December 27, 2014 Hello! I have been absent from my blog for quite some time due to my school-related obligations. Thank you to everyone who sent me PM’s on the site, asking questions and commenting and whatnot. I do apologize that occasionally I do delay my replies. But I have a few weeks off in […]
November 8, 2014 What broker do you use and what should I look for in one? I am currently using Boss Capital (see Boss Capital Review). I’ll start by saying that no broker is perfect. Some provide fast withdrawals yet have trading platform issues, such as a distinct lag that often doesn’t get you into […]
November 7, 2014 Q: How often do you recommend withdrawing money from brokers? I prefer to do so once a week when I’m actively trading. I don’t leave anything in a broker’s account during a period when I’m rarely trading (like now). Even if you don’t earn any profit that particular week, I do feel […]
October 4, 2014 Q: I know that overtrading is talked about a lot, but I have the issue of “undertrading,” or having the fear of actually getting into a trade. How do I overcome this? A: Not being able to pull the trigger is on the opposite side of the spectrum of the overtrading phenomenon. […]
September 8, 2014 Just as the post-(U.S.) Labor Day volume begets more movement in the market, it typically entails that I moderate the amount of time that I dedicate to trading, given I’m a still a university student and as anyone who has been through schooling knows, it can take up a lot of time. […]
September 1, 2014 Unfortunately, I’m doing this write-up a week later than I wanted to. But school often consumes a lot of my time, so naturally if I do any trading my write-ups will often be delayed until I find a spare 1-2 hours to go back and analyze the charts, take screenshots, and construct […]
September 1, 2014 As binary traders, especially for those of us who trade very short-term – e.g., 60-second options, 5-15 minute expiries – we often don’t really think about the broader scope of the market. When I do a trade analysis post, I’m almost always just providing my five-minute charts and a really up-close view […]
August 29, 2014 The EUR/USD had the pivot level in play in today’s trading. After a non-descript opening few hours, volume entered the market to the point where price took about a 25-pip leap up in about fifteen minutes, the most action seen all day. The market roughly settled around pivot. It didn’t offer perfect […]
August 28, 2014 I had a lot of time on my hands Thursday, as I basically had the entire day to myself free from interruption. So not only did I trade the GBP/JPY during the European session, but I also decided to switch gears and look at some stock trading. First I looked at Apple […]
August 28, 2014 I’ve been going with the GBP/JPY the past couple days given it simply seems a bit more amenable to trades than the EUR/USD based on first glance alone. The pound-yen has provided some nice up-and-down movement whereas the euro-dollar has mainly been trending and/or just not providing very many good set-ups as […]
