weakening growth in top economies and poor liquidity at European banks

Global stocks tumbled further and safe bet gold surged to new records Friday on mounting fears of fresh global recession amid weakening growth in top economies and poor liquidity at European banks. European stock markets were slumping in midday trade with the banking sector again routed amid weak liquidity concerns, while Asian indices closed with huge losses after sharp declines on Wall Street overnight.

The euro inched lower against the dollar and the US currency dropped versus the yen, whose strength continued to hurt Japanese exporters. "Weak data continues to make the hairs on the back of investors necks stand up and with volatility remaining high across global equity markets, the reaction in the markets to this sensitivity remains quick and severe," said Joshua Raymond, chief market strategist at City Index traders in London.

London was down 2.55 percent, Frankfurt shed 3.65 percent, Paris lost 2.99 percent, Madrid tumbled 2.94 percent and Milan gave up 2.71 percent. In Asia, Tokyo tumbled 2.51 percent, hit by the double-whammy of global fears and the persistently strong yen, while Sydney shed 3.51 percent and Seoul plunged 6.22 percent. "Further weak manufacturing data from the US and surprisingly poor German GDP this week increase the likelihood of a double-dip recession and recent evidence indicates there are also inflationary pressures in these weakening economies," said Spreadex trader Jordan Lambert. "This is a double blow to consumers as they now have price rises to deal with along with job insecurity which all leads to less disposable income. Despite the gloomy economic picture M&A activity continues."

Hewlett-Packard, the world's top personal computer maker, announced Thursday that it was buying British enterprise software company Autonomy for $10.24 billion (7.17 billion euros). HP said it would purchase all of the outstanding shares of Autonomy for $42.11 a share in cash, a premium of 64 percent over Autonomy's closing price on the London Stock Exchange on Wednesday. Autonomy's share price jumped 75 percent on Friday.

With trillions of dollars wiped off global stock markets in recent weeks, cash-rich companies are seizing bargains. Google shook up the mobile phone industry Monday with the announcement it was buying US smartphone maker Motorola Mobility for $12.5 billion. London-based brewer SABMiller meanwhile launched a hostile bid for Australian beer giant Foster's on Wednesday worth $10 billion.

Elsewhere, gold continued to benefit from the stock market turmoil, with the precious metal striking a record high of $1,868.63 an ounce on the London Bullion Market. "Flights to safe haven asset plays such as gold, which remains the defensive trade of choice, has continued," said analyst Raymond.

New worries about a second recession in the United States and Europe, prompted by an investment bank report, sent US stocks into a new sharp fall on Thursday. The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed down 3.68 percent, the broader S&P 500 sank 4.46 percent and the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite dived 5.22 percent. The spark to the new fall was a Morgan Stanley report warning that global growth was slowing and that the United States and Europe were on the precipice of plunging into a new recession, two years after the end of the last one.

In foreign exchange deals Friday, the euro was slightly down at $1.4333 compared with $1.4337 late in New York on Thursday. The dollar dropped to 76.39 yen from 76.52 yen Thursday

Conservatory Loan

If you’d like to add some relaxation space to your current home then you might consider adding a conservatory. Financing your new addition needn’t be a worry, as Nemo is on hand to help with a loan to help you fund your new conservatory.

Your new conservatory could even add value to your home. Whether it be for entertaining friends and family, or somewhere to simply take time out and get away from all the hustle and bustle of everyday life, a Nemo conservatory loan could provide the funds for that extra new space you’ve been waiting to add to your home.

With a conservatory loan from Nemo, you could borrow from £10,000 to £100,000, so if there’s more than a conservatory you want to add, we could probably help fund some other home improvements too. Nemo’s competitive rates range from 9.6% APR to 13.4% APR variable, with a typical 9.6% APR variable. You’ll be able to pay your loan back over a term from 5 to 25 years.

If you know the amount that you can afford to repay each month, then our loan guide calculator can help you to work out how much you could borrow with a Nemo conservatory loan. Perhaps you already know how much you’d like to borrow to add your new relaxation space, work out how much your monthly conservatory loan repayments would be with Nemo’s repayment calculator.

So, if you’re keen to add that new space to your home for laid back Sunday mornings or swanky dinner parties.

Personal Secured Loan

Adding an extension, conservatory or carrying out general home improvements can be costly. If you have a big home improvement project then a personal secured loan might be a financing option you could consider.

On the other hand, you may have multiple debts spread over several credit cards, store cards and other unsecured loans. Using a personal secured loan to consolidate your existing credit could help lower your monthly repayments.

Personal loans are generally unsecured, but if you are a home owner with a mortgage, you could apply for a personal secured loan from Nemo. The difference between a personal loan and a secured loan is that you have to offer your home as security when borrowing from a secured loan lender.

The main advantage of taking out a secured personal loan is that the lender may be able to lend you more than those offering unsecured loans, and they are also likely to be able to offer you a longer repayment period. For example Nemo could lend you up to £100,000 over a term of up to 25 years.

You might find that the Typical APR on a personal secured loan is lower than that offered by unsecured loan lenders, and if you’d like to shop around to see what the various lenders can offer, you could use a price comparison site to help you. Nemo’s Typical rate is 9.6% APR variable.
Repaying borrowing over a longer term may increase overall interest charges.

The chart ideas

# There are always two trends to consider – a major trend and a minor trend. The minor trend is a reversal of the major trend, which generally lasts for a short period of time.

# Buying above old tops and selling below old bottoms can be excellent entry levels; assuming the move is not overly mature and a nearby reaction unlikely.

# When a strong up move is occurring the market should make both higher tops and higher bottoms. The reverse is true for down moves- lower bottoms and lower tops.

# Reactions (minor reversals) are smaller when a strong move is occurring. As the reactions begin to increase that is a clear warning signal that the move is losing momentum. When the last reaction exceeds the prior reaction you can assume the trend has changed, at least temporarily.

# Higher bottoms always indicate strength, and an up move usually starts from the third or fourth higher bottom. Reverse this rule in a rising market; lower tops…

# You will always make the most money by following the major trend although to say you will never trade against the trend means that you will miss a lot of opportunities to make big profits.
The rule is: When you are trading against the trend wait until you have a definite indication of a selling or buying point near the top or bottom, where you can place a close stop loss order (risk small amount of capital). The profit target can be a short-term gain to nearby resistance or more.

# Consider the normal or average daily range, average price change from open to high and average price change from open to low, in determining your intra-day price targets.

# Do not overlook the fact that it requires time for a market to get ready at the bottom before it advances and for selling pressure to work it’s way through at top before a decline. Smaller loses and sideways trading are a sign the trend may be waning in a downtrend. Smaller gains and sideways trading in an up trend.

# Fourth time at bottom or top is crucial; next phase of move will soon become clear… be ready.

# Oftentimes, when an important support or resistance level is broken a quick move occurs followed by a reaction back to or slightly above support or below resistance. This is a great opportunity to play the break on the “rebound”. Your stop can be super tight. For example, EURUSD important resistance 1.0840 is broken and a quick move to 1.0860, followed by a decline to 1.0835. Buy with a 1.0820 stop. The move back down is natural and takes nothing away from the importance of the breakout. However, EURUSD should not decline significantly below the breakout (breakout 1.0840; EURUSD should not go below 1.0825.

# After a prolonged up move when a top has been made there is usually a trading range, followed by a sharp decline. After that, a secondary reaction back near the old highs often occurs. This is because the market gets ahead of itself and a short squeeze occurs. Selling near the old top with a stop above the old top is the safest place to sell.

# The third lower top is also a great place to sell.

# The same is true in reverse for down moves.

# Be careful not to buy near top or sell near bottom within trading ranges. Wait for breakaway (huge profit potential) or play the range.

# Whether the market is very active or in a trading range, all indications are more accurate and trustworthier when the market is actively trading.

Courage Under Stressful Conditions When the Outcome is Uncertain

All the foreign exchange trading knowledge in the world is not going to help, unless you have the nerve to buy and sell currencies and put your money at risk. As with the lottery “You gotta be in it to win it”. Trust me when I say that the simple task of hitting the buy or sell key is extremely difficult to do when your own real money is put at risk.

You will feel anxiety, even fear. Here lies the moment of truth. Do you have the courage to be afraid and act anyway? When a fireman runs into a burning building I assume he is afraid but he does it anyway and achieves the desired result. Unless you can overcome or accept your fear and do it anyway, you will not be a successful trader.

However, once you learn to control your fear, it gets easier and easier and in time there is no fear. The opposite reaction can become an issue – you’re overconfident and not focused enough on the risk you're taking.

Both the inability to initiate a trade, or close a losing trade can create serious psychological issues for a trader going forward. By calling attention to these potential stumbling blocks beforehand, you can properly prepare prior to your first real trade and develop good trading habits from day one.

Start by analyzing yourself. Are you the type of person that can control their emotions and flawlessly execute trades, oftentimes under extremely stressful conditions? Are you the type of person who’s overconfident and prone to take more risk than they should? Before your first real trade you need to look inside yourself and get the answers. We can correct any deficiencies before they result in paralysis (not pulling the trigger) or a huge loss (overconfidence). A huge loss can prematurely end your trading career, or prolong your success until you can raise additional capital.

The difficulty doesn’t end with “pulling the trigger”. In fact what comes next is equally or perhaps more difficult. Once you are in the trade the next hurdle is staying in the trade. When trading foreign exchange you exit the trade as soon as possible after entry when it is not working. Most people who have been successful in non-trading ventures find this concept difficult to implement.

For example, real estate tycoons make their fortune riding out the bad times and selling during the boom periods. The problem with trying to adapt a 'hold on until it comes back' strategy in foreign exchange is that most of the time the currencies are in long-term persistent, directional trends and your equity will be wiped out before the currency comes back.

The other side of the coin is staying in a trade that is working. The most common pitfall is closing out a winning position without a valid reason. Once again, fear is the culprit. Your subconscious demons will be scaring you non-stop with questions like “what if news comes out and you wind up with a loss”. The reality is if news comes out in a currency that is going up, the news has a higher probability of being positive than negative (more on why that is so in a later article).

So your fear is just a baseless annoyance. Don’t try and fight the fear. Accept it. Have a laugh about it and then move on to the task at hand, which is determining an exit strategy based on actual price movement. As Garth says in Waynesworld “Live in the now man”. Worrying about what could be is irrational. Studying your chart and determining an objective exit point is reality based and rational.

Another common pitfall is closing a winning position because you are bored with it; its not moving. In Football, after a star running back breaks free for a 50-yard gain, he comes out of the game temporarily for a breather. When he reenters the game he is a serious threat to gain more yards – this is indisputable. So when your position takes a breather after a winning move, the next likely event is further gains – so why close it?

If you can be courageous under fire and strategically patient, foreign exchange trading may be for you. If you’re a natural gunslinger and reckless you will need to tone your act down a notch or two and we can help you make the necessary adjustments. If putting your money at risk makes you a nervous wreck its because you lack the knowledge base to be confident in your decision making.

Patience to Gain Knowledge through Study and Focus
Many new traders believe all you need to profitably trade foreign currencies are charts, technical indicators and a small bankroll. Most of them blow up (lose all their money) within a few weeks or months; some are initially successful and it takes as long as a year before they blow up. A tiny minority with good money management skills, patience, and a market niche go on to be successful traders. Armed with charts, technical indicators, and a small bankroll, the chance of succeeding is probably 500 to 1.

To increase your chances of success to near certainty requires knowledge; acquiring knowledge takes hard work, study, dedication and focus. Compile your knowledge base without taking any shortcuts, thereby assuring a solid foundation to build upon.

Foreign investing is considered by many investors

Foreign Investment / Stock Exposure - Foreign investing is considered by many investors as a way to either diversify an investment portfolio or seek a larger return on investment(s) in an economy believed to be growing at a faster pace than investment(s) in the respective domestic economy. Investing in foreign stocks automatically exposes the investor to foreign exchange rate risk and speculative risk.

For example, an investor buys a particular amount of foreign currency (in exchange for domestic currency) in order to purchase shares of a foreign stock. The investor is now automatically exposed to two separate risks.

First, the stock price may go either up or down and the investor is exposed to the speculative stock price risk.

Second, the investor is exposed to foreign exchange rate risk because the foreign exchange rate may either appreciate or depreciate from the time the investor first purchased the foreign stock and the time the investor decides to exit the position and repatriates the currency (exchanges the foreign currency back to domestic currency). Therefore, even if a speculative profit is achieved because the foreign stock price rose, the investor could actually net lose money if devaluation of the foreign currency occurred while the investor was holding the foreign stock (and the devaluation amount was greater than the speculative profit). Placing a foreign exchange hedge can help to manage this foreign exchange rate risk.

Hedging Speculative Positions - Foreign currency traders utilize foreign exchange hedging to protect open positions against adverse moves in foreign exchange rates, and placing a foreign exchange hedge can help to manage foreign exchange rate risk. Speculative positions can be hedged via a number of foreign exchange hedging vehicles that can be used either alone or in combination to create entirely new foreign exchange hedging strategies.

Charts for the technical analysis

Kinds of prices and time units. Charts for the technical analysis are being constructed in coordinates price (the vertical axis) time (the horizontal axis). The following kinds of currency prices represented on charts are being distinguished on Forex:

• open - a price at the beginning of a trade period (year, month, day, week, hour, minute or a certain amount of one from these units);
• close - a price at the end of a trade period;
• high - the highest from prices observed during a trade period;
• low - the lowest from prices observed during a trade period.

Providing the technical analysis one uses charts for different time units from 1 year or more till 1 minute. The bigger is a time unit applied for the chart plotting the bigger is a time span to analyze price movements and to determine the major trend by means of the chart. For the short trading charts for less time units are more suitable.

Line chart. The line chart is plotted connecting single prices for a selected time period. The most popular line chart is the daily chart. Although any point in the day can be plotted, most traders focus on the closing price, which they perceive as the most important. But an immediate problem with the daily line chart is the fact that it is impossible to see the price activity for the balance of the period as well as gaps breakups in prices at joints of trade periods. Nevertheless, line charts are easier to visualize. Also, technical analysis goes well beyond chart formation; in order to execute certain models and techniques, line charts are better suited than any of the other charts.

Bar chart. The bar chart consists from separate histograms. To plot a histogram in coordinates price time the points responding to high, low, open and close prices for a time period analyzed should be marked on the one vertical bar. The opening price usually is marked with a little horizontal line to the left of the bar; and the closing price is marked with a little horizontal line to the right of the bar. Bar charts have the obvious advantage of displaying the currency range for the period selected. An advantage of this chart is that, unlike line charts, the bar chart is able to plot price gaps. Hence, it is impossible to see on a bar chart absolutely all price movements during the period.

Candlestick chart. The candlestick chart is closely related to the bar chart. It also consists of four major prices: high, low, open, and close. In addition to the common readings, the candlestick chart has a set of particular interpretations. The latter is possible thanks to the convenient visual observation of that chart.

The opening and closing prices form the body of the candlestick. To indicate that the opening was lower than the closing, the body of the bar is left blank. Current standard electronic displays allow you to keep it blank or select a color of your choice. If the currency closes below its opening, the body is filled. In its original form, the body was colored black, but the electronic displays allow you to keep it filled or to select a color of your choice. The intraday (or weekly) direction on a candlestick chart can be traced by means of two "shadows": the upper shadow (uwakage) and the lower shadow (shitakage). Just as with a bar chart, the candlestick chart is unable to trace every price movement during a period's activity.
