Experts' Suggestions for Holiday Time
We've asked some of our contributors how they recommend to trade in August if you're not away on vacation... and what to do if you're going to leave for holidays and how to trade upon your return.
They also give us their book recommendation for the summer as well as their forecast for the rest of the year.

Exclusive Currencies Forecast
Ed Ponsi's Majors Currencies Forecast for Q3 and Q4 2010
EUR/USD: I expect the pair to trade in a range between 1.20 and 1.35 for the next six months, finishing the year near 1.27.
GBP/USD: Look for this pair to grind its way higher to finish the year above 1.6000.
USD/CHF: Look for a rate hike from the central bank in the fall, as the SNB's concern shifts from deflation to inflation. My year−end target for USDCHF is 1.0000.
USD/JPY: Political uncertainty will continue to weigh heavily, making life interesting for Yen traders. My year−end target for USDJPY is 90.00.
The week ahead
UniCredit Group − It is primarily the weak labor market that is causing Americans to worry and fueling the fear of a double−dip recession. 8½ million people lost their job during the "Great Recession". And a growing population means a further 2½ million entered the labor market.
The appetite for risk waned across the financial markets by CME Group
The appetite for risk waned across the financial markets, in line with expectations. Most of the European and commodity currencies turned down in Europe, while the yen remained in demand. Only the Swiss franc and the Canadian dollar are opening a tad higher in the US.
METATRADER
Average Directional Movement Index (ADX)
FXstreet.com − To use ADX to forecast we have a first basic principle: the higher the indicator value, the stronger the trend. Yet at the same time extreme readings will anticipate high probabilities of a trend change, and on the other hand, the lower the indicator value, the more weak is the actual trend. Or we are seeing a sideways market, so we must discard any signals coming from it.
Detrended Price Oscillator: Up & Down
FXstreet.com − Though it's a very simple indicator it can help to identify market tops and bottoms. Its main disadvantage is in the way it calculates the difference, as probably better results could be obtained by measuring, for example, percentage difference. Also it's difficult to determine extreme levels in this indicator, so it's advisable to study its past behaviour in order to find reference levels.
