as a team covering detailed info and making something great.
Welcome to Markets Source!

This thread will focus mainly on Fundamental and Technical analysis for the every Market. The main idea is to have a thread where people can post important details about the News or important trading setups that they have witnessed. Since everyone have to sleep, its impossible to trade all day long on a 24hours market. If people of this forum work in team, we will be able to cover the overall market times with detailed information.


Everyone is welcome to post and material from the news section can be copy pasted here. If you hear anything important from Bloomberg or CNBC worth noted, you can also post it here. Charts can also be posted, but personally, I will ignore any chart with indicators on it.

Information can be on any market, except the crypto currency market. Forex will be our main focus but information and News on stock, bond or future market will also be discussed.


I hope this thread will grow and have trader from different part of the world so that we can cover the whole market
All posts are my personal opinion

I know . I grew tire of being the only person who made fundamental analysis so nowaday a make less of them. Im thinking of closing this thread. Maybe no one cares about fundamental analysis, or people prefer to believe that they can trade technicals with indicators only.

A good week is about to start. We will have a lot of High impact news and things might get messy tho. I will continue monitoring my current trade while at the same time add 2 others. i will be starting the week selling both GBP/USD and GBP/CAD. The pound is a little bit too high and starting to run out of steam/traders:

There was a speech made by Carney. I dont think it will have an important impact on the pound at the stage that we are.

What makes you think gbp is high?

What makes you sell it now? Do you use any confirmation to sell?

A currency cant stay up forever, it has to pause at some point. There are no indicators in my system, so I cant give any metrics as to how I figure it out mechanically.

it takes two to make a market.... He may be wrong, he may be right

I think Capelli trades are based on a mix of fundamental analysis and price action (but not strictly classic price pattern/candle formation), to me the most striking of his abilities is the risk control he apllies to his account, that meaning that he have iron discipline and a sound trading plan resulting in a super smooth equity curve.

I'm personally bullish GBP, however I'm not buying it at the moment and I agree with Capelli that last week moves looks overextended. I'm bullsih and he's bearish, it may turn out that we're both right or both wrong, or someon got it wrong and the other right

If CPI data come out good it will start to go up again making new highs, if they disappoints, GBP will be in for a substantial retracement. If GBP drops 300 pips will I change my mind? No.
The market is an expression of people and their forecasts, two people can make (or lose) money even if they have opposing viewpoint
