In my trading experience the following two are two of the most valuable techniques that works 90% of the time.

1) Trend line reversals
2) Trend line breakouts.

The above two techniques work very good and I am able to draw the trend lines correctly. But one problem I am facing is when the price reaches the trend line I am not at the system and I am not able to take the trades.

So I am thinking to develop an indicator which will send emails to my iPhone whenever the price touches the trend line. I searched in the net to find out if there are any indicators already there and I got one indicator like that. But it sends emails only when the price reaches the trend line. I also would like to get the emails with the information of whether the candlestick closed above the trend line or below the trend line.The following are the different steps of what I am thinking.

Lets say there is a trend line at the top the chart for the currency pair EURUSD.

1) When the price reaches and touches the top trend line it should send an email saying that “EURUSD – 1hr chart – Price touched the trend line”.

2) When the price touched the trend line but closed below the trend line. It should send an email saying that “EURUSD – 1hr chart – Price touched the trend line but closed below the trend line”.

3) When the price touched the trend line and closed above the trend line. It should send an email saying “EURUSD – 1hr Chart – Good Opportunity. Price broken the trend line”.

The above are some of the points.

So I am thinking of developing this indicator and would like to share this indicator with only some of my web visitors. So please throw your ideas.

Idea of trend line break indicator that sends different emails

The following is the daily chart of AUDJPY as of Jan. 26th around 4 AM EST. If you observe the graph you can see that there is a strong resistance trend line which was broken earlier and now the graph is coming towards the resistance line and now this resistance may act as a support trend line. Moreover the stochastics has reached the oversold region which is below 20. The CCI also reached the oversold region.

I think its a good opportunity to enter a long trade if a bullish engulfing candlestick pattern is formed or a doji with a small or no body at all is formed at this point.

What do you guys think of this?

As most you know one of the most profitable way to trade forex is using divergence. But you may not know what is hidden divergence. (I also don’t know what it is until I read this small ebook).

You can get it for free at http://www.tradeology.com/hidden-divergence-a.html. All kinds of divergence is explained in this. Different kinds of divergence using different indicators is also explained. Go ahed and get this small free ebook. Let me know what you think of about all these divergences.

Any one heard of this competition? A competition between the authors of non-commercial expert advisors is going on at http://www.forex-robot-world-cup.com/. Non commecial expert advisors mean expert advisors that are not being sold or marketed anywhere but are solely used by their developers.

The first prize is $100,000. The competition has two phases. The first phase is a screening phase and the second phase is live (real money) trading phase.

In the screening phase 329 authors participated out of which 10 expert advisors are selected for live trading phase. In the screening phase around 320 expert advisors are taken out as they did not do well in a short period of time which is 2 months.

Now there are only 10 expert advisors are left which are already trading on live accounts. You can see the results of the expert advisors on the site. One expert advisor is trading good which made around 160% profit with in the 11 days.

I am not sure if this competion is real or not but it is fun. Go and check it.

I have been trading with FXCM for almost 2 years and recently I got an email from them saying they are offering virtual private server for free. If you don’t know what is virtual private server I will give you a little introduction here.

A virtual private server is another computer which is hosted remotely, which you can use for trading. You can install metatrader application on that and login to that from your computer. You can do trading as your normal way in that computer. You don’t need to install metatrader on your system.

If you are using your system for forex trading then definetly the following are some of the problems you might have faced.

1) Problems with internet connection like low speed internet so that your orders may not execute instantly.

2) If you are using expert advisors for forex trading, you know that you have to leave your system on, all the time as they run 24hrs a day. This will cause your system to heat up and after some time your system may start working slowly. If you are using virtual private server, you can install metatrader on that and also the expert advisors and you can shut down your system. Virtual private servers are really a big advantage for expert advisors.

3) Power problems which stop your expert advisors to work.

The following are some of the advantages of virtual private servers.

1) Remote access – you can login to your platform from any computer and do trading which is very cool. You don’t need to use your system for trading.

2) Faster execution of your orders – Since generally virtual private servers are maintained by big companies who generally have a very good internet connection your orders will be executed faster than from your computer.

3) Expert advisor – As I mentioned above you can install an expert advisor on the metatrader platform account in your remote system, start it and you can shutdown your computer.

4) This is very useful in countries where people generally have a low internet connection speed.

FXCM is offering free virtual private server for their customers who have metatrader account. If you are a customer of FXCM but not using metatrader you can open a new account with them or transer your account to metatrader account to use this private server. If you don’t trade with FXCM but want to use this virtual private server you have to open a new metatrader account with FXCM.

Currently FXCM is offering free private virtual server for 12 months. If you want to use it after that you should be an active trader. Active trader means you should make at least 10 trades per month according to FXCM. You can use any expert advisors including scalping EAs. So if you are an FXCM customer go ahead and take advantage of this.

The following is the AUDNZD daily chart as of Jan. 24th, 2010 around 10 PM. If you observe the graph you can see that it is going in a channel.

1) The chart has reached the upper channel line.

2) The CCI has reached the overbought region and now it is trying to cross below the overbought region (+100 line).

3) Stochastics almost reached the overbought region.

4) Moreover a pin bar formation is formed (a candlestick with no body at all – I call every candlestick with no body as a doji).

Because of the above reasons I think it’s a good opportunity to enter a sell trade. What do you guys say?

Check the following charts.

The following is the daily chart for USDJPY as of Jan. 21st, around 11PM EST. If you observe the chart you can see that there are two resistance lines and the chart has crossed the trend lines with two strong bearish candlesticks. The second one is not completed yet. But if the second one is completed with a strong bearish candlestick I think its a good opportunity for a sell trade. What do you guys say?

The following is the four hour chart for EURJPY as of Jan. 17th around 2 AM EST. There is a CCI indicator I placed below the chart. If you observe the chart you can see that there is CCI divergence. The price has come down than the previous low but the CCI didn’t. This formed a divergence. Moreover the CCI has crossed above the oversold region which is -100 line. So I think this is a good opportunity to enter a long trade. What do you guys say?
