Dark Cloud Over http://www.japanese-candlesticks.co.uk/candle... I love the name of this particular candlestick formation as it describes the price action in the description exactly. A dark cloud has appeared on the horizon and we need to take notice. So what has actually happened here? We have a significant up bar which has closed at a price.

Is The Euro The New Reserve Currency? http://www.euro-vs-dollar.com/euro-vs-dollar-... A world where the Euro surpasses the US currency as the senior reserve currency would represent a major change from the status quo, and yet the Euro has now become the reserve currency of choice by many of the world's leading banks. The European economy is second in size only to that of the US, and represents 22% of the world's total gross product with a working population that is the third largest in the world. The European Central Bank has responsibility for maintaining liquidity, purchasing power, overall stability, and for setting interest rates in order to maintain economic order.

Basics of Currency Trading http://currency-forex-trading-online.com/star... All trades in forex are quoted in pairs. The first currency is called the base currency.

How Futures Contracts Work http://www.futures-trading-online-contracts.c...

Improve Your Trading and Investing Using Volume Spread Analysis http://www.making-bread.co.uk/volume-spread-a... In technical analysis using charts and volume, we are NOT trying to predict tops and bottoms ( nobody can, but many have tried). What we are doing is looking for possible turning points, then waiting for confirmation before we do anything. Once the move has been confirmed we may then decide to trade. What it also does not tell us is the length of the move, which could last days, weeks or months. This is why we have strict money management controls in place, just in case we are wrong or the move only lasts for a short time and then continues in its original direction.

Perhaps you have left your wallet or bag at home - perhaps you have a temporary cash flow problem, whatever the reason your colleague has provided you with a short term cash loan, so that you can continue to work in order to repay them in the near future. Now in this simple example, nothing has been written down ( you have a verbal contract in this case ) but your colleague will expect to be repaid tomorrow in full. In effect you have issued an IOU or a
Best Isa http://www.best-isa.org.uk/... The history of the ISA, or Individual Savings Account, can be traced back to the Conservative government of the 1980's and the then chancellor Nigel Lawson. With the move towards privatisation of state owned assets, the advancement of home ownership, and the encouragement of individuals to invest in the stock market, the PEP or personal equity plan was initially introduced. This was the great vision at the time of a share owning democracy, which coincided with the market deregulation some years later. PEPs were first unveiled in the 1986 budget, and initially were focused on individual shares, as the name suggests. Over the years various changes were made to the original product to make them more attractive to investors, such as increasing the amounts that could be invested, and aligning them to the tax year, rather than the calendar year.
Euro vs dollar http://www.euro-vs-dollar.com/... My own view is that the USD is currently oversold against both the UK Pound and also the Euro, but that the Euro will continue to strengthen into next year and may reach 1.50 or even 1.60. If the world economies start to slow and interest rates are cut, then this could signal the start of a possible turning point
