Apart from Gold , which I had made a call to go LONG , there are other assets that you can consider as well.

So, in this chart, except for EURUSD is a LONG, the other two pairs, USDJPY and USDCHF is a SHORT (sell US dollars and buy JPY/CHF). If I have to choose,...

Quality trade that is what you want! It is better to have a near 100% small profits in your pocket than to RISK a bigger profit that you are not quite sure of. In this case, I would not meddle with this pair. Is Trump going to continue devalue the US dollar? We have seen how badly it has been beaten down over the last few weeks. Even so, there will be a pull...

Again, I got two setups done here. One may argue that why take only 1:2 profit target when you could have more. Of course, that is on hindsight. Plus, to do that you need to glue to the computer to close your position and while some like the thrill, I am OK with this strategy. I won't advocate increasing your position size unless you are very confident but still,...

Looking at the longer trajectory of the Oil chart, I am not too bullish and optimistic about its future. Weekly chart reveals it is still trending down in the channel with mid Jan this year giving the bulls a false hope only to falls further south. I expect the price to slightly moves up to the resistance level (OR higher to create a bull trap) at 66.08 before it...

However, after a week, the market got terrified and heads south but noticed it did not formed a lower low from 9th April candle. 25th April candle tells us it has breaks out from the resistance level and the last two days have been pretty bullish as well. I...

While we are officially no longer in a bear market, the price action are still weak and has yet to break above the resistance of 19,213 on 9th April which was the day Trump announced a 90 days cooling period. If the price action over the next week/month continues nicely in the upward...

Strictly, avoid using money that you cannot afford to lose. Common sense may not be commonly practised in today's topsy turvy world where even the President can say one thing and flip flop another the next day. No matter how convincing you are to LONG or SHORT the market, always have a back up plan what if you are wrong ? If you take care of the downside and if...

The social media is full of half truth, fake news and sensational news, to the advantage/motives of certain groups of people. That is why you always read it with a large dosage of salt, laugh it off and do your own critical thinking. I know is...
