We encourage you to use comments to engage with users, share your perspective and ask questions of authors and each other. However, in order to maintain the high level of discourse we’ve all come to value and expect, please keep the following criteria in mind: 

• Enrich the conversation
• Stay focused and on track. Only post material that’s relevant to the topic being discussed.
• Be respectful. Even negative opinions can be framed positively and diplomatically.
•  Use standard writing style. Include punctuation and upper and lower cases.
• NOTE: Spam and/or promotional messages and links within a comment will be removed

Technicals are your best bet. The reason why things are difficult from a fundamental point of view is because forex moves are primarily (geo)politically driven since Brexit, election of Trump, ANC infighting in SA, North Korea and NO ONE can predict what politicians will do next. My view: Sign up for a good course on technicals, or start to train yourself by reading books on the matter and look at videos online on technical signals. That's how I trained myself over a 24 month period. There is no quick solution. Techs is however the only reliable route, forget about economic fundamentals, the world has been turned upside down by political clowns and its going to get worse.

The technical tools I use are mainly Stoch RSI, Exponential MA (9), MA (20), MA (50) and Bollinger Bands (20, 2.5). Also look out for major historical support and resistance levels.

US tax plan if approved will have a significant positive impact on USD. Trump to speak on Wed. Also look out for Draghi/Yellen speeches. Techs (daily view)- EMA 20 day just crossed 50 day MACD- positive ~500 Dir MVmt (14) + 25 Bollinger- just crossed neutral line RSI ~55 Looking good for upward movement on both tech + fundamentals.
