LOL Patience, loved your quip about the boys and the scented candles too, good giggle stuff.

Woman traders??

Leon, at age 21, it's apparent that you don't yet know what it is that you don't know about the industry and why the trading floors are dominated by men, or for that matter, why women are actively disciminated against in the trading jungle. It's the ...

Woman traders??

Pardon me for interrupting this very deep and meaningful conversation between some of the boys about the perceived less noble attributes of female traders. Women do tend to make better traders because they have a more balanced hormonal ...

Woman traders??

Admire your tenacity, David... several years of driving your wife crazy and blown accounts, and still a believer. Might I suggest that the system you seek doesn't exist. Because this market is formless - highly fluid and changeable... systems as ...

Just basic question on trading successes

Trading Naked - Reading Candlesticks and other Price Analysis

On a 5M UJ chart on an MT4 platform (usually these are calibrated to US ET) in the middle of the night New York time, would make it mid afternoon in Tokyo - this is the quietest time of the trading day. Europe is not yet awake and the US has just ...

What time frame chart is it? And when in the trading day did it occur? (While gold was on dinner break?)

Trading Naked - Reading Candlesticks and other Price Analysis

They're busy fattening up the sacrifical lamb for New Years' celebrations, I see. Happy New Year to you Shuffl. 2009 is looking good. 6.30am 1/1/09. It's going to be a hoot'n toot'n, rip snorting barrel of fun.

Private Sector Credit data — Two scenarios... less credit issued because we have just had the big $1,000 per child + everyone on pensions govt cash hand-out (early Dec)... or more credit because Aussie's are addicted to credit as a means of ...

p.s. it will be interesting to watch the Aud in the last session of the week this week... whether or not it gets loaded up for Euro shorts the week after when market is fully liquid again. May be a brief time frame long opportunity that will extend ...

Aussie Pairs

Carry trade play thing at present. When traders return and market is fully liquid again in the New Year may be a better time to assess it's true value. While commodities are low, it isn't likely to see much movement, other than being bought up for ...

Aussie Pairs

All trading is judgement (knowledge + experience) and the balance of probabilities. The art of predicting accurately is indeed a craft learned through experience. Which is why it is highly advisable that newbies do not plow all of their available ...

EUR/USD flagging south this coming week

So, a question for Angela (who thinks/hopes the Euro is forming an alligator jaw to re-trace back to it's dizzy heights) What hard evidence exists that anything might occur next week or at any time in the foreseeable future to suggest that we might ...

EUR/USD flagging south this coming week

Apo, nothing is certain in these markets, that is for sure. However, any good trader seeks to minimise risk and maximise chances of a successful outcome according to their directional bias/assessment/analysis. There are times when the Europe session ...

EUR/USD flagging south this coming week

Hi Apo, the Euro bullish inclinations in the Asia and Europe sessions are my observations of a consistency issue over a reasonable period of time, e.g. if I am looking to short the Euro, I wouldn't (necessarily) do it when Europe has just opened... ...

EUR/USD flagging south this coming week

btw, your uptrend line on the daily chart above is not in the correct position... if you draw it in along the actual line of support, this is what you get... and you can see it has already significantly breached the uptrend and is now heading south ...

EUR/USD flagging south this coming week

The wick action on the 1H in the last 5 hours of trade is certainly something to watch. These tri tips or quad tips usually mean north travel, however, the sell off just before close tends to indicate that there may not be much depth to the support ...

EUR/USD flagging south this coming week

Another interesting continuation flag pattern forming on the 38.2 fib. Be interesting to see if it does drop off the edge again this coming week. It looked like it might find support here on Friday afternoon, but when you go to the smaller time ...

EUR/USD flagging south this coming week

The AUD will most likely just remain the carry trades' play thing for a good while to come. Commodities may well remain subdued for some considerable time. At times like this, the AUD doesn't stand on it's own merits, it's just a toy for shorting ...
