EUR/USD extending gains, now aims to reclaim 1.1200 handle

mTgyrQG.png

US Dollar weakness remained a key theme in the FX market on Wednesday, with the EUR/USD pair extending its gains to currently trade around session high near 1.1175 region.

After dipping below 200-day SMA on Tuesday, the pair recovered sharply as disappointing US labor productivity now seems have dented prospects of an eventual Fed rate-hike in 2016 and weighing heavily on the greenback.

In absence of any important economic releases, broader sentiment surrounding the US Dollar would continue to drive the major until Friday's release of monthly retail sales data from the US. In the meantime, RBNZ monetary policy decision on Thursday might trigger some volatility in the markets and eventually provide some immediate momentum play.

From technical perspective, the pair's rebound from 200-day SMA region has lifted it beyond 1.1150 region (50-day SMA) and is also sustaining the strength at higher levels. Hence, only a turnaround in sentiment would hinder the pair's ongoing upward trajectory.

Technical levels to watch

From current levels, the momentum seems to lift the pair towards 1.1200 handle, which could further get extended towards its next major resistance at 100-day SMA near 1.1230 region. On the flip side, 50-day SMA resistance break-point near 1.1150 now become immediate support to defend, below which the pair could drop to 1.1110-1.1100 support area before heading back towards the very important 200-day SMA support near 1.1080-75 region.

Round 53 of OctaFX Champion demo contest: time to know the winners!



NmgTDLV.png

The results of Round 53 of the OctaFX Champion demo contest are out, so let's meet and congratulate our recent winners who shared the prize fund of $1000. They were happy to give us their insights into their trading methods and successes.
ย 
โ— 1st place with the award of 500 USD goes to Mr. Indra Sakti Laksana from Indonesia.
โ— 2nd place with the award of 300 USD goes to Mr. Ibnu Hajar from Indonesia.
โ— 3rd place with the award of 100 USD goes to Mr. Budiman from Indonesia
โ— The last place is Ms. Insana from Indonesia who has won 100 USD

To gain some more insight and tips -ย  just read the following interviews from our successful traders!

1st place: Mr. Indra Sakti Laksana from Indonesia

I am very happy to be a winner with OctaFX. I do not spend a lot of time trading, but it takes a lot of concentration to keep up with all the participants. I will take part in every contest whenever possible to practice and focus more. Within trading I use a combination of various analyses of the current price conditions. I have not experienced anything spectacular but it depends on the individual trader.

2nd place: Mr. Ibnu Hajar from Indonesia

I am very happy to be involved in the contest although I did not spend much time trading.
In the coming months I want to improve my trading knowledge and experience. My plan is to take part in the contest more often after my recent success to improve my chances of winning. Being disciplined in money management is important to trade well.ย  My advice to help you trade better is that you need to see the bigger trading picture. I did not use many techniques, just the Bollinger Bands (BB). It has taken me approximately two years to develop a good understanding of the best strategies.

Bollinger Bands - this is a member of the โ€œTrendโ€ family of technical indicators within Forex trading. Traders use the bands to anticipate increases or decreases in volatility that can signal trend changes.

Last place: Ms. Insana from Indonesia

My plan is to do better in order to achieve better results. This experience has been a lesson for my trading skills. I normally do not spend a lot of time trading as I do it in my spare time. My most successful trade has been a profit of $1159.20. I used BBMA or Bollinger Bands (BB) when I traded recently. To be a good trader and knowledgeable, takes approximately two years I think.

It just takes a few moments to join our fantastic contest. Just register here and accept the challenge to be in with a chance to win!

EUR/USD consolidates the vertical rise ahead of US data

mTgyrQG.png

The EUR/USD pair is currently consolidating the vertical rise witnessed last hours, with the bulls keeping range in the upper bound of 1.12 handle, as focus now shifts to the US dataflow due ahead of the US open.

EUR/USD at post-Brexit highs

Currently, EUR/USD rallies +0.77% to 1.1269, having posted fresh eight-week highs at 1.1277 post-European open. The main currency pair remains heavily bid, although fails several attempts to take on the recovery further towards 1.13 handle, as the bulls turn nervous heading into the much-awaited US CPI report due later in NA session.

However, the bid tone behind the EUR/USD pair remains intact as the US dollar suffers steep losses, largely on the back of repositioning ahead of the key risk events from the US dockets, viz., CPI, industrial output, housing starts, building permits and capacity utilization rate. The USD index meanders near fresh two-month lows of 94.73, recording a 0.82% loss on the day.

Calendar-wise, we had the ZEW surveys from Germany as well as the Eurozone, with the German headline ZEW economic sentiment coming in stronger at 0.5 in August as compared to Julyโ€™s -6.8 points, however, missed marketsโ€™ expectations of a 2.0 reading.

EUR/USD Technical Levelsย  ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย  ย 

In terms of technicals, the pair finds the immediate resistance 1.1277 (2-month highs). A break beyond the last, doors will open for a test of 1.1300 (psychological levels). On the flip side, the immediate support is placed at 1.1204 (100--DMA) below which 1.1183 (5-DMA) could be tested.

Round 55 of OctaFX Champion demo contest: $1000 for the winners!

NmgTDLV.png

OctaFX Champion demo contest is a real challenge for the real champions, so letโ€™s congratulate the traders of the month who were the best in Round 55! The prize fund of $1000 was shared between the following Forex masters:

  • 1st place with the award of 500 USD goes to Mr. Dejan Kostovski from Macedonia.
  • 2nd place with the award of 300 USD goes to Mr. Yuliantono from Indonesia.
  • 3rd place with the award of 100 USD goes to Mr. Adi Putra Nugraha from Indonesia.
  • The last place is Mr. Zainal Efendi from Indonesia who has won 100 USD

What are their secrets of success and trading experiences? Here are a few exciting stories from our champions!

1st place: Mr. Dejan Kostovski from Macedonia
Being an OctaFX Champion feels great. It feels great to know that, for a moment in time, you were the best at something you wanted.

Usually I trade during the London and the US sessions (and sometimes Tokyo too) always looking for a good opportunity to enter the market. Economic calendar is helping a lot, so my trading is somehow scheduled. I pay close attention to the announcements because itโ€™s quite probable that they may affect the direction of the market. There were a few days when I was very active and trading took a lot of my time.

My focus is mostly on the real trading, but I'd like to continue participating in all your contests - they are all very good. Also, I'd like to win again.

When I saw the ranking just 6 days before the end of the contest, I looked at the Economic calendar and decided to trade during the most probable market-moving events.

I had a plan to take the risk on the last day of the contest to become the winner. So it worked.

To be honest, in this Round of OctaFX Champion demo contest I didn't use any specific strategy. I just traded during the most influential events. Also, to climb the ranking list and to make a big profit on the last day of the contest I had to risk. I tried to anticipate how much EURUSD and GBPUSD will move and scalp all the way down. My most spectacular gain was when the non-farm payroll numbers were announced and the Consumer Price Index numbers came out. I had some loss too, but only once. It was just 20%.

If you ask me for a piece of advice, I believeย  that there is no particular amount of time needed for a trader to become a real pro. Advanced traders say they learn new things every day as they continue to improve, so continuity and consistency are the most important points here. Good traders are those who are able to adjust their strategies and to learn about themselves.

But if I were to generalize, it takes at least 6 months or up to 2 years of active trading to become quite a skilled trader.

2nd place: Mr. Yuliantono from Indonesia
Iโ€™m very happy and proud to take the second prize! I donโ€™t trade too much and too often; only when I have some free time. However, contests have always been appealing to me, I think itโ€™s a great opportunity.
What is my key to success? Patience and discipline, of course. There is nothing more important in trading than patience and discipline. The strategy that I use is based on the shape of the candlestick. I will continue to explore this technique in the future. I also get the greatest profits when the major news are released.
It took me quite a long time to master my trading techniques. I believe one has to practice from 5 to 10 years to become a good trader.

3rd place: Mr. Adi Putra Nugraha from Indonesia
Iโ€™m glad to be in the list of winners! I donโ€™t spend a lot of time on trading in general and on contests in particular, itโ€™s some kind of fun for me, so it was a pleasant surprise to get a prize. Iโ€™m not sure I will participate in any other promotions in the future, but it was anyway great to take part in this OctaFX Champion round. My favourite strategy is to be able to control emotions. Itโ€™s not too easy and it takes some time, but at the end of the day, itโ€™s worth it.

The last place: Mr. Zainal Efendi from Indonesia
Of course, I want to improve my performance! My goal is to beat the other contestants and become the champion in the next round. I got a valuable lesson and I want to try some other techniques next time. Yes, there are some things that I want to repeat again, hopefully they will work better in the future. For me, Buy Limit & Sell Limit are the keys to maintain profits and avoid losses. Talking about time, it takes no less than 3 years to be a good trader, but I guess I have to go on learning and practicing!

OctaFX Champion demo contest offers a $1000 prize fund and an excellent opportunity to test your trading skills without any financial risk. All you have to do is to trade within a month and become the round leader by the finish date!

Dear customers, in addition to the update of trading conditions for US indices due to the coming US President elections we would like to inform you about the following changes in trading conditions taking place from November 7 till November 9th across all platforms and accounts.

Leverage will be lowered to 1:200 for currency pairs and to 1:50 for metals and oil.

Margin requirements will be increased 5 times for accounts with the balance higher than $10000 (or equivalent).
ย 
This is all due to the fact that higher volatility, low liquidity and spreads widening are expected during US President election period. Trading conditions are expected to get back to normal on 00:00 EET (Server time) November 10.

We would like to remind you that starting from 31.10 leverage for US30, NAS100, SPX500 indices will be lowered from 1:50 to 1:10 on Metatrader 5 trading platform. Leverage will be lowered from October 31 till November 14.

Please consider this information while planning your trading.

We would like you to be aware that further changes can be made depending on market volatility.
