End Of 2008 On Mataf - Forex Forum

Hello,
2008 ends with extreme volatility in the foreign exchange market and a record in the number of visitors on Mataf. You were up to 30'000 coming every day to take information on the currency market. To show you the impact of volatility I give you the traffic history graph for the last 4 years.



Today I changed the server. It should be strong enough for 100'000 traders per day On a technical point of view we are ready for 2009.

There will also have a big change in the sponsors. I'll tell you more in February.

I wish you a wonderful end of year and see you in 2009!

Arnaud

PS: I will not be far from the forum...

I guess on next year we’ll get the same levels of volatility or maybe more in currencies as USD. This may be a source of profits for some traders, I guess especially for scalpers but it means traders must be really careful. For me, trying to predict how a pair will fluctuate in long term when loans from governments are increasingly appearing is more than a challenge. Good trades next year! Vanes

If you trade the fx spot the volatility is not a problem.

Currently I often got target @ 200 to 400 pips and stop near -100 pips. The risk/reward oscilate between 1:2 and 1:4

before the "big volatility period" my target were @ 100 to 150 pips and my stop at -30 pips. The risk/reward were the same as now.

mataf end of 2008? does this means there will be no more daily updated analysis till 2009?

Yes Mikeshary... only 10 days wait

Greetings! Arnaud Jeulin,

Let me begin by first saying "Thank You"!!!!! I have been using for your signals for the last year and have done very well.

I have a question with regard to risk/reward ratio. Okay! When you put out a signal (let's say its going up 200 pips), I plot my positions in 20 pips increments (up to the 200 pips). I have been putting my stop losses at 30 pips. So, let's say out of 45 positions I may only loss on 4 or 5 positions (this is my average based upon your signals).

My problem is that I would like to decrease the amount of cash being lost. For example: Each win I make $20 and every loss is $30. How do I change this, so that I have a 2:1 risk/reward ratio (or would you keep this the same). This has been working out well only b/c my losses a minimum. However, you can see that I loss money going in & out trades as well. When I let my trades go for 50 to 60 pips I loss money. What do you suggest? I want to stop going closed out of my positions so early. Holla Back! Dr. P

See you tomorrow

can't wait

first day.... perfect analysis
let's start making money
