I made a play along today's single line trend line that it would go up to fill the gap but it broke the SLTL and am underwater a little right now (20 pips). If it stops me out below13300 so be it. It is a trade with some logic behind it, but perhaps ...

The Lonely Aftermath of China's One Child Policy

At this point it seems to me that trading any pair with GBP in it is simply like betting either red or black in roulette. I can't see any logic to trading as to the result of the vote either way. Lots of emotions in the British voting public right ...

Latest IPSOS Mori Brexit poll sees Remain leading with 55%

I'd be glad to hear a counter argument against the demographic time bomb in Europe. I find lots of folks who simply won't do the work to read the scientific documentation on birth rates. That's avoiding reality. I have never played a video game, but ...

We're about to see a mind-blowing demographic shift unprecedented in human history

The birth rate in European countries is below the 2.1 per couple needed to maintain a stable population. So their native populations are in an irreversible decline. It is an absolute demographic certainty that we are seeing the last years of native ...

We're about to see a mind-blowing demographic shift unprecedented in human history

Is this a trick question?

Is the Fed Behind the Curve?

I hate to speculate on anything that might smack of the sinister in Kuroda's recent tease about working to weaken the Yen--and then the non-action announcement which he had to know would cause a precipitous drop, considering the expectations he had ...

Yen rips higher against dollar after BOJ shocks market with no action

I expect consumers' confidence to continue to fall since we have a government by Presidential fiat and the two leading contenders for the Presidency are a bombastic boor and a possible indictee. All of the possible nominees have big negatives. Never ...

Other than threats, Kuroda has no more tools in the toolbox. Anything the Japanese do will be countered by other sovereigns on their own currency as they don't want to be the currency that can't expand their economy. Japan pretty helpless against ...

Trader: How Yellen scuttled Abenomics stimulus

I think there are several possible EW, depending on whether you are on the daily chart, 240 chart, etc. Waves within waves if you will. The Big Boys trade on much higher chart periods than retail traders so their perspective on technical Fibonacci ...

The Elliott Wave – The Ultimate Guide for a Forex Trader!

Technical bottom around 105 that many gurus saw months ago because of the Head & Shoulders chart pattern is in sight. I doubt the BOJ or government can do much. Abe tried to weaken Yen by more QE some hundred pips ago--and it worked for about 48 ...
