Soros: Will Oil Cost $200?

Revolutionary events in Egypt had an immediate effect on stock markets. Brent oil prices broke the level of $100 per barrel as early as on 31 January this year, for the first time since 2008. A swarm of analysts fell into a buzz right away - should we expect the black oil to appreciate more? Oil prices started rising because of the threat of closure of the Suez Canal believed by many experts to be our planet's main oil transportation artery. According to forecasts of the Ministry of Oil and Gas Industry of Kuwait, if there are any problems in the Suez Canal oil prices will soon exceed $110. So, this is question No. 1 for the global economic (to name one only) community.

Pakistan: What Trouble will the Region be Exposed to after US Troops are Withdrawn from Afghanistan?

Pakistan: What Trouble will the Region be Exposed to after US Troops are Withdrawn from Afghanistan?

The decision to withdraw American troops from Afghanistan during July 2011 through 2014 has been signed by Barack Obama: to the joy of its numerous foes and open enemies, the USA will suffer another, large-scale defeat after Iraq and struggle against international terrorism advertised everywhere 10 years ago. In euphoria of another slap on Washington's face, the main question remains overlooked: what will happen to Afghanistan and neighboring Pakistan after US and NATO troops are withdrawn from the region? Peace, happiness... or new, even worse trouble for the region and the world.

Pakistan is a major Islamic country with nuclear weapons which might individually face extreme Islamists from Taliban who are not simply on the Pakistan's threshold despite counteraction of NATO and Pakistani troops - they are inside the country waiting for their big day. Increasingly more frequent encounters between the Pakistani army and fundamentalists indicate this better than any most qualified forecasts.

Will the revolutions in the Arab World initiate a crude oil collapse?

The crude oil market is in fever: because of the revolution in Libya the export of crude oil from the country has seen a dramatic decline. The panic and speculations at the market made the prices rally as numerous analysts started speaking about the probability of new, unprecedented problems the global economy might face in the near future, including another wave of the global economic crisis… up to the collapse of the entire global economy. So, how serious are these concerns over the continuous series of revolutions in the Arab world?

Let’s differentiate between the panic, the rumors and the real threats and losses.

According to Masterforex-V Academy experts, in order to answer the question it is necessary to differentiate between the panic, the rumors and the real threats and losses that the global economy is currently suffering as the result of the revolutions. It is necessary to define what role the revolution-ridden countries play in the global supplies of crude oil.

Hong Kong: what are the secrets and valuable experience of the “ideal capitalism”?

The world mass media rarely report about Hong Kong but they always do it always in the superlative degree and high style: The Pearl of the East, the Asian Manhattan, the City of the Future, the Legendary City, the Asian Hollywood etc. The less emotional investors and businessmen of the world underline that first of all Hong Kong is a reference book and an example of the real economic miracle. The area has almost no natural recourses. Only a small percent of its land is suitable for cultivation (agriculture) as almost 90% of the territory is occupied by mountains and hills. That is why food, water, raw materials and fuels are imported. Not to mention frequent earthquakes, typhoons, storms, high humidity and unbearable heat. Over a relatively short period of time Honk Kong made itself known to the rest of the world. It is really interesting how they succeeded in creating a prosperous city of the future in the area where there were no conditions for that.

The Guardian: What Threats do Russians and Russia Pose to the World?

Russophobia means a suspicious, unfriendly and hostile attitude to anything that has to do with Russians and Russia. It seems 'bogeyman stories' of the Cold War about Soviet tanks that took only a few days to cover the distance from GDR to the English Channel or about dull-witted Russians in quilted jackets and felt boots that sell Russian dolls in the market and invariably take bears for a walk around city streets should have vanished along with the Iron Curtain, the USSR, GDR and the Soviet system. Alas! Previous stereotypes about Russians have been replaced with new ones. Recently, modern media of the Misty Albion lack not only materials that show the Russian Federation to advantage, but also simply neutral coverage, as experts of the Land Association of Traders and Investors of Great Britain within the Masterforex-V Academy put it

Is it possible to use analytics to trade Forex successfully?

Is it possible to use analytics to trade Forex successfully?

Probably there is no need to explain that a skilled trader have to analyze a lot of info in order to make right trading decisions. Few traders use only one specific type of analysis. Most often traders combine tech and fundamental analysis.

The market peculiarity is that sometimes even the guru of trading can be wrong, not to mention common traders, especially beginners. Even having thoroughly studied wave analysis and being able to build a Fibonacci grid and Murray levels, or even having mastered quantum analysis, few of us can trade Forex successfully.

Very often beginners lack a piece of advice, a hint to make the right decision, i.e. when it is better to go short or long. Comparing your own results of market analysis with the results shown by more skilled fellow-traders sometimes can be of much help to you, if you are a beginning or intermediate-level trader. Now it is easy to do with “Fresh-forecast”, a brand new tool by Freshforex Company. The company’s representatives recommend using it to define the optimal point of entering the market.

Exclusive trading system TS4ET.

As it was informed by "Market Leader (US)"

Exclusive trading system TS4ET.

Strange as it may seem, but the famous Pareto rule (also known as the “80/20 rule” or the principle of the “vital few and the trivial many” is applicable anywhere. 20% of the world population uses 80% of all the available recourses (if it was vice versa then 80% of efforts would only be 20% efficient).

Trading is based on statistics, which is a terrible thing. It is impossible to deceive it. Figures reveal everything. Out of 100% of traders only about 5% (professionals) earn. They make 20% efforts to achieve 80% results – profit. If you are one of them, just take a break.

The remaining 95% of the traders do not take the rule into account. They are busy deceiving themselves and losing their deposits, time and effort but getting their own “golden” experience.

Out of all those hordes of “traders” who once came to the market planning to conquer it, only those reached success, who:

· Lost their deposits within the first 1-1.5 years

· Stopped trading to reconsider everything and then came back

· Spent money to study 4 or 5 different trading system but didn’t understand anything and decided to create their own TS

· Started using timeframes H1 and higher during the trading process

· Forgot about the super-profitability of 100% a month and higher

· Do not allow the total risk for all the trades to exceed 2.5-5% of the capital.

· First place a stop loss order then open a trade.

GBPUSD volatility preview for Feb 22nd 2011

GBPUSD volatility preview for Feb 22nd 2011

Last week the British Pound managed to regain its positions against the US Dollar and reached the highs of early February. After that GBPUSD started to decline because of the reports about the situation in Libya. During the Asian session it reached the option level at 1.6155. The destabilization in Northern Africa may have a negative impact on the currency market and make GBPUSD decline further down to 1.6100 and lower. The news background is weak. So there will hardly be any reversal of the bearish tendency even despite the fact that independent dealers expect the currency pair to recover in the near future. The option barrier 1.6232 is the key resistance. 1.6155 and 1.6000 are the key support levels.

Who Lives Well in Russia? Part 3

Who Lives Well in Russia? Part 3

Based on the presentation called “Trading peculiarities of the US exchange markets and the development perspectives of the Russian stock market”, FINEXPO Moscow – 2010.

In the previous issues of the Market Leader magazine we considered the main statistics for the stock markets of the US and Russia as well as the info support, which helps to make trading and investment decisions. It became clear that the lack of information on the companies of the Russian stock exchange doesn’t not allow investors to develop long-term investment strategies. So most trading decisions depend on rumors, expectations, inside info, tech analysis or just made at random.

However, there is a shared element – monitoring major indexes – RTSI, S&P500, FTSE and making use of their movements when they are uncoordinated with stocks.

What Salaries Are Paid to Doctors in Russia, Ukraine... and Elsewhere in the World?

By definition, the doctor is one of the most respectable professions in any society. Respectable, but not always and everywhere adequately paid and, as a result, appreciated by the government.

European Brokers Knocking on the Door. But do We Really Need Them?

European Brokers Knocking on the Door. But do We Really Need Them?

It’s hard to imagine that some ten years ago the idea of internet trading was like space flight for most people in the ex-USSR area. Interestingly, even impossible for the majority. Recent years, of course, have changed our compatriots’ world outlook. Trading in financial markets is no longer restricted to the select and has become available to and, later, popular with, the wider public. Hundreds of forums, thousands of sites write about the world of financial operations. Indeed, forex trading is a successful business for some and a decent source of additional income for others especially given that the world of forex has no complex selection criteria for prospects. Everyone’s an equal here – an academician, a student, a parliament member, simply an engineer. What they need is relevant knowledge, startup capital and a reliable broker who would ideally serve as a guide for the market player, their loyal assistant and advocate of the trader’s interests.

However, an unsophisticated person will find it very hard to sift through heaps of various information and find a truly reliable broking company that you could unreservedly trust your own money. Of course, there is a lot of advertising of dealing centers which can often be aggressive and, to put it mildly, not quite true in that it pursues goals unrelated to client care. This is why a person who has made up their mind to try their hand at forex trading finds it very hard to recognize behind all this bright glitter who can really help them join the world of internet trading, become their loyal assistant and, if necessary, reliable advocate.

First International Trading Contest for Professionals by Masterforex-V Academy

First International Trading Contest for Professionals by Masterforex-V Academy

The article on trading contests published in issue 19 of the Market Leader magazine for the Russian-speaking audience caused disputes about the necessity of such contests and their transparency.

It is pleasant to realize that most of the audience speaks IN FAVOR of trading contests. But it is not about some pseudo-contests with some unclear tasks and sudden winners from nowhere. It is about fair and open trading contests with unambiguous tasks, relative transparency and real winners defined by competent jury.

However, it should be noted that both Market Leader and Masterforex-V Academy forum received many negative comments (especially from beginners) on the “scam” trading contests arranged by numerous “dirty” brokers and dealing centers for the only reason: to make traders pay while they are participating in real-account trading contests. Indeed, in such cases skilled «masters of word» compose really inviting ads promising fantastic prizes. So, those beginners who are not familiar with all the pitfalls of such trading contests usually find it very difficult to disregard “the trap” and pass by.

Israel: why did Stalin need a state on “the Holy Land”?

The genuine role played by the USSR and its leader Joseph Stalin in the foundation of Israel is still a closed book as for a number of reasons it isnot beneficial for the US, Russian and Israeli mass media to highlight it. The fact that the creation of Israel was Stalin’s plan still arouses different feelings with the parties concerned: bewilderment, hate or lack of historical memory. So what did Stalin initially need Israel for?

Can Terrorism be Overcome: Ideas, Lessons and Historical Experience

You have to understand the idea behind the phenomenon and analyze the historical experience of achievements, mistakes, miscalculations in its light so you can successfully fight it because, if history doesn’t give a lesson, it repeats.

It’s time to move from feelings to logic and figure out who, when and why resorts to terrorism. Does the world have effective tools against terrorism that has been in the wild for recent decades with only a few breaks?
