New Chapter: C01 - Developing a Trading System

Having studied Units A and B you should now be familiarized with the Forex market and able to pick the best set-ups, the optimal time to trade as well as a lot of guidelines about how to trade them.
However, and because there are exceptions to analytical guidelines without which market analysis would be a science of exactitude - not one of probability-, you need a structured approach, in other words: a trading system.

Check it out!

Hi everyone

The event attracted 1,926 traders and was hosted by Valeria Bednarik, covering the Interest Rates decision of two of the most important World Central banks, the ECB and BoE, for more than two hours live from FXstreet.com Homepage and Calendar.
Yesterday’s FED Live Coverage was followed by more than 1,100 traders and we expect to reach great numbers in tomorrow’s NFP Live Coverage.

Hi everyone

Today I got a picture of my childhood from an old classmate. The picture shows my class taking a rest after a hard morning in the country.

I guess I was around 12/13 years old, I can not be more concret.

A super prize of megatrillions of dollars for the guy that recognizes me :)… just kidding

This is a recent picture of Rob Booker and myself, taken at the ITC 2009 from last month. He was so kind that brought me as a present a T-shirt of the worst NBA team last year as he knows that I love basketball.
I’m 42 years old even though I do seem to have 20

This is my class 30 years ago

Hi everyone

FXstreet.com traffic growth keeps a healthy pace in 2009 with the up trend still in place after falling from March all-time highs.

Parachute visitors - those coming through a keyword in a search engine, mostly from Google - and core visitors - those coming from a bookmark or a search engine entering a keyword related to FXstreet’s name - both retraced back heavily after October’s highs but seems to have recovered the pace in October.

Let’s see how we close the year….

Hi everyone

Meanwhile, Forex News Home Page touched a new all-time high too of 128,249 page views from previous high of 119,000 page views reached in January 2008.

Hi everyone

As some of you already know, Ashraf Laidi, chief foreign exchange strategist at CMC Markets in London, was in Barcelona a few weeks ago to attend FXstreet’s International Traders Conference (ITC 2009).

Ashraf was one of guest speakers at the event. But he is also a great soccer fan so he arranged his busy schedule to stay a few more days in Barcelona and go to a F.C. Barcelona’s game.

Ashraf went with me to watch Barcelona playing against Russian Champion Rubin Kazan. We had a great time at the stadium, but Rubin Kazan was a tough opponent and unexpectedly they beat us 1-2.

Here you have a picture of our night at the stadium.

Apologies for my weird face, I was eating a sandwich Ashraf bought for me… It was delicious

Hi everyone

A good news to start the week

The week from October 25th to 31st 2009 was the best week ever for FXstreet.com.

In terms of page views, the site reached 1,347,619 page views, 40,000 page views above the previous high of 1,307,194 touched the week of March 15th to 21st 2009.

In unique visitors, the site still was far from highs. It reached 164,109 unique visitors, still far from all-time high of 181,856 touched the week of October 5th to 11th.

Studying and Practicing is the key

Practice A and B now available!
They say 90% of the new FX traders blow up their account in a very short time. Why 10% only don’t? There is no magical solution, no rapid way of being consistenly profitable. Studying, practising, reading: this is how you can pretend to become a good trader. Let’s face the truth: this is a long process. The LC is your partner in this effort and the practice chapters will enable you to put your skills and knowledge to the test.

Practice of Unit B includes:
* Extra contents: Elliott Wave Principle Extended
* 4 Assessements made of more than 270 questions (mulptiple choices, short text field questions, image selections…)

Practice A also available (one extra chapter and more than 280 questions in the assessments)

Each Practice costs only 50€! Read our FAQ to know more about these pay-per-view modules.

Hi everyone

EUR/USD has already broken 1.50 and seems more USD weakness is ahead of us. Some predict a USD recovery while others are bearish and forecast USD declining much beyond 1.60 level.

We interviewed some of the guest speakers of the last 3rd edition of the International Traders Conference held here in Barcelona from October 14th to 16th 2009.

View their different opinions here:

EUR/USD to reach levels below 1.35 or above 1.75?
