Trading Advantages with Binary Options

If you have never considered binary options, you need to think again.  These relatively new contracts offer a broad range of advantages that can help the average home-based trader.  Important factors to consider are fixed and variable payout structures, daily expiration times, and trading fees.  However, make sure you are trading with a legitimate regulated exchange, there are many binary brokers who are not. 

Mastering Technical Analysis: Part 2

In Part 1 of this series we described the most important technical tool at a trader's disposal which in our opinion is the trend. Understanding and utilising trends should serve as a foundation to any trader's analysis. We now want to start building on this foundation by mastering what we consider the next most important technical tool at our disposal and that is support and resistance levels. 

Mastering Technical Analysis: Part 1

For those of you out there who are looking to start trading the markets, there's so much different information available to you on the internet it's hard to know where to start. If you search the web looking for information on how to trade you will come up against a whole heap of people claiming that to make money you need to use Candle Stick Patterns, Elliot Wave theory, Gann, Descending Triangles and many other methods. All of these methods can be quite overwhelming for the budding trader and quite frankly you're better to start off trading by mastering the most important basics. 

A Look Around The Markets

Craig Cobb takes us through a roundup of the trends that he's currently stalking and offers a brief analysis on each of these markets, detailing what he's looking for to join the trends. 

Managing the Black Swan

As traders we do all we can to manage our risk on every single trade and on every single day, but what about occurrences that are totally out of our control? How do we deal with these and which markets are safe?

I will take you through a breakdown of some of the most commonly traded markets and include some of their outside risk factors.

Charts of Interest - Nasdaq 100, USDSGD and GBPAUD

The end of the trading week is fast approaching however there's still a bit of time left to continue looking for that next trade to come about. We thought we would take you through 3 charts which are certainly worth keeping an eye on through to the end of this week and even early next week. There's no precise trade setups on these charts quite yet but there's ceratinly potential trading opportunities developing. 

Plan the Trade and Trade the Plan

Planning ahead is so important in any facet of life. Whether you're planning an overseas trip for your family or planning out your working career, we've all had to plan ahead in life and it's essential in order to achieve our end goal. The Cricket World Cup which starts this week in New Zealand and Australia would have had many thousands of hours spent on it planning out every little detail. Clearly it's the level of planning that goes into an event such as this which makes it so successful. 

Where to Next for the Euro?

With a short pause in what seems like the relentless runaway trends in many Euro pairs and crosses, Simon Clarke takes a look at where the next decision points for these markets may be. Surprisingly many of these markets are already at some key support and resistance structures that can help identify potential near term trading opportunities.

Craig’s Weekly FX Watchlist

The start of another week is a great time to do a top down scan of the major markets you trade. Craig Cobb lets you look over his shoulder as he takes a look at the markets he likes the most for potential moves in the coming week. EURNZD is starting to look rather bearish with a potential flat level forming to the downside, USDJPY is looking strong if we can break above last week’s high and EURUSD is looking a little indecisive so Craig’s waiting to see if we get a strong move out of the current range. AUDJPY is looking bearish and Craig’s interested to see how the current daily candle closes. On the flipside of AUDJPY is GBPJPY which is starting to move higher and NZDUSD looks bearish if Fridays daily candle can get broken to the downside. Be sure to check out Craig’s video below if you want more detailed analysis of the charts mentioned.

Stalking USDSGD Long

Our job as traders is to scan the markets until we find a valid trade setup according to our strategies. We then enter the trade according to our rules and manage our risk while we are in the position. Depending on where our stop loss and profit target levels are we then exit the trade with either a profit or a loss (yes all traders have to learn to takes losses, it's just part of the business) and then repeat the process in search of the next trade.
