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 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 […]
August 27, 2014 The European session opened up with a decent amout of volatility on the GBP/JPY, with large wicks on the opening candles spanning over fifteen pips. The market first rose up to the daily pivot level of 172.264 although no trade set up in the way in which I approach the markets, given […]
August 25, 2014 Monday was one of those trading days where there’s a decent amount of movement, yet not much going in the way of actual trade set-ups. Pivot points weren’t a factor and it took a price level to manifest on its own from the price data to actually get something worth trading. On […]
