I suggest you learn whatever there is to learn about forex first, like what sadscorpion recommended, or many of the good sites for forex education that you can search from internet. After all, signals comes from your strategies, if you have a good one.

Ahh yes, the endless journey of market education begins! Good for you! :-)

 

I don't watch much spot forex anymore, but I used to use, and still do from time to time, Aspen Charts. The first page you come to isn't that helpful, but if you register its a pretty neat product for charting and quotes (for free too!).

 

There is a book called "Technical Analysis" by Kirkpatrick, I found this to be a great place to start as the author begins with the history of the markets and develops concepts further from there. It's easy to follow, and well written.

Everybody has a different path to take to become a successful trader. For me a big part of "getting it" was to turn off indicators. Almost all indicators are lagging and (for me at least) caused me to be less engaged in what was actually happening in the market. I was waiting for %K crossing %D or MA crosses or whatever. Now I pay attention to market structure, support and resistance areas and price action.

 

If I was just starting out in forex I would watch 3 pairs (choose 3 of Euro, Yen, Aussie, Canada or Swiss) and watch them on one time frame.

 

As a beginner the keys to learning and not blowing up an account is understand risk/reward ratios. If you only took trades where your risk/reward ratio was 4 to 1 or better you would only need to hit more than 20% to make money. I cannot stress this enough. This means when entering a trade you need a clearly defined protective stop and price target. If you can do just this one thing you can make a little bit of money while learning.

I came across the website in my signature that may be worth trying as a start.

Hi,

 

I'm sort of a vendor :) But this is not to sell you anything.

 

But anyway, my advice is to choose:

 

1) an ECN brokerage, I'd strongly suggest MB Trading, where

2) you don't get ripped off, and

3) you can trade 1/100th Forex standard lot sizes with no penalties

4) and fair, proportional commissions

5) with small $400 minimum starting funding requirements

6) live interbank pricing and fast market data

 

That way, you can start inexpensively, and by keeping your commitments low, survive long enough to make it through your learning curve.

 

Biggest issue is being overcommitted in a position, and having to stop out excessively.

 

Plan for the fact that a market will move against you, and spread out your entries in anticipation that this will happen frequently.

 

Ideally you should formulate a strategy which minimizes or eliminates the need for stops, through acquiring your position over a wide range of pricing. To keep it simple, don't buy everything at one price. Buy at staggered prices, portions of your desired position, and sell at staggered profit takes, etc. Takes a bit of keeping track of your trades, but learn a little about cost basis averaging, and how staggering your entries and exits can work to your advantage.

 

Hope this helps !!

Strategy: Trading Off the Daily Chart

 

Before digging deeper, I'd like to share where I got this strategy from: "Trading Off the Daily Chart" strategy can be found on Forex Strategies Revealed website. I've used it in the complicated world of Forex trading and its been pretty effective. The author makes it look like a simple strategy to follow, but it does make use of advanced trading techniques.

It is actually, all about riding the trend. 15 minute charts and shorter time frame ones are nice to have, but they don't tell the whole story. A lot of Forex traders myself included are high frequency traders and the near term works best especially when you have a day job to go to.

This is where analyzing a daily chart and placing a few well placed trades here and there will be better than looking to chase pips.

This is one of the strategies I use to achieve my goal of making money consistently in different time frames. I have been able to make money in short bursts and also in positions that expire in an hour. In Forex, this is not such an easy task to accomplish.

How it works

It is all about identifying the primary trend or the long term trend at the start. This takes time and some education (which can be found on Trader's Laboratory). You'll then have to determine continuation signals I usually do this with a tool that pinpoints supports/resistance. Additionally, Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicators come in handy.

The good thing about this strategy is that it offers reliable long term signals while providing Forex traders with entry points.

    • Here’s something few are talking about: The Chinese are printing money like it's going out of style. Not that you'd hear about it in the mainstream news. But Bitcoin knows.   Bitcoin always knows.   Here’s the thing…   When the Chinese government prints money to paper over the cracks, their smart money doesn't sit around waiting to get devalued.   It usually flows into three things: Bitcoin, gold, and dollars.   After years of being beaten down, gold's having one of its best years in decades. But here's the secret -- whatever gold does, Bitcoin's going to do it bigger.   Much bigger.   Since last November, when China started their printing spree, Bitcoin's been moving in near-perfect correlation with the People's Bank of China's balance sheet. Over 80% correlation, maybe even 90%.   Again, few are talking about it.   But here's why this matters right now: This could be the beginning of a huge breakout in the crypto markets.   Bitcoin broke above its July high, and historically, that's led to new all-time highs over 90% of the time. The only times it failed? COVID and the 2022 bear market.   That's it.” – Chris Campbell   Profits from free accurate cryptos signals: https://www.predictmag.com/     
    • Originally Answered: How can I compete with people who are better than me in every way?   So you want to outcompete people who are smarter, better looking and more experienced than you?   No problem!   All you have to do is outwork them.   Will Smith said, "if we both get on a treadmill either you're going to get off first or I'm going to die trying."     Most people just aren't willing to work that hard. Sure, they'll show up for the job interview and maybe practice in front of the mirror for a few minutes, but they won't do hours and hours of research and prepare for weeks. They won't wake up early and stay up late working on their dreams.   So while all those smart, good-looking, experienced people are waiting around for the next opportunity to come their way, you can outwork them and create your own opportunities.   In a few years, you'll be that "smart" person everyone looks up to. But you'll be different. You'll know it was your hard work, your inner strength and your commitment to living a great life that made you successful and brilliant - not luck or good genes.” – Tom Corson-Knowles, Quora Profits from free accurate cryptos signals: https://www.predictmag.com/
