    30 August 2026 , Abe Cofnas

    The best forex pairs to trade during the Asian session are the ones whose home markets are actually open: USD/JPY, AUD/USD and NZD/USD first, then the yen crosses AUD/JPY, EUR/JPY and GBP/JPY, with USD/CNH for traders who want direct exposure to Chinese flow.

  • The Ultimate Guide to the TTM Squeeze Indicator: Setup, Rules, and Strategy

    29 August 2026 , Abe Cofnas

    The TTM Squeeze indicator identifies periods of unusually low volatility that often come before large directional moves.

  • The Quarterly Theory: Time Cycles, the AMD-X Phases, True Opens, and How to Trade Them

    The Quarterly Theory is a time-based trading framework that divides every cycle into four quarters and expects each cycle to run through the same four phases: accumulation, manipulation, distribution, then continuation or reversal.

    24 August 2026 , Walter Writes

    The impossible trinity, also called the monetary trilemma, is the principle that a country can have only two of three things at the same time: a fixed exchange rate, free movement of capital, and an independent monetary policy. Choosing any two forces it to give up the third. No amount of reserves, skill or political […]

  • Forex Settlement: Value Dates, T+2, CLS, and Why Retail Traders Roll Over Instead of Settling

    23 August 2026 , Abe Cofnas

    Forex settlement is the process that actually completes a trade: the exchange of the two currencies between buyer and seller. It does not happen when you click trade.
