Here’s the market outlook for the week: EURUSD Dominant bias: Bearish This pair trended downwards last week, going below the resistance line at 1.0650. The movement so far this month is essentially bearish and there is a possibility that further bearish movement would continue to hold out, as the support lines at 1.0600, 1.0550 and 1.0500 are targeted this week. There is a need for price to go above the resistance line at 1.0800 before the current outlook can be rendered invalid. USDCHF Dominant bias: Bearish USDCHF is bearish in the medium-term, and bullish in the short-term. In the short-term, price has moved from the support level at 0.9900, towards the resistance level at 1.0050. This has already generated a short-term bullish signal, and a movement above another resistance level at 1.0150 would result in a Bullish Confirmation Pattern in the market. It is important to note that price has succeeded in breaching the great level at 1.0000 to the upside, making more bullish movement very likely. GBPUSD Dominant bias: Neutral GBPUSD is currently in an equilibrium phase – having moved generally sideways last week (though price was volatile on February 7). While the market could remain in the equilibrium phase, there is going to be a serious breakout this week or next, which would most probably favor bears. The outlook on GBP pairs for this month remains bearish and heavy selling pressure could start anytime. USDJPY Dominant bias: Bearish The bullish expectation for JPY pairs did not materialize last week, save a weak rally that was seen on Thursday. The bias on the market is still bearish, and price could attempt to test the demand levels at 112.50 and 112.00. On the other hand, the bullish expectation on JPY pairs are still in place: JPY pairs could assume strong rallies any day this week or next; with USDJPY being caught in a strong buying pressure. EURJPY Dominant bias: Bearish From Monday to Wednesday, this cross pair went down 180 pips, testing the demand zone at 119.50. Price has been making some negligible bullish attempt since then, rallying by 170 pips and getting corrected lower on Friday. This kind of alternative but transient victories between the bull and the bear would continue until there is a protracted, directional movement, which is expected to be in favor of the bull. Short trades are may not be held onto for too long. This forecast is concluded with the quote below: “By the way, the absolute best trading opportunities these days are in Forex.” – Dr. Van K. Tharp Source: http://www.tallinex.com

AUS200 Dominant bias: Bearish The market was mostly bearish in January, and that was strong enough to bring about a bearish outlook on the market. Although volatile, price has not trended significantly in February, but it is more likely that further bearish movement would be witnessed. The current bearish outlook would remain valid until price is able to break the resistance line at 5800.00, an occurrence that would require a strong bullish pressure. Normally, the resistance lines at 5600.00, 5500.00 and 5000.00 could be reached. SPX500 Dominant bias: Bullish SPX500 is neutral in the short-term, but bullish in the long-term. Price consolidated mostly in January – an event that is still in place. The consolidation is in the context of an uptrend, and it is seen as a mere pause. A rise in momentum is expected soon, and it would most probably be in favor of the long-term bullish outlook. A movement below the support level at 2250.0 would render this expectation ineffectual, while the expectation would be effectual as long as price does not break the support level to the downside. Possible targets for this week are around the resistance levels at 2350.0, 2400.0 and 2450.0. US30 Dominant bias: Bullish The movement on US30 is quite similar to the movement on SPX500. Price went flat throughout January, while the dominant bias remains bullish. Price has formed a base as a result of the recent flat movement in the market, and the base would be in place until a strong movement happens in the market, which would most probably shoot price northwards. The distribution territories at 20500, 20600 and 20700 could be easily attained this month. A movement below the accumulation territory at 19600 would lead to a bearish signal. GER30 Dominant bias: Bullish This trading instrument is in a bullish mode, which was started by the strong rally that happened in November 2016. Price consolidated in January 2017, and attempted to rally on January 25, but further bullish movement was rejected at the supply level of 11900.0. The market would attempt to rally again this month, reach the aforementioned supply level and then go further upwards towards another supply levels at 12000.0 and 12050.0. Nonetheless, this would require a strong buying pressure to achieve – especially a breach of the supply level at 12000.0. FRA40 Dominant bias: Bearish FRA40 rallied in December 2016, forming a bullish bias: But the perpetual bearish movement in January 2017 has led to a Bearish Confirmation Pattern in the market, which is still a kind of new, and which has much room to go. From the beginning of the year, price has come down more than 1400 points, and there is a possibility that it may reach the demand zones at 4700.0, 4650.0 and 4600.0. The only thing that can render this expectation invalid is a situation in which price rallies again by at least, 1400 points, bringing about a bullish bias again. Source: http://www.tallinex.com

Here’s the market outlook for the week: EURUSD Dominant bias: Bullish The bias on this pair is currently bullish. Price managed to go upwards last week, reaching the resistance line at 1.0800, but not able to stay above it. Several failed attempts were made, to breach the resistance line to the upside, and the goal must be achieved to save the current bullish bias. A movement above the resistance line at 1.0800 would reinforce the bullish bias – and failure to do that would eventually bring about a large pullback in the market. USDCHF Dominant bias: Bearish This market has been trudging south since the beginning of this year. From early January till now, price has gone down roughly 350 pips. As long as EURUSD goes north, USDCHF will continue to go south, for only a serious pullback on EURUSD can bring a meaningful rally on USDCHF. CHF is expected to become strong this month; plus the resistance level at 1.0000 would endeavor to impede rallies in the market. It would be difficult for a strong rally to take place. GBPUSD Dominant bias: Bullish GBPUSD made attempt to go upwards last week, but further upwards movement was rejected at the distribution territory at 1.2700. From there, price got corrected by over 200 pips, to close above the accumulation territory at 1.2450 on Friday. An upward movement from here would save the recent bullish bias, while a downwards movement from here would render the bullish bias invalid. Generally, GBP pairs are supposed to trend seriously upwards this month. USDJPY Dominant bias: Bearish The current bias on this currency trading instrument is bearish, because price has been trending downwards since the beginning of this year. Price has come down more than 500 pips since January, and it is approaching major demand levels. The demand levels at 112.00 and 111.00 could be tested on breached, temporarily. There is a strong possibility that JPY pairs would rally this week (most probably within Monday to Wednesday), and should that happen, USDJPY would rally seriously. EURJPY Dominant bias: Neutral The bias on this cross pair is essentially neutral, though there are bearish signals in small timeframes. The neutral bias can be ended by the expected rally on JPY pairs, which would also carry this cross pair along. Price might temporarily reach the demand zones at 121.00, 120.50 and 120.00. On the other hand, a serious rally would push price upwards by a minimum of 200 pips this week. This forecast is concluded with the quote below: “Don't let another year go by where you aren't inspired to cash in on everything the markets have to offer.” – Louise Bedford Source: http://www.tallinex.com

GOLD (XAUUSD) Dominant Bias: Bullish Gold rallied seriously at the beginning of this year, and in spite of the bearish retracement that was seen in the last several days of January. The month of February has also started on bullish note, leading to a bullish bias on the market. Price would target the supply levels at 1250.00, 1270.00 and 1290.00 this month. Bearish retracements would be temporary, leading to further bullish movements. The demand level at 1180.00 is set to impede bearish attempts this month, and as long as price stays above it, the bullish bias would be rational. SILVER (XAGUSD) Dominant Bias: Bullish The movement on Silver is quite similar to the movement on Gold. Price rallied in January 2017 and got corrected a little within the last several days of the month. A clean northward journey started again before the end of January and it has continued till now. There is a clean Bullish Confirmation Pattern in the market, and further northward journey is expected this month. There is an accumulation territory at 16.5000, which would try to hinder bearish attempts; the current bullish bias would be sensible as long as price does not stay below it. The targets for this month are situated around the distribution territories at 18.0000 and 18.5000 and 19.0000. BITCOIN (BTCUSD) Dominant Bias: Bullish Bitcoin has been bullish for several months in a row, though January 2017 was quite volatile. In the context of an uptrend, price consolidated last week, and ended the consolidation this week as it resumes the upwards journey. There may be increasing volatility or pullbacks in the market, but the overall movement should be bullish in February. The resistance levels at 1000.00, 1050.00 and 1100.00 could be reached this month, owing to the strong Bullish Confirmation Pattern in the market. The buying pressure is high.

Super Trading Strategies - Tapping the Hidden Treasure in the Markets “So much to know, so much to earn So much wisdom to seek and learn If we raise our hands, we’ll touch the sky Our beds are low, our dreams are high…” - Niyi Osundare I was born into a poor family of many children, and my parents struggled desperately to survive economically. I am a first-hand witness of extreme poverty, suffering, job loss and a high unemployment rate happening in the environment where I used to live. If you are reading this and you think you are currently suffering, you probably did not suffer as much as I did. Throughout my teenage years, I engaged in hard and exhausting manual labour to support myself and help my parents. This is one reason why I was fortunate enough to get an education. In spite of this, I was able to perform well at school because I developed an intense love for reading when I was eight years old. I liked to read anything I could lay my hands on. This has helped me gain lots of knowledge in many fields such as electronics, computers, history, literature, etc. When I was a young adult, the future looked bleak indeed! In spite of my knowledge, I was thinking of taking a loan to get a used car for commercial driving. However, I decided to teach at private schools for a time, for paltry pay, which managed to keep me alive. In 2007, my uncle called me and advised me to learn Forex trading, because it was very popular in my country at that time. I found someone to train me, but sadly, it was a poor training, and I suffered in the market for the next few years. No matter what I did I was losing money, until I got to a point where I began to think of doing something else with my life. I went to a friend’s house and I saw an old copy of TRADERS’ magazine on his table. I begged him to lend me the magazine. I went home to read it and I was enthralled by what Dr. Van. K.

Here’s the market outlook for the week: EURUSD Dominant bias: Bullish This pair went flat from Monday to Wednesday, not being able to stay above the resistance line at 1.0750. Price then declined a bit, in the context of an uptrend. Price has been going upward gradually since the beginning of this year, and this has led to a bullish bias, which would, however, be challenged in February. The downtrend may even start this week, as EUR is expected to become weak versus other currencies (except JPY) in February. USDCHF Dominant bias: Bearish USDCHF went sideways throughout last week – slightly below the resistance level at 1.0000. Price may temporarily go above that resistance level, but it would later journey further south. Apart from the sideways movement that was seen last week, price has been coming down gradually since the beginning of this year, and this has led to a bearish bias on the market. The bearish bias should continue in the month of February, owing to expected stamina in CHF. A bearish journey in EURUSD may help bring about some transitory rallies on USDCHF, but the overall movement would be bearish in February. GBPUSD Dominant bias: Bullish Cable rallied 280 pips last week, topping at the distribution territory of 1.2650, before the shallow retracement that started on Thursday. Since the low of January 16, price has moved upwards by 650 pips, but the bullish bias that has resulted from that may end soon, as a result of a bearish outlook on the Cable (and some other GBP pairs) in the month of February. While, price could test the distribution territories at 1.2700, 1.2750 and 1.2800, it might not be able to go very far, as chances of serious bearish movements are very high in February. USDJPY Dominant bias: Bearish This trading instrument has been coming down gradually since early January, and that has led to a Bearish Confirmation Pattern in the market. On Thursday, price began to rise and later on Friday, it closed above the demand level at 115.00. Further movement may take price towards the supply levels at 116.00, 116.50 and 117.00; and that may end up invalidating the recent bearish bias. Generally, the outlook on USDJPY for February is bullish. EURJPY Dominant bias: Bullish This cross pair is bullish in the short-term and neutral in the medium-term. Price managed to journey northward last week, creating a short-term bullish signal. In February, the only factor that would help this cross further upwards is the expected weakness in Yen (which would also help most other JPY pairs to rally). In February, an overall movement of at least, 500 pips, is expected in favor of bulls. Nonetheless, there may be some serious but shallow pullbacks along the way. This forecast is concluded with the quote below: “It's time to tap into your inner conquistador and become a winning trader.” – Trading Educators Source: http://www.tallinex.com

Here’s the market outlook for the week: EURUSD Dominant bias: Bullish EURUSD moved upwards by about 100 pips last week, now testing the resistance line at 1.0700. The upwards movement last week was not strong, but it was noticeable enough to show that the recent bullishness in the market remains a valid thing. This week, the resistance lines at 1.0750, 1.0800 and 1.0850, may be attained, as long as EUR continues to be stronger than USD in the near-term. USDCHF Dominant bias: Bearish USDCHF went down lower and lower last week, continuing the bearish journey that started early this month. The great psychological level at 1.0000 was tested again and again, but price could not breach it to the downside (staying below it). Price has repeatedly bounced off the psychological level, but as the bias is bearish, upwards bounces would only provide good short-selling opportunities. As long as EURUSD goes up, USDCHF would go down, and the psychological level at 1.0000 would end up being breached. GBPUSD Dominant bias: Bearish GBPUSD began the last week on a bearish note (other GBP pairs gapped down and then started trending upwards). Price moved up by more than 410 pips, reaching the distribution territory at 1.2400. However, the strong rally was not enough to overturn the recent bearish outlook on the market. For the bearish outlook to be overturned, price would need to go upwards by at least, another 300 pips this week; otherwise, the rally that happened can eventually turn out to be a temporary rally that later confirms bears’ supremacy. USDJPY Dominant bias: Bearish This pair went downwards on Monday and Tuesday and then started to go upwards from Wednesday to Friday. There is still a Bearish Confirmation Pattern in the 4-hour chart. Unless price is able to stay above the supply level at 117.00 - which would require a serious rally - the bearish outlook would remain logical. There are demand levels at 114.00, 113.50 and 113.00, which may be tested again, in case price comes down. EURJPY Dominant bias: Neutral This cross pair briefly ended its sideways movement when it assumed a southward journey on January 9. Price attempted to go further downwards last week, but further downwards movement was rejected before it reached the demand zone at 120.50. And since price has gone upwards on January 18 and 19, it has been forced back into a neutral region. This week, a serious northwards movement would bring about a “buy” signal; while a southward movement would simply bring back the recent “sell” signal in the market. This forecast is concluded with the quote below: “What I do believe, most of the time, are the numbers on the statement of my trading account. If they are getting bigger, then I am winning.” – Joe Ross Source: http://www.tallinex.com

Here’s the market outlook for the week: EURUSD Dominant bias: Bearish This pair trended downwards on Monday and Tuesday, and then began to make some bullish attempt, all in the context of a downtrend. A strong movement is not anticipated this week (although it is a possibility), for the market may not do more than it did last week. No matter what happens, there is not going to be an end to the current bearish outlook this year. In fact, price may test the support lines at 1.0400 and 1.0350. USDCHF Dominant bias: Bullish USDCH merely zigzagged throughout last week, with no directional movement. The overall bias is bullish, and thus, when momentum returns to the market, it may be in favor of the bias. Just like EURUSD, strong movement is not expected this week (but it can happen). There are resistance levels at 1.0300 and 1.0350. As long as price does to go below the psychological level at 1.0000, the outlook on the market would remain bullish. GBPUSD Dominant bias: Bearish GBPUSD dropped 250 pips last week, giving more and more emphasis on current weakness in the market. Price closed below the distribution territory at 1.2300 on Friday, targeting the accumulation territories at 1.2250, 1.2200 and 1.2150. There are huge Bearish Confirmation Patterns in the daily and 4-hour charts, which make long trades illogical at the present. A very strong bearish movement may be witnessed on GBPUSD before the end of the year. USDJPY Dominant bias: Bullish The market consolidated throughout last week. The major bias is bullish, and that is supposed to continue till the end of this year. There may be a rise in momentum, which may push price towards the supply levels at 117.50, 118.00, and 118.50. These supply levels were previously tested this month, and they could be tested again. Only a movement of about 200 pips to the south could threaten the current bias. EURJPY Dominant bias: Bullish This currency instrument trended downwards on Monday and then moved sideways till the end of the week, closing at 122.515 on Friday. There would soon be a directional movement in the market, but right now, it is better to stay away until that happens (unless scalping is being done in the market). A movement below the demand zone at 120.50 would end the bullish bias, while a movement above the supply zones at 123.50 and 124.00 would strengthen it. This forecast is concluded with the quote below: “[in trading] I choose joy over disappointment and contentment rather than instant gratification.” - D. R. Barton, Jr. Source: http://www.tallinex.com

Here’s the market outlook for the week: EURUSD Dominant bias: Bearish EURUSD trended downwards last week, just as it was expected. Price moved sideways from Monday till Wednesday, when it started dropping further downwards. The support line at 1.0400 was tested, and although price closed above it, it would be tested again. The outlook on EURUSD is bearish for this week. So we may see further bearish movements which may enable price to break the support lines at 1.0400, 1.0350 and 1.0300 to the downside. Eventually, EUR might reach parity with USD. USDCHF Dominant bias: Bullish In exact opposite manner to EURUSD, this market underwent a shallow bearish retracement within December 12 and 14. Price went up significantly on December 14, moving briefly above the resistance level at 1.0300, and later closing below it. USDCHF would continue to make rally attempts, though it would come across some challenges this week. While bearish corrections could be contained around the support levels of 1.0050 and 1.0000, the resistance levels at 1.0300 and 1.0400 would be the targets for this week. GBPUSD Dominant bias: Bearish This market consolidated on Monday and Tuesday, to drop southward on Wednesday, according to forecast last week, in the context of a downtrend. The accumulation territory at 1.2400 has been tested again and again, but there is a considerable amount of opposition to the bearish movement, around the accumulation territory. Price would go below it this week, owing to the fact that the bias on GBPUSD (as well as some GBP pairs), remains bearish for this week and for the rest of this month. Price would still go downwards by a minimum of 300 pips before the end of this year. USDJPY Dominant bias: Bullish According to last week analysis, this trading instrument went upwards 300 pips last week, after moving sideways on Monday and Tuesday. Since November 9, price has trended northwards more than 1700 pips; and the northward movement could continue this week. There is Bullish Confirmation Pattern in the market and the supply levels at 118.50 and 119.00 may be tested this week. As from now on, the movements on JPY pairs would be determined by strength of individual currency, not the weakness in Yen. This means USDJPY could rally further while GBPJPY could plummet. EURJPY Dominant bias: Bullish There are going to be serious movements in the JPY markets this week (while next week would be quiet), and EURJPY would not be an exception. This is a bull market, and while there may be occasional pauses and consolidation along the way, there could be further bullish movement. However, the ongoing weakness in EUR could scuttle this expectation. As long as price does not cross the demand zone at 121.00 to the downside, the bullish bias would hold. This forecast is concluded with the quote below: “In order to taste success in the trading market, you'll need to develop really simple strategies. You're likely to take trading decisions in a more confident way, remain headstrong and gain more winning opportunities when you follow some really simple strategies.” - Sean Lee Source: http://www.tallinex.com

“It’s Monday morning. You are warm and toasty in your bed, hearing the world around you wake up. You allow yourself a little sleep in, and then pull open the curtains. Your swimming pool is shimmering in the sun light, and your outdoor lounge beckons. After a satisfying breakfast, the markets open, and you casually look to see how your trades are doing. Then you settle back on the lounge and plan out your day. On your terms. Answering to no-one but yourself. Safe and confident in the knowledge that your trades are working for you... This could be your future.” – Louise Bedford (Source: Tradinggame.com.au) In April 2016, I wrote about 3 best traders I’ve even seen. These brilliant trades aren’t stars in the world of trading, but they beat the so-called stars. Their outperformance is huge! I promised to give you an update on the result and identities of these mad geniuses. They’re really exceptional in that they even participated in another private contests, which consisted of 100 profitable traders, and they came out on top again. This happened in spite of the fact that the market conditions during the first contest was completely different than the market conditions during the second contest. So they have strategies that can survive all market conditions. I’m very happy for them. For a reminder, these are the details of their recent performances: The contestant who came first turned 2,500 USD into 1,433,480 USD (57,239.20%). The contestant who came second turned 2,500 USD into 741,365 USD (29,554.60%). The contestant who came third turned 2,500 USD into 713,076 USD (28,423.04%). The top three traders are Andris D, a Latvian; Bogdan D, an American; and LD N, also an American. This is no surprise, Americans are among the most effective traders on this planet. WHAT THE BEST TRADERS HAVE IN COMMON These traders were interviewed, as well as other profitable traders. I read the interviews myself and would like to give you tips on what they’ve in common. They were gainfully employed before they became traders They even kept their day jobs after becoming traders. One is a soccer player. One is an electrical engineer, while one is a former submariner and currently a wealth manager in a trading firm. Being gainfully employed before one becomes a trader will help one’s psychology, contrary to the impatient and risky tendency of a jobless trader. It’s good to become a trader while you’re earning a steady source of income, not when you’re jobless and destitute. Those who’ve sources of income find it easier to speculate with monies they can afford to lose. They can also make rational trading decisions because their existence isn’t dependent on a single trading capital. This goes in a sharp contrast to someone who must make profits in the markets or go hungry. When you talk about trading in the hearing of those who’ve good jobs, they’ll reply that they aren’t interested. However, when they lose their jobs, they come to trading as the last resort. This is the worst time to become traders. It’s far better to become traders when you’re comfortable, and when you become consistently profitable, you can then go solo as a trader, if you think that’s viable. They’ve years of trading experience before reaching profitability One has 6 years of experience. One has 5 years of experience; while another has 10 years of experience. This means they’d been playing the markets for long, before they got to the stage in which they can pull out profits consistently. Let me tell you a fact. It’ll take you years to master the markets personally. Anyone who tells you otherwise is fooling you. Even if you buy a good trading system, you’ll need some experience to use it successfully. The way an experienced trader applies a trading system is different from the way a rookie uses a trading system. Don’t think you’ll come to trading and start making consistent profits right away. It’ll take you some years to do that. They go into trading to make money This is why we become traders: We want to make money. The major reason these geniuses become traders is to make money, and they craved profits badly enough. They wanted better living standards. They wanted financial freedom. They were aware that trading brings wonderful opportunities. But you don’t make money because you want money. You make money because you’re persistent, perseverant, diligent, and patient. You need to crave success badly enough. They use manual and automated strategies Manual strategies are good. Automated strategies are good. There is a genius who made huge money based on manual trading only. There is a genius who made huge gains based on automated strategies only. As long as you control your risk, stick to your rules and approach trading rationally, you would be victorious. They’ve vowed never to quit trading Whether the going is good or bad, these exceptional traders look forward to trading forever (until they drop dead). Unlike undisciplined traders who threaten to quit when they face drawdowns and promise to continue when they see positivity, these profitable traders have decided to continue trading, come rain or shine. Would you keep on being a trader, moving forward in your journey to success? Or would you stop being a trader because of the current roadblocks? Would you give what it takes to ensure that you reach consistent profitability? May you be given the wisdom to make decisions that would make it possible for you to be a testimony to others in future? Conclusion: Maximiliano Lepez’s college professor once told him he was foolish for thinking he could beat the markets. That statement was enough to discourage many people from trading, or who would not take a word of a college professor seriously? But Maximiliano didn’t allow himself to be discouraged. He went to the battlefield of the financial markets and became a proficient trader, using algorithmic strategies. He’s the last laugh. This article is ended by the quote below: “It’s a matter of finding an approach that works for the individual. A person has to know whether they are comfortable with fundamental or technical, long term or short term, certain types of markets, wider risk or less risk… You can go through a whole checklist of things and find it’s different for each individual.” - Jack Schwager Source: http://www.tallinex.com

Here’s the market outlook for the week: EURUSD Dominant bias: Bearish This pair made some bullish attempt in the first few days of last week. Price rallied 300 pips, testing the resistance line at 1.0850, before it began a serious bearish movement. The bullish gains that were initially made last week, were eventually lost as price plummeted, to close just above the support line at 1.0550, after testing it. The market outlook is bearish for this week, since EUR is expected to continue its weakness while USD would continue gathering stamina. There is a possibility that EUR would reach parity with USD in a foreseeable future. USDCHF Dominant bias: Bullish Last week, USD/CHF moved sideways from Monday till Wednesday, and then started moving upwards on Thursday, in conjunction with the extant bullish bias. Price tested the resistance level at 1.0200, and later closed below it. The outlook on the market is bullish for this week; price could reach the resistance levels at 1.0250 and 1.0300. However, it would also be seen that CHF is rallying versus some major currencies, which may prove to be a challenge for the bullishness of USDCHF. GBPUSD Dominant bias: Bearish Cable went upwards on Monday and Tuesday, reached the distribution territory at 1.2750. Price attempted to stay above that distribution territory, but the attempt was rejected as a southwards movement began, which eventually posed a threat to any bullish signal in the market. Price would move further southwards this week, going below one accumulation territory after the other. The outlook on GBP pairs is bearish for the week. USDJPY Dominant bias: Bullish USD/JPY consolidated from December 5 to 7, and the rallied on December 8 and 9 (though the consolidation started earlier than that). Since the low of November 9, the market has gone up by 1400 pips, and this would continue. As it was forecast every week in the last three weeks, the outlook on this market, and as well as other JPY pairs, remains bullish. The supply levels at 115.50, 116.00 and 116.50 could be reached this week. EURJPY Dominant bias: Bullish There is a conspicuous Bullish Confirmation Pattern on this trading instrument, albeit it is currently volatile. Price has recently swung up and down in the context of an uptrend, but the overall movement would be bullish. The targets for the week are supply zones at 122.00, 122.50 and 123.00, which were all tested last week. The major reason why price is generally bullish here is because there is a serious weakness in Yen, and as long as the weakness continues, EUR (which is weak on its own), would manage to keep on going upwards against it. This forecast is concluded with the quote below: “Trading and markets have been a major part of my life for almost 60 years. Trading has been the means through which my family and I have received many blessings.” – Joe Ross Source: http://www.tallinex.com

GOLD (XAUUSD) Dominant Bias: Bearish Gold trended downwards throughout last November, dropping over 16,000 pips from the high of 1336.98 on November 9. The overall bias is bearish, and therefore, the bearish movement is supposed to continue till the end of the year. Right now, price is consolidating, and that is what it has done so far this week. A rise in momentum is expected this week or next, which would most probably favor the current bearish outlook in the market. Even rallies would be transitory and could be shorted, since price could reach the demand levels at 1150.00, 1140.00 and 1130.00 within the next few weeks. SILVER (XAGUSD) Dominant: Bearish Silver trended downwards last month, and it has consolidated to far this month. There is a strong Bearish Confirmation Patterns in 4-hour and daily charts; so the current consolidation is merely a pause in the trend, for it is supposed to resume any time this month. Silver would not be able to rally significantly and hold it out long, until Gold is able to that. Price is now trading below the supply zone at 17.0000, and it would be going towards the demand zones at 16.0000, 15.0000 and 14.0000 within the next several weeks. Bullish attempts ought to be fleeting and should be disregarded. BITCOIN (BTCUSD) Dominant Bias: Bullish Bitcoin is in a big uptrend, which started early October 2016 (following the equilibrium phase that was witnessed in August and September). Since October, price has gone upwards by more than 16,000 pips, topping at 773.00, before it eased a bit. The northward journey would continue till the end of this year, going into next year, as price targets the distribution territories at 800.00, 850.00 and 900.00. Possibilities of pullbacks are present along the way, but these should be recovered quickly or gradually as price resumes its long-term bullish journey. Source: http://www.tallinex.com

Here’s the market outlook for the week: EURUSD Dominant bias: Bearish EURUSD consolidated throughout last week – in the context of a downtrend. A closer look at the market reveals that there has been some consolidation to the upside, and there would be some bullish attempt this week. EUR would rally versus most other major currencies, save USD, which is expected to continue strengthening this week. There are resistance lines at 1.0750 and 1.0800. There are also support lines at 1.0550 and 1.0500. USDCHF Dominant bias: Bullish This pair also consolidated last week; while consolidation to the downside is revealed by a closer look. USD would remain strong this week, and would be seen going upwards against certain major currencies. The challenge is that CHF would also make some rally attempts this week, and thus, USDCHF may find it somewhat difficult to rally massively. There are resistance levels at 1.0150 and 1.0200. There are also support levels at 1.0050 and 1.0000. GBPUSD Dominant bias: Bullish Cable ended a two-week equilibrium phase by breaking out significantly. The breakout was well anticipated and it ended up favoring bulls, as price went up 330 pips last week, slashing through the accumulation territory at 1.2700 and closing above it. This week, Cable would rally versus certain majors (like NZD and AUD), and of course, it is currently rallying against USD. This is something that may continue, but not without challenge from bulls. USDJPY Dominant bias: Bullish This currency trading instrument experienced some bullish movement last week. Price went up 300 pips, testing the supply level at 114.50, and unable to go above that supply level. Price underwent some bearish correction on Friday, but the bullish outlook is far from over. In fact, the outlook on the market this week is also bullish, and further northwards journey is expected. Price would need to go above the supply level at 114.50, and then continue towards the supply levels at 115.00 and 115.50. EURJPY Dominant bias: Bullish This cross underwent a smooth northwards movement last week, topping at 121.88, before closing below the supply level at 121.50. There is a Bullish Confirmation Pattern in the market and further bullish movement could be witnessed this week. There are possible bullish targets at the supply zones of 122.00, 122.50 and 123.00. On the other hand, the demand zones at 120.00 and 119.50 should try to hinder vivid pullbacks this week. This forecast is concluded with the quote below: “Over the coming weeks and months, many excellent short, medium and long-term trading opportunities for low risk Forex trades will present themselves. Now is the time to put together your game plan with multiple edges to profit from these trending currency pairs… Whether you want to open investment positions (using the weekly or daily chart), swing trade the 4-hour chart, or day trade the 5 minute charts, the opportunities are going to be plentiful. With these nascent trends, the leverage, the liquidity, and the 24-hour-trading the Forex market offers, you have to ask yourself: why aren’t you trading currencies yet?” - Gabriel Grammatidis (Source: Vantharp.com) Source: http://www.tallinex.com

REWARD VERSUS MEANING Trading success does not follow a linear trajectory, success ebbs and flows with good times and bad times. If you trade for long enough you there eventually will come a time when you question the decision you have made to become a trader. It all seemed so easy initially and there was never any consideration as to what could possibly go wrong. This is a natural part of the journey and it is a watershed moment because those who understand their own motivations will have sound concrete reasons for continuing. Those who do not or whose motivations could be termed shallow or materialistic in nature do not and it it those who do not who will most likely give up. Often when I ask people why they want to trade I get the overwhelming and immediate response – MONEY. After all this is a money profession – the aim of trading is to accumulate wealth through whatever approach suits your personality. It could be options or FX trading, or position trading equities. This pursuit of wealth as a sole driver is the reason why advertising in this industry is directed to switching on this particular hot button. Money or the accumulation of wealth has always been a strong societal driver. In technical parlance money is known as an extrinsic motivator – that is you do something right – you get a reward. It is a very Pavlovian arrangement. This arrangement is after all is the basis for capitalism. Traders are often caught in this trap believing that this is an exchange for labour profession when it is actually an ideas profession. This is a natural mistake because of all of our socialisation has lead us to this point. We have been lead to believe that labour be it in whatever form it takes is exchanged for money and money is the extrinsic motivator. Granted, some are highly motivated by such rewards since careers are built on this sort of behaviour manipulation but trading is not really a career it is in my eyes more of a lifestyle choice. Unfortunately many fail to see beyond this as an initial motivation. The issue with money as a motivator is that the subconscious cannot recognise what this means so it has no context for it. Therefore it cannot be integrated into ones psyche – it remains if you wish an outsider sitting on the sidelines attempting to steer what you do. But no matter what import you give to it as a motivation it is still an outsider and cannot directly influence the trajectory of your behaviour. The issue with this lack of integration is that eventually it will trip you up – the subconscious has a remarkable ability to go in the direction that it wants to go in. Not in the direction you think it should go in. And you and your trading suffer the consequences of this. In part this disconnect relates to the notion of the shadow which is an integral part of Jungian psychology. Essentially the shadow is the darker more destructive parts of ourselves which our conscious mind does not identify. And it these parts that often brings traders unstuck – the expression that is often bandied about is snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. Over the past three decades I have lost count of the number of traders I have seen who have been on the cusp of making it only to do something stupid. Sometimes the better angels of our nature lose the battle. To be successful at trading there is a need to integrate all of our beliefs, desires, and motivations into a cohesive whole as opposed to a jumble of vague ideas which revolve around money. Money as a motivation will fail to survive the first set back you have and there will be set backs since these are also part of the game. It is only deeper motivations that enable us to move on after being literally put on our arse by the market. To think that this will never occur is naive in the extreme but once again the industry itself is to blame since it only promises the new Ferrari not that you might end up actually catching the bus. A deeper reflection on why people want to trade reveals something other than money. And these answers reveal the true nature of the trader. Some relate to control of one’s life, others to time and having more of it. Others to what they will be able to do in the long term with their family. Such motivations are intrinsic; they are part of the fabric of the trader. Trading is merely a vehicle to fulfill these deeply held aspirations. The motivations that each person brings to a certain endeavor or choice is idiosyncratic and will not translate to someone else. Your goals only have meaning to you but this is the central issue, they have to be your goals and not someone else’s and this clashes directly with the way we have been brought up. The structure of our lives is largely built around fulfilling the goals others, be it doing what you we told at school through to following the instructions of your employer. Getting rich was often the payoff for following someone else’s instructions. It is not a value or meaning in and of itself. This is an important distinction because true motivations are based around meaning and not reward – Both Great change and great resilience comes from internal motivations and the strongest of these spring from the search for meaning. This means that the search for meaning is an internal search. You do something because you want to do it not because you will get a reward for it. Internal motivation brings about meaning and purpose and therefore adherence and dedication. Finding purpose in your own goals is a new experience for many since it is reflective of what you want from your life not what someone else’s either wants from you or wants for your life. This means that you have to undertake the hard task of writing down your meanings – what is your purpose in wanting to follow a certain path. It requires you to have your own philosophy and to be able to articulate what this is. This is the hard part – articulating what you want and you should be able to do this even if it is a struggle. Meaning has its own motivating qualities. I firmly believe that it is impossible to motivate someone irrespective of what the industry that has sprung up around positive thinking will tell you. Motivation and therefore reliance stems from meaning since true meaning cannot be dimmed by external events whereas simply being driven by a desire to have a Porsche by next Thursday will not survive the first hurdle.

AUS200 Dominant bias: Bullish On November 9, AUS200 dipped massively, reaching a low of 5042.00. Since then price has climbed numerous resistance lines (now support lines) gaining roughly 4500 points. Since the bias on the market is bullish, it is expected that price would continue going upwards till the end of the year. While there may be pauses, consolidation, and transient corrections along the way, the market is expected to reach the resistance lines at 5530.00, 5560.00 and 5590.00. SPX500 Dominant bias: Bullish This market trended south in the first few days of November, and then gapped upwards, assuming a strong bullish movement. The bullish movement was briefly interrupted on November 9 as price became extremely volatile, reaching a high of 2170.3 and a low of 2031.9. Since then price, has trended northward smoothly, reaching the resistance level at 2210.0. Attempt to close above that resistance level is currently not successfully, but that goal would be achieved this month, as price goes upwards towards the resistance levels at 2230.0, 2260.00 and 2290.0. US30 Dominant bias: Bullish What happened to US30 last month was quite similar to what happened to SPX500. Price trended downwards from November 1 to 4, and the gapped upwards to start a noticeable bullish journey. Price plummeted on November 9, reaching a low of 17478, owing to the US presidential elections results. From that low, price has appreciated more than 1780 points, to close at 19161 on November 30. There is a strong Bullish Confirmation Pattern on the market and the rest of this year would be bullish as price trudges towards the distribution territories at 19300, 19500 and 19700. GER30 Dominant bias: Neutral Unlike SPX500 and AUS200, GER30 did not do much in November. Price did start trending downwards for a few days, gapped up later and became seriously volatile on November 9. The market dropped like stone and quickly recovered – a kind of flash crash. Since then, price has entered an equilibrium phase, bringing about a neutral bias on the market. Now, there is a base, and a rise in momentum would force price to go out of that base, and when that happens, it would most probably favor bulls. The supply levels at 10700.0, 10750.0 and 10800.0, would likely be tested within the next several weeks. FRA40 Dominant bias: Bullish Interestingly, FRA40 almost did what GER30 did last month. It went south in the first few days of November, gapped upward, started a bullish journey, only to experience a flash crash on November 9. The market has recovered and it is currently making some attempts to go higher and higher, though bears are not making that an easy task (which explains the current choppy market condition). Since the outlook on the market is bullish, it is expected that price would somehow go upwards this month, maintaining the bullish outlook on it. Source: http://www.tallinex.com

Here’s the market outlook for the week: EURUSD Dominant bias: Bearish Last week, this pair moved largely sideways in the context of a downtrend. A break out of the sideways movement should happen before the end of this week (or next week), which would most probably favor bears. Although this pair is expected to continue its bearishness, especially in December, some bullish effort would take place, which may enable price to go upwards by 200 pips or more, before seeing another bearish correction, eventually. Time would tell whether EUR would reach parity with USD. USDCHF Dominant bias: Bullish Just like EURUSD, USDCHF also consolidated throughout last week, in a context of an uptrend. A breakout should happen before the end of this week, ending the current consolidation. Price is supposed to target the resistance levels at 1.0200 and 1.0300. On the other hand, bullish effort on the part of EURUSD might force USDCHF to retrace temporally southwards, towards the support levels at 1.0100 and 1.0000. GBPUSD Dominant bias: Neutral GBPUSD went flat throughout last week. The flat movement started about two weeks ago and it has resulted in a neutral bias in the near-term, while the major trend in the market remains bearish. A rise in momentum is expected this week, which would most probably favor the dominant bearish trend. The outlook on GBP pairs is bearish for this week, and thus, further southwards movement is expected on GBPUSD. USDJPY Dominant bias: Bullish USDJPY is currently one of the strongest moving currency pairs. Price went upwards 310 pips this week, topping at 113.89, before getting corrected a bit lower on Friday. Since November 9, price has gone upwards by over 1200 pips; plus the outlook on the market is bullish for this week, again (the outlook is also bullish on other JPY pairs). Therefore, occasional pauses and corrections are supposed to be transitory this week, as price goes further north. EURJPY Dominant bias: Bullish This is also a bull market – owing to the strong Bullish Confirmation Pattern present in it. Price went north 250 pips last week, after consolidating on Monday and Tuesday. The supply zone at 120.00 has been tested, and it might be broken to the upside this week, owing to the ongoing buying pressure in the market, brought about by persistent weakness in Yen. After the supply zone at 120.00 is overcome, the next targets would be the supply zones at 130.00 and 140.00. This forecast is concluded with the quote below: “Trading and markets have been a major part of my life for almost 60 years. Trading has been the means through which my family and I have received many blessings.” – Joe Ross Source: http://www.tallinex.com

Here’s the market outlook for the week: EURUSD Dominant bias: Bearish This pair went downwards last week, going below the resistance lines at 1.0650 and 1.0600. Since November 9, price has come down more than 700 pips, leading to a very strong bearish bias on the market. There is a possibility of further downwards movement, which could enable price to reach for the support lines at 1.0550, 1.0500 and 1.0450. This expectation would hold only as long as USD does not showcase any noticeable weakness. USDCHF Dominant bias: Bullish USDCHF moved upwards by 215 last week. Price managed to go above the psychological level at 1.0000, now at the resistance level of 1.0100. Price has gone upwards reluctantly so far, and there is a possibility that it would make further bullish effort this week. There is another potential target at the resistance level of 1.0200, but the further the market goes upwards, the higher the chances of a large pullback. The bullish bias would hold as long as USD does not lose stamina. GBPUSD Dominant bias: Bearish GBPUSD underwent a vivid bearish correction throughout last week – an action that has resulted in a bearish signal in the short and long terms. Long trades are currently not prudent in this market, unless price action reveals that things are conspicuously bullish. Right now, the market is in a downtrend, and only short trades should be sought. Rallies would offer opportunities to go short at better prices. USDJPY Dominant bias: Bullish There is a strong Bullish Confirmation Pattern on USD/JPY. Since the low of November 9, the pair has shot skywards by over 960 pips. Apparently, this is one of the strongest directional movement in recent months, and the supply levels at 111.00, 111.50 and 112.00 could be attained this week. The outlook on JPY pairs remains bullish for this week (just as bullish movements were forecast for most JPY pairs last week). EURJPY Dominant bias: Bullish This cross also went bullish last week, fuelled by the buying pressure in the market, and as a result of weakness in Yen. Because Yen is so weak that, even weak currencies like EUR and GBP could manage to rally versus it. In case a currency is strong in its own right, just like the case of USD, the rally against Yen would be strong and fast indeed. As long as Yen does not become strong conspicuously, the northward movement on EURJPY would continue. The supply zones at 118.00 and 118.50 are being watched this week. This forecast is concluded with the quote below: “YOU are the biggest factor in your trading success…” – Dr. Van. Tharp Source: http://www.tallinex.com

Trading For Sure Profits Rule-based discretionary traders are among the best traders on this planet. The trading strategy explained here is a rule-based discretionary system. Similarly, the fact that the majority of traders fail does not mean that trading is a dead end activity. Traders who are successful prove otherwise. Occasional losses leading to transient drawdowns are inevitable but not insurmountable challenges in trading. The secret to success lies in developing a deep love for trading and a willingness to apply trading principles that work. Trading principles that work are non-market specific. For a strategy to survive all market conditions, it must have three ingredients incorporated into it: aborting losers and capitalizing on winners, very low risk, and rock-solid discipline. These are the secrets of trading masters – trading success has nothing to do with your ability to predict the markets accurately. If you give yourself a sensible reward-to-risk ratio, you will survive the markets in the long run. For instance, it does not make sense to risk $20 in an effort to gain $2. These secrets are what make the difference between financial freedom and financial disaster – the difference between solvency and bankruptcy. The Pedigree of a Good Strategy It is very disturbing that so many traders find it difficult to survive on the markets. Many top market speculators are perplexed by a new generation of traders who do not seem to have a clue about the skills necessary to preserve their trading portfolios. The issue is: even if you are disciplined, it would be difficult for you to survive with a worse expectancy system, i.e. a system whose risk is greater than the reward. And checking complex data ad infinitum is not so sensible for simple markets either. Good trading strategies are the ones that survive all market conditions. This kind of strategy must be effective in sustaining minimal drawdowns when the market conditions are not favorable – while making a decent profit during favorable market conditions. Whether a strategy is trend-following or countertrend or scalping, it will survive all market conditions provided that those simple but effective principles are incorporated into it. The markets eventually reward those who show an earnest quest for trading mastery.

Here’s the market outlook for the week: EURUSD Dominant bias: Bearish This pair started a bearish movement on Monday, which was briefly interrupted by a massive rally, caused by the U.S. presidential elections results. Price rallied 280 pips on Wednesday and started coming down that day, forming a Bearish Confirmation Pattern in the market. The support line at 1.0850 is almost being breached to the downside. While the support lines at 1.0850 and 1.0800 could be breached this week, there is also a possibility of rallies in the market (especially when USDCHF pulls back again). USDCHF Dominant bias: Bullish USDCHF moved sideways on Monday and Tuesday, and plunged seriously on Wednesday, November 9. The bearish plunge was quickly recovered as price rallied massively 290 pips that day, from a low of 0.9549, leading to a bullish signal in the market. Price could now target the resistance level at 0.9900, 0.9950 and lastly, 1.0000. However, a great challenge remains at the resistance level at 1.0000, which is a psychological level. In case price is unable to go above that psychological level, there could be a clear bearish correction. GBPUSD Dominant bias: Bullish Cable remains bullish in the near term, and bearish in the long term. The market is quite choppy, having consolidated from Monday to Thursday (in the context of a near-term uptrend), and then going upwards vividly on Friday. Further upward movement is anticipated this week, as the bias on the market remain bullish. The distribution territories at 1.2650, 1.2700 and 1.2750 may be targeted this week. The distribution territory at 1.2650 was tested last week, and it could be tested again, and a northward movement of 500 pips more, would cause a bullish signal in the daily chart also. USDJPY Dominant bias: Bullish As it was forecast last week, JPY pairs really made bullish attempts. The bullish journey started on Monday and it was briefly interrupted on Wednesday as there were temporary massive sell-offs on USDJPY. Price plunged by roughly 400 pips on Wednesday and rallied on the same day, plus Thursday, and consolidated on Friday. The market is currently above demand levels at 106.00 and 106.50, targeting the supply levels at 107.00, 107.50 and 108.00 this week. The outlook on most JPY pairs remains bullish for this week (with possible exceptions of AUDJPY and NZDJPY). EURJPY Dominant bias: Bullish The movement on this currency trading instrument was not as strong as that of USDJPY. The market is quite choppy while the outlook on it remains bullish. Should EUR gather some stamina this week, there could be more predictable bullish movement. Initial targets on the upside are the supply zones at 116.50 and 117.00. For price to go above these targets, persistent buying pressure is needed.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT MASTER TRADERS – PART 21 “Trading shares many similarities with another past-time I enjoy: strategy games. I love playing chess, and I think trading and chess require a similar set of characteristics to do well — they require that you act thoughtfully, never impulsively.” - Ron Kapar Name: Bill Dunn Nationality: American Occupation: Trader and portfolios manager Website: Dunncapital.com NO HESITATION FOR HOME RUN Bill spent his childhood in Kansas City and Southern California. He served 3 years with the U.S. Marine Corps. He got his Bachelor’s Degree in Engineering Physics from the University of Kansas in 1960. Then he obtained a Doctorate in Theoretical Physics from Northwestern University. In the following 2 years, he was a researcher in faculty positions at University of California and Pomona College. He also worked in logistics and operational systems in other areas. In 1974, Bill founded DUNN Capital Management, a Commodity Trading Advisor (CTA) with a long, rich history of experience and performance. Dunncapital.com states that, with 19 partners contributing a combined $137,000, Dr. Bill officially launched his finance career, trading client money in his 100% systematic managed futures strategy. When a trading opportunity presented itself, it was all or nothing, never hesitating to swing for the home run. He traded only 11 markets at that time, being in an uncharted territory at the time and breaking new ground in an undeveloped alternative asset class. The firm has a track record that spans over 30 years and has produced a compounded annual rate of return of 14.2% per annum, after all fees and expenses. Their staff are highly experienced and well-educated. Bill Dunn is now the Chairman Emeritus of DUNN. In January 2010, a business succession plan was put into place that gave Martin H. Bergin partial ownership of the firm. In August 2015, Mr. Bergin became the sole owner of DUNN. This means is Mr. Bergin currently the President and Owner of DUNN. What You Need to Know: 1. Bill Dunn is a trend follower. He trades what he sees. The benefit of doing this is clear in his track record. 2. Sometimes, he made great profits. Sometimes, he suffered some drawdowns. Such is trading. No matter the level of volatility in his portfolios, he never deviated from his main methodology. 3. For Bill, the markets are his real world. He started just like any one of you. He came across a newsletter while still young, and he was hooked. The rest is a story… 4. He’s a long-term trader, sometimes holding positions for more than a year. He’s computerized his strategy. At least, his background in scientific research and mathematical analysis both in academia as well as in the defense contracting industry has been applied to trading; and successfully. He himself said: I felt there were very definite economic trends that were established from knowledge and the ability to know what events meant. I was looking for a way to participate in [those] major trends when they occurred, even though they were unexpected.” 5. We don’t change our profitable methodologies because of drawdowns. Minor changes might be made to make a good methodology perform better, but that should not interfere with a good trading idea. 6. Bill acknowledges that money management is the true survival key; plus trading without a predefined exit strategy is a recipe for disaster. Conclusion: Speculation has to do with the unpredictability of the future. Whatever people do have to do with some of forecast which is inherent in the uncertainties of human acts and actions. This article is ended with a quote from Bill: “We have not made any changes because of a drawdown. While we have made minor changes since the program started trading in 1974, over the course of the years the basic concepts have never changed. The majority of the trading parameters and the buy and sell signals largely have remained the same.” Source: http://www.tallinex.com

Here’s the market outlook for the week: EURUSD Dominant bias: Bullish From the weekly low of 1.0935, this pair went upwards by over 200 pips, to close above the support line at 1.1100 on Friday. Price is now close to the resistance line at 1.1150, and a breach of that resistance line would enable price to go towards another resistance lines at 1.1200 and 1.1250. As long as the support line at 1.1000 is not broken to the downside, the bullish signal, which has formed in this market, would remain valid. USDCHF Dominant bias: Bearish USD/CHF was unable to go above the psychological level at 1.0000. An attempt to do that on October 25 was quickly forestalled – even before that psychological level was even tested. It has been mentioned that failure to breach the level might result in a serious pullback, and that was exactly what happened. Price pulled back significantly last week, to close below the resistance level at 0.9700 on Friday. This 210-pip bearish movement has resulted in a Bearish Confirmation Pattern in the market and further price decline is a possibility this week (unless USD gathers some stamina). GBPUSD Dominant bias: Bullish Following a few weeks of consolidation, GBPUSD rallied massively last week. Price went upwards 370 pips, to test the distribution territory at 1.2550. The bias has already turned bullish in the short term (though it would take another 1000-pip movement to the upside, before the bias on the daily chart can turn bullish). Right now, there is a strong buying pressure in the market and this should continue this week. Unless USD gathers lots of stamina, bulls would be able to reach the distribution territories at 1.2650, 1.2700 and 1.2750. USDJPY Dominant bias: Bearish USDJPY consolidated on Monday and then plummeted on Tuesday. While going south, the demand level at 102.50 was almost tested, and this has brought an end the recent bullish bias. The demand level at 102.50 would eventually be tested, and probably breached to the downside. However, there is also a possibility that JPY pairs would make some bullish attempts this week, which could also be reflected on USDJPY. EURJPY Dominant bias: Bullish This trading instrument did not move very much last week. Unlike USDJPY, it was engaged in a slight bearish correction in the middle of last week; and the corrective actiion was ended on Friday as the market closed on a bullish note. This week, whatever happens to EUR would have some impact on the market. Before the end of the week, price would have gone either above the supply zone at 115.50 or below the demand zone at 113.50. This forecast is concluded with the quote below: “I'm a full time trader. Nothing else…For all of you guys that think trading full time isn't possible, well I'm here to tell you it is. I actually met another full time trader the other day at the basketball court (trading for 20 years) and he trades millions of dollars. So I don't understand why people think that trading full time a myth...” – MarketAddict (Source: Elitetrader.com) Copyright: Tallinex.com

“Acceptance is a good state for trading because at this level you can accept losses and profits — both of which are a regular part of trading. In fact, acceptance of small losses is critical to successful trading.” – Dr. Van K. Tharp WHAT’S YOUR ATTITUDE TO TRADING CHALLENGES? Michael: “I put so much effort and time into my trading, and still didn’t get it right! I’ll never succeed at trading. No matter how hard I try, it’s never good enough. Why do I even try?” Akin: “I can see that I’m making some progress in trading, but I made some embarrassing mistakes. I’ve learned some valuable lessons that will make me do better next time.” Questions: 6 months from now, which one would be a more competent trader Michael or Akin? If you want to have a good trader as a friend, which of those two men would you be more likely to keep? When you face frustration in trading, how do you react? Sade is fed up with trading and she refuses to take steps that can make her improve. She reasons, “Why should I waste my time on a career that gives me nothing in return?” Michelle makes concerted effort to be a good trader and to help other traders, whether she makes profits or not. She takes to heart the Golden Rules of trading, for she believes they work. For Michelle, trying to be a better trader brings rewards with the time. Questions: Which of these 2 women did you think would be successful as a trader? Which one would have better results in future? Are you like Sade or Michelle? WHAT CAN YOU DO? Avoid Pessimism: Pessimism will sap you of the strength you need to improve your trading and help deal with the challenges. Your outlook and attitude aren’t set in stone. You can be made “new” in your thinking (and ongoing process). Focus on the Positive Aspects of Trading: If you see everything about trading negatively, you will feel “afflicted” and every day will appear “bad” or gloomy. But if you focus on positive things in trading, you will have a “cheerful heart” and even feel joyful. The choice is yours. Occupy your mind with encouraging subjects on trading. Do Things to Help Other Traders: Look for opportunities to be self-sacrificing when it comes to helping other traders who need assistance. I haven’t totally put aside my long-term goals. But I’m focusing on the smaller goals I can reach now. When discouraging thoughts creep into my mind, I reflect on the many reasons I’ve to be a happy trader. If you’re dealing with negative trading circumstances, please ask yourself: Is the situation really hopeless? Have I reached a dead-end or is this merely a road-block. Learn to keep negative thoughts out by concentrating on something constructive in your career. Conclusion: Care for your attitude toward trading in the same way you would cultivate a garden. Root out the poisonous weeds of pessimism and negativity. Sow seeds of realistic optimism, and fertilize your life with actions that produce positive emotions. You will reap emotional crop that will make your trading career much more rewarding. And it will confirm that a trader’s attitude makes a difference!

AUS200 Dominant bias: Bearish AUS200 consolidated in the first few weeks of October, and dropped conspicuously last week. There are Bearish Confirmation Patterns in the 4-hour and daily charts, which portend the possibility that price could go further south. Therefore, price may target the support lines at 5200.0, 5100.0 and 5000.0 this month, though there would be temporary consolidations or rally attempts along the way. SPX500 Dominant bias: Bearish SPX500 has been consolidating for months. Price has been unable to effect any meaningful bullish rally since August and things are going gradually bearish. Right now, there are bearish signals in the 4-hour and daily charts, and so, the market may reach the support levels at 2100.0, 2090.0 and 2080.0. It is most likely that bears would dominate the market till the end of this year. US30 Dominant bias: Neutral This trading instrument has been in an equilibrium phase since August 2016, though price moved a bit lower in September, and then moving sideways till now. Although the equilibrium movement may continue for some time this month, a rise in momentum is imminent, and that may happen this month or next. A break above the distribution territory at 18650.0 would result in a bullish outlook; and a break below the accumulation territory at 17900.0 would result in a bearish outlook. As long as price is between these accumulation and distribution territories, the market would be viewed as being in an equilibrium phase; and so, a strong and persistent buying or selling pressure is needed to push price out of that zone. GER30 Dominant bias: Bullish On the daily chart, the bias on GER30 remains bullish. However a closer look at lower timeframes reveals that price is being corrected. Last week, a clear bearish correction was witnessed on the 4-hour char, though that is not yet strong enough to pose a serious threat to the bullish bias on the daily chart. This week, the current bullishness in the market would be most probably maintained, which cannot be overturned until the demand level at 10100.0 is breached to the downside. FRA40 Dominant bias: Bullish The situation surrounding this market is quite similar to the condition affecting GER30. The bias on the daily chart is bearish, but some correction has been going on a lower timeframe like the 4-hour chart. The bullish bias would continue to be safeguarded irrespective of some transitory pullbacks along the way, except a breach of the demand zone at 4350.0 is breached. Copyright: Tallinex.com

Here’s the market outlook for the week: EURUSD Dominant bias: Bearish This pair moved sideways last week, and then traded upwards on Friday. However, that was not significant enough to result in any bullish signal. The bias on the market remains bearish, and what happened on Friday could turn out to be a short-selling opportunity. The outlook on EUR pairs is bearish for this week, and therefore EURUSD would keep on being bearish. Price may thus test the support lines at 1.0900, 1.0850 and 1.0800 this week. The only thing could help bulls here is a large pullback on USDCHF, which is not likely this week. USDCHF Dominant bias: Bullish This trading instrument has managed to climb above the resistance level at 0.9900, before bears pushed back the price below it. The market has been consolidating for two weeks, though the bullish outlook remains valid. The outlook on USD is bullish for this week and this month, which means most major currencies would be weakened against it. USDCHF would make bullish attempts but there is a very difficult resistance level at 1.0000, which would require lots of buying pressure to breach. Should bulls fail to breach that resistance level, a pullback may materialize. GBPUSD Dominant bias: Bearish Cable has been moving sideways for two weeks, which has resulted in a neutral bias in the short-term. The long-term bias is bearish, and when momentum rises, it may favor bears. The outlook on the market is bearish for this week, and rallies should be disregarded, for they would be transitory and cannot be significant enough to bring an end to the current long-term bearish outlook. In November, large movements would be witnessed on GBP pairs, and they would undergo bearish movements in most cases. USDJPY Dominant bias: Bullish As it was mentioned in the last forecast, USDJPY has become bullish. Price moved upwards by 170 pips last week, to test the supply level at 105.50. The bearish correction that was seen on October 28 was just another opportunity to buy long when things are on sale, in the context of an uptrend. The most probable movement for JPY pairs is bullish for this week, though the situation may change before or by the end of November. EURJPY Dominant bias: Bullish In spite of the weakness in EUR, the EURJPY cross rallied by 230 pips last week. Price closed at 115.11 on Friday, after forming a clear Bullish Confirmation Pattern in the 4-hour chart. The current price action shows that bulls are still willing to push price further north, which may make price to reach the supply zones at 115.50, 116.00 and 116.50 this week. After all, it is expected that JPY pairs would make some bullish attempts in the week.

Here’s the market outlook for the week: EURUSD Dominant bias: Bearish EURUSD dropped by over 100 pips last week. Price has dropped by more than 300 pips since October 10, resulting in a Bearish Confirmation Pattern in the market. The outlook on EURUSD (and other EUR pairs) is bearish for this week. Therefore, slow and steady downward movement is expected on EURUSD and the support lines at 1.0850 and 1.0800 could be tested this week. Rallies would proffer opportunities to sell short at better prices. USDCHF Dominant bias: Bullish Bulls laid a decisive siege at the support level at 0.9900 (formerly a resistance level) from October 12 to 20. It was already forecast that bulls would not find it easy to break the level at 0.9900 to the upside. On October 20, bears gave way to the persistent bullish pressure, partly due to existing stamina in USD. Price was able to close above the support level at 0.9900 after testing the resistance level at 0.9950, and retracing. This week, further bullish movement is possible in the market, because USD is strong and because CHF would be weak this week. Some currencies would rally versus CHF and this would help USDCHF to go more northward, though a significant bullish movement is not likely. GBPUSD Dominant bias: Bearish GBPUSD made a shallow rally attempt from Monday to Wednesday and then consolidated till the end of the week. As it was hinted in the last forecast, this week would witness more volatility on GBP pairs when compared to last week. This means the present consolidation on GBPUSD would end as momentum rises, though the outlook on GBP pairs is bullish for this week. In case GBPUSD rallies, we would not anticipate a serious threat to the extant dominant bias in the market. USDJPY Dominant bias: Bullish USDJPY went sideways throughout last week – a situation that could be termed a sideways movement in the context of an uptrend. The outlook on JPY pairs is bullish for this week, and USDJPY might be able to rise towards the supply levels at 104.50, 105.00 and 105.50. This is a situation that could lead to a strong Bullish Confirmation Pattern in the 4-hour chart. The supply levels at 103.00 and 102.50 would serve to restrict large pullbacks this week. EURJPY Dominant bias: Bearish There is a bearish signal on this trading instrument, as price dived by 170 pips last week. One great factor that has contributed to this bearish signal is the weakness in EUR itself, and the only factor that could effect any rally on this instrument is the fact that Yen could become weak (thereby causing JPY pairs to rally this week). In case EUR becomes weaker than Yen, price would fall further. A factor that causes Yen to become weaker than EUR would bring some rally in the market.
