I’ve been saying for a while now that I was shorting Global Indices based upon my analysis of the charts and using various vehicles (CFDs, Spread-Betting, DMA & Binaries) to access the market and build positions in line with my view.  I wrote about how at the start of the month I was stopped out [...]

Over the last couple of days I’ve had a few european centric Binary positions closing on me.  Whilst not necessarily taken with the French elections in mind they certainly played a part in their outcome.  One win and one loss.  Lets cover the losing position first: EURUSD After a wild start to 2012 where the [...]

Here’s an update on a Binary Option position that closed on Friday afternoon on the back of a week of good news for AUD short-sellers.  You can read the first part about the initial H&S set-up here.  The second part with an update on the first part of the trade being closed out is here. [...]

This week has seen the failure of a Binary No Touch Trade on the Dow Jones and the re-attack of it based on todays poor NFP numbers.  The chart will explain it all.  As always there’s useful debrief points to learn from. 1. The Dow Jones has been in a nice up-trend since early December [...]

A No Touch Barrier for 86.20 (at point 1) and a Touch barrier trade for 81.50 (at point 2)   The [...]

Traders, A quick shot of a losing position (I say position because there were several elements to the trade) that closed out on Cable last week. From its lows in the 2nd week of 2012 GBPUSD has ground its way north with all manner of false breakouts occurring on the weekly chart. At point 1 [...]

A quick post on a quick win Binary Option on Kiwi Dollar which hit target last Thursday…but I did not realise till I did my weekly analysis this weekend. Here’s the weekly chart:   As you can see on this weekly chart the KiwiDollar after a strong up trend reversed and fell back.  There were [...]
