Forex Trading Review morning

Forex trading morning

Morning Forex is simple but very effective use of the Forex Trading System, Fric Mark, a full-time trader, every day, to run the market.

Not a lot of foreign exchange to buy a program or system, but hitting the eye, because it would open a unique trade area long before the London market (to get the opening price movements), which I always find time foreign exchange trading day which is more profitable.

So I leave more detailed information about Morning Forex Trading System.

Exactly what you need on your computer (or earlier) at 06:30 (Spanish time), go to the transfer of your chart and see if there are terms of trade (identified two common technical indicators). If they agree that most of the time, and only open a long or short positions in the initial screen at the 6:30 position, depending on whether it is a good indicator is above or below a certain level.

Morning Forex Trading System for only GBP / USD currency pair and the target to get 40 points in their respective trading stop loss 40 points. So, if you put your effort, you know the target of 40 points and stop loss, if you turn on your computer for the rest of the day and something else.

I bought this program yesterday, but I do for a lot of testing back and seems to produce more winners than losers. Mark my knowledge, these results suggest that the waves continue to users since January 2009 is the initial stock for $ 500 has now grown to $ 26,000 (2% risk per trade). Very impressive gains this year, with revenue per month (80-40 pips).

What I like about this system is that morning clearly Trading Forex Trading System Mark himself and his notes on the daily trade magazines. You can access your journal when you buy and of course you can access the forum thread where fellow traders to discuss the details of the system.

This is the most important part of the program for me, because some traders buy systems that have worked hard to ensure the survival of the trading system works to improve further. At this writing, there is an interesting article about who is there for a license, a variety of back-testing (several years) and found to yield a target price of 27 pips (not 40) the results are even more impressive.

So overall I think tomorrow Trading System Forex Trading System, can be highly successful and profitable, and certainly one to add to my arsenal.

Japanese yen has over crisis

Currency crisis is symptom of the general reluctance of the State, after the turn of boom and bust of the 1980s

It is the economy of mourning wolf.

To slowing growth, deepening of deflation, a mysterious rise in the yen and in late August with Japanese politicians dare to promise action. Governor Masaaki Shirakawa, Bank of Japan came home from Jackson Hole, Wyoming, to deal with emergencies. Investors prepare for aggressive intervention. Media mobilized on August 30 to meet with Prime Minister Naoto Kan economic programs launched to counter the effects of fat press export yen strength. Then nothing.

meaningful effort to produce a failure, what the Japanese did not want: a strong yen, which is 85.2 per dollar on August 23 went to 84.4 in September. Suzuki Motor chairman Osamu Suzuki, who created a huge export business for a small company with a solid car, talk a lot when he took the money, saying: "I spend everyday thinking."

So, the politicians in Tokyo. The fact that they were confused, slightly above the Japanese suffered the same fate with children Aesop, who warned the crisis, so it is often not taken seriously anymore.

Because of the sliding dollar and euro, the yen by default. Rarely before have so difficult for Japan to control the money. Yen jumps to highest in 15 years, says a lot about Japan in the year 2010. Here are three things to consider about the country of Japan.

Amendment 1) Price of Japan's reluctance to rise, it was. After the boom and bust of the 1980s, the government must get rid of the bank in bad loans, unregulated industry to improve fiscal policy more pro-business, productivity and encourage entrepreneurship.

If Japan had done all of this is currently a more balanced economy and the value of the yen did not mind nearly as much. Instead, Japan chose a Band-Aid, like massive government spending, low interest rates and a weaker yen.

Exchange is an obsession in the year 2000 to maintain a focus on Japanese exports to the large trade surplus. To my great surprise they found that Japanese monetary policy, these countries more than it exports and imports increased, especially in times of crisis, while investors and security. The bureaucrats also learned that the company, even the Japanese people with strong roots in response to stronger currencies. Renault-Nissan Alliance SA, cut, for example, recently increased production in South Korea, Japan as a place of hope in production.

Now, with the glacial pace of change, the global importance of Japan's decline. China's economy will surpass Japan officially in August. Moral of this story? "Do not cry about the strength of the yen, to solve the problem," Naomi's report, analysts at Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ in Tokyo.

2) Japan is overwhelmed by the international forces. When the game is a worldwide trend away from the bureaucrats in Tokyo. But the business model works after the war was so brilliant that the corporate elite has not changed. The same goes for the government to remain vigilant against immigration and the empowerment of women to form a rapidly aging workforce.

Carefully the status quo more difficult to get upright. the trade surplus are also several economic reasons for the case of the yen climbed 28 percent against the dollar since early 2008 Set.

Japan is not fixed a leaky roof at the time of Li shine before the collapse of Lehman Brothers Holdings in 2008. Now the world economy was raining bad news, people, the price to pay. 126000000 so that the people and investors who bought into the hype more than the resurrection of the truth.

3) political paralysis is a loss. Have the money to be used as a reason employers do not live in fear that the sale of the Bank of Japan Yen: This country is more than the previous coordination tool.

Part of the problem is that Japan can not survive in the guide: If a bad election Kan 14 September, 6th Prime Minister of Japan will take three years. "Twenty years after the bubble would be nice, if not expected, at least a sense of urgency," said Nicholas Smith, director of equity research at FXA MF Global Securities in Tokyo. "And a leader must learn from the outside world had enough of their name, life."

This vacuum of leadership in deflation. In July, consumer prices, excluding fresh food fell for the 17th consecutive month. The best way to save less and spend more consumers to secure their future. This applies to business.

Low optimism. Suzuki, for example, more frequent and greater pessimism, talked about today. "I want to listen to Tokyo, we cry," she said. Policy makers do. What do they do their share of the natural world to mourn, even by the Japanese.

In short, the crisis of the Japanese yen is a sign of lack of policies to diversify the economy and making them less dependent on exports

Hypo Real Estate on the slopes Close

Developer to prosecute a 19-acre Snowmass Village, Colorado, the German bank, which exploded after investing billions of projects during the housing bubble


Snowmass Village, Colorado has a host city in 2007 when the German Hypo Real Estate Holding approved the U.S. $ 520,000,000 in loans to more than one billion dollars per year as the infrastructure is completed in Snowmass Base Village. Development Plan offers luxury equivalent of the nearby Aspen.

After a devastating financial crisis for both lenders and developers. Today, these buildings are part of the base affected 19 hectares of the village, where several buildings wrapped in plastic. Hypo, which was confiscated by the German government in 2009, making the developer in July, said the repayment of debt. The developers, a partnership related cos., Westpac Investment Colorado, Balan Stick Partners, a unit of Dubai World, said in August in the countersuit that the mortgage rejection of the "famous" was accused of their duties.

The fate of the body is a microcosm of everything that is wrong, because the bank provided more than $ 8000000000 real estate projects funded during the U.S. housing bubble. "Project Hypo Real Estate's largest and most spectacular in the United States jumped, because the easiest way to grow faster," said Wolfgang Gerke, president of the Bavarian Finance Centre in Munich, where Hypo basis. "Megalomania, brought."

To Evan Denner, who brought us the financial arm of real estate banks, the company has increased to U.S. commercial real estate loans, which increased by approximately $ 8200000000 5300000000 at the end of June of dollars in the year 2004. Projects, including the signs, a luxury condominium and commercial development near Denver, a hotel and residential project stopped in Phoenix. Hypo control of both properties in the last 18 months have been a Real Capital Analytics. It also provides funding for W South Beach Hotel & Residences in Florida, and Trump International Hotel & Tower at Waikiki Beach in Hawaii. Denner, who left in the year 2009, now working at Cantor Fitzgerald. He would not comment.

Mortgage implosion, Germany is the largest bank failure since the Second World War. United States commercial real estate loans is a fraction of up to € 210.000.000.000 (265 billion U.S. dollars) of non-strategic assets "to try to end the mortgage," said Gerke. However, play an important role for German banks and the taxpayers, because of default, foreclosure and lawsuits have been falling. Approximately 67 percent of real estate mortgage loans in the U.S. watch list, or problems at the end of June, the company said. That's up 58 percent six months earlier.

Other foreign creditors give in to temptation for the U.S. real estate market. foreign banks held U.S. $ 35000000000 commercial real estate loans in July, after the Fed's data on the site. More than $ 15000000000 classified as delinquent, which means the bad guys, the standard has been adopted or in bankruptcy, from $ 10000000000 a year ago, says Real Capital Analytics. "European Bank is keen commercial property loans in the United States has increased during the boom," Ben Thypin, analysts said Real Capital Analytics in New York.

Hypo executives have essentially three options when it comes to handle problem loans by Steven N. Kaplan, a finance professor at the University of Chicago School of Business Booth. The loan can continue to monitor and manage your own practice, be sold for money, maybe with a big discount, or a partner in the private entrepreneurs, such as the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. took place. "The Germans realized it difficult to manage their property, but do not want to move through fire sales."
