3 main reasons why refinancing home mortgage works
1. It lowers your interest rates. If the current interest rate in the market is lower than the interest rate when you got your home mortgage, then refinancing your home mortgage will allow you to replace your current home mortgage’s interest rate with the current interest rate in the market. As we all know, you could really save you a lot of money just by lowering your interest rate even if it’s just by a small percent. Just a reminder, when refinancing a mortgage, just make sure to check the current interest rates first in the market.
On the other hand, you can also save yourself from changing interest rates if you’re currently under an adjustable rate mortgage loan (i.e. your mortgage interest rate changes based on market changes). It allows you to break free from that and allows you to have a fixed interest rate. It is a fact that changes in interest rates have big financial implications for any loaner; hence, it is better that you protect yourself from constantly changing and inflating interest rates by getting a fixed one once you refinance your home mortgage.
2. It lowers your monthly loan mortgage payment. If you’ve had your home mortgage loan for a long time already, when you refinance your home mortgage it allows you to change your monthly loan payment to smaller amounts. In this way, you can save a whole lot of money every month and even have more cash at hand to pay for your other bills like your credit card bills and in effect improve your credit rating as well.
3. It allows you to consolidate your credit card loans and other loans. It is a fact that home mortgage loans have lower interest rates than credit card interest rates and other debts. By refinancing your home mortgage, you can consolidate your credit card and other loans with a low interest rate which you normally get when refinancing a loan.
Refinancing a home mortgage
More often that not, being an adult means having financial responsibilities sitting on your shoulders. Aside from the usual bills that we have to pay every month (e.g. electrical bills, water bills, telephone bills, tuition fees, etc.), we have loan payments to make too. Nowadays, it is so inevitable not to make a loan; we can’t help it if sometimes we run short for cash. Usual loans come in the form of credit card loans and home mortgages. Finding a loan is a lot easier to do nowadays; however, paying that loan is the difficult part.
Being in a financial slump is quite terrifying. It’s hard to sleep at night if you know that you haven’t met your loan payment schedules on time. The more that you get delayed, your debts just keep on piling up mainly because of the interest rates that come along with it. If you are currently paying mortgage for your home, then you’re in luck. Refinancing home mortgage can be a solution to your frightening financial situation. Refinancing means having your existing home mortgage loan terms or obligations changed by newer debt terms or obligations that are more favorable for you.

Displaying Variable Spread on Chart
Enough with the conversion of the old MT4 indicators to MT5. I’ve decided to ad something new today. One of my site’s visitors asked me to make some working MT5 indicator that would display the spread on the chart (which is really useful for variable spreads). I’ve created this indicator both for MetaTrader 4 and 5 platforms. You can use it to be always able to see the real actual spread on the currency pair you are trading. You can modify almost all display parameters and it will work with the additional digit quotes too. Maybe I shouldn’t be making an indicator out of it, and it would work fine as a script, but I believe that in this case the indicator allows more flexibility and probably some future upgrades:
Triple Rollover on Wednesday
When the Forex brokers hold your position without making a physical delivery of currency (cash) to you, they should be paying an interest rate on your position. This interest rate is applied at the end of each day (17:00 EST) on all your open positions and is called rollover. This rollover interest rate is based on the difference between the central bank’s reference rate of the bought and sold currencies. For long AUD/JPY positions the rollover is mostly positive and is rather significant. The rollover rate for Saturday and Sunday is applied on Wednesday — so this weekday gets a triple rollover. The new Forex trading strategy that I’ve added to the site today is based on the triple rollovers, applied on Wednesday, and the reaction of AUD/JPY currency pairto this event. Contrary to the intuitive assumption, 1–2 hors before the triple rollover is applied on Wednesday, AUD/JPY goes down — as if traders were selling it, afraid to gain extra money for rollover. The strategy is statistically proven and I recommend you looking at it if you like trading based on the fundamental indicators.

Trend Strength Indicator Laguerre in MT5
I’ve converted the Laguerre trend’s strength indicator from MQL4 to MQL5 today so that it can now be used in MetaTrader 5 platform. Not much interesting in the process of the conversion and the MT5 platform doesn’t add anything useful or new in functionality to this indicator, but I guess some traders waited for MT5 version of Laguerre. I should make one important notice to the MQL5 coders: always remember that the timeseries scale of the indicator buffers is inverted and it’s crucial to convert indexes to start from the number of the first bar in history, used for indicator calculations.
You can get the code of MT5 version or read more info about the indicator.

EUR/CHF Double Bottom Horizontal Channel
The weekly chart of EUR/CHF currency pair is showing a rather rare pattern — a horizontal channel formed by the support and resistance levels. The support level is a double bottom with two lines close to one another. The bearish breakout through such support level can be a very strong signal. EUR/CHF is known to be a rather stable pair as both currencies are European but the Swiss franc (CHF) tends to gain during elevated risk-aversion, while the euro — on higher appetites for risk.
