|
|
|

Well, after hours of 'grading' the latest trading contest I can now see why other contests around the web do nothing to moderate their contests. It's less work, with the same or even better marketing, traffic, etc. but still we stand firm that the Razor contests will be a unique place where ev...

What do we mean when we request you 'identify the market'? Well, some markets seem to aimlessly meander like a river flowing over flat land, as it's waters move out to sea. Other markets streak, either up or down - there is no question which way they are headed. The only issue is h...

It has been a great week for the USD as it gained against all the majors. The New Zealand Dollar was the last market where the futures traders were long. Early in the week, the kiwi bought .8316 cents per USD, but by the end of the week it was down under the 81 handle. Should the w...

There is nothing more discouraging to a trader than to correctly analyze a market, and then watch it streak away without you. Markets often have false starts, and then settle back to the congestion area where they started. Buying the break out with an appropriate money market stop often ...

For the fifth day in a row, WTI (West Texas Intermediate) crude traded lower - under 93 for the June contract. Granted, there is much more to the Canadian economy than energy, but it is the biggest source of export revenue. The Alberta oil sands are estimated to be the third largest rese...

Yesterday, Thursday 09 May 2013, we were lamenting the lack of decisive moves, especially in the euro and the yen. What a difference a day makes.

Since the EURUSD (FXE, UUP) made a spike low of about 1.2850 in early April, the euro has forged a steady recovery. It has not been dramatic, but the bears have paid a price. The short side of this pair has been popular with specs. In the futures market, the COT report showed the s...

Once again the US Labor Department delivers a surprise in the most recent NFP report. Following last month's low number, the experts all reduced their guesses for the new report and, of course, the number at 165K new hires exceeds all expectations. The unemployment rate slipped to 7.5%, ...
