Hello, I am new to the forex and have been researching different technical methods. My main focus as of late has been the Gann fan. There seems to be a lot of info on how to use this tool correctly such as chart scale master time factor and different ratios given the market. Some of the examples I have seen regarding 45 degree lines etc. do not look like 45 degrees. If anyone can help with this topic, it would be much appreciated. Thx:)

beware... another vendor !

 

How did I become a vendor and how did I get an ad in my post? I would suppose a guy who makes blanket statements could answer both questions with ease. BTW, I did NOT put the ad in my post and in fact don't even know how to put anything other than a smiley face in a post. Oh, I do know how to be a vendor though. Geesh...

 

Thank you,

 

Tom

Hi there. I've been with TL for about a year, and just now found your forum. Haven't been an active trader for long, though; cash flow problems. (economic downturn, cutbacks at work, emergencies, home repairs, you know... Life :doh:) Hope to find info re: growing a small investment account with more than just savings, maybe ways to make my RSP function better. (FYI: "RSP" is Canadian for "IRA") Chat with you soon.

Hello everyone,

 

I happened to stumble on this forum and I think this is an awesome forum with alot of shared experiences.

 

I am from Singapore, work as equity dealer and trade binaries primarily.

 

I *think* I know how to trade, however i have very very bad money management. In my recent history, I have turned $300 into $10,000 in a matter on 30 working days, and i have also more in a single trading day.

 

I would like to gain a mentor of sort so as to refine and sharpen my skills. Cheers.

Hi All,

I am new to TL, hope you all had a Crackin Chrissy! Thinking of starting to trade fx. I have produced some great results trading securities on paper/demo and would like to transfer my skills, mainly mechanical methods of trading to the fx market. There is one thing i just can`t grasp with Fx and i hope an understanding TL member could possibly clear this up. Please excuse me if this is a stupid question! With Fx i dont understand how you can go long on a currency pair if you don`t have the counter currency to buy the base currency? e.g how can i go long on a AUD/CAD if my Fx accounts base currency is AUD. To me it makes sense that i could only short this pair!? Am i right to think this?? I really can`t grasp the whole concept, any help would greatly appreciated!

Hi All,

I would like to learn more about the same and will share my experience as well regarding how to make money using F&O.

 

Regards,

Larry

Hi all,

I am M.Ahmed.

 

Found this forum through google. I liked the way it is designed.

 

I am an experienced trader of Forex and binary options. I started Forex trading in 2007 and binary options in the start of 2011. Forex trading results were horrible in the first year. I started to break-even in 2nd year of my trading.

 

I do not believe in "6-figure in a year" type EAs or systems in Forex. I do not believe in "Holy Grails" in Forex.

 

With all my experience and my knowledge, I consider forex an investment opportunity where YOU define ur risk and market defines ur return.

 

I will surely participate here to learn more about trading and to deliver what I have learned from my experience.

    • Date: 22nd November 2024.   BTC flirts with $100K, Stocks higher, Eurozone PMI signals recession risk.   Asia & European Sessions:   Geopolitical risks are back in the spotlight on fears of escalation in the Ukraine-Russia after Russia reportedly used a new ICBM to retaliate against Ukraine’s use of US and UK made missiles to attack inside Russia. The markets continue to assess the election results as President-elect Trump fills in his cabinet choices, with the key Treasury Secretary spot still open. The Fed’s rate path continues to be debated with a -25 bp December cut seen as 50-50. Earnings season is coming to an end after mixed reports, though AI remains a major driver. Profit taking and rebalancing into year-end are adding to gyrations too. Wall Street rallied, led by the Dow’s 1.06% broadbased pop. The S&P500 advanced 0.53% and the NASDAQ inched up 0.03%. Asian stocks rose after  Nvidia’s rally. Nikkei added 1% to 38,415.32 after the Tokyo inflation data slowed to 2.3% in October from 2.5% in the prior month, reaching its lowest level since January. The rally was also supported by chip-related stocks tracked Nvidia. Overnight-indexed swaps indicate that it’s certain the Reserve Bank of New Zealand will cut its policy rate by 50 basis points on Nov. 27, with a 22% chance of a 75 basis points reduction. European stocks futures climbed even though German Q3 GDP growth revised down to 0.1% q/q from the 0.2% q/q reported initially. Cryptocurrency market has gained approximately $1 trillion since Trump’s victory in the Nov. 5 election. Recent announcement for the SEC boosted cryptos. Chair Gary Gensler will step down on January 20, the day Trump is set to be inaugurated. Gensler has pushed for more protections for crypto investors. MicroStrategy Inc.’s plans to accelerate purchases of the token, and the debut of options on US Bitcoin ETFs also support this rally. Trump’s transition team has begun discussions on the possibility of creating a new White House position focused on digital asset policy.     Financial Markets Performance: The US Dollar recovered overnight and closed at 107.00. Bitcoin currently at 99,300,  flirting with a run toward the 100,000 level. The EURUSD drifts below 1.05, the GBPUSD dips to June’s bottom at 1.2570, while USDJPY rebounded to 154.94. The AUDNZD spiked to 2-year highs amid speculation the RBNZ will cut the official cash rate by more than 50 bps next week. Oil surged 2.12% to $70.46. Gold spiked to 2,697 after escalation alerts between Russia and Ukraine. Heightened geopolitical tensions drove investors toward safe-haven assets. Gold has surged by 30% this year. Haven demand balanced out the pressure from a strong USD following mixed US labor data. Silver rose 0.9% to 31.38, while palladium increased by 0.9% to 1,040.85 per ounce. Platinum remained unchanged. Always trade with strict risk management.
