Contrary opinion is a trading strategy that was published and made popular in the early 1980's for the commodity futures market. This is a simple trading strategy to understand, and while the logic behind this strategy can be argued back and forth because it is a radical idea, even almost 25 years since the original theory was published it can still hold true in many of our financial markets and can yield great rewards to those traders willing to take the risk of basing trades on this theory.The premise of contrary opinion trading is that when all of the other traders in the market expect the value to go up, it will go down, and when all of the other traders expect the value to go down, it will go up. The reason this can work is because everybody who expects the market to go up has already bought the currency pair, and so there is no more buying power to maintain the trend. Now if you have ever read anything about trading with a momentum indicator then the logic behind this type of trading strategy may sound familiar, because it is likely that you were told to sell when the market is overbought and buy when the market is oversold.On the price chart of the currency pair you are...more

Credit reference agencies are companies that collect financial data from many different sources, including, but not limited to any business who are partners or members. This information is then provided to subscribers to the credit reference agencies in order to ensure the quality of the subscribers' loaning. The bill paying and money borrowing habits of consumers are the main focus of the information gathered and shared by the credit reference agencies. The purpose is to provide ample data to allow the lenders to determine the ability to repay loans and general credit worthiness of a consumer before money is lent or lines of credit opened. Interest rates are often determined based on this information, and loans may also sometimes be outright refused based upon the credit score of an individual. Higher risk individuals or those with bankruptcies and tax liens, are likely to pay higher interest rates than those without such marks on their credit reports. Any negative information that is reported to credit reference agencies will lower the overall credit score of a consumer.Businesses who subscribe to one or more credit reference agencies gain a tool that is unmatched in providing...more
