Discover Trading Secrets from Forex Traders that Use Them

Let us Prove Our Forex Trading Systems BEFORE You Invest a Penny -- FREE Video Training Course!
Daily Mentoring and Training by our Professional Forex Traders, not trainers.


We are ALWAYS improving our software and that same commitment to excellence is applied to our training. Here;s what's New!


1) Daily Trading Zones - These high probability buy/sell areas are human derived each and every day by looking at multiple time frame charts and using longer term Fibonacci Retracements, Fibonacci Profit Targets, Daily, Weekly, and Monthly Pivot Points, Daily Moving Averages (20, 50 and 200) and also each currencies Average True Range statistics.

We look for STRONG areas of support and resistance at or near each currencies average range. This takes us about an hour to do each night to prepare for the next day's trading. All YOU need to do is add a special indicator to the charts that we give our mentor students, the password will be provided upon joining!





Also Included Trading Zone Audio Alerts - Too busy to watch the Forex markets 24 hours a day? So are we! So we put in Audio, Email AND even Cell Phone Alerts. When the market hits our high probability buy/sell areas you will know and can then take a look to see if its a trade you wish to take.


The chart to the right is an example of what our Trading zones look like. These are actual levels we called out the day before for the GBP/USD. We believe this can help traders spot and locate areas where trends may not continue. We believe these levels make good areas to also do counter trend trades. Many of our traders tell us this is their favorite part of our mentoring!




2) Currency Overview Email - Every mentor student will be provided with our Daily Currency Trading Plan. In this nightly email we setup both what happened today and what we expect is most likely to happen tomorrow. You can see an example from our May 15, 2008 commentary to the right. We let you know IF price is Above a certain level BUY and if below a
level look for shorts. We also provide areas we feel will stall or possibly reverse the current
trend.
Our traders find this incredibly helpful as this gives them a ROADMAP in which to trade!


3) Intraday Currency Update! - We also email out every weekday morning what is going on in the currencies and price levels we are looking to buy or sell them and why! As you will see in the real example on the right, we also let you know what price has to be broken for the current trend to end. In the GBP/USD example on the right its clear you should look for shorts as long as price was below 1.9465. If that level gets broken then look for buys.


This information we've found is invaluable for NEW TRADERS who have no clue how the markets work but through reading our commentary and coming to our classes and watching our training videos over time will learn how to do this analysis for themselves. Our experienced traders also love our commentary as it gives them more confidence in their trades when our opinion matches their own!

Keep in mind most Commentary or Signal Services charge $100 to $500 per month for this information that we give all of our Mentor Students at NO ADDITIONAL CHARGE.

Risk Disclaimer: Trading spot currencies involves substantial risk and there is always the potential for loss. Your trading results may vary. Because the risk factor is high in the foreign exchange market trading, only genuine "risk" funds should be used in such trading. If you do not have the extra capital that you can afford to lose, you should not trade in the foreign exchange market.

We at LeverageFX have noticed an incredible improvement in our traders performance once they set goals. Having trading goals helps keep traders disciplined to have the patience to wait for the very best, low risk, high probability trades and it helps them stay focused on keeping their losses low. For instance if your goal is 10 pips per day and you are up 8 pips after your first trade, you are going to be careful not to lose that profit and you only need 2 more pips to hit today's goal. On good days many traders make 10 to 50 pips and this helps them offset losing days, keeping them on TARGET to reach and exceed their goals. **

Dollar Falls Against Yen as U.S. Reports Show Slower Growth

Nov. 24 (Bloomberg) -- The dollar weakened to the lowest level versus the yen in a month after reports showed the U.S. economy expanded at a slower pace in the third quarter than initially estimated and home prices dropped from a year earlier.


Japan’s currency gained against all 16 major counterparts and is set to post its first monthly increase versus the greenback since September. The Federal Reserve is scheduled to release at 2 p.m. today the minutes from the Nov. 4 policy meeting where it lowered the amount of agency debt it plans to purchase by March.

“Any negative data could cause people to shirk the risk- seeking trades,” said Brian Kim, a currency strategist at UBS AG in Stamford, Connecticut. “The minutes are going to be one of the larger focuses.”

The dollar fell 0.5 percent to 88.57 yen at 12 p.m. in New York from 88.97 yesterday, after touching 88.36, the lowest level since Oct. 9. The euro declined 0.2 percent to $1.4938 and slumped 0.6 percent to 132.32 yen.




The euro swung to a loss versus the dollar after a U.S. consumer confidence report showed an unexpected increase in November. The New York-based Conference Board’s index advanced to 49.5 from 48.7 in October and beat economist predictions for a decline to 47.3.

The pound fell against the euro on speculation the U.K. central bank will extend its asset purchase program after Bank of England Governor Mervyn King said the U.K. economy faces “profound challenges.” Sterling fell as much as 0.5 percent to 90.57 pence per euro from 90.10 pence yesterday.


Mexican Peso

Japan’s yen gained against higher-yielding counterparts including the Mexican peso and South African rand as share prices globally slumped. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index fell 0.3 percent and the MSCI World Index of shares slid 0.6 percent. Benchmark rates of 4.5 percent in Mexico and 7 percent in South Africa exceed Japan’s 0.1 percent overnight lending rate.

The yen was the only major currency to rise against Mexico’s peso today after Pacific Investment Management Co. said the Latin American currency is one of the cheapest in emerging markets and may rise as much as 20 percent over the next year. Fitch Ratings cut Mexico’s foreign debt rating yesterday by one level to BBB.

The peso advanced 0.5 percent to 7.4749 per Brazilian real and 1.2 percent to 9.3802 versus the New Zealand dollar. It declined 0.3 percent to 6.846 yen.




“The peso is one of the cheapest currencies in emerging markets,” said Guillermo Osses, who helps oversee about $50 billion in emerging-market assets at Pimco, manager of the world’s biggest bond fund. “External accounts will improve.”

Osses predicts the peso will advance between 10 percent to 20 percent in one to two years as the U.S. economy recovers. He also said Pimco may add to its holdings of Mexican assets.


U.S. Growth

The U.S. government’s revised figures for third-quarter gross domestic product showed the world’s largest economy expanded at a 2.8 percent annual rate, slower than the Commerce Department’s 3.5 percent estimate last month.

“In the current environment a weak U.S. gross domestic product number weighs on sentiment,” said Antje Praefcke, a currency analyst at Commerzbank AG in Frankfurt. “Traders are a little more sensitive to sentiment changes because they want to get out of positions ahead of the long U.S. weekend.”

The Fed said on Nov. 4 that it plans to reduce its purchases of agency debt to $175 billion from the previous $200 billion. Fed Bank of St. Louis President James Bullard said on Nov. 22 that the central bank should maintain the purchase program to give policy makers “the option to react” to future events beyond March.

“It’s going to be interesting to see if there are more ‘Bullardish’ comments” in the Fed’s minutes, said Kim of UBS.


Fed on Hold

The U.S. central bank will probably have to keep rates close to zero until 2011, encouraging investors to send funds abroad to earn higher returns, according to JPMorgan Chase & Co. The dollar will weaken to $1.62 per euro in the second quarter next year, currency strategists led by John Normand in London wrote in the investment bank’s Global FX Outlook 2010.

“Fed policy is a key driver because it determines the dollar’s attractiveness as a funding currency,” Normand said in an interview. Normand said in an interview. “The dollar’s decline is more than a carry trade. Global investors’ preference for non-U.S. equities, rising merger and acquisition outflows from the U.S. and central-bank reserve diversification are compounding the dollar’s decline.”




In carry trades, investors borrow in one currency to invest in others that offer higher yields. Increasing price swings in foreign-exchange markets increase the risk of losses on such strategies by boosting the odds that the funding currency strengthens and makes it more expensive to repay the loan.

The S&P/Case-Shiller home-price index increased 0.27 percent from the prior month, after a 1.13 percent rise in August, the group said. The gauge fell 9.36 percent from September 2008, more than forecast, yet the smallest year-over- year decline since the end of 2007.

The EUR and other higher yielding currencies maintained their gains during Monday's trading as global stocks, Oil and Gold rallied.

In an interview Sunday, Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis President James Bullard said he would prefer the central bank to extend its purchases of mortgage-backed securities beyond March to give policy makers more flexibility in directing the economy toward recovery. The statement added to concern the market is being flooded with greenbacks, putting pressure on the currency.
