June 24, 2014 Due to the insipid early-morning activity on the EUR/USD, I began looking at five-minute charts of a few other currency pairs and eventually settled on observing the GBP/JPY, which appeared to be in the midst of providing a good trade set-up. So I scrapped the euro-dollar for the day and went with […]
The EUR/USD was in a downtrend for Monday morning. It made about a forty-pip down move, spanning three pivot levels. (Also, before I move on I should say that I don’t have any idea what that solid yellow line is doing on my chart. I deleted all my drawings and it wasn’t a Fibonacci retracement […]
As I stated in my last post, I am trading at Boss Capital at the moment. I do like how you can obtain an 85% payout for an in-the-money trade. That’s really as low as I prefer to go with binary trades in terms of payout percentages. Having a lower break-even percentage is nice. At […]
Interpreting signals and indicators is the heart, soul and life of a technical analyst and day trader. The signals are how we make our bread and butter. The thing is, the signals are cold and heartless. They do not wave a flag saying “hey, trade me! I’m the best!”. You have to be able to […]

One of the best short trades in the world is the “dead cat bounce.” It is called so because even though the market may bounce after a devastating fall, it isn’t going to moving significantly higher anytime soon. The bounce is dead and those that go long expecting the price to rally further are also […]
The Fibonacci Long Bar Method is a style of trading with Fibonacci Retracements that I have developed over the years. This method focuses on day and day to day trading utilizing retracement levels following a sharp single day rally or decline. This method is not suitable for everyday use but is quite handy at pinpointing […]
June 17, 2014 Previously, I enjoyed trading at 24option until they closed down for United States residents. Then I went with TradeRush for a long while after that. But now that TradeRush is also closed to U.S. customers, I’ve decided to go over to Boss Capital for the moment. It seems to be a popular […]
When I started my trading career in 2005, I was hired by a firm to trade their capital. Needless to say they didn’t just give me a few million and let me trade my heart out. The opposite occurred. I was allowed to trade only the absolute smallest position possible. Since I was trading the […]
