G’day Traders, Well, we had another quiet day on Friday as the market prepares for Tuesday’s and Wednesday’s announcements. Some believe the results of the mid-terms, giving Republicans control of the House, would be a good outcome and see the markets rally. The market has always performed better when the President is a Democrat and [...]

G’day Traders, Well I always said that September brings big moves, but I didn’t really expect it to happen on the 1st of the month. Last night we got some significant moves, but before we get the really big moves, let’s review the last few days as they can provide an invaluable lesson for many [...]

G’day Traders, Today will be a little different. I am going to be a little tough on you because I want you to make money. Then I am going to show you the amazing possibilities of a falling market. You are not going to make money by switching products that look like they are doing [...]

G’day, Today I woke up in Sydney as I am doing a course here over the weekend – something I am really looking forward to and am disappointed as it will be a once only event. However, it’s a good time to be positive and relaxed about trading. Nothing much happened overnight, so in my [...]

G’day Traders, It’s not the most magical morning on the Gold Coast today. It seems cold and windy outside – the perfect day to sit by the fire. But the markets produced what is expected after a US holiday – they came back refreshed and with their collective minds wiped of all the negative news. [...]

G’day Traders, The weekend can’t come fast enough for me. I am looking forward to doing nothing for a couple of days. Hopefully I can get a surf in – it’s been a while. For Forex traders the min for the NZD is now 40,000 – that’s the smallest size you can trade – we [...]

G’day Traders, Last night I got home from playing soccer and watched a bit of TV. There was some surfing on, but then I watched a bit of business news and checked out what was happening in the markets. Then I saw the pre-open for Corn – it was way up and I was short. [...]

G’day Traders, Today I am getting to this a little late – last night I stayed up again to watch the markets and some football (soccer). The markets were much more exciting. Look, I could give you all these reasons why the market broke down, but hey – many trends continued and you just have [...]

G’day Traders, It was great to be back today and to have Yum Cha with some of the team for lunch. A beautiful day on the Gold Coast and I had a nice afternoon nap after my flight. Tonight I am starting this just before the US opens as I want to watch what happens [...]

G’day Traders, I just got off the plane from Europe. Wasn’t a bad trip and for once getting through Australian customs was relatively easy. Plus it’s a beautiful winter’s day in Brisbane. I didn’t talk about the G20 last week because I didn’t want to confuse anyone. Usually these events have little immediate effect on [...]
