I’ve mentioned many times before that it’s worth reading Brian Lund’s blog on stocktwits. I always enjoy his honest down-to-earth approach to trading discussion.  You’ll find several of his pieces re-run here simply because they’re very good and pertinent to a trader regardless of their level of experience.  This is another great piece by Brian […]

Fellow trader, A few of you will have seen me presenting at the recent World Money Show London. I was on a panel discussion the theme of which was “The Times They Are A Changing” and was about discussing what changes the invited traders and investors had made in their approach over the last few years due […]

I recently ran a 2 hour seminar on how to trade longer-term positions using Binary Options. I performed it online and also in a class-room environment.  As part of the event I challenged the groups to use their newly found knowledge to create a trade plan and we’d trade it live with my money on […]

My last blog piece covered trades in the GBPUSD and USDCHF which were helped to successful conclusions by the raft of fundamental data and news items that were released last week.  You can read about thosetrades here: There was one last trade in CHFJPY which was also still running until early this afternoon when it […]

As some of you will know my early […]

I’ve mentioned before about John Boyd and his OODA loop in this blog and maybe it’s finally catching on.  The Harvard Business Review recently published a great article by Frank Partnoy about how speed is holding us back and how the OODA loop helps with our overall strategy. For those unaware the OODA loop stands […]

Hello Traders, I’ve had a very busy few weeks and thought Id update you on a few of the trades I’ve had play out in that time.  The first one is Gold.   Since the large Bearish Outside Bar in mid february price had gently meandered down towards the 1500 – 1600 dollar range. In […]

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 […]
