So after yet another hiatus from trading forex, I just recently had my first trade in months. It was a successful one also. But the question I want to answer is, “Is this blog dead?” The answer is no. I’ve made a living over the past 3 years ducking in and out of here depending on what’s going on in my life. Sometimes I’m just too swamped at my real job, other times I just don’t feel like writing, but I always come back. The great thing is I’ve built up a lot of content over the years so a lot of it applies to the type of forex trader you’re trying to become.
So where do I go from here? I’m in the mood to start trading forex again so that’s what I’m going to do. I’m also going to talk a little about stocks. I’ve had a lot of success, believe it or not, trading the stock market in the last couple of months and I think I’ve learned some things that I could apply to trading forex. So you’ll hear me talk about some of these things also.
Stay tuned….

Hi dear future Forex trader,
Alan here with a quick
courtesy reminder…
At 11:59pm Eastern time TOMORROW, January 1st, the step-by-
step trading course that’s turning the Forex community on
its ear is being PULLED FROM THE MARKET.
That’s right - you only have 24 hours (or less) to get your
hands on the Forex Income Engine as part of the ’second
chance’ offer.
And depending on when you read this message, it may already
be too late.
See if any copies are remaining here:
http://www.forexonyourterms.com/y/?i=773362&u=2&l=f23
Just a few weeks ago the doors opened for a rare glimpse
into what could quite possibly be the turning point you’ve
been looking for in your Forex trading. The only way to know
is if you act quickly enough to join the group of charter
traders who are already on board…
-there’s only room for a small handful more.
(Will you join this select group of smart traders that will
have unfettered access to a 30+ year market veteran for a
FULL YEAR?)
Remember, this step-by-step home study course is a multi-
media powerhouse that reveals the quickest & most flexible
way to achieve INDEPENDENCE in the Forex markets & shield
yourself from risk…
-ESPECIALLY if you’re inexperienced & have little time.
Get it here:

Good Trading,
Alan

first to be contacted. However, it may be 4, 5, 6 months or more
before this happens.

Dear Fellow Trader,
I just got a note from Bill Poulos, developer of the brand new
Forex Income Engine home study course, where he shares some
actual feedback from some of his new students who picked up the
course a few weeks ago.
These are ‘raw & unedited’, but I thought I’d share them with
you in case you’re ‘on the fence’ about picking up a copy of
this course before the current ’second chance’ offer comes down
this Thursday, January 1st.

“Hi Bill, I know you will probably hear it a lot, but just to
let you know that on my first paper trading tryout with the
methods I racked up 46 pips in 3 trades of maybe 10-30 minutes
each. One in 15 min candles, and the others in 5 min candles. If
my trade account would permit, that would have been $460USD, or
in home country dollars, about $867 NZD. One trade before dinner
and two since.
ciao 4 now.
thanks 4 your methods. john k.”*
“Your videos are excellent. I had some reservation about the
complexity of this method but I can see that it is not that
difficult once you master it… I am very glad I purchased your
product… Keep up the great work.
David K.”
“Thus far am very pleased with the method. Every trader has
heard the old axiom to ‘bu y on a dip and sell on a rally’. The
problem for me with that saying has always been that I had
difficulty telling the difference between a pullback and a price
reversal. I am particularly impressed with the rules of this
method that help distinguish that difference. So far I have had
four wi nning trades and no losses on my demo account and am up
about 3% after 3 days of trading. I look forward to seeing how
the method works this coming week. Thanks for a terrific course!
Steve J.”

There is a substantial risk of loss associated with trading

In the past, only long-term investors, banks and people who had great capitals could participate in the
forex market. The trading occurred through an agent or voice broker who informed clients on what was going on.

The H.3 statistical release indicates that nonborrowed reserves of depository institutions were negative for much of 2008 but more recently have turned positive.
By definition, nonborrowed reserves are equal to total reserves minus borrowed reserves. Borrowed reserves are equal to the sum of credit extended through the Federal Reserve's regular discount window programs and credit extended through certain Federal Reserve liquidity facilities. Total borrowings from the Federal Reserve are presented in table 1a of the release. Over much of 2008, in order to maintain a level of total reserves consistent with the Federal Open Market Committee's objective for the federal funds rate, increases in borrowed reserves were offset through a nearly commensurate decrease in nonborrowed reserves, which was accomplished through a reduction in the Federal Reserve's holdings of securities and other assets. The negative level of nonborrowed reserves was an arithmetic result of the fact that borrowings from the Federal Reserve liquidity facilities were larger than total reserves.
More recently, nonborrowed reserves have again turned positive. This development is purely an arithmetic result, in this case of the fact that a large volume of reserves has recently been provided through channels that, for purposes of the Federal Reserve's statistical releases, are not considered borrowings. These channels include foreign currency swap arrangements with foreign central banks and certain special purpose vehicles. Credit extended to these special purpose vehicles are not shown on the Federal Reserve's balance sheet. Rather, as noted on the H.4.1 statistical release, the assets of these vehicles are consolidated onto the Federal Reserve's balance sheet, and consequently credit extended to these special purpose entities is not treated as a borrowing for purposes of the H.3 statistical release.
