by vahn on Mar.08, 2010, under Forex, Stock & Options, Trading
Forex Trade After down about 2 month without rest, it seem EUR/USD on consolidation right now. From the movement pattern, there is more probability to be bullish for a while, even i think not to much. Honestly, i don’t like this situation, because i have to play fast on this non trending pair. There are not too much important economic data will be realeased this week, except Unemployement Claims on Thursday & Retail Sales on Friday. Stock Market Trade Stock Market continue to rebound into it’s previous high on 1148. S&P 500 index gapped up and closed higher on Friday following a favorable jobless report released earlier on friday. (continue reading…) |
Crazy Day of Greece
by vahn on Feb.10, 2010, under Stock & Options, Trading
Crazy Day. Yesterday was really really crazy. Currency surge unexpectedly immediately after the news of the debt crisis in Greece. I suffer some losses yesterday on EUR/USD Trade. This is the use of stop loss in our software platform. It’s very important to limit our losses. There is a quote said “Keep your limit small, and let’s the profit grow”. Yesterday, EUR/USD move 140 pips in just 25 minutes. Really sensational movement. Usually EUR/USD need 1 day to move 140 pips. That’s why i say it’s crazy |

Dollar Soar, Stock back in trading range
by vahn on Feb.04, 2010, under Forex, Stock & Options, Trading
Forex Trade Dollar soar again yesterday. Luckly I still have short position on EUR/USD for long term. I still make a good profit yesteday, and I already covered some buy position today. It’s seem sentiment EUR/USD back to bearish mode. Some event & data I noticed to be influence the EUR/USD movement today are : Minimum Bid Rate (EUR), ECB Press Conference (EUR), Unemployment Claims (USD) and FOMC Member Hoenig Speaks (USD). We have a support from last low @1.853 on EUR/USD. Can this support hold the downtrend wave of EUR/USD. I still prefer my last week view. Sell on any rebound on EUR/USD |
Downside Movement?
by vahn on Feb.02, 2010, under Stock & Options, Trading
US Stock Market Trade After about 2 weeks decline, finally S&P 500 closed up yesterday. We enter February with a good start. On 2010, S&P 500 started from 1115.10 and the January close was 1073.83. So there was a 41.27-point decline. I still sense some downside movement on the market. But i’m not sure what will happen in the next few days. Let’s see what happen on the chart. I checked my intraday chart. I’ve found a pattern like this. It’s very interesting to see what happen today. If market down again today, it’s likely the market will continue to go down. If it can breakout the resistance line, the story will be totally different. |
