Ok time to put this baby to rest, this domain is soon going to not exist any more. All theory articles etc. have been moved here while my new blog with opinions and a trading experiment is over here.Please update you bookmarks if you still want to read my mindless ramblings. The subscription service has stopped also (has for a while), sorry about that but I ran out of hours in the day.Happy

BOO!!Scare you? ... na didn't think so (bit hard to scare no-one). Well it's been yonks since I posted anything here, not too sure why to be honest, I think I got sidetracked on other projects and forums and just ran out of energy in the end. If you are wondering where I have been, most of my discussion (and a trading manual I just completed) is over Forex Factory.My ther site, http://

Hi all,It's been a while, I was kept away from the markets for a while, then after that deliberately hid away. Trading can be a taxing endeavour (in both senses of the word), the market is a real moody beast, and any guy that is married will know, pay attention to those that are moody! It was because of this I had to step back, stop writing here, halt the alerts for a while, stop updating

Hi all .. just a quick one to pass on a custom indicator that I just did in the last 10 minutes. It took 10 minutes because it is the easiest concept, and just a more visual way for me to interpret the main indicator I use on my charts. I have named it Akuma99 Temperature to keep with the Stormy theme, and all it does is take the main line off the ADX indicator, look to see if it is above or

So here is how I see it, you go to the effort of backtesting a system, working out an entry and exit strategy, fine tune your stop loss levels and are ready to go. You watch the markets, the news, the stars and numerology until you find the exact point you want to enter the trade, you decide you are going short on the Sterling at 1.7595 and then I'll sit back and watch the money tree grow.Price

Hi all!Well unless you are a new reader, or don't read beyond the first post of a blog, you will know that I launched my new site BeginnerTrader.com early in the week. The reaction has been mainly favourable, and if the traffic is anything to go by then it looks like it was worth doing. As a result of that though, a lot of what this site original was created for is now redundant, as all theory,

I have just finished a new theory article on ZigZags for beginnertrader.com, here is a preview, the full version can be found here.One the most basic concepts in trading are peaks and troughs (for a nice explanation see the Peaks and Troughs e-book in the e-book library), price never moves in straight line for very long, and so taking note of peaks and troughs and their relationship with each

Hi all,A very brief message, but an exciting one, the new site is finally ready, at least for an initial release. The post below lists the features of the site, and more will be added after some feedback, but for now here is the link (and bad luck all those that tried to guess the domain :))http://www.beginnertrader.comSo head on over, enjoy the new site, articles, forums and live trading rooms.

Hi all!Hope you all had a great weekend :) and rested the brain for a busy week.Thanks to a band of fantastic beta testers, the new site is almost upon us. I anticipate it to launch tomorrow unless something else springs up at the last minute, but, just to give you an insight in what is coming up and what has kept me away from the markets, this blog and the alert service over the last week, here

Hi all,Another quick one thanks to a reader who asked in regard to articles for the new site and what it was we were looking for, below is the question, and my answer for all those wondering the same thing:Q: How much writing will you expect from each writer? How long or short should they be? Are you aiming to attract readers, webpage hits, or divulge important information that others might find

Hi all,Well the time is near for a short beta test of the new website. I know there are many dedicated readers, so if you would like to be a beta tester then please let me know at akuma_me@yahoo.com. As a beta tester you will of course get first look at the new site as well as help me test some member functionality, forums and article posting amongst other things, as well as be able to provide

Hi all!Well the new site is very close, no correct guesses yet but keep them coming :) The new site I plan to bigger and better than ever, with a complete re-design, members only content, chat room, forum and much more once I get to it, hopefully something that will help all the readers learn in an easier and more structured way.What I am aiming for though, is for this new site to be a portal for

Hi all,Sorry for my absence in the last couple of days, I haven't been sucked into the vortex of the offline world, but instead, have been busy registering and compiling my brand new .com site which should be ready in the upcoming weeks.A challenge for you all ... who can find it first? .. it is registered, and I am transporting the content as we speak, so what do you think the domain is ...

Hi all,Just a quick one, as those subscribed to the alert service would know, we are watching the USD/JPY at the moment as it establishes a nice symmetrical triangle formation on the 1H charts. Here is the chart as we stand now:USD/JPY 1HA symmetrical triangle such as this one indicates that the market is happy with price at the moment, and there is no clear bias one way or another. Of course the

Hi all, I had this article hanging around from a while ago so I thought I would finish it off,Humans really are amazing creatures, it amazes me everytime I look at my little son Lachlan and see how much he can learn in a single day. There is so much information to take in each and every minute, yet somehow our brains can process it and turn it into something we can understand (sometimes ;)).In

Hi all, I hope you are all having a great weekend!Well the time has come to make a move, blogger has served the purposes of this site well for a long time, but now it is time to get a dedicated domain name, a .com address so I can implement some changes that should benefit all the readers of this site. Some of the things I invisage are things like:Video tutorials and quizesE-Book libraryOnline

Hi again!You might remember me chatting about why I have now introduced advertising to the site last week, and at the time I was going to go with google adsense like so many others, however after them rejecting my application (who knows why), I have had to look for alternatives.Those regulars would have noticed different forms of advertising appearing and dissapearing now and then on the site as

Hi all!I hope you all have had a great week so far and are raking in those pips. A few things to talk about from yesterday, and rather than lots of small posts, I will just lump them together in one.Yesterday's EUR/JPY TradeIn case you didn't check in yesterday, I posted a rundown of why I had placed a short trade on the EUR/JPY (look below this post or click here to see), taken based on channel

Good afternoon all on what is proving to be a very quiet asian session.As things are so quiet I thought I would jot down today's trade as announced on the Yahoo service, where I see it going and why I took it.The trade is a short on the EUR/JPY, so let's look at why I took it, first the current 4H chart:EUR/JPY 4HHere you can see a strong upward channel that prices were trading inside since the

Hi all,I thought I would mention a very simple concept that I know a lot of traders know of, but there may be some who don't. The concept is of chart correlation, i.e. when one pair goes up, another pair goes down.This concept is especially true for all the majors and there is a very simple reason why. All the majors have one thing in common, the USD, in general it is the USD that drives the

Hi all,I am writing in a somewhat frustrated mood at the moment, so I will apologise in advance, but here is what is getting under my skin ... what I now refer to as the humbug trader. For those that celebrate christmas, they will be familiar with the story of the Christmas scrooge, who didn't understand the spirit of Christmas, and who said "Baah humbug!" to any who made references to it, and as

Just a very quick message to say thanks to the messages of concern about my absence the last few days. All is well, but it has been very very busy week offline and so I have been kept out of the markets, and unforunately away from the blog for most of the time. I am back on deck now, and here is a preview of things to come:Theory article on timeframe tradingTheory article #2 on exit

Thinking this weekend about what to update the site with, there were so many bits of things that I thought I would just ramble on a bit about a whole bunch of random things if you all don't mind :)Advertising FundWell I have held off putting any advertising on my site as I

Hi all!Well today has been an interesting week, with recent choppy activity broken up by a strong breakout on Monday following the USD weakening badly on poor Wallstreet performance and underlying uncertainty in the market that saw the USD bears trample the bulls.This I viewed as a fantastic test for the Stormy indicator, with a two week period of mixed market action, so I put it to the test,

Hi all,I thought it best to outline the things I do and don't provide with the Yahoo analysis service that started a couple of day's ago. With the influx of subscribers, I think it is best to set in place the general procedure of what I am and am not capable of doing, so here we go:Do'sI do provide my thoughts on the market now and then throughout a trading day, almost always before the opening

Anyone who has chatted to me or written me emails will know that one of my big things is stop losses and the importance of them. I have many a debate about the topic, a classic conversation would go (usually from the same trader a couple of days in a row):TraderJoe: Akuma ... do you think the EUR will rise today?

Good afternoon and happy trading day to all,As most of you are probably aware, I announce my trades live in a chat room on the Marketiva trading platform, and have done so since around November last year. It is something I have enjoyed and I really appreciate the kind words (and the not so kind ones) from those that hang around in the shadows of the Australia room. I never started the live trades

Hi all, Time to do a round up of the two pair I was watching and wrote about here this week now that the trades are closed. First the weekend wonder on the GBP/USD I wrote about on Sunday, where we saw a confluence area that I saw as a strong resistance point to any further moves up. Here is the chart again as it was Sunday:GBP/USD 4H (Sunday 15/01/06)The confluence of the daily trend line,

Hi all,A quick follow up to the USD/CAD Triangle formation I mentioned yesterday (see that article here). Well a breakout did occur yesterday as I thought, but it turned to be an upside break of the descending triangle rather than the downside break I anticipated, unfortunately I was not online to take advantage of the breakout of the formation. The move upwards failed to break resistance at

Hi all, time to climb back upon the soapbox,You will remember I let you all know the reasons why I trade last month in an article you can read here. I thought it was important I wrote this publicly for two main reasons, one, so you all get an insight into what makes me tick and my true motivations, and two, to remind myself why I got into this caper in the first place.

Hi all, hope yesterday was a good trading day for you all,Just looking through the charts this morning, I came across what looks to me a very simple setup, yet what can be a nice profitable trade. The setup is on the 1H USDCAD chart, so let's have a look:USD/CAD 1HFirst some background, the Canadian dollar has been a well defined downtrend since the 18th of May last year.

It was brought to my attention that the inputs were not available when people LiveUpdated their metatrader as well as some other display bugs.I have worked on those tonight and have released a new version for anyone who wants it that has ironed out

Hi all, and I hope your weekend has been a good one!Doing my usual review of trades, and charts for the upcoming week, I thought I would jot down some thoughts on a set up possibly approaching on many traders favourite pair, the cable, or the GBP/USD. For those that don't trade it, it is my favourite simply due to it's volitility, with daily ranges on the cable usually being greater than most

Hi all! and welcome to the first in a series of articles I am calling "Trading Tools", where I will look at bite size pieces of technical analysis that might help you in your trading. I don't intend these to complete trading systems, but rather different ways you can use the many tools that are out there to help you in your trading system development.I will start things off with Fibonacci

How long have you been trading? If you have been trading any more than a few months, chances are you have gone through many cycles of trading systems, timeframes and strategies. You have probably tried multitudes of different indicators, stop loss strategies, entry signals and alert services, and more than likely you are still trying new indicators as they are released by Joe Blog in a forum

Good afternoon all and I hope you are having a great weekend!It has been a while since posting my last theory article, so let's get back on the bandwagon and talk about the trading and compounding. I think it is most traders dream to be able to escape the rat race, tell your boss where to go (that's if you don't like him/her of course) and let you trading skills lead you on the road to riches.

Hi all,Are you one to set New Years Resolutions? Personally I like to set them, but make sure I don't write them down, that way, when the end of the year comes, when I have done none of them, I don't feel so bad cause I have forgotten them :), kind of silly I know. This year, however I am making a change, time to take some responsibility for them and jot them down, so here are my trading

You can see my results from trading Stormy last week by clicking here >>This was of course an experimental week with Stormy being so new ... but some pleasing results anyway. The smaller profitable trades were generally trades where I sold at the top of a cloud, and bought at the bottom. The larger profitable trades were usually breakout trades when the clouds darkened.Happy New Year everyone! ..

Hi all and I hope you all are having a profitable week.First of all sorry to all those that are not interested in the Stormy indicator, I promise to get back to some Theory articles and live trading in the New Year.I have had an astonishing response to the Stormy indicator, all positive which is fantastic, but with that has been many requests on a guide on how to trade the clouds.

Hi all,I hope you all had a fantastic Christmas and are gearing up for a bright and happy New Year. Due to excessive Christmas Pudding consumption, I have done very little work on the Stormy indicator over the last few days, however, as a Christmas gift, I have decided to make the early version of Stormy available to you all to play around with.This version of Stormy is the version before I

Hi all! and Seasons Greetings to all those that celebrate it!Stormy, bless it's cotton socks, is coming along nicely, to the point now that the clouds are finalised, and instead I am working on the different ways to trade it. In trading of course there are several types of price action, some of these are:Trending action, where there is a clear direction shown, with small retracements before

Hi all!! and I hope your trading days have been profitable ones!Wow what a few days, delving completely into the Stormy indicator, it has been an interesting experience to see if I could get an indicator together that would be profitable, easy to use and based on direct price action and volitility rather than averaging this, smoothing that etc.Things are close, and I am starting to think that

Hi all,Just a quick update as we approach the end of today's Asian session. This morning was Stormy's first live run on the markets, with some pleasing results. At the moment I only have it tweaked for 15M charts, which are shorter than I personally would like to trade so there is some work to get things happening across all timeframes. The main reason is that there is very little warning of

Hi all and I hope you are all having a great weekend! Well I have not had a lot of time this weekend to do much back testing on the Stormy Weather trading system, but I thought I would pass on what I have so far, as well as give you the worlds first screen shot of the system.First the results, in case you don't know, I am based in Australia, so I thought I would do a very quick test on what

Hey all,Sorry for being a little quiet over the past day or two, but I am hard at work seeing if I am able to build an indicator that conforms to my "no indicator" ideals. I have taken the following approach:No complex mathematical formulations on price action, the price itself should tell me what I need to know (and I couldn't be stuffed working out the math ;))Make sure it shows you when to

Greetings!Time to chat about a the topic of the human brain vs the computer in trading. Unfortunately as I am yet to find mine, I have had to go elsewhere for answers, but let's not let that stop us :)The latest quest to build a custom indicator and a trading system to go with it for you all, has drawn much excitement and applause (and that's just from me ;)), with people hoping to find that

Hi all,I am very appreciative of all the comments about this blog (even the negative ones ;)), but I thought I would give you an idea on why I trade rather than how I trade, and perhaps it will get you all thinking along the same lines as well. I feel it is just as important to figure out why you are trading as how you will trade. If you can understand the reasons behind your trading, you are one

Well the response to my attempt to build a custom indicator has been amazing, thanks for all the kind words so far. I have made a lot of progress over the last day, to the point I have a very basic version complete and early testing is, well, very encouraging. It got me thinking about the conundrem I read in many books, on websites and in chat rooms about whether releasing details of an indicator

Hey all,In the spirit of understanding to those that love their indicators, and my willingness to try anything, this week I will be spending my spare time trying to develop a system based on indicators. That's right, despite my feeling that most indicators are a waste of time, I will endeavour to build a system, that I will then detail and post for you all. Here are the rules I will set out for

Hey all,Well a different tone to today's post, having a gripe at the fickleness of the market when it comes to economic news, views and speeches. In case you are a new reader, I trade primarily from a technical viewpoint, as to be honest I just haven't got the interest in the economic news, and the in's and out's of what moves rates. I can think of much better thing's to do than to listen to

Hey all,It has been great getting everyone's feedback on the information I am providing, and of course any live calls I have made, so the thought is now to look into ways we can all get together and share ideas as I need to learn more just as much as the next person. It is becoming more and more apparent that there are many readers that do not use the Marketiva platform, so, the proposal is to

Hi all,Hope you had a good trading day yesterday. Just a quick look back on yesterdays posts on the GBP and EUR and their trangle setups. If you remember, both were nearing the end of a triangular formation, as we waited to see which direction the breakup was to occur. As a reminder, here was the setup:... and now to see if ours suspicions were confirmed of a downside breakout, let's look at the

A very short post to alert you that there is also a triangle formation nearing it's apex on the EUR/USD currently that would be worth watching. Below is the 1H chart:Which way will it go? .. I suspect downwards, but watch for a 1H close outside of this formation.Happy trading!

Hi all, hope you are all having a good rest this weekend after an enjoyable week on the markets. Time to look back over the week that was and see what happened, what didn't happen, and what might happening in the week ahead. Ok first things first, Live Calls, our best week so far, with a couple of +50 pip trades, really bolstering the numbers, closing the week out at +285 pips, with a around 85%

Hey all,Well we spend so much time working on our trading systems, on when to enter, exit, move stop losses, take profits etc. etc. but how much time do we spend reviewing trades we have placed.

Hi all!I hope you all had a prosperus week on the fx markets and are enjoying your weekend :). This is the first of my weekly summary posts, the daily results posts were proving hard to keep up with a newborn, and with me calling my trades live in the Australia channel of Marketiva, I figured everyone could see for themselves.This week was a week rich in news and economic data, and proved to be a

Hey all, well this has been our first week of Live trade announcements, and all in all it has been a profitable week with a day to go. I must admit it does add some pressure to my trading, as I don't want to mislead anyone, but, in the end it is everyone's independant decision to take or leave any trades I am posting.Yesterday was a dissapointing day on the markets for me personally, with a

Hi all! I hope the markets are treating you all well.First thing's first, sorry to all those waiting for their notification emails, it has just come to my attention that my notification service has not been working lately, I am pretty sure I have that fixed now, so you should be receiving notifications when a new article is posted.

Hi all! Well I have mentioned previously that the only indicator I consistently keep on my charts is an indicator called the ADX, or Average Directional Index (why do they always like using "X" for index .. shouldn't it be "I" ... anyway). I use it primarily to keep me in trades that are moving strongly, and to give me hints on how strong a move actually is.So, considering I talk about it so

Hi all,Well I have succumbed to the requests ;), and I will post my live trades for you all to have a giggle at from today onwards in the Australia channel of Marketiva. Generally, there is a good 15 to 30 minutes before my trades move for or against me, so there is usually time for you to review and decide if it makes sense or not.Again, let me emphasise, I am not a "seasoned" forex trader, and

Hi all, hope the markets are treating you all well. Yesterday proved to be the day the much awaited USDJPY drop happened. Many traders indicators have been showing oversold conditions for some days now, so there were many waiting for the drop to occur. I have included the USDJPY chart below and the reason's why I went short on it when I did, as you can see from my results below, it proved to be a

Hi all! well as they say in that famous movie "it's alive!!", I have re-surfaced from the depths of sleep deprevation to start trading that small live account I was talking about in my last results updated. I took the week off before Monday to give myself some time to try to catch up on some sleep, not that Lachlan knew that of course :)Below is my first live trading day, one of overtrading and

Hi all,Anyone who has traded for a while on the forex markets, will know that major drops and rises in a currency over a 1 hour perioud usually is a result of a news release somewhere in the world. The question that is always around, is how can you trade them, should you use technical analysis (study of charts only), or fundamental analysis (the study of economic indicators and news)?Personally I

Hi all,This is just an extract from some explanation of the 123 theory that was in one of my results postings not long ago. There has been some requests for this info, so rather than remember what results posting it was in, here it is, slightly expanded as a theory article for you all.The "123" method is where you are looking for a change in an existing trend. The beauty of the forex markets is

Hi all,Well today, is officially my last day of virtual trading! That's right, im going live!! Very exciting indeed. My original long term plan for trading was to trade virtual for 6 months, before opening a mini account with a broker (around $300 - $500 US) to trade for another 6 months with, and then move to a full live account. Marketiva however, has given me the opportunity to add another

Hi all,Sorry for the tardiness of me posting my results, I am now back at work, so that with a newborn means my time is very limited! Not limited enough to get in some trades though of course :) which you can see below.Another day confirming my suspicions that my money management is all wrong at the moment, with my losses equalling or at times greater than my profitable trades. However I suspect

Hi all, well a losing day today, with 3 straight losses meaning I called it a day before things got worse. Pleasingly my discipline held, and despite the losses, I stuck with my system. One thing that is evident from today is my money management still needs some work. There are many theories about how to manage your money, with percentages of total account, ratio of win to loss etc. etc. proving

Hi all, just a quick update. A profitable day diluted by a poor trade late at night. Below are the results for the day.Also a quick link for anyone in Australia. This weekend there is a traders expo on in Sydney, followed by the expo moving to the other major cities.

Hi all, today I will talk less on my trades and more on my observations of yesterdays charts and what method would have been good to trade them. I had very little time to trade yesterday, and so, instead I spent an hour this morning looking at what happened, and where things might be going in the next few days.The end of the trading day yesterday saw some good moves that could have brought a nice

Hi all,An active day on the markets yesterday, with a few more trades placed. It was a day of where, if you use the simple technique of channels, you could have really picked up on some nice trending behaviour across the board.Below is an example of what I am talking about:This is the NZD/USD from yesterday, but I could have picked many more of the majors with the same behaviour. You can see

Hi all,Well Lachlan is starting to settle, which meant I could spend a little time on the markets today. A good day, despite only the two trades for the day. I am pleased I am remaining patient enough to get the right trades, rather than trading just for the sake of it.I have found the Stochastic indicator one of the few indicators that are of any use to me, it comes standard to most charting

Quick update, bub crying ;) ... a small profit today thanks to a smart stop loss on a losing trade. The -18 trades could have been so much worse as the markets reversed quickly.Today's result: +4 pips | Overall: +513 pips

The first day little Lachlan was home, so didn't get much chance to look at the markets, however, managed to get one trade in for a profit. I can't give much opinion on the markets at the moment, as I am not really looking into "why" things are moving, instead just reading the chart patterns, which is what many consider to be a true technical approach.Here is the one trade, and a mandatory baby

Hi all ... no trading on Friday as our first child was born!! A healthy little boy, and I couldn't be prouder!! Mum and bub are both doing great, and they will be home tomorrow. So here is little Lachlan Collis Jowett ... he should be trading the markets in a week or two ;)

Hi all again, nothing on the bub front yet :) stubborn little thing ;). On the upside it meant another day of trading yesterday. Once again a day trading of the 4H charts, using essentially the same skills and methods I use on the 15M charts just ..... slower ..... and it so far has proved successful anyway.A day where the EUR came under some selling pressure, and a breakthrough through the

Hey all,Well bub is a day overdue ;) ... come on bub hurry up! Anyhow back to the trading day, as mentioned briefly before, I am looking at holding some longer term positions now that life has got busy and I am unable to monitor my trades as closely. I am trading now off 4H charts, and once in a trade, I monitor the trade on a 1H chart, meaning a lot less back and forth between the computer, and

Hey all,First of all, very sorry about the lack of updates the last couple of days, but would you believe TODAY is the due date of baby Akuma, but of course, I would not be writing this if it was on it's way ;). My trading activity has been very low lately, but Ill be sure to post at least the results soon, but instead, I thought I would put together a new theory article for you all, this time

Next in the series of catchup posts ... here are the results from the 7th. Yep you read that right ... one trade was a disaster of -178 pips!! ... the result of placing a long term trade and forgetting the stop loss just before a big move in the opposite direction, so what should have a been a good day turned out to be a losing day, if ever there was a case for stop losses, that was it :)Today's

Hi guys! Well a false alarm with the wifes pregnancy yesterday saw me trade for a grand total of 30 minutes during the day, so I can't provide too much insite into anything from yesterday unfortunately. So Ill keep it simple, here are the two trades I did manage to get in:They were quick trades (as shown by trading on the wrong desk ;)) on the opening of London as I missed my favourite time which

Hi all, well the due date for bub is only a week away so the nerves are starting to settle in. It also means I may be a little more quiet this week, but I will do my best to keep you all updated as much as I can. Ok Friday, a "tired" day for me, but a day that still saw more green than red so that is a good thing :)Most of my pips was made on the opening of Europe again, it is now officially my

Hi all! ... back again ... a short update today as I am pressed for time :). Yesterday continued my good run recently with another profitable day. I traded very short hours yesterday, only looking for some quick profits at the the opening of Europe, and the quarterly announcement of the US GDP (Gross Domestic Product) figures at the opening of the US session.Now when I started out in the forex

Hi all! and I hope you are all having a good start to a new trading day.I am sure there will be many people who made a lot of money yesterday, with some very good runs establishing around news events, one notable one being the increase of oil prices, combined with with some underlying weakness in the USD later saw the USD dropping against all currencies late in the US session.
