Choosing a Short-Term Strategy with FSA Posted: 02 Nov 2009 05:34 AM PST First of all, before we get more into details let me just restrict myself. It is impossible to have a 100% control on the FSA account. The reason is very simple, when you choose to have strategies trading for you; you forfeit your right to control what’s going on. Despite all the above, there are still many things you can do in order to adjust the strategy to your needs. Let’s try and figure those out: 1. If I want a short-term strategy, then by definition my greatest concern is how the strategy has been doing recently. So when I need to sort the strategies’ Time Frame, I choose “Last Month to Date”. 2. Then, naturally, I look at the Profit ($) factor. Just like any aspect of life, it is recommended to follow the winner. It can’t promise us that the strategy will continue to see profits, but it’s for sure the best alternative. 3. Now, you have to make the first difficult choice – sort by Max DD. Max DD means Maximum Draw-Down, which means what was the worst losing sequence in losses for the system denoted in pips. In general, the first thought that comes to your mind is that you want the Max DD to be as low as possible. However, bear in mind, that strategies which were built for short-term profits, are also exposed to large quick loses, which means that their Max DD could be relatively high. Take this under consideration upon choosing a strategy. 4. Remember, the major currency pairs don’t tend to fluctuate harshly on a regular basis. This means that if you’re looking to see large profits quickly, you should consider using strategies that trade the more exotic pairs such as GBP/CHF, GBP/JPY, EUR/CAD, etc… 5. One last thing before we say goodbye. Some of you may not be aware of this, but you are perfectly capable of closing a position manually. If you wish to see quick exits, but the strategy doesn’t “obey”, don’t hang on and wait for the system to close it – close it by yourself!

Platinum Prices Reach New All-Time High Posted: 13 Jan 2011 06:01 AM PST Momentum is behind the bullish move as the price of platinum climbed to a new record high. Daily stochastics that are free from divergence show more gains could be in store for the commodity. The previous all-time high of $1,809 was broken today as the price of platinum has moved as high as $1,826. With a 4-day rally causing daily momentum to push higher, traders may expect further gains in the commodity. Also supporting more long term gains in the commodity is a lack of divergence on the slow stochastic oscillator. The previous all-time high in early November coincided with rising stochastics that topped out at 79. Today's all-time high has stochastics currently at 92 and rising. This bodes well for potential future gains in the commodity. Supports for the pair begin at the previous all-time high of $1,809, followed by $1,787.50, $1,665 and 1,628 also stand out as long term supports levels. The rising trend line off the August low should also provide support.
