EUR/USD: EUR is consolidating 24.02.2020

Good afternoon, dear forum visitors!

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

Current trend

EUR shows ambiguous dynamics against USD during today’s Asian session, correcting after an active growth of the instrument last Friday. The reason for the appearance of active uptrend, in addition to technical factors, was good data on the euro area's business activity for February. Markit Manufacturing PMI rose from 47.9 to 49.1 points with a forecast of a decline to 47.5 points. Markit Services PMI for the same period strengthened from 52.5 to 52.8 points, which also turned out to be better than market expectations. Composite Manufacturing PMI in February rose from 51.3 to 51.6 points with a forecast of 51 points.

German data were positive as well. Markit Manufacturing PMI rose sharply from 45.3 to 47.8 points, with the forecast of decline to 44.8 points. Today, traders expect the publication of IFO statistics on business optimism in Germany for February. Otherwise, given the fairly meager economic calendar, a rather quiet start to the new week is expected.

Support and resistance

Bollinger Bands in D1 chart demonstrate a stable decrease. The price range is narrowing, reflecting the emergence of ambiguous dynamics of trading in the short term. MACD indicator is growing preserving a stable buy signal (located above the signal line). Stochastic is showing a more active growth being located in the middle of its area.

The development of a full-fledged uptrend is possible in the short and/or ultra-short term.

Resistance levels: 1.0862, 1.0900, 1.0924, 1.0940.

Support levels: 1.0826, 1.0800, 1.0777, 1.0740.

Trading tips

XAU/USD: gold prices are rising 04.03.2020

Good afternoon, dear forum visitors!

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

Current trend

Gold prices rose sharply at yesterday’s trading, completely leveling the negative dynamics of the instrument at the end of last trading week. A slight increase can be seen during today’s Asian session; however, the “bullish” activity is noticeably reduced. The reason for the surge in purchasing activity for the instrument was a sudden decrease in the interest rate by the Fed after a conference of G7 finance ministers. The US regulator set a precedent, and now investors are even more nervous, expecting similar actions from other banks. Today, investors are focused on macroeconomic statistics from the US on business activity from ISM and Markit. In addition, closer to the end of the afternoon session, the Fed will publish its updated economic review, the so-called Beige Book.

Support and resistance

Bollinger Bands on D1 chart show moderate growth. The price range is narrowing, reflecting ambiguous dynamics of trading in the short term. MACD indicator is recovering forming a new buy signal (located above the signal line). Stochastic keeps the uptrend, approaching its highs rapidly, which may indicate growing risks associated with overbought instrument in the ultra-short term.

Current indications do not contradict further growth of the instrument in the near future.

Resistance levels: 1660.15, 1675.00, 1689.11.

Support levels: 1640.00, 1630.00, 1620.00, 1611.06.

Trading tips

To open long positions, one can rely on the breakout of 1660.15. Take-profit – 1689.11. Stop-loss – 1648.00.

A breakdown of 1640.00 or 1630.00 may be a signal for new sales with target at 1611.06 or 1602.18. Stop-loss – 1645.00 or 1655.00.

Implementation time: 2-3 days.

It is worth looking into the possibility of corrective growth in the short and/or ultra-short term.

Resistance levels: 102.80, 103.67, 104.19, 105.00.

EUR/USD: EUR is corrected 13.03.2020

Good afternoon, dear forum visitors!

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

Current trend

EUR shows corrective growth against USD, recovering from an active decline. The growth of EUR is facilitated by the weakening of USD after Donald Trump’s speech announcing a ban on entering the US from 26 eurozone countries for a month, and allowing the introduction of additional tax and credit exemptions for small and medium-sized enterprises. Investors had expected to hear about new measures to combat coronavirus.

Yesterday, the ECB held a monetary policy meeting, at which Christine Lagarde announced new measures to stimulate the economy. The Bank kept rates at the previous levels and noted that it would increase the volume of additional net asset purchases by EUR 120B. Lagarde called on EU leaders to take decisive actions aimed at stabilizing the economic situation in the region.

Support and resistance

Bollinger Bands in D1 chart show stable growth. The price range is narrowing, reflecting the emergence of ambiguous dynamics of trading in the short term. MACD is going down preserving a stable sell signal (located below the signal line). Stochastic maintains a downward direction, gradually responding to the appearance of corrective dynamics, trying to reverse into a horizontal plane.

Technical indicators don’t contradict the further development of the downtrend in the short and/or ultra-short term. However, it is not advisable to open new short positions, given the emergence of corrective sentiments and the oversold EUR in the ultra-short term.

Resistance levels: 1.1200, 1.1247, 1.1284, 1.1343.

Support levels: 1.1150, 1.1100, 1.1038, 1.1000.

Trading tips

To open long positions, one can rely on the breakout of 1.1247 or 1.1284. Take-profit – 1.1343 or 1.1393. Stop-loss – 1.1200 or 1.1180.

The return of “bearish” trend with the breakdown of 1.1150 may become a signal for new sales with target at 1.1038 or 1.1000. Stop-loss – 1.1220.

Implementation time: 2-3 days.

GBP/USD: GBP shows flat dynamics 23.03.2020

Good afternoon, dear forum visitors!

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

Current trend

GBP is showing uncertain growth against USD during today’s Asian session, trying to win back losses at the opening. The recovery of the instrument proceeds against the background of the growth of corrective sentiment, as investors calmed down after the active support measures undertaken by the leading regulators. Last Thursday, the Bank of England lowered rates to a record level of 0.1% and significantly expanded its quantitative easing program in an effort to minimize the damage from the coronavirus crisis. It is not yet clear how these steps will affect the UK economy, but the markets still got the main signal – politicians and economists are ready to undertake emergency measures to deal with the crisis.

Last Friday’s macroeconomic statistics from the UK was ambiguous. Public Sector Net Borrowing increased from GBP –12.433B to –0.394B. However, the figure was better than the forecast of +0.85B pounds.

Support and resistance

Bollinger Bands in D1 chart demonstrate a stable decrease. The price range is narrowing from above, remaining too spacious for the current activity level in the market. MACD indicator is reversing upwards forming a new buy signal (the histogram is about to consolidate above the signal line). Stochastic retreats from its lows, indicating the corrective growth development in the ultra-short term.

The uptrend may emerge in the short and/or ultra-short term.

Resistance levels: 1.1700, 1.1800, 1.2000, 1.2077.

Support levels: 1.1531, 1.1409, 1.1280.

Trading tips

To open long positions, one can rely on the breakout of 1.1700 or 1.1800. Take-profit – 1.2000, 1.2077 or 1.2200. Stop-loss – 1.1600 or 1.1531, 1.1500. Implementation time: 2-3 days.

A breakdown of 1.1531 or 1.1500 may be a signal for new sales with target at 1.1280, 1.1200 or 1.1150. Stop-loss – 1.1700 or 1.1750. Implementation time: 1-2 days.

Who won the Battle of Traders contest on demo accounts in February 2020? We share our impressions and the results

Hello, dear Forumers!

We present the results of the monthly Battle of Traders contest on demo accounts from NPBFX for February 2020. Who managed to be the champion among the participants and get $1000 to the real account? Who was among the top ten strongest traders in the the contest?

Although February is the shortest month of the year, it has not reduced the number of participants. 1837 traders were competing for the prize fund!

The winner of the contest was the trader with the nickname Rafkat1977 (account number 159116). It is not the first time that he has taken part in the contest this year. However, in January he failed to make it to the top ten. The second attempt of the trader was rewarded with the first place and the positive financial result of $150494.02.

The ten winners also included participants with the nicknames: Victory44, PETRONIK, fazkev, Han, Pash, livermore2020, Doggie, Lungelo, igcom.

As can be seen from table of results, traders' trading results from 2nd 6th place differ by less than 15%. The same pattern can be observed in the statistics of the trading accounts of the contestants from 7th to 10th places. Here the difference in yield figures is less than 10%! One can only imagine what emotions and competitive spirit captured the winners of February on the last days of the competition, when every trade and every $100 was important in the battle! The correct trading strategy and the ability to control  emotions helped the best traders of February to enter the top 10 and get the prize money to the real account.

NPBFX congratulates the winners and thanks all the traders who took part in the contest! Anyone who feels like can try to win in the Battle of Traders contest in March and compete for valuable prizes: the newest  iPhone 11 Pro and the prize fund of $2,500. The contest rules allow using any trading strategy. Each applicant receives a $5000 initial deposit into the demo account. The goal is to be ahead of the competitors in terms of profit, making at least 10 deals and increasing the deposit by 30% or more.

Sign up for the Battle of Traders contest

The winner of the February Battle of Traders is a novice trader from Bashkortostan! Read how he managed it in the interview.

Only a professional trader with extensive experience can win the contest. To win, you need a proven trading strategy. Other participants can be outperformed in terms of profit only by taking greater risks.Rafkat Faritovich Rafikov from Bashkortostan destroyed these three common myths about the Battle of Traders contest when he won the contest in February! He started studying Forex trading very recently in December 2019. He has no specialized financial or mathematical education. Rafkat Faritovich has not either worked out a trading strategy of his own yet. Luck probably played a great part in the win. But the winner realises that, in addition to luck, good trading conditions on the contest account in NPBFX, risk control, as well as the high volatility of gold in February helped him to win. The trader opened most of his deals on gold (XAU/USD). Taking into account his brief trading experience, Rafkat Faritovich's result can be considered as excellent! All he regrets is, “Almost got to the iPhone”. In the interview with the winner you will read about where and how he learned about trading, what personal qualities he considers to be the most important for success in trading and what profession he has.

- Rafkat Faritovitch, Please tell us how you found out about the Battle of Traders contest and why you decided to take part in it?

- I was invited to participate in the contest by my personal manager. I agreed, because I wanted to make money and try myself out. I was already registered at NPBFX before that.

- What emotions did the news of your victory evoke? Have you already talked about it to some friends and the family?

- I was very happy with the victory, very happy! Too bad that I couldn't win the iPhone, didn't get a little bit! (is laughing)

I haven't told any family members about the victory yet.

- You've passed all stages of the contest: from registration to winner's position. What can you say about the terms and organization of the contest in our company?

- Everything is thought out very well. The contest is especially useful for beginners.

The terms of the contest are very good, it's easy to trade. Sometimes there is too much gambling. But I take the risks into consideration. After moving to 10th place I set a goal to be first and achieved it!

- In February you showed an excellent trading result, by increasing the initial deposit of $5,000 thirtyfold (to $150 494)! What trading strategy did you use? What is the essence of it?

- I don't have my own trading strategy at the moment. I opened the deals on a retest: twice the wave and on the third I opened.

- The total number of deals on your account is 112. More than half of the deals, to be exact 62, you have opened on the XAU/USD currency pair. What is the reason for your choice in favour of gold?

- The volatility of gold was good during the contest. Gold was growing a lot for a week, and next week there was a fall. I caught that situation and was lucky.

- Tell us how you organized your trading on the contest account technically: you used the MT4 mobile terminal, managed the account manually or with the help of robot advisors?

- I didn't use any advisors. Why would I need them? I manually opened all the trades myself. I only traded from the phone – I have no computer, no laptop, nothing.

- As far as I know you also participated in the Battle of Traders contest in January but you were not among the winners. Was your trading strategy different for the first and the second time?

- Yes, it was. I was watching strategies on YouTube, tried to replicate on my account, as I remember it. I constantly study the information on video clips. Even before our conversation I was also studying.

- Rafkat Faritovitch, did you check online monitoring of the Battle of Traders participants during the contest? How useful was it?

- Yes, I constantly reviewed the monitoring data. Especially, when I got to 10th place. Then I became focused on trading. Of course, the monitoring was useful.

- How much time per day did you usually spend on trading in the contest?

- I was holding the phone in my hands for about two hours a day. I was monitoring the account: if the trade went down– I closed it, if it went up– I held on to it, moving to stop losses and take profits.

- 1000$ have already been credited to your real trading account at NPBFX. Are you going to trade on it in the same way as on a demo account in the contest?

- How is it gonna be. Most likely, yes.

- Rafkat Faritovitch, we'd like to know more about you as a trader: how long have you been trading Forex? Why did you decide to trade?

- I consider Forex as an additional income. Last December I registered on the website of your company - NPBFX. Four years ago I tried to trade with another company, but there was no understanding and I gave up.

- Did you study trading yourself through books, videos or attend special courses, webinars?

- I started studying in December last year. I study mostly on my own on YouTube videos. And this Thursday I signed up for a webinar with your company.

- What character traits do you think a trader must have to be successful in Forex?

- Patience, first of all. It's also very important not to panic and comply with money management.

- What do you consider your greatest achievement in trading for today?

- I won the “Battle of the Traders” contest! I had a strike of luck.

- Tell us a little more about yourself: Where you are from? What's your main profession, are you married, what are your interests?

- I am from Russia, Bashkiria. I work as a driver at a factory, have 4 children, who must be fed. My main hobby now is Forex.

- Would you advise your friends and acquaintances to join the Battle of Traders contest? Why?

- Many of my acquaintances are afraid of the word “Forex”, so I wouldn't give them any advice. I passed the verification at you quickly and easily, it's easy.

- What would wish to NPBFX and participants of the following Battle of Traders contests?

- Success to participants! To NPBFX I wish prosperity and to be number one in broker ratings!

- Rafkat Faritovitch, we wish you new victories and achievements on financial markets! And let the trading on NPBFX real account be as successful as on your contest account!

Current trend

USD is showing moderate growth against CHF during today's Asian session, recovering from a sudden decline yesterday. The "bullish" rally of USD, which developed over 6 consecutive sessions, was interrupted by a surge of optimism in the market. Investors evaluated published statistics from Europe on the dynamics of the incidence and mortality from the virus and believed in reaching the peak of the epidemic. Nevertheless, there are still plenty of uncertainties in the market, so the demand for risk remains weak.

Today, investors are focused on the release of the Fed Meeting Minutes. Market participants expect to receive additional information about the prospects of monetary policy in the near future from the document.

Support and resistance

On the D1 chart Bollinger Bands are reversing downwards. The price range is narrowing from above, reflecting the emergence of ambiguous dynamics of trading in the ultra-short term. MACD indicator tries to reverse downwards and form a sell signal (the histogram has to consolidate below the signal line). Stochastic is ahead of the curve and at the moment has already significantly retreated from its highs, signaling that USD is overbought in the ultra-short term.

It is worth looking into the possibility of corrective decline in the short and/or ultra-short term.

Support levels: 0.9684, 0.9628, 0.9600, 0.9500.
