The yen fell against the dollar amid speculation Japan will weaken the currency to support exporters. The yen traded at 79.21 per dollar as of 6:38 a.m. in London from 78.98 yesterday in New York. It was as strong as 78.47 earlier today.
This morning we noticed some gross underperformance in the cross, with the Canadian Dollar price action standing out as Cad rallied across the board, while all other currencies were showing weaker against the USD. With the market dropping sharply in Asia to already exceed its daily ATR, and with no decent fundamental catalyst for the move, we were quite content on kicking off the year with a long position on the cross which was well oversold on the hourly chart. The downside risk initially seemed to be very limited, and with the other Euro/Commodity crosses showing evidence of basing, we initiated the trade. From here, a break back above Friday’s 1.3380 highs will be required to officially relieve short-term downside pressures, but we have already taken advantage of the most recent bounce into the money and have gone ahead and booked some profits while also eliminating any risk by moving our stop-loss to break-even. POSITION: LONG @1.3192 FOR AN OPEN OBJECTIVE; BOOKED PROFIT ON HALF @1.3250; REVISED STOP @1.3192.

Siapa Kata Trade Forex boleh Jadi Kaya?
Sudah pasti ramai yang berasa pelik dengan apa yang saya persoalkan bukan? Namun, pada hakikatnya saya tidak sesekali menidakkan kenyataan yang anda boleh kaya dengan melabur di dalam Forex tetapi apakah definisi kaya itu sendiri? Selesai belajar FOREX hari ini, TT kan duit ke dalam trading akaun anda esok dan bulan depan terus kaya....HAHAHA...berapa nilai Capital yang anda gunakan untuk memulakan pedagangan FOREX anda??? MUNGKIN SATU JUTA (Ringgit Malaysia) boleh jadi...Jika ini modal permulaan anda saya percaya anda boleh jadi kaya itupun jika anda konsisten...
Saya pasti anda pernah melihat di dada-dada akhbar, di blog atau forum yang menawarkan kelas FOREX yang boleh membuatkan anda cair untuk memperlajari FOREX apatahlagi dengan adanya testimoni-testimoni berbunyi seperti berikut:
"Saya berjaya mendapat 200% keuntungan di dalam masa satu setengah bulan"- Azli (bukan nama sebenar) Bekas Pelajar
"Saya berjaya membuat keuntunggan sejumlah USD8730.52 dalam masa hanya tiga minggu"- Yap Ah Meng (bukan nama sebenar) Bekas Pelajar
MEMANG saya tabik kepada mereka ini sesangat kerana:
1. Baru jek abis belajar dah terer sangat!!!... terkedu experience trader nak ikut jumlah diaorang ni buat... 2. Takkan "start up capital USD 400" boleh buat lebih USD8,000 dalam masa tiga minggu beb...PERGHH POWER GILER SIFU DIA...
KENYATAANNYA: Saya ni yang dah lebih tiga tahun bergelumang dengan dunia FOREX dan lepas abis belajar FOREX dulu..KETAQQ!! nak ENTER POSITION takut salah baca trend dan takut rugi duit dalam REAL ACCOUNT nih..Depa tuh kira terer beb baru belajar dah buleh buat profit banyak tu...
Berdasarkan pengalaman yang lalu, saya percaya kini terdapat berbagai institusi yang menawarkan kelas-kelas FOREX dan ramai di antara kita apabila sentuh aja bab FOREX ni pasti percaya bahawa boleh jadi kaya dan kita mesti mengambil peluang untuk belajar walaupun berapa harga kelas tersebut...dan apa sahaja kita belajar semasa kelas itu berlangsung kita seolah-olah sangat memahami tentang teori, strategi yang perlu digunakan dan sebagainya...
Tetapi hakikatnya bolehkah apa yang pelajari dan pemahaman yang kita perolehi di dalam kelas itu kita praktikkan semula apabila kita berada di dalam dunia yang nyata iaitu membuat trading dengan duit yang betul di Real Account bukan di Demo Account?
