Today we are going down under to analyze the Australian dollar.
Many traders look at the Australian dollar (AUD) and the Canadian dollar (CAD) as commodity plays. Both countries are rich in natural resources and that seems to be a key element to the recent moves in both of these currencies.
Today we are going to look at the technical aspect of the Australian dollar. This market not only charts very well, but it responds very well to technical signals. In this short video, I will explain in detail my reasoning for wanting to be in this market. I will give you some specific Aussie dollar objectives and also some places to protect capital.
As always, the videos are free to watch and there's no need to register. I would love to get your feedback about this video and your own predictions about this market on our blog.
All the best,

Perry J. Kaufman is a market strategist known for his knowledge and experience in computer-based trading systems applied to world futures and financial markets. His publication, The New Commodity Trading Systems and Methods (John Wiley & Sons, 1987), has become the technician’s required reference. In 1984, he published the comprehensive Handbook of Futures Markets (Wiley). An earlier book of research papers, Technical Analysis in Commodities (Wiley, 1980), has been translated into Japanese. Perry founded the Journal of Futures Markets (Columbia University and John Wiley & Sons), a vehicle for gathering academic research on market analysis. He is series editor of Wiley’s Trader’s Advantage, and his latest book, Smarter Trading, was released by McGraw-Hill in 1995. Perry specializes in the application of technical and fundamental (statistical) analysis to the development of trading and risk management programs for both commercial and private investors. Much of this work is based on price theories and techniques he has researched and developed since 1971. He combines the ability to integrate computer technology and strategic allocation with traditional investment approaches in order to achieve realistic objectives. Perry is particularly interested in closing the gap between theoretical and actual results, concentrating on the world’s stock index, foreign exchange, interest rates, and energy markets. Perry is director of research for Kaufman, Diamond, and Yeong, a consulting firm serving the financial industry in the United States and Singapore. In addition to providing risk management, education, and training, the firm publishes Kaufman on Market Analysis, a periodic report on the applications and development of trading strategies. In Singapore, the company provides market-related educational services and is developing trading strategies using new technologies (such as neural nets and artificial intelligence) under a grant from the Singapore government.

He is also the author of two highly-acclaimed guides to the foreign exchange markets: "International Monetary Report" and "Right on the Money, the Definitive Guide to Forecasting Foreign Exchange Rates".
