Well, I have retired in the Philippines in a small beach town that has internet, thank god! I invested for years in the USA to get me to this point and now the beach has become boring and I am learning the art of short term trading.

 

I look forward to meeting you all and learning what is available. If anybody needs info on trading in the Philippines, (yes they have direct access trading on the PSE) or living here or even vacationing here let me know.

 

Regards,

Marketmonkey

Hi Everyone.

 

I'm starting trading gold futures and need some help in understanding how to trade. I need a little clarification on the margin and the strike price. In stock futures trading I buy options based on the strike price, but in commodities trading there is a margin. Where does the strike price and future price based on the strike price come in? :confused:

Hi everyone,

 

I am a university student in Turkey interested in FX, equtities&indexes, commodities trading. I aim to become a systematic trader with incorporating backtesting, walk forward analysis, paper trading and eventually real/live trading a strategy :D.

 

I hope to earn a living out of trading for my own. My biggest obstacle in this path is inadequate programming skills, but I am working on it.

 

Thanks and I wish everyone profitable trades.

Hello! My name is Matt and I'm from Lithuania. I'm trading over a year now. I'm only 17 years old, started trading forex when I was 16. Now I have real account and so far I'm quite happy with my results. Still not very best, but doing my best to get better. On my free time I enjoy reading self-development books, training outside. Looking for new friends traders.

So I guess it's enough. Have a wonderful day and good luck for everyone!

 

Matt.

I am new here and have experience in trading Fx for 8 years and still continue learning today. I have discovered this website by accident, it was the link from another forum that guided me here. English is not my native language and so excuse me if I did not express well here. I am interested to learn how to use Market statistic and VWAP in MetaTrader 4 platform.

Hey Everyone!

 

My name is Gregg Schultz, I'm an electrical Engineer who liked to invest & trade on the side. I currently utilize an ETF "Rotation" strategy with many of the commission-free ETFs on Fidelity, and I actually like to put some of my savings into a few stable/"High Sharpe Ratio" mutual funds with Charles Schwab (again, some of their mutual funds don't charge commissions, and contributions can be as small as one dollar), as an alternative to a bank Savings account.

 

Otherwise, I'm hoping to learn about simple Options trading (perhaps a few "conservative" Iron Condors are in my future), particularly if I can integrate that knowledge with a "Value" investing strategy (an Options "Collar" for example, could allow me to purchase even more of an under-priced security if it ever gaps down).

 

Looking forward to seeing what comes of this experience at "Traders Laboratory", Woo-hoo! =)

Hi. I'm Yura and ja complete beginner. I've begun taking forex lessons at Babypips. I'm also looking through a book on candlestick trading by a guy named Candle Master.

 

I've never traded live yet, not even a demo. I'm currently studying candlestick charts. They seem the most simple and informative. But I guess I should try all kinds of methods to find what suits me best?

 

Hope I can learn some more here as well.

Hello all!

 

I am interested in programming for Forex trading. I've been sucking data into a mySql db and trading with IG API - but I think its time to move on to Mt4 or Mt5 (dilemma here I think) or perhaps a different tool. I have come to learn from the masters...;)

Hello - new guy here on the forums. I trade the ES. All my trade set up are based off of the Market Profile, confirming with Volume Imbalance Footprint and a few tick charts using only 3 non-correlated indicators. I look forward to contributing to the forums as much as I can.

Cheers!

    • Date: 29th March 2024. GBPUSD Analysis: The Pound Trades Higher But For How Long? The global Stocks Markets are closed due to Easter Friday (Good Friday). The NASDAQ continued to follow the sideways trend while other indices again rose. The SNP500 reaches an all-time high, but the NASDAQ remains under pressure from Tesla, Meta and Apple. The Euro continues to trade lower against all major currencies including the US Dollar, Euro and Japanese Yen. The British Pound is the best performing currency during this morning’s Asian session. However, investors are largely fixing their attention on this afternoon’s Core PCE Price Index. GBPUSD – The Pound Trades Higher but For How Long? The GBPUSD is slightly higher than the day’s open and is primary due to the Pound’s strong performance. At the moment, the British Pound is increasing in value against all major currencies. However, the US Dollar Index is also trading 0.10% higher and for this reason there is a slight conflict here. If investors wish to avoid this conflict, the EURUSD is a better option. This is because, the Euro depreciating against the whole currency market avoiding the “tug-of-war” scenario. The GBPUSD is trading slightly lower than the 2-month’s average price and is trading at 49.10 on the RSI. For this reason, the price of the exchange is at a “neutral” level and is signalling neither a buy nor a sell. The day’s price action and future signals are possibly likely to be triggered by this afternoon’s Core PCE Price Index. Analysts expect the Core PCE Price Index to read 0.3% which is slightly lower than the previous month but will result in the annual figure remaining at 2.85%. The PCE rate is different to the inflation rate and the Fed aims for a rate between 1.5% to 2.00%. Therefore, even if the annual rate remains at 2.85%, as analysts expect, it would be too high for the Fed. If the rate increases, even if only slightly, the US Dollar can again renew bullish momentum and the stock market can come under pressure. This includes the SNP500. Investors are focused on the publication of data on the UK’s gross domestic product (GDP) for the last quarter of 2023: the quarterly figures decreased by 0.3%, and 0.2% over the past 12-months. This confirms the state of a shallow recession and the need for stimulation. The data, combined with a cooling labor market and a steady decline in inflation, increase the likelihood that the Bank of England will soon begin interest rate cuts. In the latest meeting the Bank of England representatives did not see any members vote for a hike. USA500 – The SNP500 Rises to New Highs, But Cannot Hold Onto Gains! The price of the SNP500 rises to an all-time high, before correcting 0.33% and ending the day slightly lower than the open price. Nonetheless, the index performs better than the NASDAQ which came under pressure from Tesla, Meta and Apple which hold a higher weight compared to the SNP500. For the SNP500, these 3 stocks hold a weight of 9.25%, whereas the 3 stocks make up 14.63% of the NASDAQ. The SNP500 is also supported by ExxonMobil’s gains due to higher energy prices. The market will remain closed on Friday due to Easter. However, the market will reopen on Monday for the US and investors can expect high volatility. Investors will also need to take into consideration how the PCE Price Index and the changed value of the US Dollar is likely to affect the stock market next week.
