The Bubble Pop Binary Options System

Every once in a while when perusing the internet for scams, sharks and shady dealings I come across something that is actually of value. Usually my first impressions turn out to be wrong but sometimes even I can be a little to harsh of a critic. The Bubble Pop System is one of those with […]

Raff Regression Channel For Trend Confirmation

Mar. 18, 2014

The Raff Regression channel, created by Gilbert Raff, is not a popular indicator. Chances are you have never heard of it.

A trending morning for the EURUSD which provided a couple opportunities I liked. The first came in the London session prior the US open. Usually I use a 1-minute chart, but a quick look at the 5-minute chart convinced me I should use it today, as the entry points were a bit cleaner. On the […]

How to Use Fibonacci Arcs

Mar. 12, 2014
