Binary Options Trading for January 16, 2014 As I’ve mentioned to some extent in recent posts, one of the best things you can do to help your trading is to focus on a specific asset. Choose a specific asset, a particular charting timeframe, a time during the day to trade it, and a certain trade […]
I love it when fellow traders and aspiring traders ask me questions. It’s always nice to receive feedback on my blog material and to hear what others are most curious about or need clarification on with regard to trading. I’ve received a decent amount of private messages here on the website lately, so thank you […]
In this post I’d like to talk about some forex trades I made on the GBP/JPY in 2013 for those of you interested in further examples of how I approach spot forex trading. The GBP/JPY is well known as a volatile pair. There is a lot of movement of all timeframes, which I experienced when […]
Here is a list of essential things that I feel a trader needs to have in order to become successful. 1. Stop overtrading!

I wanted to address something I get asked probably the most often, which I can generally summarize as “How do I become good at trading in a very short period of time?” The truth is that the very best traders (and investors) are those that have put in the most time to become successful at […]
Those familiar with my blog here know that I tend to pretty much always stick with an overarching trading strategy centered around support and resistance levels. For binaries, that continues to be true. I have tried breakout strategies in the past for binary options, but I’m simply not very good at it to be perfectly […]
USDCAD: heading for a Bearish Reversal into 2014 2013 saw the USDCAD currency pair soaring over 900 pips. Will bulls continue charging into 2014? Maybe not, as we think there is a good chance this pair is heading for a bearish reversal. The chart below paints the USDCAD MT4 daily chart, using Ichimoku analysis, with […]
