Has the Euro Gone Too Far?

Posted on by The INO.com Team

We ended 2009 with the overriding consensus that the dollar was going to be under pressure and keep moving lower against the euro. Well guess what, the euro proved to be even weaker than the US dollar as it moved to levels not seen since May of 2009.

So what happened? Was conventional thinking wrong, or did the market get it right? We may be at a tipping point where conventional thinking could well be wrong again.

In my new video I share with you what I see in the euro/dollar cross right now.

As always our videos are free to watch and there are no registration requirements. I would really like to hear back from you, with regards to your thoughts on this cross-rate. Your comments are welcome on our blog.

All the best,

Our Stand In Key Markets at the End of February

Posted on by The INO.com Team

I thought that our Trader's Blog readers would like to know where we stand at the end of February in some of the key markets that we track with MarketClub's Trade Triangle Technology.

Gold -- neutral

Crude Oil futures -- long

Indices -- long the Dow, SP500 and NASDAQ

Euro -- short Euro, long dollar

As we head into March and the beginning of the end of Q1, I believe we'll see some interesting moves in the above markets.

We have discussed this before, but I would like to again touch on market perception. If you remember, the US dollar was going to continue to trade down. That did not happen as events in Europe drove the euro down and the dollar was once again perceived as a safe haven. Once again perception trumps over the market.

The equity markets continue to remain in a positive trend, however the seesaw action of the last week or two in February indicates that there is a tremendous amount of jousting between the bulls and bears.

Crude oil remains positive based on our "Trade Triangle" technology, whereas gold at the moment is neutral.

It is going to be an interesting month in all four of these markets.

All the best,

P.S. The above positions are based on our Trade Triangle Technology and  can change and should not be perceived as written in granite.

===================================================================
Trading the Forex markets is risky business, make no mistake about it.  As a trader, if you do not pay attention to risk first and foremost, you will lose, plain and simple.  There are at least two key aspects to managing risk.  One is the placement of stops and the management of the trade as it unfolds, and the other is the position size of the trade relative to the trader's account size.  If either one of those is not handled properly, the trader will lose in the end.

The good news is that both can be managed to the trader’s advantage resulting in minimizing losses and providing the opportunity for great profits.
