The dollar seemed on the fast track to cruise past 100 yen and beyond recently. During the six week long stock market rally, the dollar surge to a high point of 101 yen on April 6th. However, as the Dow has flattened and held above 8,000 the last couple weeks, the dollar’s momentum against its Japanese counterpart has waned. One dollar currently (April 28) nets 96.84 yen in Tuesday evening trade. After its brief jump over the century mark, the greenback has been on a steady decline. ...

A question many unseasoned forex traders ask about is about forex trading times: When Is The Best Time To Trade Forex? Unlike other markets the forex market trades 24/7 (Actually 24/5). The forex market opens for trade Sunday night (5 PM EST) and closes for business again on Friday afternoon (4 PM EST). When the Asian market is closing, the European market opens, then the US market until the Asian market opens again.
So this means to you that you as a forex trader has total freedom on when to trade. Not all trading times are equally profitable for forex trading. So the question you are going to ask is probably: When to trade? We are going to try to answer that question. Asian ...

As I go through my day as a currency trader/investor, I scan the long term charts to see what may be emerging. Today, I ran across a great way to earn some interest EVERY DAY and be in an investment that is headed higher. Not many investments in the world can boast that right now. However, the AUD/CAD currency pair (Australia vs. Canada) can boast just that. The downtrend (red line) has been broken. A spike low was put in place back in October and the price hasn’t looked back ever since. How many investments can say that? Most stocks, mutual funds and ETFs sure can’t right now! Yet in stocks, at best you normally earn QUARTERLY interest but in this currency pair, ...

After ending last week slightly higher versus most of its currency counterparts, the USD began this week’s trading with a continuation of its recent uptrend, appreciating against every currency rival except the JPY. Dropping below the 1.3000 level against the EUR this morning, and near 1.4700 against the Pound, the Dollar’s strength appears to be on schedule for further upward movement against these majors. The only pair to beat out the USD this morning has been the Japanese Yen, considering many traders are beginning to hedge their bets on the value of ...

A larger time frame can be considered any time frame larger than the one you are looking at to identify a trade entry. There are valid trading techniques and methods for almost any time frame however it is always important to be aware of what is actually taking place on the larger time frames such as the four hour and daily charts. Support and resistance are key levels we must always be aware of even if we trade on a five or 10 minute chart.
Often times day traders will use a smaller timeframe to identify entries and profit targets and their focus becomes myopic and they no longer look at the larger four hour and daily charts. I would like to discuss ...

About this Review: After roughly two months using the FAP Turbo, I considered important to share in this review not only details about the performance I have experienced so far, but also some technical information that might tell you a bit more about this forex software. A look at the FAP Turbo Claims: The creators of the FAP Turbo launched the product with a basic claim consisting of three different real money accounts that basically tripled their equity over a three month period. They focused on showing live statements of these accounts, instead of throwing bold claims about people becoming instant millionaires with FAP Turbo. This approach makes this software stand out from the crowd, and was one of the reasons I had better ...

The USD held minor gains against some pairs today but ended the day mixed as cross-spreaders took gains off the table and put the majors into near-term S/R; traders note that stops in range and US data today contributed to intraday volatility but by the end of the day the majors held key S/R putting the Greenback back on the defense through the end of the week. GBP rallied overnight to a high print at 1.5039 before profit-taking and aggressive sellers broke the rate back to the mid-1.4900 handle; the rate ...
