How to get MT4 broker rebates
An MT4 Broker makes money on spreads and commissions and when your turnover is very large, your broker makes a lot of money from your trading. Is there a way to get a discount or cashback on all this money your broker is making from your trading? Yes there is! Take a look at the following calculation example:
Assume that you open an account with FXCM which a very reputable MT4 Broker, which offers 0.6 pip discount per roundtrip lot traded. One pip equals about $10 on average if you trade EURUSD, EURCHF and EURGBP. Lets say that you deposit $2000 on the account. Our estimate is that you will turn over about 10-15 Lots per $1000 per month on your account when using FAPTurbo and Megadroid. Assume that your turnover is 24 lots per month on your $2000 account.
Your monthly cash rebate during the first month would then be: 0.6 x 10 x 24 = USD 144
Your annual ROI would then be (144x12/2000) about 86% per year.

Another round of bailouts
The Telegraph is reporting that a second wave of bailouts is coming down the pike:
"Dominique Strauss-Kahn's warning comes amid growing concern that at some point in the next year a major economy could have to seek support from the Fund. Mr Strauss-Kahn, who was yesterday attending the Group of Seven leading finance ministers' meeting in Rome, said: "I expect a second wave of countries to come knocking."
Fear or Rational Uncertainty?
Markets are motivated by fear and greed.
Who would dare to question this axiom of received wisdom? When markets go up, they are motivated by greed. When markets go down, they are motivated by fear. Presidential rhetoric established this truth in our cultural lexicon three quarters of a century ago:
The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.
Fear and greed are certainly potent factors in the investor's psychology. It's easy enough to spot the frenzied euphoria of greed in people who suddenly make a decision to buy when a stock is peaking. It's just as easy to spot the hysterical flight mentality of fear in people who sell at the bottom. These irrational behaviors would be amusing if they weren't so destructive.
View from Across the Pond
One of my favorite newspapers is the British rag - Financial Times. It tends to be unbiased and it will paint an interesting picture of what is happening around the world.
Here are some tidbits I picked up from a recent issue...
Italian industry has slashed its power consumption by 30% in the past 2 months as Italy has slipped into the grips of recession. Italy has issued a modest stimulus package but it hamstrung by its already large debt load. Over the next 2 years, 900,000 jobs could disappear in Italy.
Japan’s Central Bank has its key lending rate at 0.3% and really can’t lower it much more. To ensure banks remain solvent, the Central Bank will accept as collateral bonds rated BBB. Plans are to accept up to $32 billion of these bonds. Previous Bank policy was to accept only bonds rated A and better (how's that for a dramatic change of policy ?)
Political Crisis in Canada
I am so mad I think my eyeballs are going to squirt blood and my hair catch on fire....
Canada, like so many other nations, is not immune to the global crisis unfolding right now. While other Governments are stepping up to the plate and taking action, what is Canada doing? Zero. Nadda. Nicht. Squat. Canada as of a few hours ago finds itself in a state of Constitutional crisis that is reminiscent of places like Bolivia and Mongolia and Russia.
Stephen Harper, the Canadian Prime Minister, on the surface appears to be a likeable sort. Well mannered, well dressed, educated....I think you get the image. But beneath it all lurks a neo-conservative student who is determined to steer Canada towards a right wing goal that really has not yet been made clear to Canadians. Canadians have been unsure of this man for some time now and that is why he has been unable to win a clear majority in an election.
The Cobalt Mining Race of the Century
The Cobalt Mining Race of the Century:
Supply Destruction vs. Demand Destruction
And they’re off! It’s a steep downhill race, and it looks like Demand Destruction has the early lead. Yes, yes, consumption is down in the US! What speed it has! He could be slowing as Europe looks strong…nope! Wrong on that count, Germany is in recession now…look at Demand Destruction go!
Supply is slow out of the gate today folks, but he always starts that way. 10 years ago, after Bre-X, Demand Destruction blew him away – but he did narrow the gap at the end.
Supply’s trainers, Lower Metal Prices and Rising Inventories, are yelling at him from the sidelines.
There’s a record crowd of Investors watching the race on TV screens around the world. But they don’t look happy. There was clearly some big betting on Supply Destruction.
Martin Murenbeeld Speaks Out
If you are looking for some good, serious, hard-hitting advice I invite you to visit www.murenbeeld.com to read the most recent writings of Dr. Martin Murenbeeld.
I listened to a brief interview with him today and what he had to say was quite intriguing.
He was talking about the current situation and contrasting it to what we went through in the 1980's. He noted that in the late 1970's what we experienced was a demand driven round of inflation. Fed Chairman Paul Volcker was left with little choice but to ramp up interest rates to squelch this demand. He did it and successfully cooled off the economy and within 5 or so years, the economy was back in fighting form.
Bizarre Developments in Canadian Politics
Whoa !!! what is happening here ??
6 weeks ago Canadians went to the polls and elected yet another minority Government. Nothing wrong with that I say....history shows that minority Governments can be quite functional indeed.
But this election has left the Opposition Liberal Party scrambling in that its leader Stephan Dione has now agreed to step down in light of his poor performace in the recent election.
Leading Indicators ( part 2)
Another good leading indicator is Coal. In January, President Obama is going to unveil a stimulus program. I have already written a previous blog on this subject where I voiced my opinion that he best not engage in a program of building schools and fixing potholes in roads. What is needed is projects to grapple with the gaping trade deficit.
One way to meet this trade deficit head on is to take steps to make America more energy self sufficient. With America sitting on a massive supply of Coal, one brilliant strategy for Mr. Obama would be to spend money building new coal fired generating plants and money on plants that can use existing technology ( originally developed in the 1920's !!) to convert coal into synthetic fuel.
One stock to keep a close eye on is KOL which is the Van Eck Global Market Vectors Coal ETF.
Right now RSI and DMI technical indicators are NOT giving a buy signal. I suspect it will take a move over the 50 day moving average to deliver this signal.
