One of the best technical tools we can use in our analysis is the status other currency pairs. If you are of the opinion that because of fundamental reasons the US Dollar will weaken, your next step would be to find the currency pair that gives you the best chance for a profitable trade. |

Last week I was reviewing a website which has a trading signal program for those investors who prefer to not being involved in confusing market analysis and I respect them because such services normally will bring them more time to do other important things in their daily life. But the interesting thing was the most of signalers did not actually place a stop loss point on their recommendations. Is that so because they know they are right all the time? Or that's because they did not lose half of their trading account in an unexpected slump of 200 hundred points and a single trade. |

Trading futures and stocks involves the use of some of the more arcane terms found in any field of endeavor. Those less-experienced traders who are trying to break into an already-difficult business are many times even more frustrated by "phraseology" they do not understand and which seems to make no sense at all. I wish you could have seen the look on my wife's face when she overheard a telephone conversation in which I told a customer we were seeing a "deadcat bounce" in a market! |

Your trading style forms a basis for your beliefs about how to enter the market. This is important because you really only trade your beliefs about the market. It's very hard to trade something that's going up if you believe it is overvalued. Similarly, it's very hard to trade something that's considered undervalued, if you believe (because it is going down) that it will continue to go down. |

Regular readers of my reports will probably recognize that I use cycle analysis when trying to work out which direction a currency pair will be moving and when this direction is likely to reverse. So what do these look like and how do they work? The following chart shows the cycles I have been using to identify the major cycle low in Dollar-Yen back in August, from which time I have been bullish over the rest of this year. |

It is not too far when the veteran traders got used to draw the trend lines using pencil and paper. Whereas the market data sent by mail to them and there was no computer and a trading desk. Were they really wrong by not using super analytical charting platforms? Were they all losers? I bet they were not only doing great but comparing to my fellow traders (Including me) they were absolutely sophisticated traders. |

In my peak performance training with traders, I give a strong psychological slant to the concept of self-sabotage. Self-sabotage typically occurs when one lacks the discipline to act in one's own best interest. For example, when you have dessert, knowing it's taboo because you are trying get healthy, you might call that self-sabotage. Or perhaps you know you need to exercise and you really feel good when you do so, but somehow you just feel lazy and want to skip the exercise period. Self-sabotage occurs in trading in many instances: |

Those who have followed my work for some time know that I take a "toolbox" approach to analyzing and trading markets. The more technical and analytical tools I have in my trading toolbox at my disposal, the better my chances for success in trading. One of my favorite "secondary" trading tools is moving averages. |

In some of the educational stories I have written, I discussed my "primary" trading tools and my "secondary" trading tools. I also mentioned that the more tools one has in his or her "Trading Toolbox," the better the odds for trading success. In this educational feature, I want to focus on one of the most basic--yet most powerful--trading tools: the trend line. |

Many times in trading we here the terms overbought and oversold. We hear an analyst state that the EUR/USD is overbought and due for a correction or that the USD/CAD is oversold and due for a bounce. But how does one determine what is overbought and what is oversold and just what does that mean? |
