Not for me, but could work — You're welcome. I have no need for a signal service as I think my style of trading is very different to most people on this forum and I can't really rely on others to give me accurate trading signals. Anyways I ...

Clarification regarding QE — Hi Lotuselanman, Sorry for not being clear, what I meant was how the UK economy will cope when there is no ADDITIONAL QE over the planned 200 Billion GBP, being injected into the economy. So it's the former not the ...

Keep in mind the time aspect of funnymentals — Hi LarryK, Yes, you are absolutely right. Keep in mind that you will see times where the market moves in the opposite direction to what the fundamentals are indicating. In fact, just as you see ...

Yes, this is correct but not complete. You have to keep the big picture in mind here in regards to the UK economy. Looking at economic data releases without understanding the big picture can be compared to doing technical analysis without knowing ...

My disclaimer on funny-mentals — There's just a couple of things I would like to clarify. This will be simple repetition for those of you understand fundamentals. The first is that we all know that we have short term, medium term and long ...

Interesting with fundamentals — Well, it's nice to have some company for once! (Perhaps I should reconsider my position ) Yeah, I find myself pretty lonely at times as well. I remember several years ago throwing out the ridiculous ...

Great post — Hi Mr demark, Great post, I agree with you 100%. My comments follow: 1. You will not make any money from Forex unless you understand the architecture of the market (why prices move) and the psychology behind it all. Why does the ...

Long Term trend change in USDJPY — Hi Alexandra, I agree with your analysis, I am also long in the USDJPY after it hit 85 back in Nov 09. Not so much that Japan needs a weaker Yen, they do in order to help their export based economy, but the ...

If this keeps happening to you then there is something wrong with your trading style / system. My SL rarely gets hit, I trade the medium to long term and my stops are around 1 ATR on the dailies, if the trade doesn't move as I expected I'll close it ...

US and JP are very different economies — US and Japan are both safe haven economies, but that's where the similarities end. US is a consumption based economy, where Jp is an export based economy. Currently the USD has been the preferred ...

Waste of time — I tried to answer these exact same questions for years, and all it did was become a waste of time. Programming EAs over short time frames is basically trading the noise fluctuations, very unpredictable. Instead you should be ...

do markets trend more then range?

I'm short and targeting a correction down to at least 0.87 over the next 2 months. Over the long term, the Aussie will appreciate as the Aussie economy is very strong. However there are greater economic forces at work right now. -Razorjack

AUD/USD

I'd be a bit careful with this. The extent of the 1st leg of the Long Term downtrend has been very long when you compare it to all other market swings in USDCAD, so a correction is expected to at least around 1.09 before moving into the 2nd leg. ...

yes, I believe the first leg of the long term bull run since March/April 09 is overextended and I'd expect a correction at least down to 0.87 before continuing the up on the 2nd leg. I also believe that this correction between will happen very soon, ...

You're welcome. And yeah I understand completely, it can be alot to take in when you're just starting out. I also first started out trading purely technical on short term time frames. And then I moved to technical long term trading, then I added ...

Hi Lotuselanman, Yes, I think your basic interpretation is accurate, but there is a bit more to it. When the USDJPY hit 85, that was the threshold of pain for the JP gov't. For the last few market cycles, ever since JP has been in a recession, the ...

Hey spekitox, In my opinion making calls on time frames lower than dailies is difficult, there is too much noise involved. In fact in my opinion there is still quite a bit of noise in the daily time frame as well, which is why I prefer the longer ...

Hi 4xmajkel, On my charts, the trendline from .8733 is still in tact with the daily bar piercing it. Please keep in mind that I use daily charts and higher. I'm short AUDUSD targeting at least 0.87. I put my stops right above yesterday's high at ...
