Triangle Formations In Currency Trading (Part I)

By Ahmad Hassam

Triangle formations appear relatively common in charts. Triangles are one of the best depictions of decreasing price volatility in the currency price charts. Through triangle formations you can ride on a potentially high momentum move that is likely to occur after a period of decreasing volatility.

All triangles show decreasing price volatility in action. When a particular type of triangle has been identified by the trader, a high probability trade is in sight when the technicals are coupled with the current market sentiment.

Triangles are also known as Wedges. There are basically three types of triangles: 1) Ascending, 2) Descending and 3) Symmetrical. Triangles are basically continuation patterns but they can also be reversal patterns. This depends on the different types of triangles and whether they occur in an uptrend or a downtrend.

Ascending Triangle: An ascending triangle can be easily identified by its upward sloping trendline. This upward sloping trendline creates the lower boundary of the ascending triangle. It is basically a bullish signal when you see an ascending triangle on the chart. An ascending triangle can be either a continuation or reversal pattern.

The upper boundary is roughly horizontal and this horizontal line should connect at least two price points. The horizontal line represents the resistance level. What is the crowd psychology behind an ascending triangle? There are sellers in the market who push the price down every time the currency price goes up to the resistance level.

When the prices retreat from their high and are on the way down, there are buyers who believe very strongly that the currency price should rise based on their own reasons. The buyers thus bid the prices higher than the previous low forming the upward slope of the triangle.

The triangle is formed when these two lines, one sloping and the other horizontal converge at one point. Breakouts tend to occur in the middle or the third of the triangle formation measuring from the start of the triangle to the tip. The appearance of an ascending triangle should prepare you for an upside breakout form the resistance.

The general guideline is this that when you see an ascending triangle during an uptrend, it is seen as an uptrend continuation pattern. But if it formed during an existing downtrend, it acts as a bullish reversal pattern.

Descending Triangles: Even though it can be a continuation or reversal pattern, a descending triangle is viewed as a bearish formation. A descending triangle and an ascending triangle are the opposite of each other.

A descending triangle can be identified by the downward slope of the trendline which is formed by connecting the lower price highs. This downward sloping trendline forms the upper boundary of the triangle. The horizontal lower boundary of the triangle represents the support level and it is formed by connecting at least two price points. - 23229

BlackHorseFund: Uses Experience And Tactics To Succeed

By Robert Miller

July 27, 2009, Los Angeles California " A successful investor is often one who has been through it all before and knows what they are doing; they bring a practiced eye to the complexities of the market. One Forex fund is delivering exactly that to its investors.

Current investing is the name of the game for BlackHorse Fund, a private California-based Forex fund. It strives to create substantial ROI for its investors through successful trades that are achieved by tapping into the knowledge and best practices of veteran investors

Forex is a huge and liquid market, necessary to the world's economy. Trillions of dollars of currency are bought and sold each day by savvy investors who buy one currency and sell another and wait for those currencies to change in value.

The foreign exchange market may be the largest market in the world but it is daunting for investors who are typically used to the equity market or CD's. Indeed, it takes skill and experience to successfully manage the risks and to trade effectively in currency. That's the reason that many investors choose to invest with a fund, a pool of investors rather than on their own. BlackHorse Fund is such a pool.

BlackHorse Fund's team of traders and analysts are second to none in their field. They bring deep industry experience as professional Forex investors, Forex trainers, Forex authors, and Forex researchers with decades of collective experience in the industry. They have their fingers on the pulse of the market

Experience is only half of the story at BlackHorse Fund. The other half of the story is their technique: The team combines their experience with specific best practices and a proprietary algorithm that has proven to be extremely market-intuitive.

With a powerful team and technique in place, this fund has grown dramatically, earning stellar results for its select pool of investors. While real numbers cannot be disclosed, the fund's traders have made successful trades that have more than doubled the initial investment.

This private fund is managed by BlackHorse Management LLC and is made up of these managers as well as a group of limited partners who each invest a minimum sum of money into this exclusive fund. While new investors are occasionally invited to join, membership is exclusive and based on an exhaustive process. - 23229
