What’s a Momo?



The Five Minute Momo Trade looks for a momentum or “momo” burst on very short-term (five-minute) charts.
First, traders impose two indicators on their historical data, the first of
which is the 20-period exponential moving average (EMA). The EMA is chosen over
the simple moving average because it places higher weight on recent movements,
which is needed for fast momentum trades.

The moving average is used to help determine the trend. The second indicator to use is the moving average

This interesting strategy waits for a reversal trade; however, it only takes advantage of the reversal trade when momentum supports the reversal move enough to create a larger extension burst. When this happens,
the position is split in two separate segments; the first segment helps us lock in gains and ensures that we never turn a winner into a loser. The second segment lets us attempt to catch what could become a very large move with no risks simply because the stop has already been moved to the breakeven point.

How can I execute The Five-Minute Forex

There are some traders who are extremely patient and love to wait for the perfect
setup while other traders are extremely impatient and need to see a move happen
quickly or they’ll abandon their positions.


These impatient traders make perfect momentum traders because they wait for the market to have enough strength to push a currency in the desired direction. Then they piggyback onthe momentum in the hopes of a profitable extension move.

With these types of trades However, once the move shows signs of losing strength, an impatient
momentum trader will also be the first to jump ship.

Therefore, a true momentum strategy needs to have solid exit rules to protect profits while still being able to ride as much of the extension move as possible.

The New Californian Olive Trend



A new trend is changing the olive industry in the north state, now it’s all about the oil olives and the expensive liquid gold they produce.

In the olive city, there’s a new boom surrounding the fruit, Vice President of Crane Mills Brian Crane says, “The olive oil industry is what wine was decades ago.”

Several olive growers, including Crane Mills in Corning, are starting up new oil olive crops and building processing plants to produce olive oil.

Crane says, “With any new venture people are hopping on board just like we did, but there’s a potential to be over plantings.”

Crane just planted 200 acres of the oil olives, or Spanish Arbequinas.

Processor owner Ray Rogers of Corning Olive Oil Company believes the value of the olive oil he produces will decline as more businesses jump into the oil market
