From technical or Fundamentals to how long do I hold trades?<\/p>\n<h2>Technical or Fundamental<\/h2>\n<p>I explained in the webinar when it comes to forex I look at the technicals first. What is the DXY doing? Is money flowing into or out of the $. I then look at the EMAS, MA, trendlines, fibs, MACD divergence. I try to get the big picture first using the Weekly and daily timeframes. I then spot the big areas and look for the multiple reasons to take the trade. In the end, I look at what fundamentals are out and what could ruin the trade if Im going to take it. I also keep an eye on the news to see what is happening in those economies.<\/p>\n<p>As I have mentioned before GDP, interest rates and inflation are the key things for any currency pair. This data decides the price of the currency.<\/p>\n<p>We now have James who is updating the fundamental blog for us. He is also posting weekly fundamentals, so you don&#8217;t have to scratch your idea. Andi also posts fundamentals from time to time. I have provided the links below which you can read in your own time.<\/p>\n<p>(Only members have access to this area)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.forexmentorpro.com\/members-area\/usd-research\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.forexmentorpro.com\/members-area\/usd-research\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.forexmentorpro.com\/members-area\/euro-research\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.forexmentorpro.com\/members-area\/euro-research\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.forexmentorpro.com\/members-area\/mentor-blogs\/fundamental-analysis\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.forexmentorpro.com\/members-area\/mentor-blogs\/fundamental-analysis\/<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>GOLD, stocks, and crypto<\/h2>\n<p>I then moved on to GOLD and explained why I don&#8217;t use leverage to trade it. I do buy the physical metal through a bullion vault and store it in another country. Others might prefer having the physical gold. I also showed I use stocks to leverage on GOLD and make a profit.<\/p>\n<p>Regarding stocks, I will be buying blue chips that pay out good dividends so that they can pay for me while I retire. these can be stocks like Coca-Cola, apple, etc who Waren had invested in many years ago and is making millions yearly in dividends. You need to let money work for you, not the other way around.<\/p>\n<p>I have also invested in Oil stocks and shown you how you can profit. I don&#8217;t trade oil with leverage as that is a dangerous game. It is very political and is affected by many factors, can be very unpredictable at times. Don&#8217;t try to lose your shirt.<\/p>\n<p>Crypto is still trying to break higher but I think it will have its own time when it will surge. Blockchain technology is important and has real-world use.<\/p>\n<p>*Im not a financial adviser and only sharing what I&#8217;m doing to keep up with inflation.<\/p>\n<h3>How long should I hold my trade?<\/h3>\n<p>I explained in the webinar, it depends. If you have taken a position and it has made your 1:2 target then scale out. Learn to scale out of your trades. You don&#8217;t want to be watching a trade going 100 pips and then a news event reversing the whole move with you ending up with 10 pips, or nothing, or even worse a loss. Secondly, if it has done its daily range it could be a good idea to scale out. This is because the chances are the trade might not have more fuel to go further unless it&#8217;s a long-term trade. If it is in a major area chances are people taking their profits, so its a good idea for you to do the same. Learn to take profits along the way, in this way, you will increase the chances of growing your account. If you don&#8217;t have the time to do it then use the VTC software we have mentioned to do the work for you. The link is available in our trusted products and is a good investment in your FX journey.<\/p>\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/www.forexmentorpro.com\/blog\/free-forex-training-course\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-4732 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.forexmentorpro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/650x60-100-Free-training-course-4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"60\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.forexmentorpro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/650x60-100-Free-training-course-4.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.forexmentorpro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/650x60-100-Free-training-course-4-300x28.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/a><\/h2>\n<p>I have added the link below (members only)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.forexmentorpro.com\/members-area\/trusted-products\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.forexmentorpro.com\/members-area\/trusted-products\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>You can watch the full webinar below:<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/NkiMXGq0TII\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Kind regards,<\/p>\n<p>Marc<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi members, In today&#8217;s live session I had the chance to answer several questions from members.
