FXOpen Launches Local Bank Transfers in Argentina, Brazil, and Mexico

Dear Clients,

FXOpen is pleased to announce that we've added new methods of depositing funds. Clients from Argentina, Brazil, and Mexico can now carry out transactions via local bank transfers: Rapipago, Boleto Bancário and Oxxo.

Boleto-en.png

Rapipago is an Argentinian prepaid payment method used for online purchases. The system generates a voucher that can be paid offline at one of the 6000+ Rapipago payment locations. Rapipago supports payments between 1200+ companies and their consumers — around 19 million transactions per month. Rapipago’s card, check, and cash-based transactions ultimately collect money on behalf of merchants and utility firms.

OXXO is a chain of convenience stores that offers alternative cash payments in Mexico. Around 71 million Mexicans do not own a bank account, and OXXO allows merchants to tap into this substantial group of online buyers. With more than 16,000 stores across the country, consumers can pay for their online purchases in cash, and merchants have a zero chance of a chargeback.

Boleto Bancário is an official Brazilian payment method regulated by the Central Bank of Brazil. It is a push payment system which was launched in 1993 and today generates 3.7 billion transactions per year. Accounting for around 25% of all online payment transactions, it is a must for doing business in Brazil.

November 2020 Top 10 PAMM Accounts Overview
pamm-november-2020.jpg

Summing up the results of November, we choose to monitor the most attractive PAMM providers for investment. Investors are mostly interested in good returns and low drawdowns. In today’s PAMM review on the eve of the Christmas holidays we will look at profitable PAMM accounts for a moderate portfolio.

By November 2020, there were 172 investment accounts opened in FXOpen and $2’106’389.00 worth of capital invested.

DevidGuetta

This PAMM provider has been demonstrating successful trading for almost the whole of 2020. At the beginning of the fall, the provider behaved conservatively, but in November the monthly profit was +7.31%. It is worth noting that they traded very successfully without significant drawdowns. In November, they traded mainly in cryptocurrencies: LTC/USD, BTC/USD, XRP/USD. The maximum drawdown in November did not exceed 2.51%. It is possible to join the provider with 100 USD or more.

MinRisk

This provider has been trading fairly confidently on FXOpen since July 2016. Since April 2020 they have been trading in profit with minor losses. In November, the profit was 4.56%, in December, the positive trend persists. Deposit load in November did not exceed 7%. The manager chart shows some spikes, indicating the use of averaging on the exit from the drawdown. MinRisk account style can be considered as quite aggressive, but profitable at the same time.

SuperSpeculativ

The provider has been trading at FXOpen for almost a year since December 2019. The year 2020 has turned out quite well for them. Since July, they have been selling at significant drawdowns, bringing in conservative returns every month. As a result, half-year earnings were almost 40%. In November, the income was 6.74%. It should be noted that the manager traded with minimal deposit load, which did not exceed 1.5% in November. It is possible to join the trader with only 100 USD.

BTC ENCOUNTERS RESISTANCE WHILE XRP FINDS SUPPORT

BTC/USD
The price of Bitcoin has been increasing from last Friday when it was sitting at $17,570 at its lowest point and came up by around 11.4% measured to its highest point today at $19,570. Now the price is being traded at $19,316 as it fell from today’s high and is now making a recovery.

btcusd-1h-2.png

On the hourly chart, you can see that this is a struggle for the price to keep up its bullish momentum above the lower horizontal level at $19,191 which represents the daily candle close from the 2017 all-time high.  Since the start of the month, we have seen the price in a decline, forming a descending channel from the 1st of December. Last Friday the price found support on the 0.618 Fib level and started increasing again, breaking out from this descending formation and coming above the significant lower horizontal level.

Now as the price is getting close to the vicinity of the high made on December 1st it has started moving sideways which indicates that resistance has been found. If this is the uptrend continuation after the descending channel was a higher degree retracement, the price is now headed towards is higher high, effectively making a new all-time high. But first, it needs to break this resistance zone in between the two horizontal resistance levels, so we are yet to see if the price manages to do so.

If the price gets rejected once more at this range we could see a lower low compared to the one made last Friday which would mean that the corrective move from the 26th of November hasn’t developed fully, but if it manages to surpass the $19,677 level it would indicate that is headed toward the $21,000 mark.

EUR/USD APPROACHING KEY RESISTANCE, USD/CHF REMAINS AT RISK

EUR/USD is trading in a positive zone above 1.2100, but it is facing hurdles near 1.2170. USD/CHF is struggling to hold the 0.8850 support and it could decline heavily.

Important Takeaways for EUR/USD and USD/CHF

  • The Euro started a fresh increase above the 1.2050 and 1.2100 resistance levels against the US Dollar.
  • There is a connecting bullish trend line forming with support near 1.2140 on the hourly chart of EUR/USD.
  • USD/CHF remains in a bearish zone below the 0.8950 and 0.8920 resistance levels.
  • There are two major bearish trend lines forming with resistance near 0.0.8870 on the hourly chart.

EUR/USD Technical Analysis

In the past few days, the Euro remained in a positive zone above the 1.2050 support zone against the US Dollar. The EUR/USD pair gained pace above the 1.2100 resistance to move into a positive zone.

The upward move was such that the pair broke the 1.2120 resistance and settled above the 50 hourly simple moving average. However, the pair seems to be facing a strong resistance near the 1.2165 and 1.2170 levels.

eurusd-chart-2.png

The recent high was formed near 1.2168 on FXOpen before there was a downside correction. There was a break below the 1.2155 level, and the pair traded below the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the 1.2121 low to 1.2168 high.

The decline found support near the 1.2145 and the 50 hourly simple moving average. The 50% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the 1.2121 low to 1.2168 high is also acting as a support.

13 Mistakes Almost Every Trader Makes
trading-mistakes.jpg

Human beings make mistakes, but not every mistake costs money. In the world of Forex, every mistake has a price tag on it. To help you learn more from others’ failures rather than your own, we’ve picked out 13 of the most common mistakes of traders according to forums. Make a good use of this list!

  1. The lack of a systematic approach - No matter how godlike your trading style is, you won’t always do well without a cheat sheet. There should always be a plan, the other thing is that your plan can and should be adjusted under changing conditions.
  2. Lack of algorithm - Without the algorithm, the risk of losing the deposit increases manifold. A clear algorithm implies a step-by-step sequence of your actions depending on the trading situation.
  3. Not placing stop-loss orders - With this approach, the trader is sure to be knocked out of the market sooner or later. The more profit you make in the beginning, the harder the blow will be when you lose it all. A good trader never takes a risk and puts a stop loss where it’s needed.

What to Consider in 2021 Global Financial Markets?
global-financial-markets.jpg

While the year is not over yet, everyone looks at what lies ahead. But how to better prepare for the next year’s trading opportunities without looking back at the events that marked 2020?

So many things happened that it is impossible to discuss them all in this article. Instead, let’s have a look at what influenced financial markets in 2020 and can also have a say in what the markets will do in 2021.
COVID-19 Pandemic

Unfortunately, 2020 will be a year remembered for the coronavirus pandemic and everything that it brought with it. Caught completely by surprise, the world reacted with a lag. Lives were lost, and industries were disrupted. Small businesses were affected the most, with many closing their doors indefinitely.

Governments and central banks reacted the only way they knew – by printing money and offering loans to incredibly low interest rates. Brave wannabe entrepreneurs took a chance in the hope that 2021 and beyond will be better.

Hope does exist. Vaccines are rolled out all over the world. Studies show that the efficacy of the many vaccines that already exist is enough to stop the pandemic in the second half of 2021.

2020 Financial Events to Impact 2021

For financial markets, 2020 brought some incredible developments. First, it brought the fastest dive from a bull to a bear market in history. By definition, when the stock market corrects more than 20% from the highs, it reaches a bear market – in March 2020, the drop came so fast as never before.

Second, the price of oil settled into negative territory. For the first time in history, investors learned that the price of a commodity could settle for negative values. Basically, producers paid for someone to come and take the oil off their hands as no storage facilities existed anymore.

Third, the global negative-yielding debt surged close to $20 trillion. As the chart above shows, the trend stalled somehow during 2015 and 2017 but closed the year at record highs. Debt with negative yields show investors willing to lend money to an entity (e.g., sovereign, corporation) that pays them back less than the original amount invested.

Fourth, Brexit came to an end a few days ago. The United Kingdom and the European Union reached a trade deal that was responsible for much of the price action swings in the GBP pairs for the entire year. Starting with January 1st, 2021, trade between the two takes a new dimension. It is hard to envision now the benefit of Brexit for both the United Kingdom and the European Union. Perhaps it will become obvious somewhere in the future, perhaps not – but at this point, Europe looks weak.

Finally, the United States prepares for a new administration at the White House. It brings new air after four years of controversial policies run by Trump’s administration. It also brings a new head of the Treasury, none other than the former chairwoman – Janet Yellen.

If and when the pandemic ends, the world’s economies have a long way to full recovery. The events mentioned above left deep wounds that cannot heal easily.
