XAU/USD: the pair is trading in both directions 30.10.2017

Good afternoon, dear forum visitors!

NPBFX offers the latest release of analytics on the XAU/USD for a better understanding of the current market situation and more efficient trading.

Current trend

Gold prices grew considerably last Friday, moving away from the local maximum since October 6. The reason for the occurrence of “bullish” dynamics was technical correction factors, while the positions of the US currency remained quite stable.

Investors once again pay attention to the difference between the interest rates of the Fed and other central banks. Namely, last week ECB announced that the rates will remain low for a long time. Together with possible growth of the Fed’s rates until the end of 2017, this gives USD considerable support.

Gold also receives moderate support from speculations about the next head of the Fed. According to the media, Trump prefers Powell who is considered more neutral than Taylor. The head of the Fed will determine the rate of monetary policy tightening in the country which in turn will put pressure on gold as a non-interest-bearing asset.

Support ans resistance

Bollinger Bands in D1 chart show gradual decrease. The price range is slightly widening from below. MACD indicator is slowly growing preserving a sell signal (the histogram is below the signal line). Stochastic shows flat dynamics and is located near 20.

Support levels: 1266.01, 1260.25, 1251.03.

Bulls against bears: how to use the Forex Market Review on the NPBFX portal to indicate market sentiment

Good afternoon, dear forum visitors!

654.png


On the Forex market traders can observe cyclical changes in sentiment - bull and bearish. How to understand them properly and earn on the eternal market confrontation between the two forces? We will understand today together with the best instruments on the NPBFX analytical portal.

Bulls vs. The Bears

The bull market is dominated by traders who open deals to buy currencies (long positions), stimulating demand and causing even greater growth of currency price. As a rule, at such moments on the market you can observe an upward trend, but you should hurry to open deals for buying- the bull market can exist before the trend reversal.

On the bear market most players are aimed to lower prices and put up orders for sale (short positions). The price of a currency pair is constantly falling under the pressure of negative news and the constantly increasing number of applications for sale.

Sometimes it is more profitable to buy on the bear market, the main thing is to catch a moment when the price reaches its bottom. But you should be very cautious not to accept correction for the trend reversal. And the Forex Market Review instrument on the NPBFX portal perfectly helps to understand the current situation on the market.

What is the use of Forex Market Review indicator?

The Forex Market Review indicator helps traders to monitor the dynamics of buys/sales of certain currencies over a period of time, which allows to determine an optimal time to make a deal. That is, you can see what part of traders is buying now, and what part of traders is selling the instrument of interest. This information is important for both types of traders - those who make deals with the crowd, and those who go against the majority.

111.jpg


How to use the Forex Market Review instrument?

The Forex Market Review indicator can be found in the Signals section on the NPBFX analytical portal. It shows the ratio of buys to sales of trading instruments in percent. You can find the 11 most popular currency pairs and two types of crude oil. The data is updated every 10 minutes, so that it makes possible to understand the real picture on the market.

It is important to understand, that the instrument does not signal directly that you need to sale or buy, a trader makes a decision independently based on his goals and strategy. You can use the Forex Market Review indicator as an addition to any trading strategy to confirm confidence in trading decisions.

An example of using the indicator. Let's suppose you see the indicator shows on the AUDUSD pair a value of 62% BUY and 38% SELL. This means that among all the bidders at the moment, 62% of participants have long positions (bulls) and 38% short positions (bears). If the selected currency pair will gain growth, then in long positions there will be, for example, 95% of bulls and only 5% of bears. This indication is considered to be critical, when the number of traders who are able to increase the growth of the selected currency pair, is not much at all. In this situation you can expect a market reversal. A critical level for each currency pair can be different. If a trader notes a multiple turn of price when it reaches long positions at a certain percentage, for example, 82%, then most likely, this number is critical for this pair. When the mark approaches the border of 82%, you can expect a signal about the reversal.

Together with the Forex Market Review indicator traders can use trading signals, analytics on the portal, which will further increase the accuracy and efficiency of trading. Also you can get a detailed consultation of the analyst in the chat on the instruments of interest and your trading decisions. Free and unlimited access to the Forex Market Review and other useful instruments on the portal is available to all registered users on the NPBFX website.

XAG/USD: general review on 08.11.2017

Good afternoon, dear forum visitors!

NPBFX offers the latest release of analytics on the XAG/USD for a better understanding of the current market situation and more efficient trading.

Current trend

Silver continues to slightly strengthen against USD. By now the price has broken down the resistance level of 5/8 Murrey or 16.99. If it consolidates above 17.00, the next target will be 17.18.

The demand for silver was caused by the publication by Fitch agency. It stated that Trump’s tax reform was far from being certain and could undergo numerous changes, although the Republicans claimed they were ready to resolve this issue until the end of the year.

On the other hand, certain outflow of cash from precious metals could be caused by further strengthening of digital currencies. The chairman of CME Leo Melamed stated that bitcoin could become a new class of assets like gold or silver. The trading site also promised to release futures by the end of the year. Many investors are very skeptical about that and believe the digital currencies market is just another bubble and precious metals will remain the instruments for asset preservation.

Support and resistance

Stochastic is at 200 points and indicates possible correction of the asset from current levels.

Resistance levels: 17.18, 17.35.

Support levels: 16.99, 16.88.

Why STP accounts? The five main advantages in NPBFX, impossible to refuse from

Good afternoon, dear forum visitors!

A trader today can choose the most favorable and suitable conditions for himself in the market of brokerage services. So, you can choose the best variants of the main parameters to start successful trading: leverage, execution speed, suitable minimum deposit and the way of orders execution (DD, NDD, ECN, STP). Among other advantages, NPBFX offers trading on STP accounts. Why STP accounts and what advantages do they give to traders?

stp1-1011.png


5 main advantages of STP accounts in NPBFX:

1) No conflict of interest. STP means work by broker service model, when NPBFX does not appear as the second side of clients’ deals. Output of deals to the interbank market to liquidity providers is possible by using a bridge from the MetaTrader 4 trading platform. Such technological "bridges" allow to transfer a position not to only one bank but directly to a group of them, which provides the broker with a liquidity. Each client’s deal is hedged with liquidity providers, so the company doesn’t have an open currency position. And the income of the company is formed exclusively from a supplement to spreads — markup. Therefore, NPBFX is really interested in large volumes and profitable trading of its clients.

2) Instant speed up to 100-300 ms. Direct withdrawal to the interbank market without intermediaries makes it possible to reduce such a precious execution time for each trader. In addition, NPBFX locates its servers in the Equinix NY4 data center in New York to further enhance the reliability and speed of execution. On basic accounts the execution speed can be 1-1.5 seconds, while STP-accounts in NPBFX offer execution up to 100-300 ms. A huge difference, especially for scalpers and high-frequency traders, when a part of seconds can decide everything.

3) The best price of execution. NPBFX offers its clients the best market prices provided by the liquidity of Tier 1 banks and ECN systems (Integral, Currenex, Hotspot). Prices from liquidity providers are compared among themselves, and the first best price that satisfies the request is selected. Thus, a client receives the best price from the liquidity provider at the point time.

4) No requotes. Requotes or repeated quotes are the difference between the requested price of the trader and the one that reaches the broker. They can appear in case of strong movements in the market or low quality of execution, prevent closing a losing deal. Requotes are one the "headache" for traders in the market. But not for NPBFX clients.

5) 0 commissions and low spreads. You don’t need to pay any commissions for making deals, like on a ECN account, when a trader pays, for example, 5 units of currency for 1 lot. Additionally, NPBFX offers clients narrow spreads for profitable trading. So, spreads for one of the most popular pairs EURUSD are only from 0,4 ... 0,8 points, depending on the chosen account type.

STP is the quality mark

The execution of client’s deals via STP technology (literal abbreviation from English "Straight Through Processing") opens a new horizon of opportunities for traders, removing the restrictions that traders have to put up with on other account types. Reliability, quality, speed are three milestones on which STP is held. When trading via STP technology you can use any trading strategy without any restrictions, this variant is suitable for long-term,
intraday, and high-frequency traders.

Nowadays STP is the most proper technology, combining innovative solutions for profitable and convenient trade. That’s why NPBFX offers its clients the best. Choose one of the three available account types - Master, Expert or VIP and try trading at new heights with NPBFX.
