26 Jan A Quick Look At World Indices For 2015
The increase in volatility across Indices has been quite notable over the last 6 Weeks and this often occurs before a deep correction or a trend change. Therefore here's a few longer term charts of some Indices to look at the bigger picture.DAX
From the outset this looks like a healthy chart. There are historical corrections on DOW and SPX that look identical to this one and on every occasion the Bull markets continued in both Indices. As things stand, shorting this would be a risky place to be.
03 Jan Swing Trading Review of 2014 & Website Refresh for 2015
First of all, Happy New Year to all who have followed the blog and particularly to everybody who keeps in touch with emails and suggestions about the site.As you know, 2014 was a quiet year on this blog not just because of commitments outside of trading and a stint abroad with no internet connectivity, but also because finding trade set-ups I felt confident about was a real struggle. Whilst I should apply my system to every trade, it just wasn't giving any signals on the charts I followed and traditional T.A became the favoured method, albeit sometimes unreliably.
13 Dec EUR:CAD Swing Long; 13th December 2014
I'm somewhat late posting details of this trade as it was entered by an electronic limit order at a time where I had no internet connection to tweet it live, although details of the trade possibility were posted on the ADVFN forum in advance.In short, here is what attracted me to this trade, entered at 1.4260:24 Nov GBP:USD Swing Long – Short Term Trade; 24th Nov 2014

After some Months without seeing a single swing trade opportunity I felt comfortable with, I've finally taken the plunge with a GBP:NZD swing long.Although its a choppy pair to say the least, the overall trend has been up for almost 18 Months now even though a glance at the chart doesn't immediately suggest that. Volatility aside, MACD and the moving averages do suggest a probable continuation of the ongoing move, which ideally will lead to a more sustained move higher.11 May The Efficacy of using Stop Losses: 11th May 2014
