Go Technical or Be Based of Fundamentals ?

by Eko Prasetyo @ 7:01 AM

Forex Technical Analysis Reports


Technical analysis is a method of forecasting price movements by looking at purely market-generated data. Price data from a particular market is most commonly the type of information analyzed by a technician. The bottom line when utilizing any type of analytical method, technical or otherwise, is to stick to the basics, which are methodologies with a proven track record over a long period. After finding a trading system that works for you, the more esoteric fields of study can then be incorporated into your trading toolbox.

Almost every trader uses some form of technical analysis. Even the most reverent follower of market fundamentals is likely to glance at price charts before executing a trade. At their most basic level, these charts help traders determine ideal entry and exit points for a trade. They provide a visual representation of the historical price action of whatever is being studied. As such, traders can look at a chart and know if they are buying at a fair price (based on the price history of a particular market), selling at a cyclical top or perhaps throwing their capital into a choppy, sideways market. These are just a few market conditions that charts identify for a trader. Depending on their level of sophistication, charts can also help much more advanced studies of the markets.

The building blocks of any technical analysis system include support/resistance, price charts, volume charts, and technical indicators that include trend indicators, momentum indicators, volatility, cycle, etc.

Forex Fundamental Analysis Reports


Fundamental analysis refers to the study of the core underlying elements that influence the economy of a particular entity. Fundamental analysis, including forex fundamental analysis, is a method of study that attempts to predict price action and market trends by analyzing economic indicators, government policy and societal factors (to name just a few elements) within a business cycle framework.

Forex fundamental analysis can be used to forecast economic conditions very effectively. But forex fundamental analysis may not necessarily forecast exact market prices. Forecasting models in forex fundamental analysis are as numerous and varied as the traders and market buffs that create them. Two people can look at the exact same data and come up with two completely different conclusions about how the market will be influenced by it. Therefore is it important that before casting yourself into a particular mold regarding any aspect of market analysis, you study the fundamentals and see how they best fit your trading style and expectations.

For forex traders, the fundamentals are everything that makes a country tick. From interest rates and central bank policy to natural disasters, the fundamentals are a dynamic mix of distinct plans, erratic behaviors and unforeseen events. Therefore, it is best to get a handle on the most influential contributors to this diverse mix than it is to formulate a comprehensive list of all "The Forex Fundamentals."

Future Trend Trader (?)

by Eko Prasetyo @ 7:17 PM

Nothing gives me satisfaction more than able to predict the movement of the market. I have been having this feeling that I'm actually a budding trend trader..one last thing that I need is confidence, and less greed.

Or perhaps I will stop trading and become a trading guide? Who knows?

Lost in The Jungle of E-Gold

by Eko Prasetyo @ 6:10 PM

As I venture deeper into the jungle of internet e-gold investments, I have the feelings that I'm getting lost. First, there is e-gold, and then there is autosurf, and next HYIPs...all are confusing, all are 90% scams, and all are attacking each others.

That's why I am glad that the cyberculture has invented something called Web Forums, where people can venture on their own to see people's opinions on things and therefore able to judge what will be safe for them and their e-golds.

Me, I have chosen several highly praised autosurfs to invest to for several reasons: you invest, you surf a few times, you get rewarded. Or you can surf more, automatically and absolutely no mouse-clicks needed, to pile up credits so your site can be given some more exposures.

With more exposures, and more traffics coming to your site, the next step will be to go to a CPM advertising site and get their advertisments to be displayed on your site !!

Of course, I am still going to trade in Marketiva.

Forex trading, having cut my capital into half, is the most potential tool to reach financial freedoms.

The lost I got? That's a learning expense.

Moving

by Eko Prasetyo @ 8:37 AM

I am thinking about withdrawing some of my money from Marketiva and start investing on something else, perhaps HYIPS or others...I'm just losing some trading mood lately, due to missed signals and careless tradings..

Bleh..

But first I need to whip my ass harder first !!


USD goes Elliot

by Eko Prasetyo @ 9:06 AM

EUR/USD and GBP/USD seems to have been taking swinging routes after last night's hikes. It seems Bears and Bulls are playing thug-o-war.

Time to take swing profits.

Chart prep work

by Eko Prasetyo @ 10:38 AM

Someone sent me this:

Chart prep work:
1. One the 1 hour chart use a 20 SMA.
2. On the 15 Minute and the 5 minute charts use a 20 and a 200 SMA.

Rules:
When price is above the 20 SMA on the 1 hour chart, The prefered
trade is long. Go to the 5 minute or the 15 minute chart and set
your mind in "LONG" gear and ONLY look for long trades.
The opposite applies for going short.

You can use RSI(14) over/under 50 on the 1 hour and also the 5
minute or 15 minute to confirm you trade decision.

Well, try it if you wish...

Trading of November 4, 2005

by Eko Prasetyo @ 3:08 AM

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us



I know, i know, I should have made more than just US$ 43.52462 due to euro being dragged to bottomless pit last night...but I had a cold and needed to sleep earlier (becoming a forex trader in Indonesia means you have to sleel late), so just to ensure, I secured my profits on +20 pips each (except that +3 pips..I was on margin).

Hopefully signals from beritaforex@yahoo.com, starting monday, will give me +50 profits, each for EUR/USD and GBP/USD.

Contact beritaforex@yahoo.com for profittable signals for just US$ 50 per month !!

The Big Euro Dips - Trading Results of November 03, 2005

by Eko Prasetyo @ 3:47 AM

I managed to secure US$ 30,6 yesterday, helped by a good instinct and a good luck.

One of the closed positions was SHORT EUR/USD position I opened days ago. I guess my hunch on not closing earlier was right: It gives me US$ 13 in the end.

The results of the tradings are displayed below:

Look forward for another happy trading sessions !!

Happy Trading, Folks !!

by Eko Prasetyo @ 4:04 AM

It is shameful for me to say, but I have to admit it: I lost the courage to trade without signals yesterday, so the best that I could come up with was this US$ profit:

I am currently trying to justify a way of trading that is signal independent. Wish me luck !!
