Bank of England had made a number of public statements regarding its intention of staying within the EMU. However, within a few days of the speculative attack on the British Pound, Bank of England was brought to its knees as it was …

Do you know how to read Point and figure charts? Point and figure trading in many ways is similar to the support and resistance breakout trading on bar or candlestick charts. The main difference is the look and functionality of the price charts themselves!

Bar charts and candlestick charts show the high low open and close price for a given period. Point and figure charts represent price in a radically different manner from the more familiar bar and candlestick charts. Many forex charting platforms provide the option of point and figure charts.

They were the planners behind the 1 oz Gold Krugerrand, however the history of the Krugerrand goes further back- well beyond it’s first mintage in July of 1967.
