Since I trade in precious metals, I am just going to break this down really simple for the idiots who think they will get rich. I don't want anyone to lose their shirts on a FOREX gimmick.
Take a look at the USDX and take a look at the news over those periods. The markets are completely irrational, because they are manipulated. Unless you want one of the big boys to fleece a little guy like you, you should give up now.
Charts and waves are out the window when there isn't a relatively free market.
Lets just use our brains a second. If there are tens of billions to be made, then professionals will come up with a system that is even better than yours to beat you to the punch. There is no such thing as easy money, or everyone would be doing it, leaving no money to make.
