Hi everyone

At the beginning of October 2012, a new member of Forexstreet.net named Brian Twomey started blogging here at Forexstreet.net. I thought: "look another one trying to sell his stuff.... He won't last...". Certainly Brian had written a book and he was referring to his book at the end of each blog post he was making. Fair enough.

But then Brian decided to run an amazing exercise that turned things upside down: He decided to go for 20 trade recommendations to prove (using his own words):

1. Exchange rate targets are predictable.

2. I can hit targets based on mathematical calculations employing 8 different moving averages.

3. I can hit 20 of 20 trade targets and profit without loss.

On Brian's words: "So far, 15 posted targets hit exactly with two additional trades for 1156? pips thereabouts. Granted, a few entries weren't perfect yet targets hit. Constructive criticism is accepted. The operable word is constructive.

Never in my imagination did I suspect these trades would become the subject of intense debate and scrutiny. I proffer with hope that new traders would become better in their chosen craft and all would garner a greater understanding of currency pairs and price movements. I reiterate, trades offered are educational therefore please manage own risk. Targets will hit, that's written in mathematical stone but market events may cause price deviations so must wait until prices continue their intended price path to target."

Now Brian is one of the most respected members of our community, not just for the accuracy of his calls, but for the interaction he has been having with all of us. I am not sure what the future will bring us all, but I certainly must thank Brian for his great contribution to our community.

Many of us are now better traders thanks to you.

Thanks Brian!

Great tribute Francesc,well deserved. This was remarkable feat, least of all psychologically on Brian who though it all made it to his 20 trades, can't be over estimated what we have witnessed in my opinion well done Brian, I don't think were be seeing anything like this again on anywhere in the near or far future, unless you feel like doing it again Brian lol,no I wouldn't either. Of all the things I've seen over the years this was truly outstanding loved it Brian, atvb, Chris

Editor's Picks

EUR/USD keeps the rangebound trade near 1.1850

EUR/USD is still under pressure, drifting back towards the 1.1850 area as Monday’s session draws to a close. The modest decline in spot comes as the US Dollar picks up a bit of support, while thin liquidity and muted volatility, thanks to the US market holiday, are exaggerating price swings and keeping trading conditions choppy.
 

GBP/USD flirts with daily lows near 1.3630

GBP/USD has quickly given back Friday’s solid gains, turning lower at the start of the week and drifting back towards the 1.3630 area. The focus now shifts squarely to Tuesday’s UK labour market report, which is likely to keep the quid firmly in the spotlight and could set the tone for Cable’s next move.

Gold battle around $5,000 continues

Gold is giving back part of Friday’s sharp rebound, deflating below the key $5,000 mark per troy ounce as the new week gets underway. Modest gains in the US Dollar are keeping the metal in check, while thin trading conditions, due to the Presidents Day holiday in the US, are adding to the choppy and hesitant tone across markets.

AI Crypto Update: Bittensor eyes breakout as AI tokens falter 

The artificial intelligence (AI) cryptocurrency segment is witnessing heightened volatility, with top tokens such as Near Protocol (NEAR) struggling to gain traction amid the persistent decline in January and February.

The week ahead: Key inflation readings and why the AI trade could be overdone

It is likely to be a quiet start to the week, with US markets closed on Monday for Presidents Day. European markets are higher across the board and gold is clinging to the $5,000 level after the tamer than expected CPI report in the US reduced haven flows to precious metals.

XRP steadies in narrow range as fund inflows, futures interest rise

Ripple is trading in a narrow range between $1.45 (immediate support) and $1.50 (resistance) at the time of writing on Monday. The remittance token extended its recovery last week, peaking at $1.67 on Sunday from the weekly open at $1.43.
