What are your trading plans for 2016?

/in /by

As you are probably aware 2015 was a volatile year in the currency markets as the world’s central banks revealed their policies and implemented them with ruthless efficiency.

However for us Platinum traders this is where the fun begins, in 2016 we will have central bank divergence, this means that the USD will be strong against the GBP/EUR/JPY/CHF/AUD/NZD and for us this means we are already planning our trades for next year, and we’re doing that today.

Trending markets are going to offer us the opportunity to exploit this divergence and make huge gains across all markets.

We want to give you an exclusive insight into the world of institutional trading and show you that by using the same trading techniques your trading results will change forever and 2016 will be your best year yet.

Join our exclusive webinar to discover how the Professionals trade, what techniques do they use and how they generate a sustainable income from trading. Fund managers, the world over are salivating at the thought of making huge sums of money in the coming twelve months and we want you to do the same.

What are your trading plans for 2016?

  • Same trading techniques, same strategies, same results?
  • Isn’t it about time you stopped being amateur in a professional world?
  • Most retail traders are unaware that the banks control 90% of the daily traded volume of the Forex market, yet only 5% of the world’s forex traders work at the banks.
  • If you want to be successful at trading you need to understand just what it is that the 5% do.

Are you a typical Retail trader?

  • Are you still using indicators to make your trading decisions?
  • Have you been taught to be time frame dependent?
  • Do you often buy at the high of the day or sell at the low?
  • Has your prior education skipped over how the banks operate and trade in the Forex market?

If you find yourself answering mostly yes to the above then stop trading….stop right now!!!
What you are doing, will waste your time, your effort and most of all your money.

The Platinum Trading Academy doesn’t teach you how to be a retail trader, you’re going to be taught the art of professional trading and be shown the techniques the banks have been using for decades to generate billions in profits.

Emergency webinar post ECB event

We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again: nobody moves markets like Mario Draghi.

The euro gained 2.5% on the dollar today an absolutely enormous move. Some $5.7 trillion is traded in currency markets every day, and the Euro-dollar trade accounts for around a quarter of that volume. A move like the one today is very rare in a market with that sort of vast liquidity.

What happened?

After Draghi, the president of the European Central Bank, dropped hints last month that he was open to boosting the bank’s stimulus measures to support the economy, markets figured that “Super Mario” was laying the groundwork for some monetary shock and awe at the ECB’s regularly scheduled meeting today.

As it happened, Draghi disappointed investors with moves that were less aggressive than expected. Among other measures, the ECB cut one of its key interest rates further into negative territory (from -0.2% to -0.3%) and extended its program of buying €60 billion in government bonds every month through at least March 2017 (from September 2016).

These sorts of actions generally push down the value of the euro—a good thing for the Euro-zone economy these days. A weaker euro boosts growth by making exports from the euro zone more competitive abroad, while it also pushes up prices at home, which guards against the region’s long and dangerous flirtation with deflation. Indeed, the euro has fallen by more than 10% against the dollar so far this year, and 20% over the past two years.

But when the markets think that even more forceful actions are required to break the euro zone —bigger rate cuts, bolder bond purchases—you get a sharp and unexpected move in the opposite direction, like the one today. It isn’t the first time that Draghi’s has sent the euro higher with his comments after an ECB rate-setting meeting, but it is by far the largest in scale:

More common recently have been sharp drops in the euro when Draghi took the mic, which might explain why so many traders were caught so badly off-guard:

Why did Draghi disappoint?

The ECB’s own economic projections aren’t exactly rosy, with GDP forecasts for the next two years lower today than shortly after the central bank started buying government bonds in January:

And inflation is nowhere near the ECB’s target of 2%, with the bank’s latest forecasts showing inflation drifting even further from this goal than at the start of the year:

For this reason, Draghi told reporters, a “very large majority” of the ECB’s governing board reckoned that more stimulus was needed. “We are doing more because it works,” Draghi said, noting that the forecasts for both inflation and GDP would be even grimmer if not for the bank’s efforts to date.

But could things be even better with more aggressive action? The markets have certainly, I think so.
