DAY 8 - MISSING OUT ON A MOVE

alifari Postado 8 Jul  em #Trader's blog #Trend #Missing #Volatility #Move
In last few weeks there is high volatility in currency market and when we see such large moves we fear of missing out a trade.
"Get really impatient when price is trending and I'm afraid of missing out on a move"

That statement right there is a big one.
A quick baseball analogy. Two hitters. One goes up to bat - swings at everything that is thrown him, regardless of whether or not the pitches are hit-able. He may get 'lucky' from time to time and get a hit, but more likely he's going to stri…

DAY 4 - MARKET VOLATILITY

alifari Postado 4 Jan  em #Trader's blog #Volatility #Market
What a start, as the first trading day of the year started with high volatility all across the board. Wasn't expecting such a lackluster start after holidays. Chinese stock market was in free fall today and as a result market was on risk aversion mode and commodity currencies were hit hard and Japanese investors were selling higher yield currencies and buying back JPY. Some interesting moves are expected in days ahead.

DAY 24 - MARKET VOLATILITY

alifari Updated 24 Ago  em #Trader's blog #Volatility #Market
What a day of whipsaw price movement and high market volatility. Days like these could make or break traders and very often retail traders are on the wrong side of the as you need deep pockets to survive these kind of moves. It's really hard to resist and hold yourself of not taking a trade. I decided to remain on sidelines until the dust settle down. There is always tomorrow and new opportunities waiting, as long as we do not lose it all.
We might not make profit from the opportunities that we

DAY 13 - EURUSD VOLATILITY

alifari Updated 13 Maio  em #Trader's blog #Eurusd #Volatility
The ECB has managed to bring some intra day volatility back to the market after Draghi insinuated that Euro monetary policy is about to change come June 5th. So far, the ECB has been doing most of the lifting by defending the EUR, using a defensive tactic very much in line with the SNB viz. defend the EURUSD 1.40 psychological print.
Moreover, Draghi has said that they will act in a few weeks, if updated inflation forecasts merit policy easing. The ECB does not have an FX target, but when EURUSD…

This whole bearishness didnt broke any of the key levels, bull trend is still on, as far as my analysis goes.. 1.3480's is one of these key levels and it deffinately has soem more room to drop if it wants to.. But I rahter see 1.3600 holding if there still is bullish agenda..

DAY 5 - Low Volatility Monday

alifari Postado 5 Maio  em #Trader's blog #Forex #Volatility #Equities #Monday #Low
Forex
Monday's are usually low volatility day compare to other days and with London on a public holiday, there was hardly any moves in major currency pairs. Hopefully, we would see some high volatility later in the week mainly on Thursday as interest rate decision is due by ECB & BoE.
Equities
As regards to equities, the boost to market sentiment provided by NFP data did not last long and global equities start the week on the back foot, as investors digest the latest sign of weakness from China'…

Forex Volatility - Posted on 22nd April

alifari Updated 22 Abr  em #Trader's blog #Forex #Volatility
Finally markets reopen after a four day holiday break, but market volatility remained low today and we have seen no clear direction on majority of currencies. Global equities have managed to stage a small rebound from last week's lows, which indicates that stock traders are less concerned about tensions in Ukraine and are confident about the U.S. first-quarter earnings season so far.
I am expecting volatility to pick-up tomorrow and Thursday due to some important fundamental numbers coming out o…

Today's Price Action

alifari Postado 27 Dez  em #Trader's blog #Volatility #Price Action #Thin Liquidity #Smart Money
Despite no major news even today, we have seen whipsaw price action on lots of forex pairs taking out stop loss on both sides, which is very common practice amongst smart money in time of low liquidity, as it is easier for them to create volatile price action, as the quantity of orders on the opposite side is thin, hence it is an ideal situation to create such volatile price movement.
Many retail traders would be looking at price chart now and would be upset and thinking, as to how they missed t…

One thing traders tend to forget is that markets will be there tomorrow and day after and after and there are going to by lot of opportunities too, so if you miss a move don't bang your head and get upset and take a crap setup just because you don't want to be in the market.

Market Volatility

alifari Postado 23 Dez  em #Trader's blog #Volatility #Market #Holiday
The consolidative price action this morning provides traders with a taste of what we can expect for the next 2 weeks. The holidays are upon us and they are typically characterized by low volatility, thin trading volumes and narrow ranges. Occasionally there are breakout moves driven by year end position adjustments and today’s price action in currencies is indicative of profit taking.
The best performing currency and the biggest mover today is the Canadian dollar. Of course, it doesn’t mean muc…
