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 […]

Its been a quiet summer for me trading wise, but that’s starting to change.  I’ve been traveling overseas so it makes it hard to keep up to date with markets but it suits my longer term, low-maintenance, way to trade.  I’ve had three direct positions open recently.  Two of which have closed in the last few days, mostly due to Mario […]

Hello traders, After returning from a busy few days including a long and enjoyable evening at the London Trader’s Network Social event I was able to sit down this afternoon and take a look at the 6 trades I’d placed early on Tuesday and how they’d fared over the last 48 hours. Several people at […]

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 […]

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. […]

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 […]
