INDICATORS. 

Alligator

The “Alligator” is a very interesting indicator of market direction and periods of no trend. Its main goal is to determine the trend direction and its strength.

Why do we need it?

• Defines the trend.
• Defines the entry points.

The main function of the Alligator is to determine the trends: whether it’s the bullish (buyers) or the bearish (sellers) dominating the market, which means that the indicator can be used for the trending periods in the market.

How to use?

1. Select the ‘Alligator’ indicator from the list of indicators.
2. Without changing the settings, click ‘Apply’
3. The indicator was reflected in your chart and is ready to use.

How does it work?

The mechanisms are pretty simple – the indicator represents a combination of three smooth Moving Averages indicating different time periods and moves. It is important that the Moving Averages are smooth rather than simple or belonging to any other type: they minimize the impact of the market noise and minor market fluctuations on the chart. Bill Williams called these Moving Averages the Balance Lines, as they show the price that would prevail in the market when no other factors intervene.

Each Moving Average received its own name:

• Alligator’s Jaw
• Alligator’s Teeth
• Alligator’s Lips

The Alligator strategy

1. Apply the Alligator indicator to the chart. You will see 3 lines of the Alligator’s “jaw”.
2. The moment when the indicator lines are intertwined indicates that the Alligator is asleep. The longer it sleeps, the hungrier it becomes. This is a waiting period whenthe trading activity is inadvisable..
3. Once the Alligator wakes up it begins to “yawn”, thus opening its “jaw.” This is the right moment for entering the market.
   • Opening the jaws up signals further growth and buying the call option.
   • Opening the jaws down signals further decline and buying the put option.
4. Having eaten enough, the Alligator starts to lose its interest in “food” and the indicator lines are intertwined again. This sends signal to end the trade and wait for the next signal.

Advanced usage

Important notice: Like any other method of technical analysis, the Alligator indicator may show delayed signals. False signals may also occur; therefore the Alligator requires maximum optimization, according to certain market conditions and certain assets.

• After selecting the Alligator indicator, you will see the settings page.

• On increasing the number of periods, the Alligator becomes optimized for a more volatile market. The indicator will provide fewer, yet more accurate signals.
• On decreasing the number of periods, the Alligator becomes optimized for the trending market. The indicator will provide more signals, but the accuracy will depend on the trend strength.

EUR/GBP. Key event – EU CPI and unemployment rate report (April 29th, 12:00 GMT +3)

After the European Central Bank lowered the refinancing rate to 0% and the deposit rate to -0.4%, inflation began to rise slightly, and, for the first time in the past few months, the annual inflation rate has ceased to be in the negative zone. After the key refinancing rate, inflation is a key point to watch in the eurozone at the current moment. Representatives of the ECB are trying to do everything possible to disperse it to the target value of 2-2.5%. If the inflation rate is higher than expected, it will positively influence the value of the common European currency.

USDJPY. Key event – Japan CPI and unemployment rate report (April 28, 02:30 GMT +3)

Due to certain issues in the Asian region, especially in China, investors have started to shift assets to the Japanese yen, considered to be a protective asset. That resulted in strong growth of the yen's value, which allowed for Bank of Japan representatives to seize the moment and take unpopular measures to accelerate inflation. As in the Eurozone, inflation in Japan is kept near zero, and the Bank of Japan handles similar issues with the acceleration of inflation. If it grows, it positively influences the yen's value.

EURUSD. Key economic event – US FOMC Meeting (April 27th, 21:00 GMT +3)

Regular meeting of the Federal Open Market Comittee takes place this week. The issue of changing the refinancing rate will be discussed. Unfortunately, the latest economic numbers from the United States have been decreasing slightly - inflation is slowing and the industrial production level is falling. Given these conditions, it is unlikely that the refinancing rate will see any changes, and if it stays at the current level, attention should be paid to the subsequent press conference, at which the current status of the US economy will be discussed. If the refinancing rate is not increased, it may adversely affect the value of the dollar. Read more...http://www.darbasinternete.net/forex-trading-news/params/post/846073/

USD/CAD. Main event of the week: inflation data in Canada (April 22, 15:30 GMT +3)

Inflation reduces the purchasing power of CAD. The Bank of Canada aims to achieve the inflation range of 1% -3%. In general, the high value of this parameter is a precursor to rate increase and therefore the foreseeable growing trend. If the inflation rate in Canada is higher than it was predicted, the Canadian dollar will be strenghten. Read more...http://www.darbasinternete.net/forex-trading-news/params/post/841342/

The European Central Bank Board Meeting

EUR/USD. Main event of the week: The European Central Bank Board Meeting (April 21, 14:45 GMT +3)

This week a meeting of the European Central Bank is taking place: the participants are going to present a report on refinancing rate.

Last time, in order to stimulate the economy and accelerate inflation, they lowered the refinancing rate from 0.05% to 0% and reduced the deposit rate.

Last week, on April 14, the inflation data for the Eurozone was published. The figures turned out to be slightly better than expected, hence they favorably influence the course of the European single currency.

A common way to fight inflation is to raise rates in order to attract foreign investments.

The growing trend retains for a long time. RSI is kept within overbought levels, thus drastic changes are not expected.

GBP/USD. Main event of the week: Retail sales in the UK (April 21, 11:30 GMT +3)

Recently, GBP has steadily decreased. In addition to weak economic statistics, UK is also threatened by “Brexit” – the United Kingdom European Union membership referendum.

Due to the risks associated with this uncertainty, investors are shifting into other assets, and GBP continues to fall. Investors plan to hold a referendum in summer (June or July).

The indicators were higher than was expected over the last report. The increase is seen as a positive GBP movement. This indicator has a very strong influence on inflation. If this week’s retail sales, as in the past two months, are better than was expected, it will have a large positive effect for the currency.

AUDUSD. Main event of the week: a report on unemployment rate in Australia to be published on April 14, 04:30 GMT +3

Australia’s economy continues to grow after a difficult past year. Recent economic performance, as well as labor market data look quite promising. Within the last five months, the unemployment rate in Australia has been below the optimal level of 6%, and as long as it remains unchanged it has a positive impact on the Australian dollar:

AUDUSD chart:

Currently, the D1 chart does not show a strong aimed movement of AUDUSD, as confirmed by CCI and the Bollinger Bands. Perhaps, the publication of new economic data will again impulse the price movement.

Bank Loans in Japan
After the Governor of the Bank of Japan released a statement declaring that it’s time for the countries to stop endless money-printing, the Japanese yen continued to strengthen again and the quote now is at the lowest point in the last 18 months. However, the Bank of Japan will surely enjoy such a favorable situation by periodically reducing deposit rates and applying other measures in order to stimulate the economy. The volume of bank lending affects the inflation level: if this volume grows, it has a positive impact on the Japanese yen.

USDCAD. Key event – Unemployment Rate (Canada) (April 5th 15:30 GMT +3)

During the last two months Canadian unemployment rate was significantly worse than expectations. What is more, low oil prices is a massive negative factor for the economy of this country. If the actual result is worse than the expectation yet again it will have a massive negative effect on the value of Canadian Dollar.

As well as many other major currencies, Canadian Dollar strengthened against American Dollar last week. At one point total decrease was almost 300 points. But at the end of the week there was a somewhat upward correction. Start trading with FREE DEMO https://iqoption.com/promo/binary-options_en/?aff=21262

15 MISTAKES NEW TRADERS MAKE ( PART 1 )

1) Lack of basic knowledge.

The most common mistake of new traders is the lack of basic knowledge about trading and how the market operates. 
Many traders start trading once they have read several articles on strategies and are sure they will be just fine.

Believing in your strength is great but as any other profession, trading requires learning and practice, especially because the financial risk is involved.

2) Trusting others too much.

A very common mistake of the traders is trusting 3rd parties with managing their accounts, or depending on signals, strategies and indicators too much.

You can see many people offering you trading guidance under our publications, please mind that no skilled trader can give you 100% guarantee that their approach will be successful.
Your trading depends on your own skills and market understanding, please stay alert and do not pay “professionals” for trading in your stead.

There is no magic wand or a secret of the quick way to success, it's all in your hands.

3) Seeing trading as a type of entertainment.

Traders need to be responsible for their actions and realise that trading is not a way to have fun, it actually is a hard work which requires serious approach.

Perceiving trading as a game includes ardour, which stands behind the financial loss.

It is important that traders understand the way the market operates, what may influence the asset trend and the profit percent.

4) Losing signals.

Being indecisive or scared to open orders in accordance with the set strategy and indicators is a big mistake.

Not following the signals means trading intuitively, which is too risky.

Even if the deal appears to be not in the money, no worries, consistency is the key to success.

5) No risk management:

It is of the utmost importance to control your spendings and act within the set borders.

Among the most common ways of loss prevention is setting the limit for the spendings and not investing more than 1%-3% from your current balance.

You can reinvest the clear profit from the previous deal, so that you do not risk the initial balance.

You can set a particular amount of funds you are ready to spend and if you feel like it is not going well- just call it a day and come back later.

You can also use Hedging or locking, we will talk about these later on.

AUDUSD. Key event – Interest Rate Decision (Bank of Australia) (April 5th 07:30 GMT +3)

Bank of Australia management rejected the idea of lowering the interest rate during these difficult times for the Asia-Pacific region, and this monetary policy has started to pay dividends in the last couple of months. It is expected that the rate will stay the same after the next Bank of Australia management meeting; however, it is very important to learn the governor’s opinion on the current economic situation in the country as well as to listen to their economic development plans.

EURUSD. Key event – Eurozone Retail Sales report (April 5th 12:00 GMT +3)

Retail Sales report has a massive impact on inflation. EU CPI data was published last week and year-over-year inflation remains in the negative area and that is very bad. It is expected that this month the numbers will decrease again and if the actual results are the same as the forecast – it will have a negative impact on European currency:  

What is more, Eurozone PPI (Producer Price Index) data will be published this week as well. It shows how the commodity prices influence the final prices for customers.

If the numbers decrease it might have a negative impact on CPI:
