Wednesday’s Trading

by Gav Leave a Comment

I did not trade on Wednesday.Partly because of busy with non trading stuffs, and can’t find any convincing setup. Generally, Dollar is in recovering mood now, and looks pretty strong ahead of Non Farm payroll. People are expecting a strong payroll report. Well, to me, the rule is simple. I am watching closely but not trading any Dollar pair at the moment, until NFP is released. (uhm..guess, what am I going to trade then?) 😀

I am thinking to get the book Millionaire Traders: How Everyday People Are Beating Wall Street at Its Own Game, if you have read it, please shoot me a comment.

Tuesday’s trading

by Gav Leave a Comment

I made two trades today. Long EUR/JPY which was later stopped out with -1R.  It was pretty choppy throughout the Asian session. Second trade was made during U.K session, Long GBP/USD.  It was a very slow and choppy trade. I left my stop loss order on and went to bed. I closed the position with +0.38 R around lunch hour of U.S session (2 am in Melbourne, Australia).

End the day with -0.62 R.

We have Aussie Interest rate statement released today. Most likely they are going to hold on with 6.5% at the moment.  General Election is coming soon, I am wondering what would the current government do with the economic rates and figures now. Interesting. :-p

Forex Brokers Evolution

by Gav Leave a Comment

I have been hearing some news about rising capital requirement for Forex brokers. Here we go. Well, how many small brokers will be eliminated by then? Well, in the non regulated market, this move is considered as an improvement to the retail Forex trading though.

From Fxstreet.com

NFA (National Futures Association) has received notice that the Commodity Futures Trading Commission has approved changes to NFA Requirements Section 11 and the Interpretive Notice entitled “Forex Transactions.” The amendments increase the minimum net capital requirement for Forex Dealer Members (FDMs) to $5,000,000. They also eliminate the concentration charge and replace it with restrictions on the types of firms with which an FDM may maintain assets and cover its exposure for purposes of CFTC Regulation 1.17. These changes will become effective on December 21, 2007.

Monday’s trading

by Gav Leave a Comment

I was not available to watch the market yesterday due to my busy day job. No trade was made. I missed the move of NZD/USD and EUR/JPY in the Asian afternoon. I do not incline to put on any day trade in Monday morning (Australian hours) as spreads are normally still in ‘holiday mood’, too wide to be stomached by day trader. Things will normally get back to normal when Japanese market is opened (that’s 10am in Melbourne, Australia).

Well, no trade, no R. Btw, my gut feeling tells me I will be living in the world where 1 AUD= 1 USD soon….uhm, time to plan for a vacation in Miami ? 😎

Chart of interest: AUD/USD 24-September-2007

by Gav Leave a Comment

Another strong week for Aussie dollar (Stronger than I’d expected!). We are back to the 1989 high again. Lovely.  Well, are we looking at the high at 1984 around 0.97 soon? uhm..never underestimate currency market, nothing is impossible. Anyway, I will still day trade in Long position at the moment, but I will be a little bit stricter now. I am watching 0.8830-5 area.

Let’s see.

Thursday, No trade

by Gav Leave a Comment

As mentioned in my twitter, I was busy with non trading matters and missed out all the profitable entries of AUD/USD, NZD/USD, AUD/JPY and EUR/JPY. It was supposed to be another multiple Rs-day, but well, sometimes, you can’t have it all in life.

Look at the Aussie dollar, we are back to 0.88 again. The currency trend is stronger and longer than I’d expected. Lovely.

I might not be available for trading again on Friday. I thought I might as well close the trading month now. I will do a monthly review over the weekend.
