pipsFX
is a daily report showing
technical support and resistance levels monitored closely
by experienced forex players. Although some traders watch
fundamentals, the extreme leverage employed in currency
trades demands a sound technical approach.
In short, technical analysts believe that
all anticipated fundamentals are constantly priced into a
liquid market. (And there is no more liquid market than
foreign exchange.) Technical analysis provides objective
entry and exit points for a position and, therefore, allow
the trader to quantify risk/reward for each position.
Technical analysis works because so many traders employ
it—particularly in currency trading. And the more widely
recognized a technical indicator is, the more likely it is
to be effective.
In currencies, certain technical
indicators have gained prominence. These include Fibonacci
ratios and certain moving averages including the 200-day
for position traders, and 13-/15-bar m.a. crossovers on
daily, hourly, and 15 minute charts. But there is no more
prominent indicator than the bar chart itself. And this is
where pipsFX
shines.
pipsFx
is a computerized set of algorithms that forms a
mathematical representation of a bar chart.
pipsFX isn't
satisified with one bar chart. Just as you would,
pipsFX
looks price charts in several timeframes. Because it is
capable of reducing charts into mathematical equations, it
is able to combine various timeframes and combine
technical points into a cohesive guideline. As you might
imagine, when pipsFX
finds the same price level appearing in more than one
timeframe, it puts particular emphasis on this level. (You
might imagine that the more charts a observed price level
on, the more traders who are likely to act on the level.)
It usually takes some time for a trader
to become comfortable with an indicator or technical tool
and to figure out how to incorporate it into an existing
methodology. For this reason, we make the previous day's
pipsFX
report freely available on this website. If you think your
trading might improve with a systematic, methodical,
mathematical analysis of your charts, give
pipsFX a shot at it.
Follow it in the currencies you trade and see if it frees
your time to concentrate on monitoring your trades in
the highly leveraged, fast-moving currency markets.
pipsFX
is a set of mathematical algorithms provided as an aid to
your market analysis. These algorithms and the price data
used is believed to be reliable, but is not guaranteed.
Currency trading is extremely risky. There is no guarantee
of profits. Losses may occur. Each trader is unique and
responsible for his/her own trading decisions. No
