Build a Financial Plan “as you see it”

Several years ago, in the best-selling book The Millionaire NextDoor, the authors described the day-to-day lives of contemporary millionaires: what they think, what they buy, their daily habits, and so on. What came through loud and clear was a mindset of success.

Those millionaires next door were recognizable—in other words, in lots of ways, they weren’t all that different from you and me. But they were distinctive in the way they thought about the world, and about their…

EUR/USD: Technical Analysis

This pair has pulled back, consolidated and is now rising again. Whether we are in a 4th or 5th Elliot wave of the C move up is difficult to ascertain, but probably still the wave 4. There is considerable overhead resistance from the monthly pivot and an old trend-line but if prices go higher they could reach the 200 Day MA at 1.3220 before reversing. If we are still in wave 4 then there may be a pullback to 1.3040… Continue

EUR/USD: Technical Analysis

This pair has corrected the rally up to the 1.3120 highs. The retracement is probably an Elliot wave 4 which probably has further to go. It could end at the area of the 4th wave of lesser degree at around 1.2975 where there is also Fibonacci and moving average support. After 4 completes, wave 5 should rally back up to the area of the 1.31 highs.…

How much profit can we expect to achieve in Forex?

The main reason traders are attracted to Forex is profit. Can I achieve +100% profits in a year with this particular system or method? Practice will make perfect and will allow you to find out if the trading strategy is in agreement with your own style and personality.

Now, any method is much less important than the trader him/herself, how does he/she apply the technique, which timeframes are used, how many hours a day will be devoted to trading, what risk level can be… Continue

Understanding the Moving Average Convergence Divergence, better known as MACD

How does it work? It's really simple !!!

A trend-following momentum indicator that shows the relationship between two moving averages of prices. The MACD is calculated by subtracting the 26-day exponential moving average (EMA) from the 12-day EMA. A nine-day EMA of the MACD, called the "signal line", is then plotted on top of the MACD, functioning as a trigger for buy and sell signals.…

Weekly Australian Dollar overview

AUD/USD is showing signs of market exhaustion after a steady upwards momentum sustained from the beginning of this month. Presently trading at around 0.9380, it would seem fairly probable that this week will end on a well-defined pinbar after forming a three inside down bearish candlestick pattern on the daily charts.…

EUR/USD: Technical Analysis

This pair is finely balanced and there is evidence for both sides. At its current level of 1.3030 it is hitting some formidable resistance from Fibonacci lines, the 38.2% from the ’00 – ’09 bull market and the 61.8% from the recent fall from the August highs.

Today's highlights: U.S. Relevant News releases

U.S. Unemployment Claims, U.S. Producer Price Index and U.S. Current Account releases are due at 8:00AM EST.

Last week's jobless claims had dropped to 451K. Expected forecast is that they will rise to 463K. A continuation of the fall would have an impact if this index drops below 430K. On the other hand, traders could appreciate a decrease on inflation in a slightly positive previous release of PPI Index. Today's expectations are focused on a… Continue

Mexican Peso: steadily strong?

The Mexican Peso has been gathering strength since August 2010, top of the steady 10000 point consolidation range that has been taking place between 13.4000 and 12.4000 levels, from the beginning on the year, on daily charts.

A broader weekly view of the descending wedge would suggest we might be ready for a further run to the lows and pattern baseline at 12.1270, which if broken would lead to a test of the strong support line lying almost another 10000 points below, at… Continue

Will Australian Dollar finally break through parity?

Australian Dollar just pierced this week November 2009 high of 0.9404, advancing well above the 80% retracement mark on the last and deep weekly swing low.

This swing itself was a 76.4% retracement on previous move from early 2001 all-time lows at 0.4773 to july 2008 all-time highs at 0.9847, and ended at 0.6006 on october 2008.

Although this is a longer term view, the present monthly levels would suggest an attempt to test… Continue

AUD/USD Daily Analisis update

The Aussie is currently sitting right at the 0.9400 level as previously mentioned last nite. The pair broke through this level to a high of 0.9458, but failed to close above it off of the daily chart. Right around 5pm EST the pair retraced back below 0.9400 level which makes it vulnerable to know it's future path. We're anticipating a retracement near the 25% FIB level before resuming the upward trend.…

EUR/USD Consolidation levels

The EUR/USD broke through major resistance of 1.2900 earlier this morning as far as hourly charts is concern. Once it passed beyond this level, it has consolidated for the most part between 1.3000-1.3050 throughout the day.

Based on the daily chart, we can conclude the pair is currently in a consolidation channel between 1.2650-1.3033 which makes it difficult to trade not knowing if we can… Continue

Risk appetite breaking out all boundaries

Dollar weakness along with Asian renovated strength have set up a fireworks show in almost all currency pairs early this week. Gold breaking all time highs without an apparent fundamental reason adds to the picture a remembrance of similar events in 2008, a few weeks before the financial collapse that took place at about this time of the year.

Watch around the corner.

Forex4you Techncial Analysis 14/09/10

EUR/USD: Technical Analysis

This pair rose higher than expected yesterday. If it breaks above the key September 6th highs at 1.2919 then prices will probably rise even higher perhaps to the area of the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement of the 6th of August decline at 1.3040. If prices roll over before then they should begin a severe decline to 1.2720 initially and then probably substantially further to the 1.25s.…
