| A Good Trader Always Seeks to Improve - Our Top Lessons of 2015 Posted: 17 Dec 2015 02:00 PM PST A good trader never stops learning, and every mistake is another potential learning experience. Here are some of the top lessons our analysts learned, absorbed or suffered from our personal trading in 2015. |
| Trading Lesson of 2015: Be Willing to Step Outside Your Comfort Zone Posted: 17 Dec 2015 02:00 PM PST Adjust your strategy to market conditions, or risk sitting on the sidelines for an unknown period – perhaps longer than you’d like. |
| Trading Lesson of 2015: Look Before You Jump, not When You Jump Posted: 17 Dec 2015 02:00 PM PST Nothing is more important than planning your trade and trade plan. But once you’ve done all of the necessary preparations, don’t overthink—look before you jump, not WHEN you jump. |
| Trading Lesson of 2015: Beware of Stretched Market Expectations/Positions Posted: 17 Dec 2015 02:00 PM PST Be careful of over-stretched market expectations due to diverging global monetary policy, as the global easing cycle seems to approach an end. |
| Trading Lesson of 2015: Be Mindful of Sentiment Extremes...Always! Posted: 17 Dec 2015 02:00 PM PST Everything seems most bullish at market tops and bearish at market bottoms. Keep this in mind and you stand a better chance of avoiding major sentiment extremes. |
| Trading Lesson of 2015: Know What You Don’t Know Posted: 17 Dec 2015 02:00 PM PST Risk management is indispensable under all market conditions—no matter how clear a trade opportunity may seem. Be alert to what you know and, more importantly, what you don’t. |
| Trading Lesson of 2015: A Pinch of Patience Posted: 17 Dec 2015 02:00 PM PST Acting patiently and trading with a free mind—devoid of market noise—can allow you to find higher-probability trading opportunities. |
| Trading Lesson of 2015: Stick with the Plan Posted: 17 Dec 2015 02:00 PM PST If you find it increasingly difficult to make trade decisions, the solution can be straightforward—make a plan and stick to it. |
| Trading Lesson of 2015: Never Judge a System on a Long Streak – Winning or Losing Posted: 17 Dec 2015 02:00 PM PST It’s easy for a strong winning streak in a given strategy to cloud our judgment. Just remember—any strategy is only as good as its next trade. |
| Trading Lesson of 2015: Pips Don’t Matter, Money Does Posted: 17 Dec 2015 02:00 PM PST Making ‘Pips’ is our top goal, but don’t lose sight of the fact that actual profits matter far more. |
| Trading Lesson of 2015: Key Fundamental Themes Can and Do Change Posted: 17 Dec 2015 02:00 PM PST Once the reality of the market changes, you must change with it. Always remember that the strength of your conviction can severely impact your judgment. |
| Trading Lesson of 2015: Stop Staring at P&L Posted: 17 Dec 2015 02:00 PM PST Don’t let P&L numbers override your judgement in trading. |
| Trading Lesson of 2015: Staying Too Close to the Market Can Be a Bad Thing Posted: 17 Dec 2015 02:00 PM PST Sometimes the best trade to take is no trade at all. It’s important to take a break from markets and not spread yourself too thin. |

| Forex Trader Positioning Points to Further US Dollar Strength Posted: 17 Dec 2015 10:00 AM PST A substantial shift in retail forex positioning warns that the US Dollar may continue higher versus the Euro, British Pound, and Australian Dollar, but watch key risks on USD/CAD. |

| New Zealand Dollar Outlook Calls for Gains Posted: 17 Dec 2015 09:55 AM PST The majority of retail FX traders in our sample remain short the New Zealand Dollar versus the US Dollar, and a contrarian view of crowd sentiment leaves us in favor of buying into NZD/USD gains. |
| Australian Dollar May Continue Lower versus US Dollar Posted: 17 Dec 2015 09:55 AM PST Retail FX traders have bought into recent Australian Dollar weakness against the US Dollar, and the sudden shift in sentiment warns that the AUD/USD may continue lower through near-term trading. |
| Forex Traders Most Short the USD/CAD Since 2011 Posted: 17 Dec 2015 09:55 AM PST Retail forex traders have sold aggressively into US Dollar strength versus the Canadian Dollar, and indeed our data shows that traders are at their most net-short since at least 2011.

| British Pound at Risk for Further Declines Posted: 17 Dec 2015 09:55 AM PST A sharp decline in the British Pound has been met with similarly aggressive retail FX trader buying, and a contrarian view of crowd sentiment leaves us calling for GBP/USD declines. |
| Euro Forecast turns Bearish on Post-Fed Tumbles Posted: 17 Dec 2015 09:55 AM PST An impressive post-Federal Reserve reversal in the US Dollar has led to a similar turn in retail forex sentiment, and indeed we see risks that the EUR/USD may have set a short-term peak near the $1.1050. |
