Does going to an Ivy League help you become a good trader

Sun Tzu, The Art of War .... "know yourself", "know your enemy". The guys are right, the ability to adapt and deal with fear (and other emotion factors within yourself) is critical. Humility and the capacity to bend with the market and allow it to ...

Does going to an Ivy League help you become a good trader

The EURAUD can hum along quietly, then suddenly turn into a mega roller coaster (2-3 seconds is all it takes). Not something for newbies to tackle because your account could be cut to shreds in a heartbeat. I'd suggest you start with something more ...

Advantages/Disadvantages of a AUD account

You will be exposed to EUR/AUD and AUD/USD changes, because all currency trading goes via the USD as the base currency... EUR/AUD is a cross, and a highly volatile one at present (check the chart). The advantages of trading in your own currency ...

Advantages/Disadvantages of a AUD account

Safe harbour - cash. Do your own homework, don't expect others to do it for you. You are probably going to lose whatever money you put into it anyway (because you need to be able to research and reach your own conclusions, if you can't manage even ...

Where is the safe harbour due to world financial and economic crises?

No. It most likely makes it harder to become a good trader. That's why, for some, it works. The discipline of a high quality education (wherever it comes from, through formal institutions or informal means) builds knowledge, character and sound ...

my comment as posted on Imarkets blog on the inverse H & S — The Aussie inverse head n shoulders has been forming for a while, but I'm a little concerned that the right shoulder is a less than reliable fabrication because of RBA ...

When reviewing articles from any source, one requires a capacity called "critical literacy", that is an ability to ask relevant questions such as... 1. What is the source? 2. What is their "agenda"? 3. What does the author stand to gain if I am ...

Yes, the price differential ex the dealing desk factor is important for charting purposes, especially for candles. Several other things to look for in comparing brokers - 1. The swap factor. 2. Use only fully licensed and registered fx brokerages ...

When you open a live account, do you automatically retain a demo one as well?

I'd suggest that you choose your broker carefully. Many have a dealing desk (that shows higher price over what is being traded real time on the IB), and pip spreads can differ quite widely between brokers (in addition to there being other hidden ...

Later mate, enjoy the stress free life. Thanks for your posts.

It rather increases the risk factor if you are looking to short, and/or limits the depth of a move. It also seriously pollutes the TA, making it unreliable. Took a short this afternoon during the news but leaving it alone now... interesting re the ...

The initial interference was defensible and warranted given the circumstances at .60c (carry trade unwinding and AUD short hedging in full flight), but not now. Continued interference is a very high risk move for RBA capital that should not be put ...

RBA buying up AUD again — Much as I like the notion of the AUD going long, interferring in the market in this way is extremely irritating. The RBA had better have very deep pockets is they intend to continue this. The AUD needs to stand on ...

If the Swissy breaks through 1.19 and holds, party will be over, new lows on the way. USDCHF weekly 200ema in play, either the gorilla or the trampoline.

Auslanco - GBP/JPY and GBP/USD (newstrade)

Swissy has had a collision with the weekly 200ema gorilla. May be about to get a serious hiding. We are happy little vegemites.....

Went long about 10 mins ago. Think the swissy has run into a brick wall (large collection of wick action to the upside of the candles on 15M chart, meaning serious price rejection, south travel likely). Will watch closely.

Interesting, Reuters just reporting that China's trade surplus hit a record $35b in Oct. Not exactly the scenario for an economy slowing to 5% as some would have us believe. And the AUD's fate? We shall see.

One should never under-estimate the strength of the USDCHF. It has this habit of consolidating endlessly before popping (up or down), which is one reason why I won't trade again today until it has some clarity of direction. In fact, it is such a ...
