After 2-1/2 days spent at Peter Brandt's "How to Trade for a Living" traders' "boot camp," I have a whole new respect for risk management. Peter is obsessed with risk control. I'm sure that's why his trading track record is so astonishing. If you have the opportunity to attend the next Boot Camp, please do.

The U.S. dollar has gained 9 full cents on the euro in less than two weeks. That's a huge move, and people want explanations. And what the media offers boils down to "risk aversion," in light of "the bad news from Greece." And that sounds good -- until you check the timeline.

Careful observers of the forex market will remember that over the past few years, whenever the U.S. dollar would fall to a significant low against the euro and other competitor currencies, the chorus of dollar doomsayers would get louder. And then, as if by magic, the dollar would rebound, to the surprise of the skeptics. Except, there is nothing magical about it -- this free video explains more.

"The method I employ every day has been around since the 1930s, and it works as well as, if not better than, any newfangled technical analysis method for which you must buy some expensive computer software. My method is a form of technical analysis based on the Elliott Wave Principle, which Ralph N. Elliott worked out via hundreds of hand-drawn charts, well before the dawn of charting software..."

Euro Falls, Euro Rallies -- Why, Again?

During the last days of protests in Cairo's Tahrir square, the U.S. dollar gained strongly. Blame instability in the Middle East, said one major news source. Well, the instability has only gotten worse: Since then, protesters have hit the streets of Yemen, Iran, Bahrain and Libya. So that should have really "stoked demand for the safety of U.S. assets"...right? Wrong.

Japanese Yen: Guesswork Vs. Forecasting
The opposite of wild guesses is a certainty. Somewhere in-between is a forecast...

You may have heard that this week, the Japanese yen hit a 13-year high against the U.S. dollar. (To currency traders, this pair is known as the USD/JPY.) Apparently, the yen has "gained a reputation as a safe-haven currency during turbulent times…" In retrospect, that's a perfectly good explanation, but could you have predicted the yen's current strength six months ago? A year ago? It depends on how you went about doing it.
