Forex Trading Strategy – If Yours Doesn’t Have This in it You Are Guaranteed to Lose!

March 23rd, 2010 | Posted in Trading Strategies   Add Comment
Regardless of the forex trading strategy you use, it must contain the key element enclosed yet, most traders never even consider it and when asked what it is get it wrong! If you don’t want to join the majority of losers, make sure your strategy has it and get in the winning minority…

The key to success in forex markets is:

A trading edge which you can define and which you have confidence in can help you NOT join the losing majority or the 95% of traders who burn their money.

Obvious?

Yes it is – but most traders think the statements below are trading edges and they are not! If you think they are, you will soon see your account wiped out.

Agree with any of the following statements and you are odds on to lose

- I have a forex robot with a simulated track record in hindsight and think it will make me money
- Forex day trading and scalping are a great way to trade
- I like to trade breaking news stories and react quickly
- I like to predict forex prices in advance.
- I believe in a scientific method of trading and science is the answer
- I am clever so am bound to succeed
- I work hard and will get there in the end
- Knowledge is power and I will learn everything I can about forex

There are many more – but show me anyone who agrees with the above and I Will show you a loser.

The problem is most forex traders just don’t understand what an edge is and the above are either myths, thinking forex trading is a walk in the park, or they can follow other people.

Forex trading is hard and that’s why the rewards are so big for the small minority who can get a trading edge.

The good news is anyone can learn to trade and get an edge with the right education.

A trading edge is personal but it is the key factor which will give you confidence and allow you to follow your chosen forex trading strategy through periods of losses (and don’t believe anyone who says losing periods don’t last – they can last for many weeks and this happens to even the worlds top traders) and stay on course with discipline until you hit a home run.

In forex trading its dealing with the losses that is the hard part and if you think it’s easy to stay disciplined when the market makes you look a fool time after time, you have never traded.

In forex trading you must love your losses and see them as part of being successful.

A trading edge has nothing to do with being clever or working hard or having a complicated strategy.

It’s a fact that simple systems work best and always will, as they have fewer elements to break. Furthermore, your strategy on its own even if its logically based still needs to be applied for this you need confidence and this will lead to discipline.

Lack of discipline is the key reason most traders fail because, if you can’t follow your trading system with discipline you don’t have one.

To win at forex trading you need to work smart not hard; you can learn forex trading in a few weeks, gain confidence, get discipline and then start trading and get on the road to currency trading success.

Forex Trading Strategies – Most Novice Traders Use the 3 Enclosed and Lose Avoiding Them!

March 19th, 2010 | Posted in Trading Strategies   Add Comment
The fact is – 95% of Forex traders lose and this is despite the fact, that anyone can learn to win and a major reason traders lose is they pick a strategy which is doomed to failure from the start. Lets look at some common losing Forex strategies, you need to avoid and ones that can put you on the road to Forex trading success.

Before we start, lets make an obvious point and that’s Forex markets are driven by human’s and human’s are creatures of emotion, not of logic. This mean’s you should avoid predictive systems which claim they use mathematics, to predict the future. The most common strategy novice traders use which is doomed to failure is the following:

1. Using a cheap Predictive Forex Robot

Traders continually buy, cheap Forex software and believe the hype, that these systems can predict the future and make them a regular income. Of course, the predictions these packages make regarding the direction of Forex prices, end up as accurate as a horoscopes and lose money.

You don’t get rich, by paying a hundred dollars or so and making no effort. Despite the fact it’s obvious, that making money with no effort is to good to true, traders continue to buy these packages and lose.

2. The Fibonacci Method of trading

Fibonacci was a brilliant thinker but even he, would be bemused by the way his theory is applied to Forex trading.

You are supposed to believe there is some universal law which makes certain retracements valid on a Forex chart. Now, they do work sometimes but pick any number out of a hat and that will work sometimes too! The farout crowd love this theory with its mystical background but if you want to make money, avoid any theory based upon the Fibonacci number sequence.

3. Forex Scalping and Day Trading

The fact is in short periods of time (within a day) all volatility is random and because of this, support and resistance levels cannot be used, because you can’t get the odds on your side. If your try and trade off hourly charts or shorter time frames, then your bound to lose sooner, rather than later. There is no point in trading within random volatility but traders still see this method as a low risk way of trading but it’s one of the highest risk ways of trading you can do.

So how do you win at Forex trading?

Get a simple Forex trading strategy and forget trying to predict – Forex markets are a market of probabilities not certainties. When you trade Forex focus on simply trading the reality of price change as it occurs and focus on the long term trends which make the biog profits and forget about trading the short term noise, where you can’t get the odds on your side.

Sure, you won’t win every trade but if you keep your losses small and run your profits, you can make a great second or even life changing income.

Forex Software – Is Forex Trading Easier With Its Use?

March 19th, 2010 | Posted in Software   Add Comment
There has been a raging debate going on ever since the first forex trading software was introduced in the forex trading field. Is it better than the old way of trading? The manual way?

Well, the manual old way of trading requires patience and it is designed for those who cannot trust a computer to take care of their money and so, they have complete control, to the last minute detail of the trading. The trades are done physically, and carefully scrutinized to the last detail. One must learn to carefully watch, understand and know really well the market and learn about the different factors that affect trading. A trader will continuously be studying trends and market shifts just to make sure that there will be no surprises. It is,therefore, rather normal to see this kind of forex trader always staring at a complex looking graph, trying to understand in detail what the future holds for his investment.

The automated way of trading, however is different. A trader who uses this mode of trading lets the computer do all the work that usually includes data analysis, watching the shifts in market trends, and even the actual trading itself. These programs are built to be user-friendly and simply for this reason you do not need prior experience in Forex trading to get started on the trading; and because the time-consuming aspect of trading is usually passed on to the computer, the trader does not need to be constantly watching over the computer, leaving them with tons of free time to pursue other productive activity. In case the trader does not completely trust the computer to make all the decisions, there are hybrid systems that allow you to make the decisions, while the computer takes care of the other little or non-important tasks.

However, how successful are they in trading live? Well, most of them guarantee an average of 80% accuracy and they are all designed to give the trader a signal when the due time to get in the market comes up. The software will then analyze everything for you (all the details) and when the market fulfills all the requirements for a perfect trading scenario, it will ask you to place a trade. Sometimes, depending on the indicator, it might even suggest how to place a trade.

All said, the forex software actually does make trading a lot easier and with the best software in the market, even the most novice traders can actually make a good return on their investment in the forex market since the software basically makes easy the hard part of forex trading making it absolutely easy for anyone to do well in the forex market.
