Is there such a thing as insider trading and insider information?
Perhaps to begin with, we should examine what this means and then decide whether or not it is possible.
An insider is a person who can access an organisations non-public information.
This could be employees handling or accessing valuable data, ranging from the accountants, solicitors, directors, CEO’s and anyone else connected in some way.
This includes friends, acquaintances and even Government officials. Furthermore, if the in

Day Trading Forex and the Top 10 Forex Beginners Trading Tips.
The standard use of the term "Day Trading" refers to short term market positions where the trader opens and closes a position within the same day. Rather unfortunately, this term along with the original concept received bad press in the 1990's when it earned the reputation of liquidating many beginners Trading accounts. However, the fact remains that no one whether beginner or seasoned trader, should simply jump into the markets wit
At the Start of this Millennium, Currency Trading / FX / Forex was been sold to potential newbie traders as one of the best ways to make your millions from just a small capital base and a few hours of work a week. We had all heard about all the money Hedge Fund and Bank Traders had been making during the 80's and 90's and now with the availability of the world wide web and access to the markets - it was time to get involved.
All you had to do was spend a few weeks or months learning how to tra

We mentioned in part one about the Forex Market really being a "zero - sum" game - that's after the "trade" - ie Brokers / commercial agents etc have had their "spreads and commissions" off traders participating in the market place.
We also mention the "them and us" - IE commercial institutions / Banks / Governments / Hedge Funds etc - being them and us - being the "poor little relative" - ie the Retail Trader - working for ourselves and trying to make a profitable return from our Capital and
Currency Trading is just really the largest "money game" on the Planet - played by loads of all different people and organisations around the World.
We have really 2 main sections - you could say "them and us" - with us being part of the retail section or community - ie individuals - not working for Banks or Hedge Funds, commercial organisations etc - but instead just for ourselves.

Hello guys,
It is a great feeling to be back here with the best traders. It was a busy semester for me, no time for trading, so glad I can spend more time around this great place with all of you now.
I would like to show you some (for me interesting) findings, I have made with an artificial market which I have worked on as a semestral project. The main goal was to find out under what circumstances can a market crash appear, but this is not what I will talk about in this blog post.

There could be valid grounds to suggested that all Trading or investing is based upon The Greater Fool Theory (T.G.F.T.) which could perhaps, have been scribed on a Stone or Clay Tablet in a far off distant Galaxy or here in the past and just maybe found, hidden but written in the Forexmos S.T.A.R.'s or even written inside an Ancient Scroll somewhere. Things in life, do have the habit of re-orbiting, in Time, so with this in mind I would also suggest this post, maybe for some, is once again bei
So when looking through my pages at all of this forex trading jibber jabber, to me it's a works in progress for preparing and writing a useful traders blog which could be used as a trading tip.

"We all know we will never be 100% Accurate with 100% win rate over 100's or 1000's of trades - but as long as your winning pips and money - add up to a lot more than your losing pips and money - then "Bingo" you are successful winning FX trader"
"I figured this was a legitimate break, so I went on the hunt for evidence, so here in succession is the list of clues I used to make my decision:
Rejection of market and weekly pivot at ema confluence.

"Forex Market analysis relies on two types of analysis much like Stock Markets:
Technical Forex Market Analysis views the data on a chart and considers that the News and Data is built into the Price already (economic, political, social, sentimental and psychological).

The hammer falls and clanks decisively, echoing, sparking, like steel upon steel and the trade is executed. A Traders heart beats on with perfect set up, closely aligned with strict parameters, ready to continue the attack or recoil on a wire. Wrap the profit and then stand down, ready for the next hunt"
"When we are talking about sentiment it is very hard to say that this sentiment will prevail another 6, 9, 13 hours. Sentiment is not a constant line. Main trend is bearish, tech picture on daily is bearish, even intraday neutral. Nobody restrict to play long eur short usd position with the target at 1.12 or even 1.1361, this is every traders individual choice as always"
