The Secret of Successful Trading

"Successful traders have a larger edge and better money management than unsuccessful traders. Unlike popular belief however, this study shows that the smaller edge of successful traders is not the cause of their failure. Traders' failures can be explained almost exclusively by their poor money management practices."

3rd September 2009



still, the EU is stucked in a range from 1.4175/1.4200 area to 1.4400 area. The pair had been in this resistance area for quite some time. and any strong break above 1.4400 will challenge the high at 1.4446, breaking the latter clearly will renew fresh buying interest. on the downside, immediate support is seen at at the 1.4200 region, breaking the latter will expose maybe 1.4050 in near term.

1st September 2009



based on the monthly chart, the EU is now at the resistance formed from the year high at 1.4450 area. the emergence of the spinning top in the monthly chart might indicate a pause for the rally. A correction might be in the cards as well as most global markets are in the oversold area, thus hampering the move up in EU.
