 The delusion conceptually propounds that intraweek and intraday FOREX currency quotes movement is governed by either improvement or by deterioration of the state's economic situation. But in reality, even in case the actual Forex news is superior to the estimated one, the FOREX quotes up/down movement is of 50/50 probability.nnThis statement is thoroughly important. Once the job of Forex trader is gambling on FOREX exchange rates differential (FOREX pairs up/down movement), the following is to be realized to obtain faultless profit:nnFOREX pairs pricing mechanism (say at point X where you are completing the market analysis) nFactors imparting growth/decline to FOREX rates (up/down from point X). nThus, having understood the FOREX rates factors effective at the extra-exchange (book-maker) FOREX market and the given currency motive factors, a trader must possess distinct knowledge of whether to buy or to sell the given currency pair.nnSo, what are these factors?nnFOREX student suggest unambiguous interpretation of factors responsible for the price formation and the fluctuations there of:nnForex rate constitutes a demand-supply balance for a given goods (currency). nAny violation of this balance, (for instance, in case where the estimated news is in disagreement with the issued official one), results in the FOREX rates reciprocation in chase of a new demand-supply balance. Poor demand brings about decline in a certain currency rate, with a high demand leading to the growth of the latter. The situation continues as long as the currency buy/sell demand comes to balance at another level or at another point. nReferring to the B. Williams ("Trading Chaos 2" Chapter 1 "The market is what you are thinking of it"):nnEach world market is dedicated to distribute or share limited amount of something... among those desirous to obtain it most of all. The market affects it by way of finding out and identifying the exact price? Underlying the buyer'/sellers' power absolute equilibrium point.nnThe above point is readily established by stock, futures, bonds, FOREX and options markets, be it either via an open auction or by virtue of a computerized facility. Markets spot this point prior to any misbalance being detectable by you or by me or even by traders at the exchange floor.nnWith this scenario holding true - and it really does - we are in position to jump at certain simple yet important conclusions as regards the information being circulated through the market and enjoying doubtless acceptance".nnThomas Demark was more laconic in "Technical analysis - an emerging science":nn"Price movement is governed by demand and supply. Should demand exceed supply, there's a price rally and if visa versa, there's a price decline. All economists do share these underlying principles".nnHence, the role of fundamental analysis for FOREX market is readily apparent.nnIn scholar fiction one will discover roughly the following explanation, persistently wandering from book to book, from site to site and suggesting attaining successful trading at FOREX market by way of scrutinizing the country's economic fundamental data, viz. by tracking the factors reflective of the country's economy condition as below:nnState economy condition dynamics indicators (GDP, trade payments balance, current account, industrial production, etc. It is knowledge, that the higher the above indicators - the faster the economic and the currency price growth);nnStock indices, via average arithmetic index of the country's securities market condition and dynamics. E.g.: 0.3% daily DJI growth in the USA means that this certain day the shares of 30 leading US companies, being pictured by DJU, went 0.3% more expensive. By similarity, DAX30 is the major German index, incorporating the price of shares of the country's 30 leading companies.nnThe country's interest rate, since the higher the rate, the greater number of investors is eager to invest into the country's economy and hence into national currency strength.nnRate of inflation (the higher the rate, the quicker the National Bank will hike the interest rate). With this assumption, the CPI constitutes a key factor.nnMoney supply growth in domestic market, which fact brings about the inflation, leading to the interest rate hike.nnThe country's gold and currency reserve assets.nnVariation dynamics correlation of: balances of payment, trade balance, state budget, gross domestic product (GDP), etc.nnTrade and industry dynamics (industrial production, industrial orders, DGO, capacity utilization, retail sales, etc.)nnConstruction statistics (construction spending, new home sales, housing under construction, building permits, etc.)nnLabor statistics (unemployment rate, new jobs, etc.) nSociety investigations (consumer confidence, consumer sentiment, purchase managers and service managers sentiment, etc.)nnTo be considered additionally are the country's political stability and tranquility (clearly, any political, natural and other cataclysms are sure to turn investors nervous making them withdraw the investments from the country, thus weakening its national currency). And with the currency being the national economy derivative, changes in economic data will inevitably result in the above currency rate movement. nConclusions:nnProgress in economy results in the currency exchange rate rally.nnDecrease in economic indicators leads to the national currency rate decline. nTo sum it up, critical economic and political news (whose calendar is issued in advance and is familiar to any trader) constitute a standing factor giving rise to misbalance and causing the currency rate fluctuations.nnIn anticipation of important economic and political news FOREX pair crawl to the rates as inspired by the estimates ("rumored trade"), whereas upon actual news there occurs a pulse motion of FOREX pairs in accordance with the scheme below;nnForex rate grows if actual news are better than the estimated one; nForex rate declines if actual news are worse than the estimated one. nARE YOU FAMILIAR WITH THESE ABC BASICS OF STUDYING FOREX?nnDo you accept that one can earn money by way of using these basics, known to every trader?nnThen why, having absorbed these economic axioms, 90% of Forex traders in the world are losers rather than winners.nnWhere is the delusion of the above ABC truth, nudging traders towards losses? Let us perform sort of point-by-point analysis.nnThe currency exchange FOREX market is a book-makers one. It is gambling on rates difference without direct money delivery to the exchange market, except for hedging of traders' funds by Forex brokers, via buy-sell difference especially during strong trends). Then, http://www.forexite.com reads: "Trading is performed without actual currencies supply, which fact cuts overheads and enables Forexite to go long and short on the currency" http://www.forexite.com/forexite_advantages/forex_advantages.html.nnComment: Have you ever met any book-makers;nn- whose logics was coincident with that of THEIR clients (traders),nn- whose stakes were being made in accordance with THEIR technical analysts forecasts, economic laws and common sense?nnAnd what extent of doubt and skepticism should be attached to THEIR free "recommendations", "advice", "surveys" and "forecasts", laid out at THEIR sites through THEIR analysts?nnAs a regular result, over 90% of the world traders are still losing their deposits at FOREX each time they follow Thomas Demark stereotype that "All the economists share these underlying principles".nnComment No.1. In as much as the above underlying principles are 90% contradictory to practice, it gives rise to the following question. Might these "underlying principles, shared by all economists including Thomas Demark" have possibly turned into dogma, alien to life and practice?nnComment No.2. What should a trader lean on: practice or dogma even if supported by great names, provided that the trader is purported at earning money?nnFOREX analysts issuing their daily bulky market reviews are not FOREX traders in the overwhelming majority (see detailed discussion below). And on bringing together pairs 1, 2 and 3 there appears certain regularity.nnPlease, think over A. Elder words, that: "FOREX rates and the fundamental analysis are tied together with a mile-long rope. The fundamental analysis is ultimately decisive. But anything is likely to happen prior to this eventuality". Another, yet no less renowned trader and analyst, Bill Williams underlines the same mental regularity of an experienced professional trader (level 3 of his trader's skill rating as per "Trading Chaos 2"): "On attaining level 3 you emerge as a self-provided pro trader. You are always familiar with the market's basic, usually invisible structure. You no longer need to refer to others' opinions. You needn't read "Wall Street Journal", watch market-oriented TV programs, and subscribe to information bulletins, waste money on information channels".nnComment: Logically, there is a counter-implication, that if You are eager to become a successful trader, You are to restrict the influence of various surveys and recommendations on yourself even in case they originate from the world famous "Wall Street Journal", to say nothing of crude gurus in analyst skins who use to know ahead of time where currencies will go.nnForex news is a scheduled issue of fundamental data, which as a rule impairs FOREX rates a sharp pulse of motion. But then, why the currency rates movement vector is only 50% coincident with the ABC truism logics as to where the rate should rush in case of actual news being much better or worse than the estimate. And, please, make an attempt to answer the following question, stirring for every trader: why with the new being worse than expected (say, on US economy), the USD currency would initially fall by 40 pips (news work-off) but in 5 to 10 minutes it would swivel back and would display a 200-point rally, with no account to either the issued news or to common sense.nnBelow are some examples:nnFig. 1. GBPUSD chart as of April 1, 2005 after the news, positive for the GBP and negative for the US economy. nSee Note belownnIn March the CIPS manufacturing index amounted to 52.0 (with the previous data revised from 51.8 to 51.6). Oil price in NYC has grown by USD 2.40 up to USD57.70 per bbl (new record of the latest 21 years). Non-farm payrolls in the USA was minimum since last July (previous data revised towards lower values). There has been a decline in the Michigan sentiment index to 92.6 (median estimate was 92.9, with 92.9 previously).nnAll the US indices faced a fall down. DJI at NYSE has fallen by 99.46 pips (-0.95%) towards closing at 10404.30. NASDAQ declined by 14.42 pips (-0.72%) to 1984.81. SP500 slipped by 7.67 pips (-0.65%) to 1172.92. 30-yr US Bonds yielded 4.729 (0.037 lower as compared to the previous close). By contrary, FTSE100 has grown by 19.60 pips ( 0.40%) to 4914.00.nnNow, the question is to certified economists: what will happen to the GBPUSD within one day or even several hours upon publication of these data? You are right, USD should not simply fall down, it should collapse. Powerfully, swiftly. Well, well...nnAnd this time, the same question to experienced traders. By FOREX news headlines You might have guessed that the events are taking place at the Friday American session. Correct. Initially, anyway, the GBPUSD chart will go up by 100 pips (news wok-off), followed by a pullback. Then Forex chart starts a new rally.nnIt is now to be tracked whether the GBP will breach the latest rally high or not. If affirmative, it will rush up by approximately 160 pips (Elliott wave 1 was 100 pips, while EW 3 is 60% longer). But if the high is not breached? The GBP currency quote will in no way come to a standstill, moreover on Friday afternoon. Hence, - down, to the starting point! And, if breached, similar situation takes shape but the counting is performed in a "down" direction (EW1, being the same 100 pips plus 187 pips from 1.8826 to 1.8759 being EW 3).nnThe FOREX day trading tactics will be given scrutiny in a separate chapter. A still separate chapter will be dedicated to Friday trade at American session due to its inherent specifics and to strong seemingly inappropriate movement. The movement is, of course, appropriate. To say nothing of Friday. But it will be touched upon later.nnNow, getting back to the currency chart. As apparent, the GBPUSD pair movement on Friday, April, 01, 2005 is in no way in conjunction with the US economy fundamental data. Each forex trader can provide from tens to hundreds of similar instances, where the news are of a certain vector, whereas, after a fraudulent rush along the news vector, a currency applies reverse thrust.nnThereafter, the next day, in daily currency surveys, certified economists are sure to explain all to us by way of inventing another undisguised nonsense, like: "in spite of certain data, traders decided that the currency has already worked-off this side". But! How could this occur on Apr, 01, 2005, provided that the currency has been staying flat in a narrow range in the course of the whole of the European session?nnOtherwise, another explanation may emerge, that forex traders were expecting still more inferior news on the US economy... But! By how much more inferior, if according to DJ, the US non-farm payrolls MA was equivalent to 180K, with actual being 110K, estimate being 225K and prior being 243K? And in what manner do these economists count up world traders: by capita, by countries or by the funds, lost by those, who continued staying long in a holy belief in renowned academic scholars postulate of FOREX rates being tied up to countries' economy statistics.nnI wonder if I'll ever chance to witness legal procedures to be instituted against any of those famous scholars, so that no one would dare claim that fundamental data trigger rate spikes.nnThe same pertains to economists, writing about the way, hundreds of thousands traders throughout the globe have conspired to conclude that it is time to reverse the trends with absolutely no grounds. Is it really feasible?nnSuch reading-matter is, but hammering a single question into one's head: is it lie or is it stupidity of those cooking daily reports for taking traders for a ride, fooling them up and keeping them from the truth, which might be of great avail to them in daily trading. Traders are not a decisive factor, thus rates movement is in no way dependent on their will. Practically in no way.nnWanna check? Negotiate with tens of traders of the trading floor and arrange for a simultaneous entry long on some exotic FOREX pair. In so doing, try to push up either the NZDHKD, or the NZDCAD, or the HKDCAD. No need? I think so. You'll certainly suffer failure with the above, to say nothing of the EUR, GBP, CHF.nnAnother example:nnFig.2. GBPUSD movement as of May 13, 2005.nnSee Note belownnThis is an M15 chart of the American session, where the USD pair has grown by over 100 pips from 1.8583 to 1.8481 against the news, negative for the US economy:nnMost indices have dropped down: DJI at NYSE - by 49.36 pips (-0.48%) to close at 10140.12; SP500 - by 5.31 pips (-0.46%) to 1154.05. NASDAQ has grown by 12.92 pips ( 0.66%) to1976.80. 30yr US Bonds yielded 4.484 (0.047 drop from previous close)nnThere is a fall in Michigan sentiment index. In May UMich was 85.3 with med est 90.0 and prior 87.7. So it was worse than the estimate, reaching the low since March, 2003. The index decline was being observed for the fifth month.nnThe April US export price index was 0.6% with prior of 0.7%.nnBelow are other similar examples of that same day.nnFig. 3. EURUSD chart as of May 13, 2005.nnSee Note belownnHundreds of examples may be offered, where the Forex news vector is opposite to that of the currency movement. Practically, actual news may happen to be superior or inferior to the estimate. FOREX quotes up/down movement is also of 50/50 probability irrespective of the above.n
