Learn Forex Trading – a Tool Box of Essential Indicators for Bigger Profits

Thursday, January 21st, 2010

To learn Forex trading, you need to know the best technical indicators to incorporate in your Forex trading strategy.

Here we outline a toolbox of essential indicators – and give some tips on how to use them for big forex profits. Anyone serious about making profits should include them in their forex trading strategy, so here they are.

If you want to learn Forex trading, you need to spot trends and you need to confirm entry with price momentum in your favor.

1. Trend Confirmation

Trend lines are your first clue to important support and resistance, which is the basis of all good forex trading systems.

You need to know where important support or resistance is – and you can easily spot this by drawing trend lines.

Moving averages are another great indicator to identify trends, so moving averages combined with trend lines are all that you need.

Many traders simply like to buy into support – or sell into resistance and “hope” the trade is going to go their way, if you rely on “hope” you will lose you need confirmation.

2. Indicators for Entry and Exit

When you take a currency-trading signal, you should have short-term price momentum in your favour.

If short-term price momentum is not in your favour the odds of winning are dramatically reduced.

Two great indicators are RSI and Stochastic.

Both give an excellent visual picture of the strength of price.

You can learn how to visually spot price momentum changes easily and you don’t need to understand the equation behind them – just look at the visual set ups.

Many Forex traders use Bollinger bands and MACD for timing trade signals – this is wrong – they gauge volatility – so only use them for that purpose not executing trading signals.

3. Contrary Trading Tools

Do you want to get advance warning of every major trend change?

Of course you do! Then take a look at these indicators.

1. % Bullish

2. Net Traders Position Report

These two indicators are not commonly used by Forex traders – yet they give you advance warning of all the big trends and of course the big profits.

You need to gauge when to enter (use momentum indicators) – but the %

Bullish, and Net Traders Position Report will tell you when a big move is shaping up.

Consider this fact:

Currency markets have huge trend changes when the fundamental consensus is extremely bullish or bearish – and the % Bullish measures peoples view of the market.

In simple terms when the consensus is over 80%, then price is too bullish, on the other hand, when the consensus is under 20% then price is too bearish, a trend change is therefore on the cards.

After looking at the above tool you can confirm a trend change is due further by looking at Net Traders Positions, published bi weekly by the CFTC.

It relates to the futures markets, but movements in currencies tend to mirror the set ups.

You can track hedgers – these are the real pro traders.

These traders know the fair value of a currency – it’s their living. You then compare the hedger’s positions with the speculators – who always get the major turning points wrong and trade on the emotions of greed and fear.

If you’re trading online currencies and you see hedgers going the opposite way to speculators – and this is backed up by the % bullish being over bought or oversold – then a major trend change is on the way.

It’s then time to look at your charts – in order to time an entry opposite to the majority.

In Forex markets contrary trades offer you the biggest reward for the lowest risk – and the % Bullish and Net Traders Position Report will help act on these high profit opportunities.

So now you know the best tools, which when combined with your Forex education, could really make a big difference to your bottom line up Forex trading and their all easy to understand and use, so try them and see them help your currency trading success.

Learn Forex Trading – 5 Tips for Success and Bigger Profits

Saturday, January 16th, 2010

FOREX trading means putting in effort in the right areas, the problem for many novice traders is they listen to a lot of commonly accepted wisdom that simply ensures they lose.

When learning FOREX trading follow the simple tips below (many are NOT Accepted wisdom) but as the majority of traders lose that’s no bad thing!

Here are 10 tips to help you learn FOREX trading and be successful.

1. Don’t day trade

Perhaps the biggest error made by novice traders is to fall for the myth of day trading.

The reality is you will NEVER Make money long term and the odds are stacked against you.

Why?

Because all short term volatility is random – if it is you will never get a trading edge.

Don’t believe me?

Then ask a day trader for a real time track record (not a hypothetical one) and see if you get one – you won’t

2. Success means doing it on your own

Leading on from the above many novice traders think they can learn OFREX Trading by buying an e-book for 100 dollars and it will give them success.

The reality of course is if it were that easy a lot more than 5% of traders would be successful.

The only way to learn FOREX trading is to do it on your own.

3. Use a simple method

The best method to use is a breakout methodology using support and resistance and just a few confirming indicators.

Many novice traders think that learning FOREX Trading involves highly complicated methods – It doesn’t.

Simple methods are easer to understand, apply and more likely to succeed – as there are less elements to break in the real world of online FX trading.

4. Discipline

You will hear this is one of the most important traits to succeed in online forex trading and it is.

If you have a simple method you understand and have confidence in, then you will acquire discipline and can follow your system through inevitable losing periods.

You won’t do this if you use someone else’s method or don’t fully understand it.

5. Don’t mix fundamentals and technical trading

If you follow a technical system – ignore the news you can’t mix the two!

Sure those experts in the media tell convincing stories, but that’s all they are stories and their more often than not wrong.

Trade in isolation with technical system and don’t watch the news.

6. Don’t tick watch

Many traders sweat all day looking at prices – don’t.

It will upset your discipline and get your emotions involved.

Work off the closing price of the day and set your orders for the next day and ignore all intra day moves.

7. Money management take calculated risks

Most novice traders try to restrict risk so much they create it – by placing stops to close, or moving them to quickly.

Don’t fall into this trap.

To win and catch the big moves you MUST accept that the markets will eat into your open equity and you MUST give the market room to breathe.

Learning Forex money management is as important as getting market direction right in succeeding longer term.

8. Work smart not hard

You hear a lot of accepted wisdom telling you that you need to constantly learn FOREX trading to be a success – RUBBISH!

Once you have a method your confident in that’s it – execute it with discipline and don’t put any more work in if you have a successful method your all set.

9. Be realistic

We all hear of traders making millions in a year from small stakes, but their not the norm.

If you could consistently make 50 -100% per annum, you would be up their with the best traders in the world.

Try and make money to fast in FX trading and you will wipe yourself out.

10. So what’s your edge?

Before you start to trade online FOREX ask yourself the above question.

Why should you win – if 95% of traders lose?

If you can’t answer the above question, your learning FOREX needs to continue until you can.

If you work smart not hard, get a simple method you understand and can apply with discipline and accept responsibility for your success, chances are you will answer the above question and make some great FOREX profits!

Forex Day Trading System – Why Don’t Day Trading Systems Ever Make Profits?

Friday, January 15th, 2010

Forex day trading systems are popular and there are numerous ones for sale on the net and they make big claims but never have a track record that’s real, its always simulated in hindsight – why don’t they make money lets find out…

Here is the disclaimer you always see and it’s not worth the paper it’s written on in terms of helping you make profits:

“CFTC RULE 4.41 – Hypothetical or simulated performance results have certain limitations. Unlike an actual performance record, simulated results do not represent actual trading. Also, since the trades have not been executed, the results may have under-or-over compensated for the impact, if any, of certain market factors, such as lack of liquidity. Simulated trading programs in general are also subject to the fact that they are designed with the benefit of hindsight. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profit or losses similar to those shown”.

All the track records you see on day trading systems carry this or a similar disclaimer.

All it means is – the vendor can make money by having the closing prices to hand and simulate (make up) an appealing track record. You never see a simulation lose!

The reason is you, me or my seven year old niece, could make money knowing the closing prices.

Of course this is why these systems never make money, because in real life you have to trade not knowing the closing prices!

You have to wonder why any forex trader would buy a forex trading system from a vendor, when the vendor hasn’t got the confidence to trade it himself – but they do, in huge numbers and are blinded by greed and fear.

So why doesn’t day trading work?

Common sense really, you have countless millions of forex traders who all think differently and this vast diverse mass make the price. You can’t possibly hope to measure what such a diverse base of people will do in a day or less.

Anyone who says they can – ask for their real long term track record to prove it.

Volatility is random in short time frames and as prices can go anywhere in a day session, therefore you can never get the odds on your side and never win.

How to Win

If you want to make money at forex trading do not base your forex trading strategy on day trading. If you want to win either, swing trade and look for moves lasting between a few days and around a week or long term trend follow.

Both the above can work day trading doesn’t.

So leave forex day trading systems to the na

Boost Investment Profits: Learn Forex Trading

Friday, January 8th, 2010

If the stock market has been a rough ride this year, learn Forex trading and get your investment portfolio back on track. The benefits are greater than playing the stock market and, unfortunately, the losses can be just as great. However, if you educate yourself and increase your understanding of the market, trading currencies in the Foreign Exchange market could be a very lucrative shift in your investment strategy.

The Forex, or FX which is an abbreviated reference to the Foreign Exchange market, is the biggest money market in the planet. It’s even larger than the stock market. Due to the Forex factors, which include low volatility, good liquidity and the ability to leverage, you can gain and lose money very quickly.

The fundamentals of Foreign Exchange are fairly simple. It’s the simultaneous purchase of currency, such as the US dollar while selling another currency, such as the Japanese Yen. Currencies are always traded in twos and are traded electronically. The Forex market isn’t in a physical place, such as the New York Stock Exchange. They’re referred to as an OTC market, or “over-the-counter.”

It’s important when you’re first starting out to identify which global currencies are most often traded. These are generally from countries with stable administrations, credible banking systems and low inflation. Those currencies include the US Dollar, Swiss Franc, Australian and Canadian Dollars and The Euro.

There was a time when money trading was an activity which was restricted to institutions such as banks, hedge funds and big corporations. Because of the Internet, the Forex market is now accessible by individual investors. Some of these traders are in it for the sheer speculation, hoping to cash in on profits gained from instant fluctuations in exchange rates. Others are seeking a way to protect their investments from adverse fluctuations in rates in the future. Businesses in particular fall into this second category trying to hedge against risk should future exchange rates fall dramatically.

The Forex market is open all day long over a five day week. This is to accommodate trades across the globe in all time zones. This allows investors the freedom to trade at any time of the day, capitalizing on a market that changes, virtually, when the wind changes direction.

If the Forex market has captured your imagination, speak to your financial adviser to ensure that you have a good understanding of currency trading. You’ll want to minimize your losses when you first get going. There are many websites on the internet where you can practice Forex trading by making simulated trades without using real money.

As an internet marketer, Jan Erik Miranda is also trading Forex for quite sometime now. For more articles on currency trading such as this one, visit My Money Maker at http://bit.ly/98A91

Forex Day Trading Strategies – Day Trading Your Way to Profits

Thursday, January 7th, 2010

There are many forex day trading strategies and systems you can see promoted or for sale online – but which are the best? Let’s find out…

The answer is any forex day trading strategy you try won’t work because day trading and scalping by its very nature is doomed to failure – Why?

It’s simple really if you think about it.

You have to decide in a matter of hours or minutes, what a vast diverse group of traders are going to do and this group is countless millions.

Chaos in the Short Term

They all have different aims, educational levels, some are hedging some speculating, there are long term trend followers, swing traders and day traders and many are governed by their emotions, with greed and fear to the fore, so how on earth can you predict what they will do in short time spans?

You can’t! All short term volatility is random and you have no way of getting the odds on your side and you will lose.

What About the Profitable Track Records You See From Vendors?

You may see track records of profits but they are not quite what they seem.

Hunt around for the disclaimer on any of the forex day trading strategies you see sold online and you will see the worlds “hypothetical”, “simulated” and “back tested” written in the small print.

This means done on paper, not in real time! So these track records count for nothing, there simply made up.

Can You Make Money with any Short Term Trading?

Yes you can and rather than think forex day trading strategies think – forex swing trading strategies. Swing trading looks at longer time frames, normally a few days to a week and here you can get the odds on your side and that means you can win.

It’s still short term trading- but the data is valid and you can calculate the odds which is impossible in day trading.

If you like the idea of trading short term this is the way to go.

You can put together a robust swing trading strategy quickly and be making big profits in less than 30 minutes per day.

So don’t believe the hype about forex day trading strategies, go for a short term trading strategy that works forex swing trading.

You can avoid an inevitable loss and get on the road to currency trading success.

Forex Trading Strategy – The Method the Pro Traders Use to Make Huge Profits

Thursday, January 7th, 2010

The Forex trading strategy enclosed is popular with many of the top traders in the world and it’s very easy to understand and do yet, almost new traders in Forex use it but that shouldn’t worry you to much 95% of them lose money! Let’s look at how this simple logical strategy can make you some great Forex Profits.

Lets first look at how all Forex trends start and if you look at a chart of any currency pair a bull trend will start by breaking up to a new chart high, as the trend matures and develops the bullish currency will keeping breaking highs and this can go on for weeks, months or even years. If you want to get in on these trends when the risk reward is at it’s best, you need to buy these breaks of resistance.

Before we look at how to spot a good breakout, lets look at why novice traders fail to use this method.

The problem most novice traders have is their mindset, they want to buy the exact turn in the currency and this means, their constantly buying into support and hoping it holds. A lot of traders call this prediction but as you can’t predict Forex price movement, it’s just hoping or guessing, these traders keep getting stopped out and their equity gets burned.

It’s not that these traders don’t see a breakout as bullish many do but their attitude is – the price has gone to far, I will wait for it to come back but on the best breakouts it never does and they miss the trend and a good profit.

If you want to win at Forex trading you need to look at breakouts and when they occur – just get on board, keep in mind the odds of success are at there highest when a breakout happens and always keep in mind, that a trend in motion is more likely to continue than reverse.

Good breakouts are levels which have had a few tests before the break,in pure technical terms the minimum number is 2 – but you need more to get the odds firmly on your side. The more times the level is tested, the better the breakout will be when it comes. I look for at least 4 tests and like to see the tests, have occurred in time periods of at least a few weeks apart. Another trick to confirm the breakout, is to use levels which line up on the longer term weekly chart as well as the daily.

When the break comes, protection is under the level which has just given way – if your wrong your out with a small loss, giving you good risk to reward.

There is nothing complicated about breakout trading, it’s easy to learn and furthermore, as markets will always trend, this method will always work. If you want to win with a timeless Forex trading strategy, trading breakouts can make you a great second income in around 30 minutes a day.

Learn Forex Trading – 4 Essential Facts You Must Learn to Make Big Profits

Wednesday, January 6th, 2010

Anyone can make Learn Forex trading and win but you need to understand the 4 facts enclosed or you will join the 95% of losing traders. Let’s take a look at the facts you need to know, to get on the road to Forex trading success.

These facts are in no particular order of importance – there all important!

Fact 1: Forex Robots and Expert Advisors NEVER make Big Gains

Many traders simply think they can spend a few hundred dollars, on a cheap software package and make an income for life with no effort, it looks to good to be true and it is.

These systems lose and that’s why their so cheap! You will never find one which has an audited track record, that’s verified in real time by an independent source. All you get are paper simulations or figures from the vendor, with no independent verification.

If you want to win at Forex, you need to learn skills but if you do you will well rewarded for your efforts.

Fact 2: Forex Prices Cannot be predicted

There is no hidden order to Forex price movement and prices cannot be predicted so don’t try. If you want to win trade the reality of price change, as you see it on a price chart. Don’t try and predict, simply follow market movement and when you do this, make sure your system is simple.

Fact 3: The Best Systems are simple NOT complicated

Simple systems work best and always have, because they are more robust than complex ones with fewer elements to break. If you make a system too complicated it will simply collapse, as it has too many variables to break.

Keep your system nice and simple, with just a few rules and parameters and then pay attention to the next fact, as it is the biggest difference between winners and losers.

Fact 4: Trading discipline is the Key to Forex Success

This is the real difference between winners and losers, because as we have seen anyone can learn a simple system but few traders have the discipline to execute it with discipline – why?

Because most traders can’t take losing they get frustrated, angry, change systems, run losing trades or quit. What they don’t understand is that to win long term, you have to accept losses in the short term.

If you have to decide do you want to be right all the time or make money because the Forex market won’t allow you to do both. Learn to lose, keep your losses small and you will hit winners and make huge profits over the long term.

If you understand the above facts, your all set to enjoy Forex trading success, in 30 minutes a day or less, in the world’s most exciting business – global Forex trading.

Best Forex Trading Strategy – For Making Big Profits in 30 Minutes a Day!

Wednesday, January 6th, 2010

Here we will look at the best Forex trading strategy for making the biggest possible amounts of profit in the least amount of time and the good news is anyone can master this great method for Forex trading success.

Many traders think they can make money with no effort and buy a cheap Forex robot and lose, while another group think the more they learn and the more often they trade, the more profit they will make and this group is wrong. In Forex trading there are no rewards for hard work or a college education, you get your reward for being right and that means working smart – not hard.

If you want to make the really big profits, forget about scalping and day trading, this is a lot of effort, with the odds against you and instead, focus on the big trends that last weeks or months, these make the big profits and you need to get into them.

The good news is – ALL big trends start and continue, by breaking to new market highs – so buy some good breakouts. With this method you can lock into the big trends and then sit back and wait for the trend to unfold.

Do most novice traders do this?

Of course not – but that really shouldn’t concern you , as most traders lose money. These traders are focused on, predicting exact lows and highs and fail to see, that this is just hoping or guessing and they lose. They refuse to buy breakouts, because the move has started and want a dip in price, to get in the trade but prices don’t come back on the best breakouts and the trade is missed.

Forget about being perfect and what you may have missed and think about, what you could gain by buying these breakouts and if its a good breakout it’s a lot of money!

When buying breakouts be patient and selective, only trade a level other traders or the news says is important, because when the level breaks the breakout will probably continue. Look for a lot of tests ( the more the better) and also look for at least two tests, to be a few weeks apart in terms of timescale. If you do this, when the breakout comes the odds are in your favor.

With this method, you can trade a few times a month and spend just 30 minutes a day working, for a triple digit return and that makes this strategy in my view the best Forex trading strategy. Learn to trade breakouts and you have a quick and easy to learn method which piles up huge gains.

Forex Trading Strategy – A Proven One to Catch the Mega Moves and Profits

Tuesday, January 5th, 2010

If you want a simple Forex trading strategy which is simple to learn and apply then the one enclosed is for you and even better it doesn’t take much time to apply, just 30 minutes each day. Let’s take a look at the strategy in more detail.

Many traders try and day trade and like to be trading all the time, they think the more effort they make the more money they make but the reverse is true, in that they take low odds trades and lose. The savvy trader, focuses on the big Forex trends which can last weeks or months, locks into them and holds them which means they make more money in less time.

How do you get into these trends?

Let’s look at our Simple Forex trading strategy which will get you in on every major Forex trend.

If you look closely at any Forex chart. And look at a bullish trend, you will notice that it will start by breaking to new price highs and continue breaking to new highs as the trend progresses. The way to get in on all the best trends, therefore is to buy these breakouts.

Most traders don’t buy breakouts, despite it being logical and profitable because they simply can’t buy a trend in motion. They want to catch the exact turn in the market but this is impossible. When the breakout occurs they sit back and hope the price comes back to where they want to buy it however, if you look at any good breakout, it simply doesn’t pull back and the trader who waits never gets in the big trends and big profits.

When a breakout occurs, you need to buy it and while you have missed a little bit of potential profit, there is more to come, so you will make a lot of money and that of course is the aim of trading.
When looking to buy breakouts, look for resistance levels that are firm and look for several tests, we like six or more and when the level breaks you enter the trade, put your stop just below resistance and wait for the move to unfold.

Breakout trading doesn’t have to be complicated, you can do it with simple bar charts and no indicators or you can add one or two to filter your trades, I know traders who make triple digit gains doing it either way.

Breakout trading works and is a great way to trade, will get you in on every big Forex trend and sure you have to have the courage, to enter a trade in motion but that comes easy, when you see how much money this simple Forex trading strategy makes.
