DAY 11 - IMPORTANT NEWS EVENTS FOR COMING WEEK

alifari Posted 11 Sep.  in #News #Trader's blog #Week #Important
Being a technical trader doesn't necessarily means we have to completely ignore fundamentals while trading. Although my trade signals are purely based on technical analysis, but I make sure to be aware of what news is coming out for a particular pair, so that I don't get whipsaw by volatile price movement.
Here are some important news for coming week and the outcome of these news could have some impact on price movements of these currencies.
Monday, September 12
Japan is to release data on core…

DAY 4 - KEY EVENTS FOR NEXT WEEK

alifari Updated 4 July  in #Trader's blog #Week #Events #Key
Next week is expected to be another volatile week, as some key events are lined up which could provide opportunity for some big moves.
First the Greek Referendum Vote scheduled for Sunday and regardless of the result, analysts expect all Euro related pairs to open the week with gap up or down and as such I would be looking for valid supply & demand zones to enter retracement trades to fill up the gap.
On Tuesday RBA interest rate statement is scheduled, while majority of analysts expect no chang…

DAY 17 - FUNDAMENTAL NEWS EVENTS FOR COMING WEEK

alifari Updated 17 May  in #News #Trader's blog #Fundamental #Week #Events
"There's such huge differences between being smart, being right, and making money”
Another interesting week ahead as far as fundamental events are concerned. While there any other economic data being released in next few days, but in my opinion the four important ones are Monetary Policy Meeting Minutes by RBA, MPC Vote Official Bank Rate by BoE, FOMC Meeting Minutes by Fed's and Monetary Policy Statement by BoJ.
It's all about interest rate decisions and stimulus which is driving market up or d…

Which one are you? Smart or right? Or maybe you are making a lot of money? :)

I am none of three right now, but I am striving to make lot of money and to achieve that, I think I don't need to be smart or right most of the time. It's all about discipline, practice, hard work and passion.

DAY 7 - WEEK 1 TRADING

alifari Posted 7 Feb.  in #Trader's blog #Trading #Week
Not the best of start for me in February trader contest. My current equity is down from 100k to 76k and got whipsawed on majority of my trades this week and ended with a 24% draw down.
This high volatility fundamental driven trading week is finally over and next week there are very few major market moving fundamental news event, so hopefully will try to build up my equity back and try to get in Top 20.
USDJPY & EURUSD is on my radar for next week and I would be looking for higher time frame supp…

DAY 1 - KEY EVENTS FOR WEEK AHEAD

alifari Posted 1 Feb.  in #Trader's blog #Week #Event #Key
First week of the month is always an eventful week due to major fundamental news event scheduled all across the board. However, this week my focus would be on RBA & BoE interest rate decision and statement plus an all important NFP which is due on Friday. So AUDUSD, GBPUSD & USDJPY would be on my radar for now.
January month was the least eventful month for me as I was unable to earn any prize money in any contest. So all geared up this month for some improvement. Here is some motivation for tra…

DAY 6 - WEAK NFP - INTERESTING WEEK AHEAD

alifari Posted 6 Sep.  in #Trader's blog #Nfp #Week #Ahead
By all counts the U.S. dollar looked extremely overbought based on technical analysis and was due for a correction. Friday’s surprisingly weak non-farm payrolls report triggered a pullback in the currency, but in light of its strong rally this week, the decline was extremely modest.
Payroll growth missed expectations by an eye-popping 88k and the magnitude of the miss should have triggered a more significant sell-off in the greenback. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, only 142k jobs w…

Trading Week 14th April to 18th April 2014

alifari Posted 13 Apr.  in #Trader's blog #Trading #Analysis #Week #Inspirational
Another trading week is about to start and I did my analysis over the weekend and all set to execute my plan without fear. Been reluctant to place trades based on my plan and missed some nice opportunities, but there is still plenty of time left to catch up and climb up the ladder. I am expecting some volatility starting earlier this week as it is a holiday shortened week as on Friday majority of markets would be closed in observance of Good Friday and again Monday would be holiday too, so the f…

alifari Posted 7 Apr.  in #Trader's blog #Fundamental #Week #Events #Key #Current
First week of month is always filled with lots of major fundamental news event and traders look for clues & future price direction based on these key events. Second week are somewhat lighter on the fundamental side, however there is still few key events which needs absolute attention and could dictate price action in coming weeks.
Japan - BoJ Monetary Policy Statement: The expectation is that the central bank will keep its policy unchanged for the time being. Moreover, we are yet to see any majo…

US Dollar Ending Week Quietly

alifari Posted 21 Feb.  in #Trader's blog #Week #Us Dollar

The US dollar is little changed against the major currencies. It has spent the week largely consolidating the recent moves. After falling against all the major currencies last week, it recovered somewhat against most this week. The main exceptions were the euro and Swiss franc, which have gained less than 0.3%.
The weakest of the major currencies have been the Swedish krona, which has been undermined by the shift in sentiment back toward a rate cut following soft CPI data (deflation) earlier…
