With August under way it seems quite a few traders are taking the traditional summer break. I remember last year wondering whether or not to trade as I’d heard so many rumours/stories about August being a difficult month to trade due to lack of liquidity and volatile price movement. TUFXP actually didn’t do very well [...]

Hi again, all. Back for week two of our FX-Smooth test. First though, an apology: Due to time constraints, it was my intention to post the results on a weekly basis for the first two weeks, then revert to daily posts. Well…best laid plans and all that… I was about to post these, only for [...]

The stochs were indicating oversold and the price literally clipped entry and [...]

As I’m in blog mode I might as well post today’s result. A nice win early on and I’m glad the winning trade is out-of-the-way as the UK budget is released later today and god only knows what effect it will have on the market. I don’t believe the two timeframe method would have had this trade as I [...]
