8.30 am NY Time CA GDP Forecast 0,2%  Previous 0,1%

DEVIATION : 0,3%  ( BUY CAD 0,5% /  SELL CAD - 0,1% )

ADX, Average Directional Movement, what is it?


ADX, AVERAGE DIRECTIONAL MOVEMENT



ADX, HOW TO IDENTIFY THE TREND

ADX, Average Directional Movement, with - DI ( Minus 

Directional Indicator ) and  + DI ( Plus Directional Indicator ), are a 

group of leading indicators that form a real trading system developed by Welles Wilder.


Initially, the indicator was created by Wilder specifically for commodities on a daily basis but then you realized that you can just as easily apply to the analysis of the equity instruments and, with the necessary adjustments, including trading and index futures.

The ADX measures the strength of the trend but do not provide guidance on its direction. The + DI and       - DI  complete function of ADX also defining the direction of the trend. Used together, the three indicators we can determine both the direction of the trend that its strength.

The construction is based on of ADX,  + DM (plus directional moviment) and the  -DM (minus directional moviment) determined, according to Wilder, from the difference between two consecutive minima with the difference of the two respective maximum values.

POSITIVE TREND  =     + DI > - DI

NEGATIVE TREND =    - DI > + DI

 The intersection of these last two indicators is then combined with the value of ADX to obtain a complete system for trading. The fact that Wilder has designed the indicator for the trading of commodities and currencies does not mean it can not also be applied to the actions, of course we're going to choose those actions that show a relatively high volatility, because of poorly volatile stocks can often generate generate false signals or not at all. 

The ADX by its nature can also be used to help decide whether to apply a strategy or a trend following strategy is  no trend following.

According to Wilder is a title to be considered in trend when the ADX indicator exceeds the value of 25, while we in the absence of trend, when the indicator is below the value of 20. Remains a zone of neutrality, that between 20 and 25.



ADX is Black

+ DI is Green

- DI is Red

ADX below the value of 20.

Positive trend = + DI > - DI

A simple operating method devised by Wilder provides for the entry long when the + DI crosses upwards the ADX-DI with greater than 20 (25 the value of the value used by Wilder, taking into account that was applied on the U.S. market). The entry short, conversely, is when the + DI crosses downwards-DI with ADX greater than the value 20. If the ADX indicator is not above the threshold of 20 does not open position.

UK Prelim GDP

UK Prelim GDP


Prelim GDP q/q, or better known as the first of the quarterly GDP releases, is going to be the focus for today. This is for the period of the fourth quarter of 2012 (Q4 2012) Here is the forecast:
4:30am (NY Time) UK Prelim GDP q/q Forecast -0.2% Previous 0.9%
DEVIATION: 0.3% (BUY GBP 0.1% / SELL GBP -0.5%)
Definition
Prelim GDP q/q from UK, is defined as “the market value of all final goods and services produced within a country in a given period of time. It is also considered the sum of value added at every stage of production of all final goods and services produced within a country in a given period of time.” GDP is the basically direct measurement of the economy, and a stronger GDP means that the central bank will more likely raise interest rate as better economy usually brings higher inflationary pressure…

Since this is the first release of the 4th quarterly GDP for 2012 (Q4 2012), we´re likely to get a huge reaction if we get a surprise today, as most first releases are what the market looks to. Considering the recent negative trend in the Retail Sales figures, we may get an downside surprise release today.

AU CPI



 January 22, 2013 

AU CPI


Our plan to trade today’s AU CPI release out of Australia will be to look for opportunities for entry if we get a surprise in this release, here is the current forecast:
7:30pm AU CPI q/q Forecast 0.5% Previous 1.4%
DEVIATION: 0.3% (BUY AUD 0.8% / SELL AUD 0.2%)
Definition
“The Consumer Price Index (CPI) measures the rate of inflation (i.e., the rate of price changes) experienced by consumers when purchasing goods and services. A rising trend has a positive effect on the nation’s currency. The primary objective of the central bank is to achieve price stability; when inflation rises above an annualized rate of approximately 2%, they will respond by raising interest rates to bring prices down. Higher interest rates attract foreign investment, thus increasing demand for the nation’s currency. CPI is one of the most closely watched indicators and will usually have a high impact upon release.”
The Trade Plan
Here is the plan, if we get a better than expected CPI data, we should see an instant appreciation of AUD by at least of 40 pips within the hour, but if we get a worse than expected number, AUD should drop and we should expect the market to consolidate. Of course, the deviation that I am looking for must be at least 0.3%, or I will skip the after news trade… On a minimum release of 0.8%, I would buy AUD/USD after a decent retracement. If we get a 0.2% or worse release, I’d SELL AUD/USD immediately, I would consider a spike trade on a better than expected release as recent lack of direction in the AUD are screaming for a strong catalyst.

I will tell you more about my book later, but first, let me tell you a story to make my point even more clear. The other day I took my wife to a B&B to an island not too far from where I live. We drove about 30 min to get to the place It was a beautiful day the sun was up. The ocean was calm and nice, no wind you could glide on the surface if you wanted to. Man…this island was beautiful, flowers blooming everywhere in February. Keep reading we will get to the strawberries! So I get to this B&B, my wife is like gleaming can’t wait to see what’s in the house, the house was set up in a old colonial style at least that’s what my wife told me. So before I get in the house I go around, cause there is a beautiful garden and I see that there is a basement floor which is completely empty. By the way what I am telling you has a lot to do with Forex trading, I have a purpose to my madness, so bear with me. But before I go further let me tell you what happened. I go and ask the host about the basement floor… you know why they are not using it, looks decent to me. So she goes ahead and tells me at least a dozen hurricane stories and how last time there was a hurricane, the water stood up eight feet strong on the street and that floor was always stuck under water and had to be completely wiped out and cleaned and how they decided not to use it any more. See my friend, Forex trading can be like that beautiful island and a gorgeous paradise… The problem is that storms and hurricanes are a normal events in tropical paradise. The reason I wrote this book is so you, don’t end up being on the basement of Forex and get flushed every time there is a hurricane. If you are newbie or even a somewhat experienced trader, but live in the basement of Forex, you will get wiped out every single time. I promise you! The basement of Forex is full with indicator worship going on, in all kinds of indicator temples. Of course your broker is leading the main quire… fast to give you the free education and all of the stochastic, bands and other ropes so you can hang yourself fast. See, in most cases your broker is on the opposite side of your trades unless he is an ECN broker(tip there is no guarantees the ECN brokers are not doing it, since they have all the info of your trades and stops.) So, basically they have to hedge your trades, because they are not a price maker, but continually bidding for better quotes from the banks. So you, the innocent retail trader enter the trade and the slaughter begins. I am sick and tired of seeing innocent hard working people, like you get slaughtered every day by the broker. I wrote this book for you, so it doesn’t happen again. I have done all the hard work for you, and put a system that will give you a step by step guidance for success with Forex. You are just a few keyboard clicks away from getting your eyes open to the Forex reality and trading like the pros. Take a click of faith and jump the gap. See you on the other side!

US Existing Home Sales



January 22, 2013

US Existing Home Sales


US Existing Home Sales is expected to remain unchanged from the previous month. Here’s the forecast:
10:00am Existing Home Sales Forecast 5.10M Previous 5.04M
DEVIATION: 0.4M / 400K (BUY USD 5.50M / SELL USD 4.70M)
Definition:“Measures the annualized number of existing residential buildings that were sold during the previous month. A rising trend has a positive effect on the nation’s currency because large purchases tend to be made by consumers that are optimistic and confident in their financial position. The sale of a home also triggers commissions for real estate agents, and often home owners will purchase goods such as appliances and furniture shortly after purchasing a home. Traders watch this report closely as it’s the month’s first demand-side housing indicator to be released.”
The Trade PlanBecause the Housing sector is one of the most foundamental components of the U.S. economy, this release will certainly cause some volatility in the market, especially if our tradable figures (+/- 400K) were hit. With the focus of world on the status of U.S. housing sector, this release may bring about a strong sentiment of risk appetite/aversion if our BUY/SELL trigger is hit…
If our buy tradable deviation is hit, or 5.50M figure is released, we should look to BUY USD after the release. If our sell tradable deviation is hit, or 4.70M figure is released, we should look to SELL USD.

New Trader, Rich Trader: How to Make Money in the Stock Market - Steve Burns - EUR 16,78
1607963639


I love the structure of this book: Steve Burns points out huge differences between winners and losers in every area of the market. Each chapter takes up a pair of opposites, such as "New Traders try to prove they are right; Rich traders admit when they are wrong." Dozens of such pairs offer a psychological mirror to serious readers. -Alexander Elder www.elder.com Here is a work that puts the reader in the mind of a fledging trader who makes all the mistakes then learns from them. Told in an instructive and entertaining narrative, the author takes the reader through the trading concepts with a clarity and ease of understanding. A must read for beginning and intermediate level traders. -Dr. Chris Kacher, co-founder of www.SelfishInvesting.com and co-author of "How We Made 18,000% in the Stock Market" You have done a truly tremendous job with this book! A breezy read with essential trading advice. I think this book could become a trading classic! So many great rules are offered in this book, but I think my favorite might be Chapter 8's. It is SO true! Just printing out the title of each chapter and putting it on your desk would greatly benefit every trader I know. Steve, you've done a great job! -"Darrin Donnelly, DarvasTrader.com". Steve Burns has done a superb job with his new book "New Trader, Rich Trader"! This is a must read for all levels of traders. Golden nuggets include important concepts like "I always put capital preservation before capital appreciation." Steve tackles psychology, risk control, and what it takes to succeed in this business where so many fail. As Steve says "most new traders learn the hard way by losing money...", don't be one of them, do yourself a favor and buy this book, because not only is it a great investment, but the concepts in this book will save you plenty! -Bennett McDowell, Founder, TradersCoach.com® Author: "A Trader's Money Management System: How to Ensure Profit and Avoid the Risk of Ruin" Steve Burns describes three of the most critical aspects of trading with a "dialogue-style' book between a novice trader and an experienced successful trader. Psychology - making sure your mindset is correct and in the game with a solid, realistic, and objective plan. Risk Management - the key to it all and ones ability to understand and manage all aspects of risk control. Methodology - making sure you fit a trading plan to your own unique style while understanding what prior successful traders did as well. The teacher/student lessons discussed should be of value to all traders. -John Boik, author of "How Legendary Traders Made Millions" and "Monster Stocks" Steve has crafted an easy-to-read tutorial on avoiding the most common mistakes made by new traders. Save yourself years of heartache and buy this book and do your homework. New Trader, Rich Trader should be mandatory reading for the novice investor. -Kenneth Lee, author of "Trouncing the Dow"

New Trader, Rich Trader is an impressive work on the vast array of trading literature available in the world. The book is full of information that every beginning and intermediate trader can and should use to better their trading results. Trading can be one of the most rewarding and nerve racking things anyone can do. I've made and lost tons of money in the market, I've had the hair pulling experiences of watching profits turn into losses, and the exciting experience of coming back from those losses, and making massive profits. I've shorted BP, and I've gone long stocks that have jumped up hugely, and I've had the reverse happen as well.

When I started I watched half my money vanish in the matter of a month or so. With this book, I'm quite certain that that wouldn't have been the case. Steve Burns is showing himself to become part of the ranks of other great writers of the market , like Michael Covel and Dr. Alexander Elders. This book has simple rules and instructions, basic things that aren't so basic that anyone who follows them will see better results, and get to skip that horrible and painful couple of years of suffering losses.

I highly recommend it.

AUD Employment Change


January 16, 2013 

AUD Employment Change

Australia AUD Employment Change is similar to U.S. NFP (Nonfarm Payroll) and Canada Employment Change, this is an economic indicator for the Employment Changes in Australia, here´s the forecast:
7:30pm (NY Time) AUD Employment Change
Forecast 5.0K Previous 13.9K
AU Unemployment Rate
Forecast 5.4% Previous 5.2%
DEVIATION: 25K (BUY AUD @ +30K / SELL AUD @ -20K)
DEFINITION“AUD Employment Change measures the change in number of employed people during the previous month. A rising trend has a positive effect on the nation´s currency. Job creation is an important indicator of economic health because consumer spending, which is highly correlated with labor conditions, makes up a large portion of GDP.”
The Trade PlanThe deviation that we are looking for is at least of 25K. Historically a 25K~30K of difference has produced about 40~50 pips of movement in the direction of the difference about 75% of the time. Expect to see the effect of this news to last minimum 45 minutes to 2 hours; typical news effect should last under 2 hours. One other important news to pay attention to is the Unemployment Rate, which is expected to be tick up at 5.3%. If we don´t get a conflict with the Employment Change, then we will proceed with the trading plan.
 If we get a +25K of release, our bias will be to BUY AUD against other currencies; if we get a -25K of release, our bias will be to SELL AUD against stronger currencies. 
Recommended Pairs : AUDUSD, AUDCAD.

1481830511


You will not find this education at you brokers how to section. Most likely you will not find this information anywhere on this book section on any other book store. I have paid thousands of dollars on exclusive groups and paid forums to collect the information presented in this book. As you can imagine these are the highly guarded secrets of the elite of the FOREX traders, no one gives their living away, unless you pay them a price worth their living. However I have decided to make this information for ridiculously low price, because I am fed up with the brokers and the big banks taking advantage of the regular retail trader. Let me ask you a question? When was the last time you make money with FOREX? Even further more how much money you are willing to lose, until you give up? How long you will continue to give your hard earned money to the broker? Just like you I started 5 years ago with high hopes of quitting my job and leaving the live I deserve with FOREX. My hopes and aspirations were quickly crashed and my dreams went to the dump. First I lost 1000, then 5000, 10k , how much longer I could continue like that, how much longer I could endure the ridicule the jokes of my family and the frown on the face of my wife. It was painful, sitting all day in front of the computer, until you can't see any longer and everything including the platform and your mind become blurry. I know the pain I have been there. This continued for year, until one morning I was ready to quit, I was going to give it a last try and throw that FOREX staff in the garbage, out the window. I stumbled on a rear tread, which since then has been banned, by the broker that was holding the forum. Luckily the tread continued under the broker’s radar for while, and gathered a bunch of comments an support. Finally the tread from the trader X was discontinued. I was in dis pare, that was the only hope and light, I have seen for a long time. I was applying the advice from the trade and things were starting to work for me. Fortunately I was able to PM the trader and begged him to agree on a 20 min conversation on the phone. Trader X was not a guru, not your regular internet promoter mojo. He was quietly raking in thousands of dollars a month for years, he was not excited about the next trade, his heart beat was not raising before he pooled the trigger. See, he has been doing this trading staff for so long it has become a boring procedure, rather a morning an afternoon chore, something like putting the garbage out on garbage day. He explained that he learned from the MASTER, I did not proceed to ask him who was the MASTER, since I mainly was concerned with him teaching him every little bit of what he knew about trading. He didn't not agree to spend time teaching me on our first conversation, regardless of how much I offered to pay him. See, for him money was not a issue. Finally on my third approach he agreed to show me what the MASTER had thought him many years ago. What is comprised in the pages of this book will be worth pure gold to you. This book is down to the ground no no sense, real trading knowledge. It gives step by step instructions with real trade examples. This book is not your regular hog wash advice that you will find from your broker and the other magic bullets and seven step series that you see on this site. This book teaches you how to trade like the pros. Shows you how the big banks and foreign nationals and institution trade. The book opens your eyes to how to piggy back on the big institutional traders and win. Ninety Five percent of the people that trade the Forex market lose money and give up. The market is continually replaced by fresh blood like yourself. Don't become part of the statistics, read this book and get a map to success in FOREX. You can make a success in FOREX if you know what you are doing. Yes you can make a living with FOREX and quit your job. You can achieve your dreams. Buy this book and find out How?

Ever felt like knocking your boss the eff out? Even
if you're your own boss?
I have.
I remember the day I decided to punch my boss in
the face. One of the best decisions I ever made by
far.
It was glorious.
A "V" day of sorts.
I just walked in his office, looked him straight in the
eyes, and did a spinning back fist.
Yeah, that's right ... a spinning back fist. Bruce Lee
style, baby.
I missed of course. And fell. But nevertheless ... my
point had been made.
I picked myself back up off the floor, slotted back to
my cubic-hell, and resumed my daily torchores like a
good little drone.
And then I woke up.
Literally. Like ... in a bed. I was just a stupid dream.
"Man", I thought. "If I can't even punch my boss the
right way in my dreams, how the heck am I ever
gonna do it in real life?"
So I decided to do what every sensible human being
does in his mid-thirties ... give up on my dreams.
Luckily for me I had two dreams. One was to punch
my boss in the face. The other was to quit my job and
get filthy rich doing stuff that made me happy.
Swing-and-a-miss on the first dream (pun intended).

Home run on the second one.

Like ... grand slam home run.
I wanna tell you both how I did it and how you can be
one of my "RBI"s.
I've done all the hard work for you. All you have to do
is quit your job and come on home.
Here's my point ...
You can have and do whatever the heck you want. You
can, to a certain degree, create your own reality.
But it's not easy.
Which is why I've decided to create your reality for you.
Wanna see it? Step into it even?
You would if you knew what was on the other side. All
ya gotta do is punch a few buttons and get this book.
But you're going to have to take a click of faith.

UK CPI


January 15, 2013

UK CPI

We´ll be trading the UK Consumer Price Index (CPI) release at 4:30am NY Time today. We´ll be looking at the yearly release figure and the market could react with lots of volatility as CPI is the basic measurement of Inflation, therefore expect to see more exaggerated moves if we get a huge surprise release. Here is the forecast:
4:30am NY Time UK CPI y/y Forecast 2.7% Previous 2.7%
DEVIATION: 0.3% (BUY GBP 3.0% / SELL GBP 2.4%)
Definition“CPI, Consumer Price Index, is a statistical estimate of the movement of the prices of goods and services bought for consumption purposes by households. Its computation uses price data collected for a sample of goods and services from a sample of sales outlets in a sample of locations for a sample of times and estimates of the shares of the different expenditures in the total covered by the index which are usually based upon expenditure data obtained for sampled periods from a sample of households Wikipedia).” It is also known as the “True Cost of Living”.
