My purpose in writing this blog is to show you how one trader, me, makes trading decisions and survives while trading Forex. One of the biggest problems I had when I first started trading was trying to apply the “rules” to actual trades. Another was the psychology—limiting losses and letting profits run. If you study my blog, you’ll see how I deal with both those issues. So my writings are not trade recommendations but rather educational in purpose. You have to decide on your own approach to trading. Remember that trading is risky.

2010 Highs and Lows

Here are the year's highs and lows for 2010. The date of the high or low is in parenthesis. Only one pair made a new high at the end of the year—AUDUSD—while the USD suffered, making new lows on 12/31 against both the Canadian dollar and the Swiss Franc. GBPJPY also made a new low on 12/30. Some of this is most likely due to low liquidity and the resulting market extremes. Liquidity may continue to be low for the next couple of days.
