Using Technical Indicators

A good understanding of the basic tenets of technical analysis can vastly improve one's trading skills.

When using technical analysis, price is the primary tool. Simply put, "everything is already in the rate." However, technical analysis involves a bit more than simply staring at price charts hoping to find a "yellow brick road" to a bonanza payday. Along with various methods of plotting price action on charts by using bars, candlesticks, and Xs and Os on point and figure charts, market technicians also employ many technical studies that help them to delve deeper into the data. By using these studies in conjunction with their price charts, traders are able to build much stronger cases to buy, sell or remain on the sidelines than they could by simply looking at price charts alone.

Here are descriptions of some of the more widely used and time-tested studies that technicians keep in their toolboxes:

Moving Averages
Stochastics
RSI
Bollinger Bands
MACD

Introduction To Technical Analysis

FOREX analysis is divided into two types: Fundamental and Technical. Fundamental analysis attempts to predict movements in currencies by
examining current political and economic events.

Technical analysis uses historical economic data to predict movements in the FOREX. These two sections will examine the principles of technical analysis and the tools involved. Basic Principles

Technical analysis is based on three assumptions:

1. Price movements are a result of all market forces combined. Things that can affect currency prices include political events, economic conditions, supply and demand, seasonal variations and weather conditions. The technical analyst, however, is not concerned with the reasons for market movement, but rather, the movements themselves.
2. Currency prices follow trends. Many market patterns have been recognized as having predictable consequences.
3. Price movements follow historical trends. FOREX data has beencollected for over 100 years and patterns have emerged over time. These patterns are based on human psychology and the way people react to certain sets of circumstances.
Is Technical Analysis Necessary?
Most FOREX day traders rely heavily on technical analysis and may use fundamental analysis to support their trading strategy. A major advantage of technical over fundamental analysis is that it can be applied to many different markets and currencies at the same time.
Fundamental analysis requires in-depth knowledge of the political and economic conditions of a certain country; therefore it is less likely that any one trader can do proper fundamental analyses on more than a few countries. The beginner trader may be put off by the seeming complexity of technical analysis and wonder if it is necessary for FOREX trading. As with any investment, FOREX trading requires a strategy. Although any strategy is possible, technical analysis is a proven method for predicting movements in the FOREX. Does that mean it’s a sure thing? Nothing is 100% certain, and currency prices are affected by a variety of forces.

This is why many traders use a combination of technical and fundamental analysis to plot their trading strategies. AvailabilityEvery FOREX online broker should provide access to a wide variety of charts for technical analysis. Some charting software is available free of charge while in-depth professional charts may carry a monthly fee. Charts can be viewed by various time scales and provide detailed information about price movements as well analytical overlays.

Charts can be zoomed in to the tick level or zoomed out to see the broad picture over a period of months or years. Charts are updated in real time. FOREX charts may be available on your broker’s web site or may be included as part of their trading software. Before beginning in FOREX trading it is a good idea to become accustomed to market behaviour by following charts for a period of time and studying their movements and learning about trends. Many brokers provide practice accounts that can be used by beginners to place ‘paper’ bids – no real money is exchanged. These practice accounts familiarize the beginning trader with FOREX charts and market movement while at the same time allowing him to become acquainted with the trading software a particular broker uses.

Investopedia Explains Fundamental Analysis...

Fundamental analysis is about using real data to evaluate a security's value.
Although most analysts use fundamental analysis to value stocks, this method of valuation can be used for just about any type of security.

For example, an investor can perform fundamental analysis on a bond's value by looking at economic factors, such as interest rates and the overall state of the economy, and information about the bond issuer, such as potential changes in credit ratings. For assessing stocks, this method uses revenues, earnings, future growth, return on equity, profit margins and other data to determine a company's underlying value and potential for future growth. In terms of stocks, fundamental analysis focuses on the financial statements of a company being evaluated.

One of the most famous and successful users of fundamental analysis is the Oracle of Omaha, Warren Buffett, who has been well known for successfully employing fundamental analysis to pick securities. His abilities have turned him into a billionaire.

FOREX TRADING REVIEW & GUIDE

Forex Canadian trading has interesting values and should be looked uponForeign Exchange is one of the most popular investing markets, and with a proper understanding of the markets and factors influencing it is possible to enjoy great success in terms of returns. A case study which highlights all of the areas and considerations when it comes to Forex investments is not hard to come by- in fact, recent years have shown that even countries which may be overlooked by traditional investors may provide the greatest opportunities when it comes to investment.

A good example of the success that can be had in the foreign currency exchange is that set by the Canadian dollar. Most Americans pay little mind to Canada- it is the big country up North, most of the time it creates no problems and can be a compliant ally. Taking a nation and its economy for granted can be a huge mistake when it comes to foreign exchange, however.

HMN Financial Participates in U.S. Treasurys Capital Purchase Program

ROCHESTER, Minn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--HMN Financial, Inc. (HMN or the Company) (NASDAQ:HMNF - News), the holding company for Home Federal Savings Bank (the Bank), announced today it has successfully completed the sale of $26.0 million in preferred stock and related warrant to the United States Treasury Department. This transaction is part of Treasury’s capital purchase program under the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008. Under the terms of the transaction, the Company issued 26,000 shares of cumulative perpetual preferred stock and a warrant to purchase 833,333 shares of HMN common stock at an exercise price of $4.68 per share.

The preferred shares are entitled to a 5% annual cumulative dividend for each of the first five years of the investment, increasing to 9% thereafter, unless HMN redeems the shares. The preferred stock can’t be redeemed for a period of three years from the date of the Treasury investment, except with the proceeds of certain qualifying offerings of Tier 1 capital. After three years, the preferred stock may be redeemed in whole or in part, at par plus accrued and unpaid dividends. The preferred stock is non-voting, other than certain class voting rights. The warrant may be exercised at any time over its ten-year term. Treasury has agreed not to vote any shares of common stock acquired upon exercise of the warrant. Without the consent of Treasury, for three years following issuance of the preferred stock, HMN cannot (i) increase the rate at which it pays dividends on its common stock in excess of the rate at which it last declared a quarterly common stock dividend, or $0.25 per share, or (ii) subject to certain exceptions, repurchase any shares of HMN common stock outstanding.

Both the preferred securities and the warrant will be accounted for as Tier 1 capital. The Bank’s risk-based capital ratio (the ratio of risk-based capital to risk-weighted assets) was 10.54% at September 30, 2008, which is above the regulatory capital requirements of 10.0% for a “well capitalized” bank. If this additional capital had been included in the Bank’s capital calculation at September 30, 2008, the Bank’s risk based capital ratio would have increased to 13.5% as risk-based capital would have increased by $26.0 million from $91.5 million to $117.5 million and risk-weighted assets would have remained at $867.8 million.

“This investment will further enhance our already well-capitalized position,” said Michael McNeil, President and CEO. “Our ability to meet the needs of our customers and the communities we serve will be further strengthened by these funds. Additional capital should also benefit shareholders by providing funding that should enable us to expand our market share and build shareholder value.”

The Forex Market and Understanding Foreign Exchange Rates

Unlike the stock exchange, the Forex Market (foreign exchange market) is a relatively new player to the investment world.

Today's current Forex market model started in the early 1970's, and today it represents the biggest financial market around, even surpassing the stock market. With trading surpassing $2 trillion dollars per day, the Forex market attracts more and more investors all the time. Before an investor starts trading on the Forex market, he should grasp the fundamentals of how exchange rates work.

Exchange rates
basically, the exchange rate represents the rate of exchange between two currencies. Most currencies are traded, or paired up against the dollar. The five most common currencies traded on the market are the dollar (USD), euro (EUR), the yen (JPY), the British pound (GBP), and the Swiss franc (CHF). Some other currencies that are traded are the Australian dollar, the Canadian dollar, and the Hong Kong dollar.

In the exchange rate or ratio, the numerator represents the quote currency and the denominator the base currency, which always equals one.

Let's say that an investor wants to exchange Euros for dollars. In this case, the euro currency is the quote currency, or how much currency you have to exchange. The base currency is the dollar. The investor researches the current exchange rate (Euros converted into dollars) either on the Internet, through the bank, broker, etc., and then multiplies that amount by the number of Euros to exchange. Let's say that the exchange rate is 1.57959. That means that 1.57959 Euros must be paid to receive one dollar. If he has 1000 Euros to exchange, then he can receive $1,579.59 (1000 x 1.57959).

On the flip side, the exchange rate can also tell the investor how much he'll receive if he converts dollars back into Euros. If he has $1000, he can either divide that amount by the same euro to dollar exchange rate ($1000/1.57959 = 633.07 Euros), or look up the conversation rate for dollars to Euros on the Internet, etc. (i.e. .633072) and multiply it by the amount of dollars to exchange ($1000 x .633072 = 633.07 Euros).
Once the exchange rate concept is understood, the investor can feel more confident in investing in the Forex market.

Forex - What is it?

The international currency market Forex is a special kind of the world financial market. Trader’s purpose on the Forex to get profit as the result of foreign currencies purchase and sale. The exchange rates of all currencies being in the market turnover are permanently changing under the action of the demand and supply alteration.

The latter is a strong subject to the influence of any important for the human society event in the sphere of economy, politics and nature. Consequently current prices of foreign currencies evaluated for instance in the US dollars fluctuate towards its higher and lower meanings. Using these fluctuations in accordance with a known principle “buy cheaper – sell higher” traders obtain gains. Forex is different in compare to all other sectors of the world financial system thanks to his heightened sensibility to a large and continuously changing number of factors, accessibility to all individual and corporative traders, exclusively high trade turnover which creates an ensured liquidity of traded currencies and the round - the clock business hours which enable traders to deal after normal hours or during national holidays in their country finding markets abroad open.

Accounts And Brokers AND Common Misconceptions

A forex trading account is much like other types of accounts you may find at stock brokers or commodity brokers.

Usually there are no commissions involved in forex trading, as brokers are compensated through the bid/ask spread. Although brokers offer tight spreads on forex contracts, as little as 3 pips on the EUR/USD for example, with large volume that can add up to substantial revenue for the broker.
A managed account is structurally the same as a self-traded account, except clients sign a Limited Power of Attorney giving a professional money manager access to trade their account. Traders have trading authority only, they cannot deposit and withdraw funds. The account is always in the name of the client, never give funds to a non-registered individual. Any professional would never accept client funds directly, funds are always handled by registered institution.

When you are investing in forex funds are not leaving the country! You are trading on the interbank market (or off-exchange market) in either case, brokers settle their aggregate positions end of day in a similar method to stock exchanges, debiting and crediting profit and loss to client accounts. It is not as if your funds are being ‘wired’ out of the country and back.
The forex markets are some of the most technologically sophisticated in the world due to their simplicity. In forex there are less issues relating to execution, auditing, and clearing, which enable the software to be designed small and simple. For trading for profit, or for designing automated trading systems, forex is clearly the superior market

Forex trading

Not all people are familiar with forex trading. In fact, most people think that when you talk about forex trading, it has something to do with stocks or bonds. But forex trading is different from stocks or bonds. It involves the trading of currency pairs. Currencies are traded in pairs, and you can’t find a particular currency without a pair. The major currencies being traded are chosen above the rest because they are stable and have a greater value than other foreign currencies. Every time a new comer arrives in the market, the very first ones to take notice of them are what you call frauds. That is why, if you’re new in forex trading, you need to take some advice. It doesn’t hurt to ask for advice from the ones who are already engaged in forex trading. In fact, you can make use of their advice for your own good, and even to your advantage.

Since forex trading is globally available, it is not surprising if there are frauds that are able to infiltrate the financial market. To safeguard people from these frauds, they must be made aware of these growing fact, so that they will be able to protect their trading career.
The opportunities that forex trading provides for different individuals, firms, and organizations is growing rapidly every year. And accompanying this growth is the widespread growth of different scams related with forex trading. But you should not worry because there are a lot of legitimate companies or firms that can help you in forex trading.
The best thing to do is to find these legitimate companies and to stay away from fraudulent ones. However, most new traders fall prey to these scammers because of their savory offers.

Dollar falls on auto bailout stall

The dollar weakened against major currencies Monday - hitting a two-month low against the euro - amid strained auto bailout talk and as a two-day Federal Reserve meeting got under way.

At 1:34 p.m. ET, the 15-nation euro was trading at $1.3699, up 2.4% and the highest since Oct. 15. The British pound rose 2.4% to $1.5309.

Meanwhile, Japan's yen slid to ¥90.66, down 0.77%.
"Once again, we're seeing some fairly widespread pressure on the U.S. dollar," said Stephen Malyon, currency strategist at Scotia Capital in Toronto. "It's a carryover from the trend that began last week, and it looks to be driven primarily by the euro. It's one of the strongest currencies today and it's got momentum."

Speculation that the Federal Reserve will cut key interest rates to the lowest on record on Tuesday, plus the pressure of "a lame-duck president, increasingly at odds with his own party" also pressured the greenback, Malyon said.

Stalled bailout discussions cause uncertainty
The greenback's retreat comes after stalled auto bailout discussions late last week left investors in a state of uncertainty. On Monday, a Treasury Department spokeswoman said that officials were still reviewing information and that no decisions had been made.
President George Bush said last week he would consider using part of the Treasury's $700 billion bailout package for financial institutions to keep automakers afloat in the short term. The U.S. Senate refused to pass a $14 billion rescue package for Detroit's Big Three last week, leaving the Treasury with the decision.

"There's a concern about what will happen if the automakers are not bailed out, but there's also concern about how a bailout would be engineered," Malyon said.
A series of economic reports released Monday also painted a grim picture. Homebuilders' confidence remained at an all-time low in December, and a New York state survey of manufacturers showed a sharp growth in unfilled orders.

Dollar no longer a safe haven?
Currency traders usually view the dollar as a safe haven when the stock market is volatile. But despite relatively subdued trading, the dollar has remained under pressure.
"Given the lateness of the year, I don't see anything coming along to significantly alter trends," Malyon said. "In 2009, we could see a bit of pull-back on the euro. Right now, the story is focused on the U.S., but there's bad news in Europe too. The market shifts its attention to wherever the most interesting story is."

The uncertainty of the auto bailout hit the U.S. "at an inopportune time," Malyon said. "There's a vulnerability in power, and this indecisiveness unfortunately highlighted a lot of our problems.

tops


No trend lasts forever. Inevitably, crowd enthusiasm outpaces a stock's fundamentals and
rallies stall. But topping formations do not end uptrends all by themselves. These
stopping points may only signal short pauses that lead to higher prices. Then again, they
could be long-term highs just before a major breakdown.
What hidden patterns can you use to identify and trade reversals before your competition
sees them? Successful short-term traders get in the reversal door early and allow the herd
to trigger sharp price movement. Familiar trend-change formations, such as the Head and
Shoulders and Double Tops, take so long to develop that many profitable entries pass
before they finally signal an impending break to the waiting crowd.

First Rise/First Failure offers traders an early method to identify reversals following
new highs or lows in any time frame. FR/FF identifies the first 100% retracement of a
dynamic trend move within the time frame of interest. In order for any trend to continue,
price movement should find support near a 62% retracement, measured from the starting
point of the last thrust that pushed price to the new high or low. From this pullback, trend
must base and test its extension before it can break out to further continuation highs or
lows.

Cross-verification rings
a loud bell. Note how
the uptrend line broke
on the same bar as the
violation of the 62% fib
retracement following
this late 1998 AMZN
explosion. The familiar
triangular shape of
First Rise -First Failure
makes identification
easy when flipping
through many price
charts.
100%

100% retracement violates the major price direction and terminates the trend it corrects.
Completion also provides significant support/resistance, where bounce trades can be
initiated with low risk. From this point, continuation trends may reawaken in the next
larger time frame by a new break through the 38% (prior 62%) S/R and continued push
past the 62% retracement, toward a test of the high/low extension.
Bounce reversals represent superb entry points when the 100% violation coincides with a
38% or 62% retracement of the next higher dynamic time frame. However risk: reward
requires careful measurement, as the trade may develop more slowly than expected. In
other words, a successful position must be held through expected congestion at the 38%-
62% zone before it can access a profitable retest of the double top/double bottom
extreme.
Allow minor testing violations for all major Fibonacci retracements before taking
positions. Specialists and Market Makers know these hidden turning points and conduct
stop-gunning exercises to take out volume just beyond the breaks. And watch out for
trend relativity errors. Bull and bear markets exist simultaneously through different time
frames. Limit FR/FF trades to the time frame for which the retracement occurs unless
cross-verification supports other setups.
Every popular topping formation has its own unique pattern features. But all tell a
common tale of crowd disillusionment. Whether printed in the manic highs and lows of
the Head & Shoulders or the slow capitulation of the Rising Wedge, the final result
remains the same. Price breaks sharply to lower levels while unhappy shareholders
unload positions as quickly as they can.

Early in a rally, value and improving fundamentals attract knowledgeable holders. But as
an uptrend develops, the motivation for new participants becomes vastly different. News
of a stock's rise generates excitement and attracts a greedier crowd. These momentum
players slowly outnumber the value investors and stock movement becomes more
volatile. The issue continues upward as this frantic buying crowd feeds on itself well
beyond most reasonable price targets.
Both fire and ice will kill uptrends. As long as the greater fool mechanism holds, each
new long allows the previous one to turn a profit. Eventually changing conditions force a
final end to the upside action. A shock event can suddenly kill the buying enthusiasm,
forcing a sharp and immediate reversal. Or the trend’s fuel just runs out as the last
interested buyer enters one last position.

Many traders mistakenly assume bulls turn into bears immediately following a dramatic,
high volume reversal. They enter short sales well before the physics of topping and
decline rob the crowd of its momentum. In fact, these early shorts provide fuel for the
sharp covering rallies seen in most topping formations.
Skilled traders wait and measure the process of crowd disillusionment before they enter
large short sales. Decline characteristics can be predicted with great accuracy using
pattern analysis. While they wait, the repeating character of the topping event provides a
natural playground for swing positions.
