Who Needs A Trading Plan?
One of the greatest tools that a trader can use is a trading plan.
A trading plan is similar to a map. It will help us get to our goal.

I have made a couple lists with some criteria that you can maybe use to evaluate and construct your trading plan.

15 Questions To Ask Your Broker
How Well Do You Know Your Broker?
As we go about our trading business from day to day, we probably do not pay much attention to the qualities of the broker we use.
We have little or no idea as to where their office is, where their bank is, or how safe our funds are.
We do know that the broker has a fancy website that promises all sorts of good things, and we have no idea if any of it is true.

Gold Analysis As At January 8, 2016
Which Direction For Gold? What Analysis Is Best?
With the Gold price closing today at approximately $1,104.00 many people are starting to wonder the longer term direction. There are bearish and bullish factors to be included in any analysis.
The Federal Reserve is scheduling rate increases for 2016 and those may be bearish for the Gold price.
"The United States continued to import large volumes of gold jewelry in October," Erica Rannestad, senior analyst of precious metals demand at GFMS, said in an email late on Wednesday.

CCI Scalping, Revisiting the CCI SlingShot
A few months ago I mentioned The CCI Slingshot and there seems to be quite an interest in this trading strategy.
This formation is quite common on several time frames and can be made to be profitable with adherence to some rules.
This is a trend following trade and is used for a continuation entry.

Another Simple CCI Scalping Strategy
CCI makes an excellent scalping tool, especially if you can be patient enough to wait until a divergence shows up.
To make this a little more reliable you can add a RSI indicator to the chart and check for divergences with it also.
In this example we can use CC!7 and RSI7 and that is about all we need to locate Regular Divergences.
Keep in mind that Divergences do not always work, Stop Loss is essential.
For this type of trading I use a 15 minute chart.
Here are three examples that you can have a look at and then adapt your trading style to suit.
Again, a Stop Loss is necessary. and definitely do not ‘Bet the Farm’ using this type of method.
CCI Divergences to Have a Look At January 4, 2016
Here are some current regular divergences you may be able to take advantage of.
I like to use the CCI regular divergences to find trend reversals, they work out much of the time.
Probably you will want to confirm by using other indicators or approaches.
Here are four charts that I located with regular divergences at this time.
There may be some opportunities with these, and certainly more CCI Divergences will appear as the day passes.
Good Trading!

EURUSD As At January 4, 2016
The EURUSD pair has been in a decline for a while however as the market opened today there was a slight rise as you will see on this 60 minute chart.
A lot is unknown about the direction although many people seem to be bearish as you will see in the articles I have listed below. There is a lot to consider based on the Middle East situation, interest rates in the United States and the general world economy which has not shown much in the way of advances in recent months.
The oil market is hampering many of the major economies and it seems that oil is going to maintain a depressed price level for months to come.
As the US economy continues to improve, the Dollar is rising and putting more pressure on the Euro.
Here are some comments which offer varying opinions:

Gold Price Analysis As At January 4, 2016
How Do We Determine Gold Price Direction?
The Gold Price is difficult to forecast at this time as there are many factors in play.
Gold has been trading quietly recently and any gold analysis is going to have to be a bit speculative as no direction has been established except for bearish.
Recent developments in the Middle East have triggered a rise in the market today, we will have to wait to see if it is going to be significant.

Canadian Dollar Update As At January 3, 2016
Of course the Canadian Dollar is feeling the effects of a failing economy based on someone’s dream about becoming a petrostate.
One interesting thing about petrostates is that in most of them poverty abounds.
Another interesting thing is that most petrostates are dictatorships.
And Canada was headed that way until the recent election that saw the fanatics removed from power.
Canada has a long way to go to recover from ten years of mismanagement, the current oil price has damaged all of Canada.
Here are some recent articles offering various opinions as to the future of the loonie:
