Aah m8! You need the fuel of fundamentals to power your overall technical outlook for consistent profitability.

Hi,

I'd like your opinion on this:

http://education.forexlive.com/!/the...ay-00-20160820

I'm not arguing with you, just want your opinion.

I used to trade just with technical analysis, but I feel that I've improved since I started fundamental analysis.
A good strategy for trading is... the opposite of having a bad strategy.

Im not really worried about what others do. If you trust that the experts are telling you to hold longs do it. best of luck

However, I disagreed with the writer's conclusion to discount technicals. We need both, and to be used strategically.

{quote} No, I don't trade like that but I came just to share my opinion, and hoping somebody tell me wtf am I doing wrong? Everything points for longs, from fundamentals to general criteria in the forums, but when I look at the charts I'm seeing that long is losing strenght, volume is decreasing, MACD is showing wear, what I see is that long is losing it's fuel rapidly. What do or any of the other people in this forums think? What am I not seeing?
As ive learnt through the years, two things -

1) Keep it simple - many technical indicators are just...indicators...they don't predict the future. So don't place too much hope in them. (the forexlive article actually speaks quite a lot of truth!). Personally, i stick to trend lines, moving averages and support & resistance lines...and i use them to determine when to enter or exit a trade.

2) You can hold on to a view, whether bullish or bearish, but don't "marry" it. It's pretty easy to identify support and resistance lines. So if you believe it's going up, but yet it falls through support zones, you may want to think about getting out first, stepping aside, then deciding when to go long from again later when it has settled. it's no point insisting "It should go up!!" when it's showing you in your face that it's falling.

I'm no pro, i have days when i go "what the hell is happening in the markets??? im losing money again!!". but i've generally found success in the long run trading full time and making consistent returns. these two points have worked for me. good luck pal!

After flat to the point of 0.76494 the trend will move towards the resistance line to the point of 0.76836.

still looks like bearish PA overall to me (particularly the weekly)
A closed daily/weekly break of red TL would be encouraging

Good question, but I think the better question is...what fundamentals point to definitive longs on the USD?

I know nothing about definitives' in forex, but with diverging policies on interest rates and green US employment data lately, I would say probabilities are with USD longs against AUD.

I am also watching 19000 area on the DOW for long term bearish signs which, if plays out, will strengthen USD

Hmm, the difference between both sides is that one has some certainty in its actions whereas the other has been wishy-washy for the longest time ever. The market doesn't seem to bother with the uncertainty anymore I feel.

If you're talking about the certainty of the RBAs' actions in cutting interest rates, I don't see this as a positive for AUD regardless of how you spin it...

Im with commonwealth bank and my interest rate was just cut from 4.6 to 4.47. If banks are passing it on you can guess there will be more cuts to come. A couple of the big banks suggest the cash rate will be cut to 1% . Im not sure it will go that low but who knows. RBNZ are looking at cutting another .35%. So yes something is happening for them to keep cutting and its not a positive sign.

The market is in volatile times and the reason why its volatile because its uncertain.
