Yesterday I mentioned you how can use Forex Factory to help you in the search for the right broker. Once you have signed up with a broker you want to make sure they play by the rules – Needless to say a lot of them don’t. However, realizing if you have an honest broker or not, is not the easiest thing in the world, and more often than not, you won’t know before it’s too late.

Forex Factory – Get an EA Developed

Posted on 06. May, 2012 by .

Yesterday I mentioned one of the new features over at Forex Factory, namely the brokers section where you can compare different brokers and see real-time spread from various brokers at the same time. This is just one of the many great features over at Forex Factory. It is easy to pay more attention to new social sites related to forex trading as such sites are created almost on a weekly basis and they get more attention than the old ones. However, with the massive amount of users and content on the site, visitors can really benefit from Forex Factory and often a lot more than one of the new sites.

The other day I stumbled upon Legacy Forex, a forex signal service which is receiving fairly good reviews around on the net. What is interesting about LegacyForex is that they verified historical performance shared via MyFxBook – This is a rarity as these services more often than not, cannot live-up their own promises.

Trading Forex – EUR/USD Waiting for a break of 1.300

Trading Forex – EUR/USD Waiting for a break of 1.300

Posted on 06. May, 2012 by .

With the recent NFP release, the direction of EUR/USD is still not completely clear. Overall I think we are likely to see the pair continue lower from this point, but we do have the 1.3000 key level just 80 pip lower than current market rate, which is why I would be careful jumping into a short trade at the beginning of the week. In addition to this, the pair is currently trading right at the ascending trend line, which is a level that could give us a bounce.

Before NFP and a Pre-130 Pip Drop

Before NFP and a Pre-130 Pip Drop

Posted on 03. Feb, 2011 by .

I am currently watching Jean-Claude Trichet and over the last hour EUR/USD has dropped more than 130 pips. This move is somewhat reflected in USD/CHF which has been moving up around 70 pips but Cable and AUD/USD has not really shown a lot of downside. Right now I am somewhat indecisive as I don’t really want to short a pair after a 130 pip move down, however it sure seems counterintuitive to go in on a long trade when everyone else, clearly is selling. However, with the expectations to NFP tomorrow we are likely to see a bit more of pre-sentiment buying into $. But then again, the bull move on EUR/USD over the course of the week really did come as a surprise for me, so I would prefer to stay out of the market for now, and wait for tomorrow after NFP and try to catch something on a post-News retracement kind of setup, if we do hit a good deviation. As my laptop just broke down, I think I will take rest of the day of and be back tomorrow for NFP. In the meantime, Casey has post on trading rules which you can check out right here.

I thought I would write an outlook for the upcoming week, and now, a couple of hours later, I am finally done. This sure did take me a bit longer than expected, simply because I was working with some new way to present this. So I emailed all my readers about an hour ago with the newly finished weekly outlook, and emails are starting to drop in with friendly feedback – Thanks guys. So if you are on my list, you should have a copy in your inbox by now. If not, you can grab a copy below, if you simply give me a tweet or facebook link. There should be some really good opportunities in the upcoming week, and all my ideas are posted in the outlook. I hope you guys find it useful. Let me know what you think.

GDP – The Turning point for EUR/USD?

Posted on 28. Jan, 2011 by .

We will get GDP out of US in just around 30 minutes. I am patiently waiting for this release and hopefully we will get a better than expected release and we could be looking at a lot of possible downside on EUR/USD, in my opinion. If we get the numbers close to expectations or better I am looking to sell EUR/USD on any kind of pullback after the immediate spike, when spreads are back to normal. If we do get a worse than expected number, I will re-access the market and wait for things to back to normal, and then look for normal setups according to typical technical analysis. However, I hope we will get a better than expected release but we never know, so there is no reason to jump in on something premature here. Wait for the release and if we get a better than expected I see three really good options for now; Possible short on EUR/USD, Short on AUD/USD and finally a long on USD/JPY. The long on USD/JPY would also be supported by yesterday’s S&P cut of Japan’s sovereign debt rating from AA to –AA, along with the strong drop we have seen in the pair in the last couple of hours, could set that pair up really well for a bull trade. Let’s see what US will give us.
