Your Forecast for 2010 Market Situation

2009-12-29T20:22:00.000-08:00

The year 2009 comes to an end. The overall market behavior was quite surprising to the majority of the Forex traders as the dollar traded in a very unpredictable manner — rising and falling and then again rising with a high level of volatility. Many analysts issue their forecasts regarding the next year, 2010. In the next few days I’ll also post my own forecast regarding the currencies, the interest rates, the gold and the oil, but today I’d like to see the expectations of the average Forex traders — you. After all, it’s the market participants who make all the market movements, so your opinion is much more important than any analyst’s forecast. The poll below will remain open only until January 15th to make it rather a forecast than a simple statement of facts.

Fundamental review of the week from 01.06. year to 05.06.2009

2009-12-29T20:19:00.000-08:00

The week begins with retail sales in Australia in April. The sector enjoyed solid sales in recent months as the combination of fiscal and monetary incentives "otduha 'consumer portfolios. Over the past months, signs of improving the overall consumer confidence also support retail. By continuing incentives (in the form of fiscal variations) during April, and total disappearance of the speculator market during this period we expect a new sound-percent increase in sales for the month. Later PMI index of European countries and the euro will show whether improvements in the Old Continent and may lead to new "bichi movement in favor of the euro. The main index of U.S. consumer spending for April will also be removed - the capacity and extend the recession reduced price to a point of deterioration and inflation pressure down during the next 12 months. But it is proven that this will show a little more slowly in the data, based on inflation, which has stabilized recently. Manufacturing index recovered from 28-year bottomed in 32.9 in 40.1 Dkemvri it for April, which was the lowest for the past 18 years, if the last 6 months were never happen.

On Tuesday the Swiss GDP may help to "rally" in the franc and the pair dollar.
Frank down to below 1.0400, if any improvement in the Swiss economy. Mortgage loans approved in the UK 11:30 will give us a clearer picture of England and if there is resurgence in the credit sector. Pounds are expected to be extremely volatile on its main krosove. Unemployment rate of the euro is expected to increase compared to the previous period, which may slow down upward movement of the euro against the dollar, but we assume that this will be only short-term correction in favor of the state currency. Unsold U.S. homes go 17:00 on Tuesday and will reveal whether there is a chance the U.S. construction sector to show any effect.

On Wednesday morning PMI index released by the European countries and we suggest that management's confidence in the sector has improved, and if so, to support the euro in the news. Then the UK also exports its PMI index, and decrease it may weaken pounds short. U.S. ISM index afternoon - the decline in services is no longer so sharp, even refund is quite sharp. Shows continued improvement for profits, but we see that the ISM is less important for obrashtaemostta inventory and probably more frustrating than production data.

Thursday, we expect highly volatile session for the main doubles as removal of the decisions of the Central Bank interest rates in the euro area, UK and Canada then. ECB will not surprise us, and levels are expected to remain unchanged to 1.00 percent, but there is little chance for reduction of 25 basis points to 0.75 percent and if this happens will quickly lead over euro 1.5000 against the dollar. Predvaritelniet studies show that the interest of England will also remain unchanged since the British economy shows signs of improvement and the government prefers to maintain a 0.5%. Canada to suggest that because the strong Canadian dollar against major opponents.

On Friday will be removed from the CPI and the Swiss can support Frank during the morning session. Later that day Zaetostta in non-agricultural sector for the month of May and the unemployment rate (9.2 percent expected) are expected to be exported. Like most recent statistics, wages seem to be prepared to show improvement. Weekly initial jobless claims to step back slightly from recent peaks and indicators of labor market improve. But levels continue to grow and the level of unemployment nearing 10 percent. We believe that these figures reflect more on the demand in the economy and will be too slow to improve it will continue to be key challenges for households and politicians.

GDP Tanks GBP!

2009-10-25T21:11:00.000-07:00

The British pound is taking a spanking this morning, down across the board to all major currencies as a result of its horrible GDP number. GDP dropped .4% vs. a .2% rise expected from analysts surveyed. This means that the BOE may need to extend quantitative easing to prevent the British economy from falling further into recession.
As a result, the AUD/GBP trade I’ve been in for the last few days is still hanging on by a thread and about to get stopped out. But I wanted to just show on the chart how picking out points of technical significance can help you place stops that will allow you to stay in trades longer.

Lets go through the Graph.

Does Your Forex Trading Plan Encourage You To Overtrade?

2009-10-25T21:10:00.000-07:00

Does your trading plan encourage you to over trade?
Recently I started a survey on my website asking traders to answer this question:
“What is holding you back from trading successfully?”
Currently the number one answer is “I make some money, and then I give it all back.”
Multiple factors contribute to this result however over trading is the most frequent concern struggling traders email me with. I have some thoughts to avoid over trading I hope you’ll find useful.
Consider Your Trading Plan
Over trading may be baked into your trading plan without you realizing it. I received an email from a concerned trader who struggled with taking too many trades although they were following their trading plan. I asked to look at their trading plan and found it was built around the 60 minute chart, the opening of each trading session, support and resistance levels plus the MACD indicator. How many opportunities do you think their trading plan generated on a daily or weekly basis?
I’m a big fan of slowing things down with longer time frames. Using a longer time frame automatically reduces the number of trades you will consider which reduces your trading plan’s built in propensity for over trading. You won’t be tempted to take a “valid signal” 10 times a day trading a daily chart. The vast majority of my trades are planned on the daily chart with the entry taken on a four hour chart.
Consider a Weekly Goal
In my trading plan I have a weekly goal of 50 to 100 points. This is a realistic goal for me to achieve and having the number written down reminds me that once I’ve made my weekly goal there is no reason to place it at risk. When the goal is achieved it is time to do anything other than trade. If you’re trading a lower time frame I think setting a weekly goal is even more critical because as we have discussed, shorter time frames offer more “trading opportunities” which place your profit at risk. I’ve had this weekly goal established for years and it works well against over trading.
Some traders may think a goal of 50 to 100 points a week is too low but keep in mind there are as many ways to configure a trading account as there are ways to trade it. With the right mix of leverage, lot size and risk capital you can do a lot with a goal of 400 points a month. Most important is to set your goal according to your personality; whatever you believe you can achieve and doesn’t stress you out in the process is best.
Do you really need to take that trade?
Before I open a trade I ask myself this question every time without fail. It seems obvious but so is lowering the landing gear before landing yet some pilots still manage to land with the gear up. Consider your emotions before you take a trade. Are you tired? Are you angry? Did you miss a good trade and now desperate to make some pips? Have you made your weekly or monthly goals? If you have met your goals you don’t need to trade, period. If you can honestly answer this question with a “yes” then pull the trigger but if not, don’t put your capital at risk.
Be accountable to somebody other than yourself.
Rob Booker pitched this idea in a presentation I watched online and I believe it is the strongest action you can take to eliminate any propensity you have to over trade. Whoever you report to should have a basic understanding of your trading plan and be able to question you on each trade in a constructive setting. This is a full disclosure exercise so find somebody you can trust.
I report to my Wife every Friday morning with a print out of our account statement. We go through every trade while I explain what system I used, why I took the trade, what mistakes I made and what I could do better next time. We also discuss what I should be doing during the upcoming week if goals are already exceeded.
If knowing you need to explain why you put hard earned profit at risk for an unnecessary trade at the end of the week can’t keep you from pulling the trigger, nothing will.

Will or will not ECB raise rate?

2009-10-25T21:09:00.000-07:00

Will or will not ECB raise rate?The answer is not as importnat as it seems…What a trader would like to know, is NOT if the ECB gang will or will not raise rate…
What a trader would like to know is:
which wines will they drinking during the meeting, following PAR ideas and comments.will there be any girls at the meeting for massage, because we know that these meeting can be “hard”, pardon the pun, and tense and temper can flywhat is on the menu for the meeting? Simple ham and egg sandwiches? Paella?Anyone knows why the BoE is not announcing this week ahead of the ECB? Is it for cricket reason?
Anyway, whatever they decide, be prepared!!!ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN!!!Wouldn’t it be conflicting if the ECB raised rates and at the same would be ready to intervent in the FOREX market?But then again a trader is a a simple mortal, so what do he know ….!

Want to succeed in trading? Do Not Quit!

2009-10-25T21:06:00.000-07:00

If you want to succeed in trading, don’t quit. Others will say quit. Screw them. If you want to be a trader, the best strategy for being a trader is: Don’t Quit.
Even if you lose your money. It’s the tuition you didn’t spend on a Masters, if you choose to learn the lessons. Get some kind of system down. Dont’ make it the best cause it’s not what will make you great. Its part of the equation. My final point is, if you want to be a trader, if you are a trader, then you don’t quit learning.
Trade at a level that you can learn at. Trade at the level where you see the market and can see what its telling you moment to moment. When you do this, you will be in the zone occasionally. You will know it.
I don’t agree that your rules have to be science, but you need to listen to your rules. Not doing so will show you the bad feelings of losing big. Perhaps you need to feel those feelings of losing big. What’s the message? You will lose big until you experience that and learn.

DAILY TRADING - THERE IS NO SPOON

2009-10-24T03:26:00.000-07:00

Some people are asking me about the secret of daily trading. The answer is there is no secret. It is there for everyone to see but the question is, can you accept what you see.Trading the daily chart requires patience, lots of it. That is what most of us lack. Patience. If you look at the longer timeframe charts, you will see that price will stop or hover around certain areas. That is your key point.

Always start or stop trading around these key point. The next indicator I use is CCI. CCI alone is a bit of a headache. So I smooth it out with MA. With the MA, I can see the direction of trade clearly. People say MA is a lagging indicator but I dont want to be early going to a party. I like to enter when the party already started. The last advice is, there is no such thing as holly grail. You just cannot win all the time.

The best that we can do is try to win as much as possible and lose a little as possible. In the long run, it would be profitable enough to stay trading. Otherwise you need to find another business to run.

What it takes to become a successful Forex Trader?

2009-10-24T03:18:00.000-07:00

Forex trading, or any trading for that matter, is an occupation that requires experience and the accumulation of proficiency not unlike any other highly skilled profession. Whether you are a leading executive at a major publically traded company, a professional golfer or trading from your kitchen table, there are 5 key ingredients that one must possess in order to become successful.

1. You must be Passionate about what you do.As Forex traders we all face one unique set of circumstances that does not exist in any other profession. We get rewarded for when we succeed and equally punished when we don’t! Could you image a corporate worker one quarter receiving a significant accomplishment bonus and the next quarter actually getting money taken from their paycheck for missing performance targets? Not on your life! We do as Forex traders and that is why passion for what you do will carry you through the tough times that are part of your trading business. Asked yourself why you trade currencies and would you still do it if Forex were not potentially lucrative? Your answers will be quite revealing. You’ve got to feel your passion for trading!

2. You have to Apply Yourself and work hard at it.I talk to so many people that enter into Forex trading with the aspiration of getting rich quick. Without putting the time and energy into really getting good at trading I see them jump from strategy to strategy looking for the goose that will lay the golden egg and eventually quitting while blaming everything else, except the true cause.I got news for you – you are the goose and your Forex education is the golden egg. The magic has always resided with the magician and not some strategy. Work hard at trading and the rewards will eventually come your way. Remember what Tiger Woods said, “Funny, the harder I work the luckier I get.” Apply yourself as a trader and it will be no accident when your account begins to blossom.

3. You must Focus to really get good at what you do.Now here is the hurdle most Forex traders struggle to get over. You have the passion and you are applying yourself to your trade, now focus and really get good at just at what you are doing. Be the expert to the experts at just that one thing. Become the master of a strategy or risk management methodologies. Really focus on getting good at it.Stop jumping around or getting pulled from the last “latest and greatest” into the next “latest and greatest” and focus on one aspect of Forex trading and know it inside out. Know it strengths and weakness. Set your sights on becoming expert on just one aspect of trading and watch it spill over in all other aspects for your currency trading. This is the time to fail forward fast, use every setback as a learning opportunity that will propel you 3-steps ahead!

4. You must Push Yourself beyond the point everyone else might have quite. In Forex Trading this is simple. Assume there is someone on the other side of your trade that is pushing themselves and sharpening their edge. To be successful you must you must do the same thing. Now is the time to examine your mental edge. Do you know the single most critical factor in any currency trade? It is you, the trader! Sharpening you mental edge is the most difficult aspect of trading, but also the most rewarding.Start with your Forex education and gain the self-awareness necessary to maximize your strengths and suppress your weaknesses. Any expert will tell you that trading is 80% mental. It’s time to sharpen your trading to the razor’s edge and you do this through Forex education. A constant and never ending process that will become the cornerstone of your Forex experience.

5. You must, without wavering, be Determined and Persist to your objective.You will fail. I can state that emphatically. However, you will not be defeated unless you allow your failures to control your trading. It is the old adage; failure is not falling of your horse, failure is refusing to get back on. Your success depends on your ability to dismiss the criticism, rejection, self-doubt and pressures associated with Forex trading.Defining what is a winning trade, losing trade and bad trade will go a long way into developing you as a successful trader. Without the determination and persistence in all aspects of your trading life, obstacle will definitely appear closer and larger than they actually are.

Take a moment and assess yourself and your trading. Do you have the key elements to succeed? Which areas are presents development opportunities? When conducting a self-evaluation it is critical to be totally upfront and honest with yourself. After all, you will only be dishonest with yourself. One of the most interesting observations you can make is that all key success factors are interwoven. One factor supports the other. This is why your Forex education is a continuous journey of forex strategy, money management and self-mastery. Set these factors as your Forex education goals and take your currency trading to new heights.Happy Trading!!

Intro To Forex Options

2009-09-28T06:23:00.000-07:00

Forex options trading can be a great alternative to trading in the spot fx market. It is often used to head physical currency positions. We have created a comprehensive guide to forex options in addition to the basic information listed below.
Types of Forex Options
1. Traditional American Option: It can be used at any point until the expiration date2. Traditional European Option: It can only be used at the point of expiration3. Forex Spot Option: SPOT options are very similar to traditional options. The main difference is that the forex trader will first give a scenario (UER/USD will break 1.4000 in 2 weeks). The trader pays a premium, and then receives cash if his scenario occurs. SPOT trading also converts the option to cash automatically if your trade is successful.
Determining an Options Price
An option premium is determined by several factors including:
1. Time Value: In general, the longer the time period of the option, the higher the price you have to pay as time value shows the uncertainty of market movements2. Interest Rate Differential: A change in the interest rates has an impact on the relationship between the strike price and the current market value.3. Volatility: High volatility increases the probability that the market price will hit the strike price in a certain timeframe. Usually, the more volatile the currency, the higher the premium will be.

Forex Trading - 3 Power Strategies

2009-09-28T06:21:00.000-07:00

3 Rules to Make serious earnings
If you want to catch the serious profit in forex dealing you need to trend watch forex trends which are worse term. here we are going to give you a 3 step simple method which if you use it correctly, will help you catch every superior forex trend and lead you to long-term term currency dealing success.
Most beginner traders don't bother trying to trend following forex lengthier term - instead they try forex scalping or day trading. These methods focus the trader on small moves and they hope to catch small profit however as most short term moves are random, this leads to equity eliminate.
The other alternatives are swing trading and long term forex trend following and this article is all about the latter method. If you look at any forex chart, you will see long-term term trends that last for months or years. These moves can and do yield serious profit - present we will outline a simple method to get them.
Breakouts
By far the best way of catching the serious moves is to use a forex dealing strategy based around breakouts. A breakout is simply a move on a forex chart where a new high or low is made and resistance or support is broken.
It's a fact that most leading moves start from new highs or lows.
While it might appear that you are not buying or selling at the greatest level, you are in terms of the odds of the trend continuing. Most forex traders make the mistake of waiting for the breakout to come back and get in at a better price but these traders never get on board. The grounds for this is if a breakout occurs, then you have a new strong trend and a pullback is not very likely to occur.
Most traders don't buy or sell breakouts and that's exactly why it's such a powerful method.
The only point to keep in mind is a support or resistance which is ruined, should be valid and that means at least 3 points in at least 2 different times frames. The more tests and the greater the spacing between the tests the more valid the level is.
Confirmation
Of course not every breakout keeps and some reverse, these are false and can cause losses. You therefore need to confirm each move. All you need to do to achieve this is to put a few momentum indicators in your forex trading system to confirm your dealing signal.
These indicators give you an estimation of the strength and velocity of price and there are many to choose from. We don't have time to discuss them here (simply look up our other articles) but two of the greatest are - the stochastic and Relative Strength Index RSI
Stops and Targets
Stop points are easy with breakouts - Simply behind the breakout point.
If you have a serious trend then you need to be careful you can milk it, so don't move your stop to soon and keep it outside of normal volatility. If it is a huge move, trailing stops should be held a long-term way back and the 40 day moving average is a good level to use.
You have to keep in mind that when the trend does eventually turn you are going to give some profit back. You don't know when the trend is going to end, so don't predict.
It's ok to give a serious back, as that's the nature of trading forex. Keep in mind if you got 50% of all leading trend you would be very rich. When you are long-term term trend following you have accept giving a bit back and taking dips in open equity as the trend develops - this is noise and does not affect the long term trend.
The above is a simple way to trend watch forex and catch the high odds moves that yield the serious profit. If you are learning forex dealing and want a simple method that is robust and will help you get every major move, then you should base your dealing on the above method.

Types Of Forex Order

2009-09-01T20:04:00.000-07:00

.. Sellers are ASKing for a high price.. Buyers are BIDding at a lower price.. Trading is an auction.. Slippage occurs with most Market Orders.. The difference between the ASK and the BIDprice is the Spread A Trader must understand what each order is and does and what part it plays in capturing profit. As a Trader on the FOREX you use three types of orders: a Market Order, a Limit Order, and a Stop Order. The two primary orders you should use for entering and exiting the market are a Limit Order and a Stop Order. Once you have placed your order to enter the market, there are two procedures to that your need to understand. These are: One-Cancels-the-Other (OCO) and Cancel-and-Replace. Properly executing your orders and understanding these procedures play a very big part in your profitability.Remember: all good carpenters carry a toolbox. The sharper his tools and the more skilled he is at using them, the more effective he is. The sharper you are as a trader the more effective and profitable you will become.The following explains in detail what each order does. You must clearly understand what each order does before you start to execute your orders.Market Orders: A Market Order is an order that is given to a broker to buy or sell the currency at whatever the market is trading for at that moment. It can be an entry order into the market or an exit order to get out of the market. Traders use Market Orders when they are ready to make a commitment to enter or exit the market. You must be very careful when using Market Orders in fast moving markets. In fast rallies or down reactions you can gain or lose many points to slippage before you receive your fill.Trading is an auction where there are buyers (bidders) and sellers (offerers). The bid is the "buy" and the "ask", or offer is the sell. Slippage is defined as: when a trade is executed between a buyer and seller and the resulting buy or sell transaction is different than the price you saw just prior to order execution. With Market Orders you will lose on average one to six pips, if not more, due to slippage. Market Orders are rarely filled at the exact price you are expecting. We Recommend caution when entering or exiting with a Market Order.Limit Orders: Limit Orders are orders given to a broker to buy or sell currency lots at a certain price or better. The term Limit means exactly what it says. You will buy at that exact limit price or better a large majority of the time. Limit Orders are used to enter and exit the market. They are generally used to acquire a specific price, avoiding slippage and unwanted order fills (execution price) whichcan happen with Market Orders.When you sell above the market, it is a Limit Order. When you buy below the market, it is a Limit Order. A limit order will be executed when the market trades through it. Seventy to ninety percent (70% to 90%) of the time, if the market is trading at your Limit Order it will be executed. The market must trade through you specified Limit Order number to guarantee a fill. The computer will notify you within seconds of your fill. You do not have to call your broker to see if you have been filled.Stop Orders: Stop Orders are orders placed to enter or exit the market at a desired specific price. When you buy above the market, it is a Stop Order. When you sell below the market, it is a Stop Order. Stop Orders turn into Market Orders when the market trades at that price. Stop Orders as well as Market Orders are subject to slippage, while Limit Orders are not.The majority of Stop Orders are used as protective Stop Loss Orders. It is the order you place with your entry order to insure an exit when the market goes against you. A good trader never trades without a protective Stop Loss Order.They are orders executed to get you out of the market when your trade has gone against you. Protective Stops are discussed separately as one of the 10 Keys to Successful Trading.One Cancels the Other (OCO): Whenever you enter the market, you must exit the market at some future time. An OCO order is a procedure and means one-cancels-the-other. Once you have entered the market, you should place a protective Stop Loss Order and have in mind a projected profit target. That projected profit target can be your Limit Order. If you simultaneously place both Limit and Stop Loss Orders when you enter the market, you can OCO them and walk away from your computer. What does that mean? At some future point in time either your Stop Order or Limit Order will be executed, automatically canceling your opposing order. If the trader is so sure about the trade, he can execute an OCO order and walk away from the trade. The computer will than manage the trade.Cancel/Replace Orders: A Cancel/Replace Order is a procedure and not an entry or exit order. By definition it is when the trader cancels an existing open order and replaces it replace it with a new order. A cancel/replace order is primarily a strategy of trading and is predominately used after one has taken a position in the market and wants to stay in the market locking in profit. For example: you buy Swiss at 1.410. Your protective Stop Loss Order is 1.390. The market moves in you direction as projected. You now want to reduce your potential loss, so you cancel your Stop Order at 1.390 and replace it to 1.410 where you got in. You are now in a trade with no risk. As the market moves further north in your direction, you now want to lock in more profit. You cancel your 1.410 Stop Loss Order and replace it with a new 1.440 Stop Loss Order. You now have locked in 30 Pips in profit. You are in an all-win, no-risk trade. You keep canceling and replacing your Stop until you are finally stopped out.

Currency Trading System

2009-09-01T20:03:00.000-07:00

The Forex or the Foreign Exchange market involves the trade of currencies. It's like the stock market where investors earn by selling shares of stock of a corporation at a price that's higher than what they originally paid for it. In the Forex, instead of stocks, currency or money is traded. It's making money from money, so to speak. And because of the internet, we can join in on this trade from the comforts of our home. But is it as easy as it sounds?Getting started is easy. Just like the many online opportunities out there, a computer and internet access are all we need to get started. If we go online and search for "Forex" or even the usual "work from home", there'll be millions of links about it so resources to get us started is always there. It's easy to set up because it is cheap too. There was a time when one had to shell out thousands of bucks to make an investment. Now, because of the internet, we can be an investor for only a fraction of what it originally costs. We can start off with a few hundred bucks and we're good to go.Staying on is challenging. Sure it's easy to start, and it's cheap but what makes it attractive also makes it its downfall. How much we earn or lose depends on how much we are willing to invest. If we can win big, we can lose big too. As with any work from home opportunity, there are risks. We earn here by making wise investments, we have to learn to anticipate the currency market. For example, if we're going to buy $1,000 Canadian today at US$1 to Canadian $1.05. We should, at least, have an educated foresight that later on the Canadian dollar value would go up so that we can sell it for a price that's more that what we paid for it, thus making us more money. And the value of that foresight rarely comes from lucky guesses; it's earned through observation and study. We are not market gurus and we can be turned-off by the fancy currency market jargon. So if we are not willing to do the work part of this "work from home" opportunity, it may not be worth it. Let's be real, it's not just watching the values go up and down and making bids and what not on this 24/7 market. There are also external circumstances to consider, like the political stability and economic status of the countries of the currencies that we'd be trading. We may get in this program easy, but can we stay in for the long run? If the answer's no, then we should pass on it.The Forex is a market that's been around for a long time. The internet has made it available to us as a work from home opportunity. It is easy and cheap to get started, but how we do when we're actually "in the field" is what makes it tricky. We can win big, and we can lose big too. The gist of the matter is we shouldn't just invest in something because we could, we should stop for a moment and think if we should.

Agian About Forex

2009-09-01T20:02:00.000-07:00

As a forex trader your main objective must be to become a profitable trader. In order to achieve this goal, it is vital that you learn how to use the widely known technical indicators. These are very useful parameters that will tell you with a high probability what the forex markets are more likely to do in their apparently disordered behavior as observed on the forex charts. Among these indicators you will find the MACD and RSI; but what's the meaning of these letters, you may be asking yourself. Well, here is the answer: Moving Average Convergence Divergence: MACD is a more detailed method of using moving averages to find trading signals from price charts. Developed by Gerald Appel, the MACD plots the difference between a 26-day exponential moving average and a 12-day exponential moving average. A 9-day moving average is generally used as a trigger line, meaning when the MACD crosses below this trigger it is a bearish signal (time to sell) and when it crosses above it, it's a bullish signal (time to buy).google_protectAndRun("render_ads.js::google_render_ad", google_handleError, google_render_ad);As with other studies, traders will look to MACD studies to provide early signals or divergences between market prices and a technical indicator. If the MACD turns positive and makes higher lows while prices are still tanking, this could be a strong buy signal. Conversely, if the MACD makes lower highs while prices are making new highs, this could be a strong bearish divergence and a sell signal. RSI stands for Relative Strength Index. The RSI measures the markets activity as to whether it is over bought or over sold. It gives a trader an indication as to which way the Market is moving. It is important to note, that this is a leading indicator and thus allows one to see what the market is about to do and then act accordingly. The higher the RSI number, the more over bought it is and conversely the lower the RSI number, the more over sold it is. It is a great leading indicator for the micro and macro reversals in the forex market. By using an RSI on the 1 minute chart set at a period of 18 and overlaid on the bottom of your charts tend to give the best entry signals. This can also be applied to the 5-minute chart as well. The two significant entry numbers are 25 and 75.
