@myelbow4 Theres people taking the piss and all of that, mate, I wish you the best of luck! We're not all "right" for this joke of an education we're given, where we're taught by people we don't want to be like, to go rack up debt and get a job to ...

I'm betting the farm on forex

@Stanleya Sorry, I forgot to say, my broker also gives a quick overview of the coming day, so basically news points to watch. This is good as it ties in with my own research the night before. They release this around 7:00AM GMT, so I can take a look ...

Fundamental Trading with a Directional Bias

@Stanleya The monetary policies can all be found online. I personally read Bloomberg Currencies News everyday, CentralBankNews.info as it brings together a collection of stories per day, and then here on ForexFactory for the Calendar. I also follow ...

Fundamental Trading with a Directional Bias

Hi, welcome to the thread, great to have you. Fundamentals are what move the markets, so they're invaluable. When looking for strong and weak currencies, there are two ways, the healthy figures as you've mentioned but also what the central bank are ...

Fundamental Trading with a Directional Bias

We have a much quieter week coming this week but still shouldn't be a problem to make some pips from the market. Tuesday 13 January 2015 We have some inflation data coming for the UK. Inflation is a major concern for the Bank of England currently, ...

Hi, great thread here! I work a job full time that has good pay and I actually really enjoy. I also trade fundamentals of forex, well sentiment and fundamentals based on the news. I trade successfully just at certain parts of the day and it's a ...

Work Vs Trade

@Charismatic There may be more than these two reasons, in fact there definitely will be, but the ideal currency to hold money in is the US Dollar, so as the recession was ending people must have been feeling more comfortable with holding Dollars. ...

Fundamental Trading with a Directional Bias

@Charismatic Interesting article there sir. I'm not sure on the correlation to be honest. I did see this article... url It maybe seems logical that they have an inverse correlation. All the money in the world used to be backed by Gold. Not ...

@Charismatic Many thanks for your input. Yes I am aware that commodities prices all over the world and in different markets affect the currencies around the world but I have never made the connection which you've mentioned. It makes sense, and we ...

Fundamental Trading with a Directional Bias

@Kasrafx Many thanks for you interest. Yes that's correct, it should. There are reasons why, which boils down to the Fed. With thse intra-day trades, you can hold for a large number of pips and it will pay off like we saw with GBP/NZD on Monday, but ...
