Good Morning DukascopyCommunity;

EUR/USD
The pair ended the week in its highs at 1.1919 in what was mostly a gloomy week for the majority of the period and came into life on Friday as Yellen and Draghi took the stage. The consolidation and ranging in the pair dominated most of the week as the market looked ahead to the speeches at the Jackson Hole Symposium. Both Draghi and Yellen spoke on the sidelines, however, Yellen clearly avoided touching the monetary policy and her speech was seen as a dampener. There was nothing new from Draghi as well but he mentioned about the economic recovery in Europe which was enough of a signal for the market to buy even more euros and helped it cross at the highest level since 2015. The week ahead is likely to observe the end of the month currency flow together with CPI data from Euro to be announced on Thursday. In addition, US is expected to announce its ADP employment change data on Wednesday, consumption data on Thursday and employment data on Friday which is expected to bring in a lot of volatility during the week.
USDJPY started the week with downward pressure as the North-Korean t…

Forex Traders Vs Cab Driver!

md1fk1 Posted 11 June in #Humour #Planning #Forex News #Misconceptions

8/44

Ranking

I thought to write this article with a general misconception about forex trading people have in humorous way while comparing unrelated businesses Cab driving and Financial Investments . It is reference to normal people who want to invest their money and want to hire traders to grow their account exponentially. Although it is directed towards investors but other traders can also take some hint from it.
Traders are entrepreneurs and they will need investors. And it is often said Entrepreneurs are from Mars and Investors are from Venus. But in case of trading I found it even worst and it can only sorted if both the parties are in right mindset about each other expectations and expectancy(returns) of traders systems.

All through time, people have basically acted and reacted the same way in the market as a result of: greed, fear, ignorance, and hope. That is why the numerical formations and patterns recur on a constant basis. – Jesse Livermore

I think the least understood of the above statement is about ignorance. Newbie Investors have almost zero knowledge in financial markets. Trading is specialized knowledge based profession. I believe experienced traders understand: My focus is o…

Portfolio Analysis for Non-farm Payrolls (nfp) & Jobless Rate

MaziarE Posted 22 Apr. in #Nfp #Return #Unemployment Rate #Non Farm Payrolls #USD Index #Forex News #Portfolio Analysis

6/65

Ranking

Introduction,
On the first Friday after the month ends, two important news release by Bureau of Labor Statistics. One is unemployment rate and the other one (the more or perhaps the most important one) is non-farm payrolls (NFP). NFP accounts for a majority of overall economic activity and show changes in the number of employed people during the previous month, excluding the farming industry. Unemployment rate is an important signal of overall economic health and it is Percentage of the total work force that is unemployed. In this article, I try to show the influence of these indicator on USD index return based on portfolio analysis.
Portfolio analysis,
portfolio analysis means that NFP & unemployment rate data are sorted into 10 portfolios from lowest to highest separately and USD index returns of each portfolio are examined for evidence of anomaly;. Portfolio analysis intuitively, clearly reflects the picture of how returns vary with the characteristic variable; however, with this method it is difficult to conduct multivariate tests and difficult to test the functional form. In the picture below, basket is NFP or unemployment rate and eggs are USD index return.

Good Morning All;
Global equities rose marginally last week, although many major markets dipped, with risk appetite hit by US President-Elect Donald Trump’s first press conference since the election, which provided little clarity around the US policy outlookUS retail sales were weaker than expected, despite continued robust consumer sentiment data
In the US, December’s headline retail sales rose 0.6% mom, marginally less than the 0.7% expected. December’s details are quite disappointing, with vehicles and parts contributing 0.51 ppts and gasoline stations adding 0.15 ppts. Outside of these components, only non-store retailers saw a noteworthy addition of just 0.14 ppts. The control group (excluding autos, gas and building materials) also disappointed at 0.2% mom against 0.4% expected, with the prior month revised down to 0.0% mom from 0.1%. This data appears at odds with the continued rise in consumer sentiment, but it still translates into a firm core group yoy rate of 3.4% despite disappointing November and December releases. January’s University of Michigan Index of Consumer Sentiment preliminary release showed little change, dipping very slightly to 98.1 from 98.2. The current…

Beginners Dream to Trading Forex

TRADE AND BECOME A MILLIONAIRE IN SHORT TIME- A BIGINNERS DREAM
It begins with a dream of an easy way out to making money, I mean lots of it. It was the same for me when I started trading forex. I thought I finally found a convenient way out of poverty. It is good to dream and dream big but dreams are always dreams. Some come true and very many do not.
When I started trading in 2011, I was damn broke as hell. After a few lessons on trading and demo account practice for a few weeks, I felt I was ripe enough to trade live. I invested 3000USD of my hard earned savings. I made my calculations and thought, I was on the verge of hitting it big. This feeling gave a very positive energy of life and I just found myself smiling all the time. (of course I will be rich soon). However, after just two weeks of live trading the scale fell off my eyes when my initial deposit of 3000 USD evaporated up to 90%.
But is it really possible for a traders (professional or amateur) to have only winning trades??This is the question on every beginners mind. I also erroneously thought one could have only all winning trades. This is practically impossible even in only one month of trading.
BUT HOW CAN ONE BE S…
