It's a personalized system practiced and improved upon daily. Most traders use a combination of trend detection tools, news and market volatility.

Forex Analysis Tools

A wide array of tools is available. Among the most popular are MACD and Stochastic. The former uses a converging and diverging set of moving averages, the second is based on an ancient Greek philosophy of randomness.

I find that since so many others use these tools they can be really tricky, giving lots of false signals. It helps to have access to other analysis tools. For this I have chosen a set of tools I found at ForexEgg.com. The set includes two tools and is free to use. There is also a Virtual Trader set up so you can observe how they intend the tools to be used. They also provide news links, quotes and charts.

Trend Detection

Trend detection is perhaps the most important aspect of trading. Trading with the trend is the first cardinal rule of trading, isn't it? Trend lines, support and resistance and moving averages are among some of the more simple ways of detecting trend.

There are some more advanced methods, based on complex mathematical theories. Fibonacci's and linear regression are two. The P.A.T. (Price Analysis Tool) is based on linear regression. It plots a slope, measures buy and hold times and then projects that into the future with stop-loss guidance.

So, if market conditions are right, and the trend continues, the PAT can be used to target entry and exit points in the markets.

Market Volatility

The word volatility has so many uses in the financial world, it's almost useless. Here, I will use volatility to express market agitation - how worked up the market is.

We all know, from experiences learned and seen, that when a crowd is full of energy and worked up, irrational and sometimes unbelievable, this can happen. The same is true in financial markets, only worse because sometimes the financial health of the world swings in the balance.

Volatility can mean the amount of expected movement at a given time. So if I say that volatility is average, and the average movement per time slot is known, we can infer that the market should move within a certain range, around the midpoint, for the projected period. Sounds easier than it is? I know.

Muhammad Hafeez, founder of ForexEgg.com, has an innovative approach to measuring market volatility. He and his team have a designed a way to measure market volatility and express it in terms of temperature. The system is based on Brownian Motion and seeks to filter out the day-to-day random movements. Larger, trending movements are then highlighted and expressed in terms of Fahrenheit, Celsius and Kelvin. So, if the markets are hot they are volatile and vice/versa.

An investor may want to wait for a "cool" market before entering, while a trader will look for "hot" markets and the wild swings that come with it.

Forex Opportunities

In every market, bull or bear, there are always trading opportunities. Having a close eye on your tools, keeping abreast of current events and patience will pay off. Currently, with the European Union on the verge of collapse, many opportunities are out there.

]]> Trade The Trend Traders Ambushed http://www.theinfofile.com/finance/investing/trade-the-trend-traders-ambushed.html http://www.theinfofile.com/finance/investing/trade-the-trend-traders-ambushed.html Wed, 28 Jul 2010 13:51:21 +0100
What has scared bears like myself is that a certified higher low is now in place with confirmation on today's chart.

Like I talked about last week, the life cycle of the preceding downtrend channel has come to an end. We are now in no-man's land while a different channel is being created. We do not have an adequate amount of data yet to guess if we are moving into a sideways trading channel, or an uptrend channel.

While there is no apparent trend, then what must trade the trend traders do? Walk to the sidelines and the safety of cash.

At present we have been in cash two times over the previous couple of weeks and when we bet a new trend had been recognized making us move back in, it turns out we were head faked and ambushed. I do not know about you but I am tired of getting my butt kicked by the better equipped and armed Institutional traders.

Someday we might have a Traders Bill Of Rights where the theatre of war is made just, but for now, inequalities continue to exist among professional and amateur investors such as Institutional traders have access to all limit orders, they go to lunch with market makers and can make non-open market trades, they have access to a faster stock data feed and can use high frequency trading schemes against us, and they use the news to hold sway over public opinion about a stock or the economy as a whole.

Something that is also important is that on the daily chart of SPY, bulls have re-taken the 50 day MA however we still want verification of the break.

The mistake I made was jumping back in this stock market twice now and being incorrect both times. This means that I must raise the bar for what I view to be a new trend taking shape. That implies that I need to find more bullish or bearish indicators on the charts of stocks than I have in the past. Even a Bearish Head and Shoulders Top and a Burial Cross was not adequate to place my money on the short side. Not even a Bullish Downtrend Channel break was enough to bet my money on the long side. Each and every one of these technical indicators have meant nothing over the last couple of weeks. The only thing that these indicators have accomplished is to entice us trade the trend traders from off the sidelines and into a trap where we have been murdered by the thousands.



]]> The Meaning Of Famous Quotes On Gold http://www.theinfofile.com/finance/investing/the-meaning-of-famous-quotes-on-gold.html http://www.theinfofile.com/finance/investing/the-meaning-of-famous-quotes-on-gold.html Tue, 27 Jul 2010 20:02:57 +0100
Marguerite Gardiner, countess of Blessington, was a 19th century writer of journals who spent most of her adult life traveling across Europe and then settled as a host of great figures of her time. Two of these were Lord Byron (this later lead to her publishing "Conversations with Lord Byron") and Benjamin Disraeli, politician and writer. It is perhaps by witnessing these men at work that she was inspired to say that "Genius is the gold in the mine; talent is the miner who brings it out".

The following quote comes from another writer, this time of politically-inspired fiction (such as Gullivers Travels), Jonathan Swift: "It is in men, as in soils, where sometimes there is a vein of gold which the owner knows not." The great author had plenty of chances to study people, as he served a distinguished retired politician, had many friends, led a parish and counseled the head statesmen of Queen Annes reign. In this capacity he may have often been witness to that amazing moment in some peoples lives, when events make them act in such a way as to reveal certain features and strengths previously unknown even to himself.

"Learning Zen is a phenomenon of gold and dung. Before you understand it, its like gold; after you understand it, its like dung." - Zen saying. Zen is a branch of Chinese Buddhism, and it preaches, among other things, deconstructing the myth around the Buddhist religion and practice. The self-depreciation in this quote is surely aimed at obtaining a few smiles, but it also reminds us that spiritual or philosophical concepts are not inaccessible and that we should minimize the difference between pure ideatic processes and practice.

And last but by no means least, the thousands of years old words of Roman poet Ovid (Publius Ovidius Naso): "As the yellow gold is tried in fire, so the faith of friendship must be seen in adversity." His share of adversity was not small, being sent into exile by his king in the year 8 AD (imagine the times the Roman Empire was going through!) to the small port of Tomis (nowadays Constanta). We can only imagine what blows such an event dealt Ovid and how his friends responded. ]]> Investing With The Forex Broker http://www.theinfofile.com/finance/investing/investing-with-the-forex-broker.html http://www.theinfofile.com/finance/investing/investing-with-the-forex-broker.html Tue, 27 Jul 2010 19:26:55 +0100

I do not care much for Fox News, Glenn Beck, sort of Republicans that use politics in their technical analysis of gold.

I do not believe anybody needs to let political bias to sway their technical analysis. But when two political parties are in a struggle over the economy and it is having an effect on the stock market, you've got to include political parties in your technical analysis.

Democrats are trying their best to boost the economy before the November elections to win votes while Republicans are doing their best to block any policy that could boost the economy heading into the November elections.

This statement is not actually a political prejudice proclamation, it's just the way it is.

Republicans are currently jamming progress on a bill to boost the economy, retain jobs for teachers and cops, and help people buy their first home; another bill which would hold oil corporations accountable for any disasters they cause by removing the current $75 million liability cap; and most recently the extension of jobless benefits.

In the last 3 weeks, 3 million people have been kicked off unemployment: that's about 1.2 million people a week.

Major media groups recently reported that for every job opening at McDonald's there are 300 to 500 applications handed in. Many of the people applying for jobs at McDonald's possess graduate degrees.

I have myself contacted Republicans in the Senate that have stated that the reason behind why so many people are on unemployment is not because of the economy but because of their own slothfulness and reluctance to work at jobs like McDonald's. I would like them to guide by way of example, you understand, sincerely show us ordinary people how it's done. I have challenged those same Republicans that have made these distasteful statements, to leave their jobs in the Senate and to go get a job at McDonald's. I thought leading by example was the Republican method. I have even extended the challenge to Rush Limbaugh being that he has made the same accusations in opposition to the majority of sincere, hardworking Americans who are out of work right now. Not any Republican in the Senate, nor Rush Limbaugh has accepted my challenge. The screener on the Rush Limbaugh radio program hung up on me in fear that my challenge would reveal the hypocrisy in the Republican party.

For a second time, I'm not a Democrat. I merely see a group of wealthy power hungry elites criticizing the common folk and I wish for them to put up or shut up. If it is so simple to lower your standard of living and how much you make, to go get a job at McDonald's, why don't you go do it? Sure, that is what I thought you yacht riding, $500 for a hairdo, manicure, and back massage, pansies.

Unemployment in my city, Clovis California, just broke above 16%.

I see the Republicans forcing a super majority on pretty much any legislation that could play a role to an improving economy before the November elections.

I'm trying my best not to be prejudiced about this subject and to just report to you the facts.

You need to consider this battle between the two parties into account when you are talking about the chart of the SPDR S&P Homebuilders ETF (XHB) and the likelihood that we will go into a double dip recession because according to this chart, that's exactly where we are eventually headed.

Possibly the most disconcerting indicator I see on the daily chart of the SPDR S&P Homebuilders ETF (XHB) is the Burial Cross. The chart says that the Burial Cross will happened next week.

However everything I have just told you is more the long term trend. Short term, we have set up into a neat swing trade with a bounce off upper channel resistance. This next leg down move is just about picture perfect. Anybody shorting the stock market right now is going to have at least a week of a nice downward sell off in the markets.

In this video I look at the awesome swing trade trend channel on the SPDR S&P Homebuilders ETF (XHB) and why now is the moment to go short this market for a quick 5% to 10% profit.



]]> A Gold Medal For An Artist €- What Is The Meaning Of It ? http://www.theinfofile.com/finance/investing/a-gold-medal-for-an-artist-and-%23128%3B--what-is-the-meaning-of-it.html http://www.theinfofile.com/finance/investing/a-gold-medal-for-an-artist-and-%23128%3B--what-is-the-meaning-of-it.html Sun, 25 Jul 2010 23:02:43 +0100
Medals have always been one of the forms chosen by people to keep alive the memory of a place, an event or a fellow human being who makes an important contribution to society and its evolution. They come in various sizes and shapes, from large medallions to small plaques. The metals they are made of (gold, silver and bronze) are symbolic for the three Ages of Man in Greek Mythology: the Golden Age, when men lived among the gods, the Silver Age, with youth lasting a hundred years, and the Bronze Age, the time of heroes. In modern times though, we could sometimes get the strange feeling that the order has been reversed and gods live among men.

Gold medals have been awarded in the field of arts since the 18th century. They were a symbol of an award giving an outstanding student some financial freedom. The Royal Danish Academy was the first institution where this practice was born and, later on, it adopted in other competitive fields, such as writing and music. Following the pattern set in sport competitions, it's not only the gold medal which is awarded, but also the silver and bronze ones.

In order to recognize the artists' work, there are nowadays numerous organizations who grant awards and prizes. At some point, there were some attempts made to be put for arts and sports on an equal footing in what the competitions were concerned. Consequently, during the early years of the modern Olympic Games, from 1912-1948, art competitions were also present as part of the original idea of the Olympic Movement's founder, Pierre de Frdy, Baron de Coubertin. Architecture, literature, music, painting and sculpture were the five categories accepted and artists representing them were asked to enter the competition works of art inspired of sport. When the competition was over, the best of these artists received gold, silver and bronze medals. Unfortunately, it was all over in 1948, the reason invoked being that artists were considered to be professionals, whereas Olympic athletes were required to be amateurs.

Should we doubt that a gold medal has a different meaning for an artist than it has for an athlete? After all, it's a prize which rewards somebody's genius, talent and hard work. As human being is of such complexity, it takes both artists and athletes' achievements to celebrate it. The perfection and strength of the human body are highlighted by amazing athletes; while the sensitivity and beauty of the human spirit are celebrated by outstanding artists. These are extraordinary individuals and their medals should be just the same. While buying the purest of gold, the advice of the greatest professionals in the field should not be overlooked as well. In the end, it's not just the gold we buy, but also glory. ]]> Programming The FAP Turbo Is Simple http://www.theinfofile.com/finance/investing/programming-the-fap-turbo-is-simple.html http://www.theinfofile.com/finance/investing/programming-the-fap-turbo-is-simple.html Sun, 25 Jul 2010 22:46:15 +0100

The ladies and the fashion designers have chosen the white metal as the most fashionable one. Remember that ladies love platinum, but the later is more expensive. White gold has a similar look and it is half price.

Moreover, do not forget that ladies care about fashion and they always try to match their clothes with their jewelry. This metal may go both with a casual or an elegant outfit. It seems that the same metal is very lucky because every precious stone may be enchased in it and the jewelry may become a real piece of art. These masterpieces are designed especially for the women who want to shine and stand out through their delicacy.

It is a metal preferred by young ladies because they know it could be matched with any other accessories. Besides all these, the elegant metal may be worn, no matter of the moment of the day. A wide bracelet and an elegant ring will never be too much for the middle of the day. Moreover, its brightness will make wonders if you combine a straps dress with some more exotic, white gold little parures.

If the answer is still blur, another hint would be that women may wear it with everything. It goes with no matter what color for the outfit. In the case of black, it does wonders. It underlines the attire and it adds a drop of elegance. The same may be said about styles. It may go very well with a casual style and with a more elegant one. A pair of jeans and a T-shirt or the famous black dress may be perfect partners for it. Beyond style, it may go perfectly with some colors like gray and creamy, pink or bright red.

The answer must be clear by now. It is the white gold.It is true that India and Asia prefer the yellow gold, but only because this represents a financial investment. Gold bullion are in great demand. Banks always keep them in their deposits. But with white gold, things are different. There are so many opportunities to benefit from when this white metal is part of the discussion. Try to find them and enjoy the best part of them. ]]> The Past, Present And Future Of Gold http://www.theinfofile.com/finance/investing/the-past-present-and-future-of-gold.html http://www.theinfofile.com/finance/investing/the-past-present-and-future-of-gold.html Sun, 25 Jul 2010 20:31:42 +0100
The universal recognition of gold from ancient times was confirmed by the vestiges of gold jewelries and all sort of adornments attributed to great men of the past, from Byzantine emperors to Egyptian Pharaohs. Nevertheless, besides its aesthetic function, gold was regarded as an unrivaled treasure. Many people lost their lives in the exploration of the yellow metal, while nations started wars in their desire and greed to posses it.

Trialed in various forms of financial collapses (WW I and II, 1930s Great Depression, present mortgage crisis), the yellow metal has proven its solidity and has managed to outperform any deficits, either inflation or deflation. States, corporations, companies and other businesses, as well as natural persons found their safe haven in the glittering metal, the most precious friend in times of need; hence, gold may well be considered the deep-rooted precious metal of monetary refuge.

Though there are many ways to invest in gold, direct ownership of gold bullion seems to be the most secure method. Physical possession of gold bullion can bring one peace of mind and solvency. The value of gold bullion resides only in the metal's purity and mass. Professionals can make the gold market transparent for you to decide your own purchasing needs.

All told, buying gold bullion as safe haven or investment is not a matter of doubt any more. This is the solution for present recession times and any future downturns! Experts can make the gold market free and transparent for your purchasing needs. ]]> If You Want Your Life To Be Less Hectic You Need The Forex Robot http://www.theinfofile.com/finance/investing/if-you-want-your-life-to-be-less-hectic-you-need-the-forex-robot.html http://www.theinfofile.com/finance/investing/if-you-want-your-life-to-be-less-hectic-you-need-the-forex-robot.html Sun, 25 Jul 2010 20:05:06 +0100
