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

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

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

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?
Watch the videos with Rob Booker, Ashraf Laidi, Kim Cramer Larsson and James Chen forecasts.

What do you think?
Go to FXstreet’s Forum and  tell us if you agree with Rob Booker, Ashraf Laidi, Kim Cramer or James Chen: http://www.fxstreet.com/forum/showthread.php?t=53208
