A question asked by both professional and private traders alike I have been training traders for around 15 years and perhaps the most frequently asked question of all goes something like: "What parameters do you use for your moving averages?" My sincere and honest response is that I don't use any in my analysis and if I did there is no such thing as an optimum parameter … except in hindsight. However, hindsight is not much worth to us right now. |

What are Seven Key Areas that You Need to Work on to Become More Self-Aware? In my work with traders and investors I believe the most significant work that anyone can do to increase market returns is self work. Really understanding yourself and how you think can give you an edge that others in the market don't have.
As part of my Super Trader Program, I give a long questionnaire to each trader to do an evaluation of themselves. Some of the feedback that I get is that taking the test is like doing a Ph.D. program! It's that involved.
I consider the ten questions that I give my Super Traders to be the essence of this self-evaluation process— a minimum starting point for this type of work.

USDJPY:
The Dollar Yen trade, also known as the “Carry” has become a measure for risk appetite. There are several types of buyer in the market. You have buyers who believe what they are buying will appreciate and you have those who borrowed, or shorted a currency and now wish to buy it back to cover their short. Regardless of the reason, buyers drive price appreciation. However, buying to cover, is vastly different from buying to hold. Buying to cover is a means of removing risk from one's portfolio whereas shorting is a statement of risk taking, or reentering ones original position. Very often, when a reversal in sentiment occurs in a short time period, a chart pattern develops to help guide a trader with respect to entries and exits. On the chart below we see risk aversion followed by buyers returning to the market as they view the market to be oversold. Risk taking returns to the market and sellers create new weakness (in the JPY) as traders rush to get back into their original position. What we just described is a pattern known as a Head & Shoulders formation.
