  1. FOREX VIDEO - London Session Review - March 2, 2010

    by , 03-02-2010 at 10:59 AM (FX Bootcamp Blog - Video FOREX Trade Journal)
    After the bottom fell out from under the British Pound yesterday, it allowed us to hit long term resistance on the EUR/GBP Weekly/Daily charts. and very well extended past the Daily Bollinger Band/5 ema. This left us in a situation where we were looking to build trade plans on any clue of a pullback type trade.

  3. News in 60 Seconds: Australia raises interest rates while Canada holds rates steady!

    by , 03-02-2010 at 09:42 AM (News in 60 Seconds)
    Biggest % gainers: AUD/NZD up 0.85%, AUD/USD, AUD/JPY, AUD/CHF on mild AUD strength after their 1/4 point rate hike last night.

    Biggest % losers: USD/CAD down 0.80%, EUR/CAD on mild CAD strength. While they kept their rates steady at 0.25% as expected, their economic data has been strengthening some lately and that's lending some support to the CAD. Also, with oil still hovering around $80, it's helped the CAD sentiment as well.

    CAD BOC says inflation is still above forecast.
