Forex Trading Strategies – a Strategy You Can Learn Easily and Apply in 30 Minutes a Day

Friday, January 22nd, 2010

To put together your own Forex trading strategy based upon the enclosed information only takes a week or so and you can then be targeting triple digit gains in around 30 minutes a day. Let’s take a look at it…

The first point to keep in mind is that any strategy you use should be simple and this one is. Why should it be simple?

Why Complex Theories will Lose you Money

The big thing in Forex trading at the moment is using complex mathematical formulas to predict. We apply mathematics in everyday life and it works but it won’t work in Forex, because Forex markets don’t move to mathematics.

You can make complex systems but they will simply get wiped out, because Forex markets are an odds based market and for odds based market, simple systems are best as there more robust with fewer elements to break.

There are those that still believe they can predict and that mathematical formulas exist that work but if there was such a system, we would all know what would happen next and there would be no market.

Simple Systems Work Best

The Forex strategy we are going to look at is simple and is based upon buying breaks to new chart highs and lows and its obvious why this works and that is markets trend. Any big trend starts and continues from breakouts and you can see this on any Forex Chart.

Trading the Reality

Trading a breakout has another advantage, it trades the reality of price change and doesn’t predict. I read a lot about predictive systems, but they don’t work, as predictions are really guesses and you won’t get rewarded for that, in life or in Forex trading.

Why Most Traders Can’t Trade Breakouts

It’s easy to do logical and it works but most traders have a mental block about doing it, as they want to be in at the exact top or bottom and think they have missed the move and want it to pullback, giving them a better entry point. This of course doesn’t happen, the trend continues and the trader waiting misses it.

Breakout trading is all about putting the odds on your side and on good breaks, the odds favor a continuation of the move. You miss a bit at the start but there is more profit on the way and that’s your aim – to make a profit, not try and buy lows and sell highs which is impossible!

Putting the System Together

Not all breakouts are valid and you have to find the best ones and furthermore, to put the odds on your side even more, you need to confirm them by looking at momentum and we will look at this and more in part 2 of this article series, as we put together a simple robust Forex trading strategy for profit.

Forex Trading Signals – How to Spot the Trend Easily in Currency Trading

Monday, January 4th, 2010

You may have heard of this frequently in some forex trading tutorials, ‘Trend is your best friend’. So there is really nothing to be afraid of trends in forex trading. In fact, one should leverage the power of the trend to make money in currency trading.

Although many people is aware that they have to trade with the trend, but surprisingly for some reason, a lot of people may have problem of spotting a real trend. It may be true that different people has different views on whether the currency pair is trendy or not. But the bottom line is, if you can’t spot a trend in forex trading, there is nothing else much simpler that you can do.

The first step that anyone attempts to trade the forex will be identifying the trend, wait for a good entry point into the existing trend and then hope to ride the trend as long as possible. So they will try to figure out whether its a down trend or up trend by looking at their arsenal of forex indicators. Are you doing the same too? If you are, that is the mistake that most people make! You should train your eyes to judge instead of using those moving averages to be able to know where the trend is.

So how do you do it? It’s not as difficult as you think it is…yes, it’s simple! What you have to do is to pull out a chart of the currency pair that you would like to trade. First look at the chart and try not to look for very long, the first impression will always be the more accurate one. If price is going upwards from the bottom and if the past 3 to 5 candlesticks are bullish, then it’s obviously an up trend. Vice versa for a down trend.

If you are a short term trader, you should look at longer time frame charts to have an idea on what the main trend is before looking for forex trading signals in shorter time frame. For example, if you are trading using the 1 hourly time frame, you should also be looking at the 4 hour and daily charts to see what is the trend of the longer term. This will definitely filter off some whipsaws. Another example, if you are scalping the 5 minutes chart, what should you do? Yes, you will be looking at the 15 minutes and 1 hourly chart to read the trend.

Knowing where the trend is going always put you in the driving seat. So start training your eyes from now on to look at whether the charts are trendy or not. You can be sure that you will consistently make profits when you follow the trend with a forex trading system.
