Forex market trading strategies If you strive to become a successful Forex trader, you need to create your personal trading strategy. In the trading practice there is no trading strategy, which could be equally suitable for all traders. Every trader should create a trading strategy by himself, which would be suitable for the trading conditions by all parameters. There are traders, who are guided only by technical analysis when trading, while others prefer fundamental analysis. But there are such traders, who carry out both technical and fundamental analysis in order to determine the most appropriate points of the market entry and exit. Technical analysis supposes a concept, that prices are moved by trends. There is an established phrase “trend is your friend”. All the movements on the market have their images, which were studied over years. http://www.signals-provider.com -
4 Pitfalls of Demo Accounts A forex demo account is a very important tool for assessing a broker’s platform, testing your technical analysis skills and lots more. Using a demo account is highly recommended. Yet it doesn’t fully prepare you for the real thing. Here are 4 pitfalls for demo accounts, and solutions for part of them. Demo trading doesn’t include execution problems: Even the best brokers with a strong reputation and many liquidity providers cannot avoid a failed execution of your orders. This is reality, especially in extremely volatile market conditions. Execution in demo accounts doesn’t fully mimic real accounts. Unfortunately there’s no solution for this issue, and this doesn’t mean you should skip demo trading. Just be aware of this.

Stocks vs Forex The foreign exchange market might seem very similar to other financial markets to some people. On the surface, the forex exchange has many similarities to the stock exchange. However, there are a number of differences. Below is a breakdown of some of the major differences that might not be obvious to everyone. The Marketplace The stock market is a centralized market, meaning that it is located mainly in one place: the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). All trades enter and exit from that location. Forex is not centralized, and is considered an over-the-counter (or OTC) exchange. Trading Hours The stock market is operated on a strict schedule. So is the forex market. However, the stock market operates for 8 hours per day and then shuts down. Traders have to wait until the next morning to start trading again. There is no downtime in the forex market. It’s operated 24 hours a day in 3 shifts, 365 days a year. The forex trading hours in the U.S., Asian and European markets overlap, so trading at any time of the day or night is seamless. http://www.signals-provider.com

GOLDEN RULES FOR TRADING Divide your Risk Capital in 10 Equal Parts. As part of the Successful money management, it is always advised to divide your Risk Capital (which you can afford to lose) into 10 equal Parts and at any given time none of your Single Trade should have more than 3 parts of your capital in it even if you are in a winning position. At the same time always keep some spare money for any Buying Opportunity, which may come any time. Trade ONLY in active & high Volume Stocks/ Futures. Many Traders get stuck with stocks for want of liquidity. Always rely upon Stocks which have reasonably high volume over a period of time. High Volume are always advised for easy Entry, Exit and Stop Loss. In low volume stocks the spread is too high and chance of Stop Loss limit getting failed is too high as there would be no Buyer or seller at your Stop Loss Level. http://www.signals-provider.com

I can see the blooming motivation of a beginner trader transpire through this question. You’ve just discovered forex trading and you’re wondering “gee, could I do this, like, all the time!?” Well the answer is almost. The forex market is a 24/5 market. It simply means that the forex market is opened for 24 hours every working days of the week. Depending on your time zone, it opens on Sunday night (at 10PM GMT) and closes on Friday night (at 10PM GMT). As you can see, the forex market is actually closed during weekends. I remember back when I first started trading forex I was so disappointed that it would be closed on weekends. I wanted to trade more! After a while though I realized that I actually needed to sleep once in a while and having free weekends became a pretty cool thing. Obviously it was at this point that I decided to do some intensive testing for different strategies and I couldn’t do that during the week (trading time!) so I decided to test during weekends. Sleeping time was over. The market being open is not enough a reason to be trading. There are several reasons for this. 1) You need to rest Weird to start from there, but I think it’s an important point. As a beginner forex trader, you might start to get obsessed with trading and will want to spend all your waking hours looking at candles going up and down. You need to sleep. The market will still be there tomorrow. Have a rest, get away from your computer and think things over. I’ve had my most important forex trading breakthroughs away from the computer. You could be spreading bread on a piece of toast and suddenly realise “heyyy, here’s something I should be testing!” 2) The market conditions are not always great As you’ve learned by going through our forex training (if you haven’t, shame on you), the forex market is divided in several sessions. Some sessions are more active than others. Thankfully for us in the UK, the UK session is the most active session of all.

Chaos Theory and Market Reality While a trading novice on Forex market starts facing some hurdles in trading, the first thing coming to mind is that for having a complete success on the market it is required to learn forecasting the price movement. Having investigated the market fundamentals he will understand that a fundamental analysis should be used for long term suppositions and the technical one – for short term outlooks. Puzzling out the market history where the trader works he will notice that there are repeated time periods. During a long period of time the markets have been moving up and down in long cyclic periods. Watching over the chat there can be seen short term shaping figures on it which repeat again and again. http://www.signals-provider.com

Understanding ECN Order Flow Trading ECN or Market-Maker Broker? Debates over the suitability of ECN versus traditional market-making brokers tend to focus on the following issues, broadly as follows: • minimum deposit sizes (higher with ECNs) • spreads (lower with ECNs) • commissions (higher with ECNs) • execution (faster with ECNs but at more realistic prices) • slippage (greater with ECNs) • exposure to account losses (greater with ECNs) These are all areas that any trader looking to open a new account should explore before making a final decision as to which type of broker is more suitable, before taking a closer look at the specific brokers themselves.

Automated Forex Trading In the world of trading in the forex market, there are several different strategies you can utilize to maximize your profit potential. One way to minimize your efforts and potentially maximize your profit is to automate the process by utilizing what is referred to as forex robots – automated forex trading systems that can virtually trade for you. Consider it something like a “forex autopilot” program. When in the market for a forex signal service, research each service carefully. A key feature to look for when researching an automated forex trading system is the adaptability factor. Several different companies (Forex Megadroid, Fap Turbo, IvyBot and others) offer automated forex robot systems. However, the problem with trading solely with automated trading systems is the ever-changing condition of the market. In other words, the market is always changing, and to have a system that performs the same functions repeatedly can create potential problems.

Using Economic Reports in Forex Trading One thing that affects movements in Forex markets is a country’s economic data reports which are released on a daily basis. Economic measures are part of the fundamental analysis which, together with the social and political events, causes Forex prices to make dramatic swings in the market. Not all traders use fundamental factors as a price predictor. Professional traders may choose to analyze charts and graphs in order to capture the trend of the market before placing a trade. But for those who do decide to go with economic data for direction, it is worth following a disciplined system in order to understand the information clearly. As a fundamental trader, you will wake early in the morning and check the economic calendar to see which releases are scheduled for the next day. This information helps you decide whether or not you will move in or out of the market http://www.signals-provider.com.

USD/CAD erases intraday gains The USD/CAD rose to a high of 1.0485 on broad USD strength but failed to break above that level and erased intraday gains during the European session. With not much Canadian or US data on the docket, the USD/CAD as most pairs in the FX market, has spent most of the day within recent ranges unable to pick momentum to set a clear direction. Having bottomed out at 1.0460, the USD/CAS is presently trading at the 1.0465 zone, virtually unchanged on the day ahead of the American opening. USD/CAD supports & resistances If USD/CAD breaks below 1.0460 it could fall towards 1.0440 (Nov 14 low) and 1.0400 (psychological level). On the other hand, resistances are seen at 1.0485 (daily high), 1.0500 (psychological level) and 1.0525 (Nov 15 high).
