  I recorded three short five minute vidoes to follow-up last week's Talk My Book video...What?!? Did you think I was not going to take the opportunity to discuss last week's spectacular crash and burn.
  As the signature on my emails read: "...sometimes wrong, but never in doubt."
  I'm back to my five minute daytrading set [...]

  I had posted a few charts at chart.ly earlier today and wanted to follow them up with some analysis and set up detail. The two set ups were both on the daily chart. These are updated to show where the set ups look now as opposed to when I posted them earlier today at chart.ly.

• The yen is telling an interesting story today…

  Update:  Throughout this article I discuss the "yen" as in the Japanese Yen itself and the $USDJPY which ofcourse is the pair of the U.S. Dollar and Japanese Yen.
  So far the yen seems pretty unaffected by today's dollar sell-off through the major psychological level 80.00 and the Dow's rally back up through 10k.
  For most traders the $USDJPY [...]

• Two $EURUSD Set Ups to Watch.

  Probably like many of you, the Red Bull cans are piling up as your try and stay awake today.  Boring markets mean accumulation cycles and that's what I'm patiently watching today.  The 60 minute chart of the $EURUSD has a nice asymmetrical triangle pattern as prices have formed an intraday triple top.  It's a soft [...]

• Any Given Thursday…

  With a week like this...there's hardly a typical day but that's the way I have to prep for each day.  Look for the set ups, know the data releases, keep an eye on volatility, and ofcourse my market cycles.  While the goal for each day is the same, how I'm going to get there can [...]

• So dollar…whatcha want to do now?
  ragheehorner, January 12th, 2010 at 8:06 pm, Comments: 0

  The U.S. Dollar Index rules most of my day.  I have a a love/hate relationship with the dollar because when I get it right trading feels like the easiest thing I can do...when I get it wrong trading feels like the hardest way to make an easy living.  I'm also seeing that the inverse correlation [...]

  Happy New Year everyone - I'm glad January is here.  Time to get back to work!  My forex trading world basically revolves around four to seven pairs.  My bread and butter being the $EURUSD,$USDJPY, $USDCAD, and$GBPUSD.  Tonight I'm managing a short in the $USDJPY on the 30 minute chart.

  The market cycle is heading lower as [...]

• How I’ve been passing the time in December…
  ragheehorner, December 17th, 2009 at 11:27 am, Comments: 0

  I'm not a big fan of trading in the month of December.  I usually like to relax, hit the driving range, and clean the mess I have made of my office the prior eleven months.  And usually I don't feel like I've missed anything.  Still, I am a trader...and when I don't a have a [...]

• Examining the Year-End Futures-Forex Connection
  ragheehorner, December 10th, 2009 at 8:48 pm, Comments: 0

  I'm always looking at what effects the currency pairs that I trade.   Since the majority of my trades are "dollar-correlated" in some way I must know what's effecting the dollar.  I come from a futures trading background and this has served me well again and again.  Now the relationship between, for example, the U.S. [...]
