<p><strong>Have you ever put a trade on after seeing the market run nicely in one direction only to see the market immediately move in the opposite direction? Have you ever waited for a pair to come down to a specific price level that you were </strong><em><strong>certain </strong></em><strong>would hold, only to see the market blast right down through your entry without even caring?</strong></p>
<p>Chances are you’ve done your research and have a strategy for identifying turning points or trends, so that’s not the issue. You’ve been selecting good currency pairs to trade with so that’s not the issue. So what is it? <em>Entries.<span id="more-8729"></span><br />
</em></p>
<p>I want to show you how to make optimal entries for forex profits, but first we need to get clear on two things:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Direction: </strong>You need to align yourself to the overall direction of the market. Price action is very random, especially on the smaller time frames, and you can’t afford to chase every up and down move. Instead, analyze sentiment through your forex price chart or by looking at fundamental news. <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Once you figure out the direction, only make trades in that direction.</span></li>
<li><strong>Objective:</strong> What are you trying to get out of this trade? Are you trying to catch a bounce at a specific level, or to get into the market to ride a trend from the beginning?</li>
</ul>
<h3>Entries for trading the trend</h3>
<p>The objective here is to get in, not so much at the right price level, but the <em>right time.</em> You want to find the setup on your price chart or in the news that most often leads to the beginning of a new trend. Here are some suggestions for entries to achieve maximal forex profits:</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Look for rejection of price from a key support/resistance level.</strong> I define a key level as a level that has marked many significant previous highs/lows in the past or are marked by round numbers (e.g. 1.20 as opposed to 1.1917). I define rejection as price trying to move through it but quickly bounces back and away.</li>
<li>After spotting that price is unwilling to move past a certain level and reverses direction, <strong>look for a continuation of that reversal via large full-bodied candles</strong> on the price chart, <em>preferably supported by a surprise economic data release.</em></li>
<li><strong>Look for price to break the week’s high or low</strong> after the big move described in (2).</li>
<li><strong>Enter on a slight pullback (10-20%).</strong> Often you will see that after price breaks through a weekly high/low with strong volume, it doesn’t pull back much. This is where most traders fail because they want to get in at a “good” price level (a.k.a a “discount”) and wait for price to pull back 50-80% only to realize that the market was done making it’s move and is now moving in the opposite direction and ready to blow right past their stop losses. Here’s a question: <em>Why would you want to wait for price to pull back if you know that price is going to keep going in a particular direction? </em></li>
</ol>
<h3><span style="font-weight: normal;"><a href="http://www.forexcrunch.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/Slide1.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-8730" title="entries and exits" src="http://www.forexcrunch.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/Slide1-450x360.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="360" /></a></span></h3>
<h3>Entries for catching bounces</h3>
<p>Now the strategy for bounces is a little different because we often have smaller profit targets and are trying to catch really quick moves. In this case, we often <em>desire</em> to wait for pullbacks. Here’s a brief entry strategy:</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Look for price to convincingly clear new weekly highs/lows with full bodied candles </strong>(indicating large volume and conviction of the market), preferably supported by a market reaction to surprising economic data (i.e. strong sentiment).</li>
<li><strong>After breaking a level strongly, wait for price to come back and retest that level OR a nearby key level.</strong> As I mentioned above, price doesn’t always pull back a great deal, especially after strong movement. For this reason, you might want to expect a shallow pullback to a nearby key level if price breaks very far away from the previous high/low.</li>
</ol>
<p><a href="http://www.forexcrunch.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/Slide2.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-8731" title="entries and exits" src="http://www.forexcrunch.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/Slide2-450x389.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="389" /></a></p>
<p>There you have it. Two types of entries for two different types of objectives. I hope you find the value in combining fundamentals and technicals together to spot high probability trades in the forex market rather than getting mixed up by the randomness of price action.</p>

<p>Ok, so maybe I exaggerated a bit about you becoming the next George Soros but with these tips you will definitely be able to make a lot of money.<span id="more-8726"></span></p>
<p><strong>1. Only trade it during the U.S European Overlap.</strong></p>
<p>That&#8217;s not to say that you can&#8217;t have success trading it at other times but if you want to make the most of your time then you should only trade from 8am &#8211; 12pm EST because both of the European and U.S markets are open. Also this is when the vast majority of all forex transactions take place and as a result the  market will be extremely liquid so their will be great opportunity for profit.</p>
<p><strong>2. Keep your stops a little wider than with other pairs.</strong></p>
<p>This is the most active currency pair of them all with more people trading it than any other. Because of this it is prone to erratic moves from time to time which could result in you taking a trade and the market moving against you quickly only to turn around and move back in the opposite direction. Because of this you should give your stops a little more leeway as compared to other pairs. Remember to adjust your risk accordingly.</p>
<p><strong>3. Don&#8217;t be greedy.</strong></p>
<p>This is a fast moving pair so you may very well open a trade and find your self in profit quickly only for the market to turn around just as fast and leave you with a loss. Because of this you should lock in profits by closing out half of your position and moving your stop to break even once your position has reached a certain amount of profit. This is what&#8217;s known as a free trade and it ensures that no matter what you will profit no matter what happens</p>
<p>If you follow these 3 tips you will become a more efficient trader of the Eur/Usd. This will result in you making more money in less time and isn&#8217;t that why we trade in the first place.</p>

<p><strong>There is one component of trading that is a necessity if you wish to become a successful trader and that is money management. With proper money management your trading potential is unlimited, without it you will fail. Too many new traders come into this business and focus only on how much money they can make without any attention to what they could lose. These traders may have some success in the beginning, but eventually they will suffer losses that will debilitate their accounts and leave them with nothing. All of their profits will be gone and they will be demoralized. Many of these traders never recover and stop trading for good.</strong></p>
<p><span id="more-8702"></span>Successful traders on the other hand realize that the true goal of a trader is not to make money but rather it is to preserve their capital. A traders number one priority should be to minimize losses not maximize gains because trying to maximize gains will put a trader in a bad position. They will end up risking more money than is safe for their account size and if that money is lost then they will have to work twice as hard to get it back. You have to trade as if your capital is the most precious thing in the world to you. Never open a trade with the belief that you are going to win no matter what because if there is one thing a seasoned trader knows its that as soon as you start to think you are a trading god the market will be sure to remind you of just how human you really are.</p>
<p>So, before you take a trade don&#8217;t ask yourself &#8220;how much can I make&#8221; instead ask &#8220;how much am I willing to lose if this trade goes bad&#8221; and always make sure that number is never more than 2-3% of your account.</p>

<p><strong>Last week saw the U.S. Dollar again trade softer against most of the other major currencies. Also, commodity prices mostly gained, with crude oil gaining 3.9% to close at $78.98 per barrel, with a predictably positive effect on the Australian and Canadian Dollars. Nevertheless, the price of gold closed virtually unchanged at $1,187.80 versus the $1,188.20 close seen the previous week.</strong></p>
<p>As was also seen the previous week in the wake of dovish comments contained in the FOMC Meeting Minutes, last week again saw investors’ unease about the U.S. economy grow considerably, with a sustainable recovery in the United States still seen as years away.<span id="more-8696"></span></p>
<p><strong>Market Concerned About Fed Chair Bernanke’s Comments</strong></p>
<p>Additional U.S. Dollar weakness seen last week came largely on the back of worrisome comments made on Wednesday by Fed Chairman Bernanke. In congressional testimony, Bernanke confessed to having “unusual uncertainty” about the U.S. economy.</p>
<p>These comments exacerbated existing concerns in the markets over a double dip recession in the United States that were fueled by the previous week’s dovish FOMC comments.</p>
<p><strong>Dollar’s Response Mixed Versus European and Asian Majors </strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong>Despite Bernanke’s comments, the Greenback managed to rise by 0.8% against the Japanese Yen after the BOJ indicated that it remained satisfied with its present loose monetary policy stance.</p>
<p>Also, the Dollar was virtually unchanged against the Euro over the week. The Euro fell only -0.1% versus the Greenback after positive — although somewhat questionable — European bank stress test results were released.</p>
<p>Nevertheless, Cable rose 0.8% over the week as the Pound Sterling benefitted from better than expected U.K. Retail Sales numbers, as well as an unexpectedly positive improvement in U.K. GDP by 1.1% over the last quarter.</p>
<p><strong>Commodity Dollars Rise on Higher Oil Costs </strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong>Furthermore, rising oil prices helped strengthen most of the Commodity Dollars, as the U.S. Dollar fell 1.8% versus the Canadian Dollar. In doing so, the Greenback erased most of its gains of the previous week, with the Loonie further assisted in its rise by an across the board interest rate hike by the Bank of Canada.</p>
<p>The Australian Dollar was also up an impressive 3.1% versus the Greenback on the back of renewed inflationary concerns in Australia, with key Australian CPI data coming out this week that could well spark further market movement in AUDUSD.</p>
<p>In addition, the New Zealand Dollar rose 2.2% last week, despite little economic news out in New Zealand. Market makers priced the currency higher most likely in anticipation of another rate hike widely anticipated in New Zealand by the RBNZ in their rate decision to be announced this coming week.</p>
<p><strong>Weekly Recap and Outlook for the U.S. Financial Markets and Dollar – 7/26/2010</strong></p>
<p>The Greenback was under pressure last week, especially versus the commodity dollars which all rose significantly. Strength in the commodity currencies was usually attributed to stronger oil and commodity prices, as well as higher yields and increasing interest rate differentials favoring those currencies versus the U.S. Dollar.    <a href="http://www.forextraders.com/forex-news/weekly-recap-and-outlook-for-the-u-s-financial-markets-and-dollar-7-26-2010.html"><span style="color: #000000;">Read full report</span></a></p>
<p><strong>Weekly Recap and Outlook for EURUSD – 7/26/2010 </strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong>EURUSD began the week on a positive note despite negative news on several fronts, including the E.U. and the IMF suspending talks with Hungary which was urged to cut its budget deficit before being allowed additional access to bailout funds. Also, Moody’s downgraded its debt rating for Ireland to Aa2 from Aa1. In terms of economic releases, Monday saw the Eurozone Current Account showing a deficit of -5.8B, considerably higher than the -3.0B consensus. The rate continued rising on Tuesday making its weekly high of 1.3028 as German PPI increased by 0.6% month on month, considerably better than the 0.2% expected increase.<strong> </strong> <a href="http://www.forextraders.com/forex-news/weekly-recap-and-outlook-for-eurusd-7-26-2010.html">Read full report </a><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>Weekly Recap and Outlook for GBPUSD – 7/26/2010 </strong></p>
<p><strong></strong>GBPUSD began the week trading lower on Monday as the U.K. Rightmove HPI declined by -0.6% versus an increase of 0.3% for the previous reading. The rate firmed somewhat on Tuesday, despite U.K. Preliminary Mortgage Approvals declining to 48K versus a consensus of 52K expected, while Public Sector Borrowing increased to 14.5B versus the 13.2B expected, with the previous number revised upward to 17.1B from 16B. Also on Tuesday, U.K. CBI Industrial Order Expectations declined to a reading of -16, much better than the reading of -24 expected.<strong> </strong> <a href="http://www.forextraders.com/forex-news/weekly-recap-and-outlook-for-gbpusd-7-26-2010.html">Read full report</a><strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>Weekly Recap and Outlook for AUDUSD – 7/26/2010 </strong></p>
<p><strong></strong>AUDUSD gained considerable ground last week as renewed appetite for risk returned to the markets. The pair began the week trading off of its weekly low of 0.8632 made on Monday before rallying ahead of the RBA’s Monetary Policy Meeting Minutes for June to be released the next day. The minutes confirmed that the RBA is committed to controlling inflation, stating that “headline inflation is expected to rise”, and that “the important question for the board at the next meeting would be whether the new information materially changed the medium term outlook for inflation”. This gave rise to speculation of a further RBA rate hike, possibly as soon as the next RBA Monetary Policy meeting on August 3<sup>rd</sup> and focused attention on the upcoming CPI data for Australia due out this week.<strong> </strong> <a href="http://www.forextraders.com/forex-news/weekly-recap-and-outlook-for-audusd-7-26-2010.html">Read full report</a><strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>Weekly Recap and Outlook for NZDUSD – 7/26/2010 </strong></p>
<p>NZDUSD showed considerable strength last week as renewed risk appetite drove the rate higher. The rate started on a soft note with the pair gapping down on the Monday opening. NZDUSD then made its weekly low of 0.7027 before trading higher in the absence of any major economic releases out of New Zealand. The rate then started rallying sharply on Tuesday. <a href="http://www.forextraders.com/forex-news/weekly-recap-and-outlook-for-nzdusd-7-26-2010.html"><span style="color: #000000;">Read full report</span></a></p>
<p><strong>Weekly Recap and Outlook for USDJPY –  7/26/2010 </strong></p>
<p>USDJPY gained overall last week in the absence of any major economic releases from Japan, with the exception of the BOJ’s Monetary Policy Meeting Minutes from its June 14-15th meeting that were released on Tuesday. USDJPY began the week by trading lower initially before then reversing and rallying. The pair made its weekly high of 87.56 on Tuesday despite weaker U.S. housing numbers, and ahead of the BOJ minutes release.  <a href="http://www.forextraders.com/forex-news/weekly-recap-and-outlook-for-usdjpy-7-26-2010.html"><span style="color: #000000;">Read full report</span></a></p>
<p><strong>Weekly Recap and Outlook for USDCAD – 7/26/2010 </strong></p>
<p>USDCAD declined significantly last week, giving back all of the previous week’s gains. The Loonie started picking up steam on Monday as Canadian Foreign Securities Purchases showed an increase of almost 11B coming out at 23.16B, which was almost triple the amount expected of 8.05B and almost double the previous number of 12.36B. The number indicates the considerable interest that foreigners continue to have in investing in Canadian securities.      <a href="http://www.forextraders.com/forex-news/weekly-recap-and-outlook-for-usdcad-7-26-2010.html"><span style="color: #000000;">Read full report</span></a></p>

<p><strong>So you’ve made a couple of bad decisions and took some hard losses, and now you hesitate and let trades go that under normal circumstances you would have taken. This is no way for a trader to behave. In order to be successful you are going to have to develop the proper mindset. Losses are not the end of the world instead you should use them as opportunities for you to learn and grow as a trader. After all sometimes you have to lose a couple battles to win the war.</strong><span id="more-8642"></span></p>
<p>And that’s kind of what trading is. Every time you open up your software and start looking for trades you are entering into a battle with traders all over the world that want nothing more than to take money from your account and deposit it into theirs. A trader’s sole mission is to put more money in their account than they had when they started trading and the only way they can do this is to take it out of someone else’s. Professional traders are ruthless and quick and when they see an opportunity for profit they will jump on it like wolves on a lamb. If you think that analogy is a little extreme I assure you its not. If you want to beat these traders or at the very least join them in the hunt then you are going to have to get over your fear of losing and just trade. You think the best traders in the world don’t lose, well they do but the difference is that they accept it as a part of doing business and quickly move on. They learn whatever lesson the loss taught them and they keep trading, and if you want to be a successful trader then you need to learn to do the same.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Not all investors want to actively trade. Some want to put trust in known, reputable traders that they can follow. In the fifth article in the series about making forex more mainstream, this option is examined.</strong></p>
<p>In stocks, many investors don&#8217;t trade actively. The put their money with a some kind of trust fund and hope for it to succeed. Some of them do a more serious research about the reputation of the funds&#8217; managers, success rate and level risk. Some just get a tip from a friend or go with their guts. In any case, they have a significant level of trust in this investment fund, and they can leave their money there for years. As far as I know, there&#8217;s no such thing in forex trading.</p>
<p><span id="more-8635"></span></p>
<p>The bigger investors go for another option, that does exist in forex: managed accounts. When depositing big sums, an account manager will personally manage client&#8217;s funds according to personalized preferences. Forex managed accounts exist, but it isn&#8217;t a common way of investment. Most people who are into forex, trade by themselves.</p>
<p><strong>Best Forex Trader</strong></p>
<p>Apart from having forex managed accounts become a more accessible option for investors, we need to have easier solutions for small traders. A solution can take the shape of having successful forex traders expose their real trades and let others follow their actions. There are are already a few initiatives in this direction: <a href="http://www.currensee.com/?lead=ev-fc" target="_blank">Currensee</a>, <a href="http://www.fxbees.com/" target="_blank">FXBees </a>and others are in different stages of such solutions.</p>
<p>This is a good direction, but these things are still in their infancy. How can you tell? Well, can you point your finger on the 5 best forex traders? Not yet. When you think of a successful forex trader, the first name that comes to mind is <a href="http://www.forexcrunch.com/serious-regulation-will-make-forex-more-mainstream/">George Soros</a>. This famous investor is famous (or infamous) for making huge moves against the British Pound and cashing in on it. Unfortunately, we can see Mr. Soros&#8217; moves by reading the news only after his moves are complete.</p>
<p>We need normal forex traders, which can lose money, but that all-in-all are successful and transparent &#8211; seeing their actions and understanding their methods. Being able to follow such traders in real time and having long-term positive yields, will sure make the forex industry more mature. The industry needs to open its doors to a new specie of forex enthusiasts &#8211; forex investors who don&#8217;t want to be actively involved in the industry &#8211; people who want to put their trust in known and transparent figures.</p>

<p><strong>Being able to trade and make a living from your own home has many benefits. You avoid commuting, you can set your own hours , and you can work in your pajamas just to  name a few. However there is one great drawback to working from home. A force that threatens to derail your attempts at financial independence and send you back to 9-5 world. And the name of this debilitating force, this scourge of traders is&#8230; Distraction</strong></p>
<p><span id="more-8617"></span></p>
<p>You see when you work from an office there really isn’t much to distract you. There is no couch calling to you telling you to come relax. There is no television begging you to watch it. No children running around or a spouse asking for help with something. However, all of those things and more are in your home just waiting for an opportunity to distract you from what you should be doing and that’s trading. So, with all of these distractions how are you ever supposed to get any trading done? The key is to set boundaries.</p>
<p>You have to create a work friendly environment and that means setting a time and place for your trading. You need to decide on hours when you are going to trade and let the people in your home know that during that time they should  act as if you aren’t in the house unless it is an emergency . This might be hard for them at first but if you stick to it and are firm in the beginning they will get used to it. In addition to setting boundaries with others you also need to set a workspace and tell yourself that when you are working this is your office and to act as if your home is not right outside your doors .That means no leaving, your office to get a snack or to do anything else other than use the bathroom because if you were working a job you wouldn’t be able to just leave and go home when ever you wanted to so you shouldn’t do it now. If you feel like you may want a snack bring it with you when you start trading, because once you enter you trading space there is no leaving until your job is done. This may seem a little harsh but trust me your bank account will thank you.</p>

<p>Trading to suit your personality</p>
<p>There are many reasons why people decide to start trading maybe they view it as a challenge or perhaps they just want to earn extra money on the side. There are plenty of reasons why people trade, but it has been my experience that people get into the trading business for one reason above all others, freedom. Sure the potential to make a lot of money is a great but what really motivates people to start trading is the promise of freedom. The freedom to be able to support themselves financially with out having to give up their time to the 9-5 grind. This freedom is great and with it comes a lot of choices, choices like what market to trade , what time frame,  and when to trade, and it is these choices that help to make trading such a great business, because these choices plus more  all add up to make trading completely customizable to the individual. There are a million and one ways to profit in this business and people have more than enough styles to pick from to find a method that suits them perfectly. Unfortunately most traders don’t realize this and as a result their trading suffers.</p>
<p>You see most people give little thought to the role that personality plays in trading and that is a big mistake. If you were a shy and introverted person then you wouldn’t get a job as a door to door salesman, and if you were a person that craves excitement then you probably wouldn’t want to work as a librarian, so why then do so many people choose to trade in ways that don’t suit their personalities. If your method of trading doesn’t suit your personality you are doomed to failure. You need to ask your self what you are like and then use that to decide how you are going to trade, for example if you like fast paced action and having to make quick decisions then day trading may be for you.  If on the other hand you would rather be off enjoying your day instead of sitting in front of a computer then swing trading may be your best bet. Regardless of what your personality is there is a trading style that will suit you, all you have to do is find it .So get out there and find the trading style that most suits you and own it. And remember don’t trade a market or method just because you think it will make you money , because if it doesn’t fit your personality then your chances of profit are slim, and you can take to the bank .</p>

<p><strong>European debt markets recovered somewhat last week after some relatively successful debt auctions. Also, commodity prices eased, with gold closing the week below the psychological $1,200 level, with a predictably negative effect on the Australian and Canadian Dollars.</strong></p>
<p>Nevertheless, last week saw investors’ unease about the U.S. economy grow considerably, especially in the wake of dovish comments contained in the FOMC Meeting Minutes released on Wednesday which indicated that a sustainable recovery in the United States was likely still years away.<span id="more-8587"></span></p>
<p><strong>Market Concerned About Double Dip After Disappointing FOMC Minutes</strong></p>
<p>Most of the United States economic numbers out last week continued giving signals of a double-dip recession, which was supported somewhat by the Fed’s disappointing FOMC meeting minutes for June released on Wednesday.</p>
<p>Furthermore, given the notably dovish comments in the FOMC minutes and the uncertain state of the United States economy, the U.S. Dollar is increasingly becoming more and more of a hard sell as the economic numbers released last week amply illustrated.</p>
<p>Basically, it seems like only risk aversion and the unwillingness of major USD asset holders like China to see the currency depreciate is saving the Greenback from a real thrashing at this point.</p>
<p><strong>Dollar’s Response Mixed Versus European and Asian Majors</strong></p>
<p>Furthermore, the U.S. Dollar’s performance last week was generally softer versus other major currencies. Greenback sentiment got notable weaker after Wednesday afternoon’s release of the U.S. FOMC meeting minutes for June.</p>
<p>Overall, by the market close at end of last week, the Greenback had lost 2.2% against the Euro, 2.3% against the Yen and 1.5% against the Pound Sterling.</p>
<p><strong>Dollar Rises Against Commodity Dollars</strong></p>
<p>Also, the commodity dollars generally declined after the previous week’s dramatic run up against the Greenback, despite otherwise negative U.S. Dollar sentiment. This was partly attributed to softer commodity prices, as well as to growing signs of a slowdown in the Chinese economy.</p>
<p>The U.S. Dollar gained 2.0% against the Canadian Dollar, which was the primary mover among the commodity currencies. The Greenback was also down 0.9% against the Australian Dollar at the weekly close, but off only 0.1% versus the more resilient New Zealand Dollar, which closed the week virtually unchanged.</p>
<p><strong>Weekly Recap and Outlook for the U.S. Financial Markets and Dollar – 7/19/2010 </strong></p>
<p>The U.S. Dollar turned in another week of mixed results against the other major currencies. The Greenback fell notably against the Euro, Yen and Pound Sterling, although it did manage to rise versus the Canadian and Australian Dollars, and it remained virtually unchanged against the New Zealand Dollar.  <a href="http://www.forextraders.com/forex-news/weekly-recap-and-outlook-for-the-u-s-financial-markets-and-dollar-7-19-2010.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #000000;">Read full report</span></a></p>
<p><strong>Weekly Recap and Outlook for EURUSD – 7/19/2010 </strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong>EURUSD continued its uptrend last week which began on Monday with a series of 10 cooperation agreements struck between China and Germany worth approximately $4.4 billion. The agreements, which included a €124 M green fund, and an M.O.U. on the establishment of Chinese-European eco-parks, were for building a “comprehensive strategy partnership.” On Tuesday, EURUSD made its weekly low of 1.2522 as German ZEW Economic Sentiment came out at 21.2 versus an expected 25.2 and Eurozone ZEW Economic Sentiment, also lower than expected at 10.7 versus 16.8 expected. Also on Tuesday, the Eurozone Trade Balance came out with a deficit of -42.3B versus a -39.3B consensus.   <a href="http://www.forextraders.com/forex-news/weekly-recap-and-outlook-for-eurusd-7-12-2010.html" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.forextraders.com/forex-news/weekly-recap-and-outlook-for-eurusd-7-19-2010.html" target="_blank"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Read full report</span></a></p>
<p><strong>Weekly Recap and Outlook for GBPUSD – 7/19/2010 </strong></p>
<p><strong></strong>GBPUSD continued its upward trend last week after U.K. economic releases indicated that the British economy may be showing some signs of recovery. The week started with Cable trading lower after U.K. GDP was released showing an expansion of 0.3% as was widely anticipated. Also on Monday, the U.K. Current Account came out showing a deficit of -9.6B which was considerably higher than the deficit of -4.5B expected. Nevertheless, the previous number was revised upward to a surplus of 0.5B from a deficit of -1.7B. Monday’s U.K. economic releases also included the RICS House Price Balance which printed at 9% versus a consensus of 20% which indicates a decline in U.K. house prices, and the BRC Retail Sales Monitor which came out with a reading of 1.2% year on year, versus a previous reading of 0.8%.      <a href="http://www.forextraders.com/forex-news/weekly-recap-and-outlook-for-gbpusd-7-19-2010.html" target="_blank"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Read full report</span></a></p>
<p><strong>Weekly Recap and Outlook for AUDUSD – 7/19/2010 </strong></p>
<p><strong></strong>AUDUSD last week gave back some of the impressive gains made in the previous week when the Aussie closed up 4% against the Greenback. The rate started the week on soft note despite Australian Home Loans which showed an increase of 1.9% versus the 0.7% consensus, with the previous number revised upward from -1.8% to -1.5%. Also, the Australian NAB Business Confidence Index declined a notch printing at 4 versus a previous reading of 5. AUDUSD then began climbing despite a report of a decline in copper and iron ore imports in China, Australia’s biggest trading partner.      <a href="http://www.forextraders.com/forex-news/weekly-recap-and-outlook-for-audusd-7-19-2010.html" target="_blank"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Read full report</span></a></p>
<p><strong>Weekly Recap and Outlook for NZDUSD – 7/19/2010 </strong></p>
<p>NZDUSD started out the week trading higher, after making its weekly low of 0.7055 seen on Monday, the rate began rising despite the U.S. Dollar’s strength against other major currencies. On Tuesday, the rate continued higher as New Zealand FPI gained by 1.3% month on month versus a previous decline of -0.7%.    <a href="http://www.forextraders.com/forex-news/weekly-recap-and-outlook-for-nzdusd-7-19-2010.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #000000;">Read full report</span></a></p>
<p><strong>Weekly Recap and Outlook for USDJPY –  7/19/2010 </strong></p>
<p>USDJPY began the week on a solid note Monday trading off of its weekly high of 89.14 in the absence of any major economic releases for Japan. On Tuesday, Japanese Revised Industrial Production increased by 0.1% versus an expected decline of -0.1% while Japanese Household Confidence came out at 43.5 versus a reading of 42.2 expected. While the pair managed a higher close on Tuesday, the pair soon began declining as sentiment in the market turned risk averse. <a href="http://www.forextraders.com/forex-news/weekly-recap-and-outlook-for-usdjpy-7-19-2010.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #000000;">Read full report</span></a></p>
<p><strong>Weekly Recap and Outlook for USDCAD – 7/19/2010 </strong></p>
<p><strong></strong>USDCAD consolidated after the previous week’s sharp decline as the Greenback strengthened against the commodity currencies on increased risk aversion. The pair started the week on a positive note on Monday as the BOC released its Business Outlook Survey. The survey, which began in 1997, revealed that its indicators were at historic lows since the survey began. The Canadian firms surveyed expect growth to decrease over the next year.<strong> </strong> <a href="http://www.forextraders.com/forex-news/weekly-recap-and-outlook-for-usdcad-7-19-2010.html" target="_blank"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Read full report</span></a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>While regulators are maturing with the industry, some of them are still incompetent and traders aren&#8217;t always aware of regulation in forex. Better regulation is essential in making forex more mainstream. </strong></p>
<p>Part of the blame for the financial crisis was on big financial institutions such as Lehman Brothers and AIG, and the lack of proper regulation. The reform presented in the US comes to prevent future cases of misconduct and also to avoid having institutions that are too big to fail. <span id="more-8576"></span></p>
<p>The forex industry enjoyed the financial crisis &#8211; when stocks fell, currencies rocked and became attractive. Forex brokers bloomed while the banking sector was struggling. But popularity doesn&#8217;t mean that the situation is good.</p>
<p>As we all know, there are lots of forex scams, and forex brokers that trade against their clients. And what do regulators do? With chasing and stopping forex scams, they&#8217;re not perfect, but it seems that the nasty ones are eventually caught.</p>
<p><strong>Duties of website owners and of traders</strong></p>
<p>As a website owner in this industry, it&#8217;s also my duty to try to catch such scams, as I reported with the case of <a href="http://www.forexcrunch.com/crown-forex-the-scam-goes-on-now-offering-people-to-start-a-forex-company/">Crown</a>. All in all, many eyes are open for catching scams.</p>
<p>But what about general malpractice? Trading against the clients and playing with slippage and execution isn&#8217;t a rare practice among market-making brokers. And here, the regulators all over the world <a href="http://forexmagnates.com/nfa-audits-gain-finds-many-severe-violations-fails-itself/" target="_blank">don&#8217;t seem to have good answers</a>.</p>
<p>Traders need to check out which brokers are regulated and which aren&#8217;t. It&#8217;s also important to see that the regulating body is a serious and well known one. And even the well known ones such as the <a href="http://www.forexcrunch.com/act-against-the-cftc-110-leverage-proposal/">CFTC are sometimes busy with proposing a tight leverage of 10:1</a>. Will this stop brokers&#8217; malpractice? I don&#8217;t think so.</p>
<p>For the industry to really mature and attract more mainstream traders and investors, we need to know that the regulators are examining the behavior of brokers and <strong>ranking them according to their fairness</strong>.</p>
<p>Serious regulation will send away the risky image and will make currency trading a possible path of investment for solid traders.</p>
