Ottawa, Ontario, Canada (AHN) – In over three decades, sources of fresh water in southern Canada went down at an average of 3.4 cubic kilometers (2.11 cubic miles) a year. The 8.5 percent loss in water yield is equivalent to the water in 1.4 million Olympic-size swimming pools, according to Statistics Canada.

About 98 percent of Canada’s population live in the country’s southern regions. They draw their water needs from Canada’s yearly renewable freshwater supply estimated at about 3,470 cubic kilometers (2,156 cubic miles), or the approximate volume of Lake Huron. The estimate combined precipitation and melted ice over and under the ground, which later reach Canada’s rivers and lakes.

The University of Saskatchewan’s Center for Hydrology laid the decline to climate change. According to center director John Pomeroy, evaporation increases because of shorter winters. He added that since the 1970s, when temperature rise was initially observed, the Great Lakes had more ice-free periods and longer evaporation periods.

The decline in renewable fresh water sources was worsened by uneven distribution of the water resources. The prairies – which count Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba – get only 12 percent of new water from precipitation while it registered a population increase of 2.9 million from 1971 to 2006.

Forex Charts – How and Why They Work

December 2, 2009 · Posted in Currencies · Comments Off 

Many forex traders think that you can never win with forex charts, because you need to know the supply and demand fundamentals. On the other hand, there are those forex chartists who believe the charts reflect human nature which is constant and prices can be predicted. Who is right?

The answer is forex charts work – but we must get rid of one misconception about them before we start and that’s there are a predictive tool – They are not!

Forex prices do not move to a scientific theory, because if they did, we would all know the price in advance and there would be no market!

Common sense really – but don’t think you can’t make money with forex charts and technical analysis you can, just understand this equation:

Supply and demand (fundamentals) + Investor psychology = Price

The above equation brings me on to my next point and it’s obvious from the above:

The fundamentals are un-important its how they are perceived that determines the course of events.

All forex technical analysis does is:

Make the assumption that the fundamentals are instantly discounted in the price and it’s investors who will decide which way prices will go.

It is the forex traders (all of them combined) who make the price and they all see the fundamentals and supply and demand facts – but they all draw different conclusions from what they see. This is why investor psychology is vital to where prices may go.

Humans determine the price of anything in a free market and its their perception of facts that is so important.

Investor Psychology

Forex charts allow you to see the fundamental picture and the how investors react to it, all in one method and that’s a huge advantage.

So forex technical analysis takes into account the supply and demand facts and how investors perceive them – it’s a short cut form of fundamental analysis and it lets you see graphically on a forex chart how investors have reacted.

Now we said that forex chart were not scientific – but you can trade the odds with them.

This is because human psychology is reflected in the charts and human nature never changes – so you will have patterns repeat and repeat overtime as does human nature, as it never changes.

Trade the Odds

With forex charts your aim is to look for these high odds chart patterns and trade them for profit.

You wont win every trade but if you win more than you lose and you run your profits and cut your losses, you can enjoy currency trading success.

Charting is an art not a science but an art.

If you get the right forex education and do your homework, you will have found a great way to achieve long term forex trading success.

When you have a forex trading strategy based upon forex charts, you are the equivalent of a captain of a ship at sea.

Your charts can help you earn a living in a hostile (but lucrative) environment, if you learn to use your charts correctly, or if you don’t, you will hit the rocks and drown. The choice is yours.

A Simple Powerful Route to Forex Profits

Forex charts are if learned correctly, are a simple time efficient way, of earning huge profits from the effort you put in – so try and base your forex trading system on them and you could soon be earning big consistent FX profits.
