Blogging About Forex for 3 Years



Today is the 3rd anniversary of the EarnForex blog. 3 years ago I’ve made my first post (which was less than anything meaningful) to this blog. Many posts have been made since then and I hope that the quality of the content has also improved since 2006. The process of blogging about something as commercial as Forex is far from trivial. Keeping the reader’s interest is one thing, but being useful to the traders that risk their own money is completely another. I hope that my blog is still both interesting and useful to the readers, and Forex traders of all categories find something here that makes them return again and again. In the near future I plan to start posting more materials that are related to the actual Forex trading — most probably it will be some sort graphical chart analysis. So, stay tuned for some new interesting content :-).

Forex Money Rain:


Forex Money Rain:

Money rain corporation is a Forex broker with a MetaTrader 4 platform that offers quite interesting conditions to its traders. Its description was uploaded to my site today. MRC offers trading mini accounts from $100. The most interesting advantage it has is the interest on the trade balance, which is quite generous. Trading accounts can be kept in several currencies — the yearly interest rate depends on the account’s currency and it’s quite close to the refinancing rate set by the central bank of the given currency. Other highlights of Money Rain broker include:
  • 1-3 pip spread on EUR/USD; depends on the account type.
  • Deposit funds via WebMoney, wire transfer and credit card.
  • Trade Forex, CFD, commodities and precious metals.


EUR/USD Rises for Third Day as GM Goes Bankrupt:

Euro continued to advance sharply against the U.S. dollar today as the U.S. are witnessing their biggest bankruptcy case in history. Economic indicators that came out from the United States today (other than GM bankruptcy) were better than expected. EUR/USD is now trading near 1.4209.

Personal Income rose by 0.5% in April after decreasing by 0.2% in March (revised up from -0.3%). Personal spending decreased by 0.1% in April, following 0.3% drop in March (revised down from -0.2%). Forecasts for both indicators showed -0.2%.

Construction Spending at seasonally adjusted annual rate rose by 0.8% in April after 0.4% gain in March (revised up from 0.4% growth). Median forecast by the analysts pointed at 0.8% decline.

ISM in Manufacturing Sector rose from 40.1% to 42.8% in May — almost the same as expected (42%).


Some Interesting Chart Patterns as of May 31st 2009:

I won’t give any recommendations regarding their usage here, but if you are familiar with pattern trading then you’ll know how to interpret these images. You can click on any image for a much better and clear picture. Use them on your own risk.
