Futurestechs celebrates 15 years!
On March 13th 2000 I set up Futurestechs, having just spent the previous 10 years as a broker on the LIFFE Floor. At the time many LIFFE Floor operatives were embarking on a whole new way of doing things, trading in front of screens, clicking a mouse instead of shouting at people! …
When I first set up FuturesTechs in 2000 one of the first things I did was move to Australia. We only ended up there for 18 months but in that time I met a chap who has remained a friend since, and who, like me, also writes a bit of Analysis on the markets. I am always interested to read …

Chart action in Bond Futures has been pretty well behaved of late and things could be about to get a whole heap more interesting. Let’s take a look at what’s been, and what could be around the corner:
Bund Futures

We have been trying to get long of Cable for the last few days. On Friday our money management rules saw us scratch our first “go”, so no harm done there. Yesterday’s move down to 1.5143 stopped us out on our second attempt. Today we have once again suggested a long, which is small offside as we write.
Here is the chart …
We write Analysis on a daily basis for over 30 different markets each day. Sometimes a chart comes along that smacks us in the face and says “Buy” or “Sell”. This doesn’t mean there’s a trade to do, as the risk/reward has to be right, as well as the market conditions.

Trade Idea: Buy USDCHF @ 0.9400
Stop: 0.9370
Target 1: 0.9495
Target 2: 0.9595
Background:
Yesterday we suggested that 0.9400 would be a good place to get long USDCHF, a trade that served us well last week. This trade didn’t get done yesterday but we have got back here this morning so it’s time to get long!
0.9385 was resistance …

A Gravestone Doji is a …
Last Friday we noticed this on the EURJPY Chart:
This Cross had sold off back to trend support, and was sitting right on this line. We got long, sending out to our clients the following:
BUY – 123.25
Stop – 122.75
Target 1 – 124.70
Target 2 – 126.65.
We felt at the time that 50 pips was worth risking …
