At this time we will learn how to trade or open position in the market on Metatrader charts. Well understood and practiced in your demo account ..

Press the F9 key to order in Metatrader, or CLICK 2x on its currency in the Market Watch screen

Suppose you want to open sell position on the EURO / USD

 



At 6 pm the position of EUR / USD at a price of "Bid / Ask = 1.3776/1.3778

Bid (Sell) = 1.3776, Ask (Buy) = 1.3778

explanation:
Symbol: the name of the currency to be traded
volume: the lot size is used, the standard account is 0.10 that means every price movement is worth $ 1.

0.2 if it's one point worth $ 2, and so on.
Stop loss is stopped automatically at prices so (that is loaded) to minus position.

Take Profit is stopped automatically at prices so (loaded) for the position plus. To fill, easy, that's no small arrow next to them for setting the price at our mengambilprofit automatically (if the price touched), before you have to click the first "copy as".
Clear the Comment wrote ah, no coment
Type: Well there are several options ...
Instant Execution was to take short positions or buy to live in love, just click what you'd like to buy or sell traded. Now it is under buy sell to the click as the "brush" profit or loss discard.

(At that time we order pairs of the position of the Bid (Sell) at rate 1.3776), and afterwards in our portfolio will account directly (minus) -2 floating point spread because there is this difference. (the difference between his buy and sell prices)

Then after that in the hours of 7 pm position EUR / USD turns into:
Bid (Sell) = 1.3756, Ask (Buy) = 1.3758

In this example, we will get a profit of 1.3776 - 1.3758 = 18 pips / points

  • If we order the Bid (Sell), and then if its ask price (Buy) move down smaller than the original price of our Bid, then we will get the profit.

  • When you order with Ask (Buy), and then if its Bid (Sell) to move up beyond the original price of Ask us, then we will get the profit.

Fundamental analysis and the term

Fundamental Analysis


In the next lesson, we learned menegenai fundamental analysis. Is it? Let us read ...

Fundamental analysis basically took the approach adjacent news or rumors circulating in the market, As we kethui with financial markets such as stocks and money markets are very sensitive denganberita being circulated in the market. So what happened to the FOREX market trading. It can even be said that the exchange rate moves are the news. In other words, market news is the driving emotion that resulted in changes in the balance point in the exchange rate.

If you are a layman, perhaps we are not too concerned with the rise in U.S. interest rates, for example. But tidakbagi a trader. Central Bank interest rate hike by the Fed (U.S. central bank) could mean stronger U.S. dollar to hundreds of points, which means that's where the money can be obtained. Or conversely, a loss may occur if action is not taken in accordance with the market.

That's why news / news greatly affect the investment portfolio of a forex trader, then it's time you also learn fundamental analysis.

There is a logical flow and economic laws that apply here. (Although sometimes it is not 100% effective in fact, fundamental analysis relates not only to the logical thinking of monetary policy or news coming out but also how the market reacts to the news aka the psychology of the market).

CPI is an inflation indicator most commonly used and well regarded as an indicator of the effectiveness of government policy. The rising CPI indicates that rising inflation will lead to decline in bond prices and rising interest rates.

Unlike other indicators of inflation, which only cover items of local production, CPI also includes imported goods. The disadvantage was the small number of samples taken. The analysts usually focus more on the core (core) CPI, CPI variant that does not include the components of the change in price is the least stable. Core CPI assessed
more accurate in measuring the rate of inflation.

overall.

Durable Goods Orders

The GDP report is divided into three releases: 1) advanced - first release, 2) preliminary first-revision, and 3) final - the second and final revision. These revisions are usually significant effect on the market.

 Housing Starts & Building Permits

new per month. Most of the data collected from the Housing Starts number of applications and licenses (permits) for the construction of houses.

This data includes the main indicators. The importance of these data lies in its ability to trigger changes in economic conditions, changes in predicted growth rate.
The fall in the number of new housing units could slow the economy and encourage the
direction of recession. Conversely, an increase in the number of new housing units indicates
economic growth.

The monthly increase in more than forecast interpreted as an indication of rising inflationary pressures.

Institute for Supply Management (ISM)


Formerly known as the NAPM, effectively unchanged since January 2002.

Is an important survey on U.S. manufacturing activity conducted by the Institute forSupply Management (ISM). The report is usually issued on the first working day of each month, providing a detailed view of the beginning of the manufacturing sector prior to the issuance of another employment report.

This survey is known for its accuracy timeliness (time period) it, the breadth of information available, and the numbers listed on its headline is a function of six major components:
price paid, new orders, supplier deliveries, production, inventories, and employment. It should be noted, the three last components reflects the power supply (supply), while the three previous components reflect the strength of demand (request).

It can be seen how the relative trend between the two groups (supply and demand) illustrates the balance between the two forces, and it provides a view to the policies of the Federal Reserve.

Component price paid (Price Paid) is widely considered as components
involve an element of price pressures in the sector, the number of 50 or more indicates that the sector is expanding, while a reading below 50 indicates a contraction.

Industrial Production


Industrial Production is a monthly data that measures the total production of the entire plant,
mining, and public service companies (electricity, water, gas, transportation, etc.).
Manufacturing Production, the largest component of Industrial Production Data, can be predicted accurately from the total hours worked from the employment report. One of the biggest drawbacks
of these data is the inclusion of component production level of public services that can be greatly affected by the change (eg climate change).

Increase more than forecast this indicator is defined as the increase in the inflation rate, which in turn will cause a drop in bond prices and rising interest rates

Capacity Utilization


Capacity Utilization is complementary Industrial Production data. Capacity Utilization
calculate the rate of use of capital used in production processes
This data up and down in line with the business cycle. Rising levels of production will cause a rise in this data as well. However, the very high level of difficulty in compiling these data lead to less market trust level accuracy

The increase exceeded the estimates of these indicators are interpreted as rising inflation, which in turn will cause a drop in bond prices and rising interest rates.

Leading Indicators

Money Supply


Data is to calculate the amount of money circulating in the economy. Is the sum of:

• The amount of money in circulation in the form of coins or paper

• The number of loans from banks, to individuals, companies and other banks

Non-Farm Payrools (NFP)

This index reflects the performance of the commercial and industrial sectors. The higher the value
indicates the high level of economic growth.

Producer Price Index (PPI)


Is a set of indices that calculate the rate of change in the selling price of goods and services in a period of time received by domestic producers. PPI was calculated based on three areas of production: industry, commodity, and production of intermediate goods.

In short, the PPI measures the rate of price change from the perspective of the seller.

Not as good as the CPI indicates inflation pressures. But because components include items that are in the process of production, as well as PPI can often estimate the CPI.

Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI)


PMI is a composite index of the five main indicators, which include the following elements: Order, Level Inventory, Production, Shipping, and Labor. The index number above 50 means expansion of industry experience, below 50 means contraction.

This index is considered as an important indicator and is considered the best indicator to measure the level of production. This index can also detect the pressure of inflation and industrial activity.

Productivity


Measuring changes in the quantity of goods and services produced per unit. Combining labor and capital inputs. Price unit of labor component is a useful indicator to measure the pressure on wages. The importance of productivity has grown in recent years since the Federal Reserve has started to pay attention to the trend growth and inflation.

Personal Consumption Expenditures - PCE


Approximately equal to the CPI, PCE was reported (more precisely a part of the Personal Income report) released by the Bureau of Economic Analysis of the Commerce Department.

University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment Index


Is the result of a survey of consumer confidence conducted by the University of Michigan. Is an indicator of consumer confidence in America the most attention.

Consumer confidence is an important indicator for the business cycle because it presents important information about consumers' assessment of the current situation and expectations in the
future.

The questionnaire contains five questions: (1) rating business conditions in the household, (2) rating business conditions in six months, (3) the availability of jobs in the domestic environment, (4) availability of employment in the next six months, and (5) family income in the past six months.

Consumer Confidence is closely related to the unemployment rate, inflation, and
real income. Generally, consumer confidence high when low unemployment and high GDP growth rates.

Financial markets interpret this index as the increased number of indications will increase the level of consumer spending. The high level of spending in turn could trigger inflation.

 Unemployment Rate


Is the percentage of job seekers compared to the total population. Although it is the data
which is commonly known (as simple and there are political implications), Unemployment
Rate relatively less important for the market because it is considered less accurate (often late
signaling changes in economic trends).

Choosing the best time frame for trading



I want a little talk about the Time Frame. Many of us do not know how we're safe Time Frame for trading. How Time Frame which is not safe? As we know, the Candle at higher TF is a combination of movement of the TF that few candles lower.

Candle Height in H1 is different from the one candle high in H1 or M15.Candle could have the size to 100 pips even never reach 200 pips. Medium in M15 only reac
h a maximum of about 60 -70 pips. Errors take on TF H1 OP erosive floating candle would result in some swelling that occurs minus value. Example 4 floating candle H1 size minus 40 pips to 160 pips cause. While in TF M15 if floating candle size occur 4 to 15 pips, then the value of minus only be 60 pips.

This will affect the margin and equity security that we have. So use TF according to the power of capital and margin resilience that we have. If the stock just under $ 500, it's not safe to play on H1 or H4 especially in D1. One Candle D1 if one could take the position of minus 400 pips over a single candle, if resistance only 230 pips, we can MC in one candle.

In the chart the forex market platform, available time frame (Time Frame) that you can use to benchmark trading. All Forex charting platform offers a chart from 1 minute to weekly or even monthly period. So, the question often arises from the trader, which is the best time frame to analyze the currency pair and make profits in Forex?

If the answer to that question is me, then I will answer, "It depends on what kind of trader you are. If you are a day trader, then you must use the short time frame to capture a small trend in the Forex. If you are a swing trader, you have to use a larger time frame, in order to capture the best swing in the Forex.

The time frame for a day trader:


There is a choice of time frame (time frame) that can be used for the day trader. The most common are 1 minute, 5 minutes, 15 minutes or even 30 minutes. But for me, the frame time of 1 minute is not very good, because most of the frame period of 1 minute does not offer many opportunities. This time frame is too small to understand price movements and the difficulty of finding a good intraday trend. You will not be able to see the difference between the price was little and large.

5 minute time frame allows a reasonable time frame for the day trader. It also allows you to capture trade quickly with decent movement to take advantage.

Time frame 15 minutes is like 5 minutes, one of the best time frame for the day trader. It allows you to see clearly the difference between the trends are small and large. The time frame also allows you to hold the winner. Time frame 30 minutes can also be used for the day trader. However, time can only be used if you intend to continue in the trade of up to 6 or 8 hours.

The time frame for Swing Trader:


Time frames are most often used for the swing trader is a graph of 1 hour, 4 hour charts, and even the daily chart. Medium Time Frame 1 hour is a good time if you want to continue to trade for 1-2 days. It presents a good opportunity for this type of trading and allows you to trade preformance with good risk-reward (something that is almost impossible to do in such a small time frame chart 5 minutes or 1 minute).

Sedangka Time Frame 2 hour and 4 hour charts allow Time Frame for traders who want to hold a trade for a few days to 2 weeks. Time Frame allows you to capture the largest movement in the Forex.

Daily chart is intended for traders who want to continue in the trade for weeks and is suitable for an investor. This is a good time frame that allows you to know where the currency pair will move to the next week.

So, there are many options to choose frames from the use of Forex charts. Depending on the nature and type of a trader in the trading (day trader or swing trader), you can use different time frames to achieve your goals. We should remember that the time frame has advantages and disadvantages compared to the others.

If you're looking for a Time Frame your favorite, keep in mind that you have to use technical analysis in your trading.

What kind of personality a forex trader?

forex trader psychologyThe idea became the forex traders seem interesting. But unfortunately not everyone has a personality that is suitable for daily trading. Even those who succeed in other areas (even a related field), we often find they are not compatible with the daily trading. If you are a day trader in forex, you actually can make a flexible profession (that can be adapted to different styles), but there are some qualities that all day traders should have a special personality to be successful (profitable), and avoid "accidents" in trading process.

 

 

 

 

patience


What you are tired of hearing these words, each learning forex is constantly reminded by these words. But you must remember, patience must be invested as you instill the term profit in mind. Failure to impress on your personality, you have entered the area "warning". The more you appreciate the patience and analyze intelligently, will lead you to the safety of your account. We know, daily trading in trading a lot more to do his job by sitting quietly in front of the computer, wait at any time (a few minutes, hours or even days), only to be followed the next trade. Able to wait patiently is a necessity, if not, you will find yourself in a trade could take that are not part of the trading system, and most likely you are losing money.

Waited patiently not necessarily mean without doing anything, lots of things you can do while you wait for the next trade. You can join the group-group on facebook forex trader, you join the live trading room, where you can interact with other traders, a lot of benefits that will be found, although there are several other traders who play the game, or interact with friends friends in facebook or watching a movie, so leave it alone ..., for me is simple,forex trader does not need to think and talk about all day forex.

assertiveness


Deciding when to get in and out of the trading is one of the most basic functions of a day trader, and it is important that the decision was made ​​as efficient as possible. Be crucial for determining trade successfully, if not, you will just sit and watch your trades, especially you're floating ... stress! Being assertive does not mean you do something without control, and take the trades that you are not sure, but it means to act immediately when you find the right moment.

A trap for forex traders the most common is that they see a trade happening, but hesitated and then wait for the trades (waiting for confirmation that the trade will be a winning trade before they enter into it). It always generates an entry price that is not good because it would be "too late" and can transform into a profitable trade is detrimental to trade.

tranquility


Would you be calm in your trade? Tranquility for the trade is one of the most important personality trait for a day trader, but also one of the most difficult to put into practice. As a human, a natural reaction to a profit of trade is fun and joy But traders need to control these emotions daily. Instead they are being "negative" emotions will influence their trading decisions (particularly negative emotions). For example, the panic that occurred after the loss of trade that will probably make you take a new trade immediately in an effort to make the money back, even though it was not trading in accordance with your trading system.

Trade in Simulation


Trading in the simulation is a good way to practice patience, firmness, and your peace of over trading, without risking real money. After many hours, days, or weeks of simulation, you will have a good idea of how your personality and your emotions will affect your trading, but even then, there will still be an emotional response when you start live trading.

Minimize the loss in forex trading

minimize Loss in forex - forex blogIf that loss is difficult to avoid, which is important at the end of the week or end of month profit results,be in withdrawl. But I've got tips, may be useful for you. Can be practiced. If I lie, forex tracker to be closed down :)

How do you manage your money and minimize the risk of loss in forex trading is playing a key role for you to become a successful Forex Trader....

 

Let us focus on minimizing your Forex Trading Losses:

A Good Trade - Trading with the good. Patience is the key to forex trading. Create a demo account first, and practice your skills there. Only live trading when you are 100% sure of all trading conditions.

Follow the rhythm of trading


Follow your trading plan, systems, and strategies, and not try to change it, if it is making you uncomfortable. You also must know when to enter and exit market conditions. Do not stress yourself and get out of the market in a state minus, when it was in accordance with your trading sistemm. Follow your plan, set to stop loss and take profit.

Do not be Greedy


Fear and Greed will make you loss every time. Greed is the emotion and you must remain calm, to stay focused on practical trade. Emotional is Judi.

Keep your emotions


Calm in the trade better. Even with the best trading plans, systems and strategies, it will increasingly be awesome. Let the profit you get, cut your losses, and be sure to stay in your system and your strategy.

Measure Profit Pips


I find that rather than focusing on profit pips at $ s is much better. $ It makes emotional, strategic fixed pip. If you are not comfortable trading much larger sizes, do not do it. Proper money management and risk reward ratio is the key to a sweet surprise and shock will usually adjust to your comfort zone.

The Trend is Your Friend


According to some, the Forex market is a trend only 20% of the time. Make no mistake, identify trends or the lack of a trend, it is important, you want to do it at some period of time. But do not rely only on the trends, use of indicators, trendlines, and pivot points.

Set Goals


You know exactly how many pips you are targeting. How much better you will cease trading. How many bad trades you will ever take. Everyone has bad days and what I do is go for a walk, eat meatballs, a delicious air search or change the scenery in some of the things that make us stay away from Forex. You have a plan, follow, make sure it is a Smart Plan. Specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, and Timelined.

Economic Calendar


The forex market tends to be stable at about important economic news. This "noise" may actually be able to throw your profitperdagangan. Or it can help your trading. Either way, you have to stay on top of Forex Economic Calendar News by checking at least a day before the trade.

Set Conditions


When do you enter a trade? Out of the Trade? When you take take advantage or disadvantage? Hours, sessions, and what currency pair you trade in?

Managing Your Money


Only 5% at most risk. Combined. If you have a trade, should the amount of 5% or less. Some people use 3%. Again and you will have a harder time to rebuild your portfolio after a bad trade.

Know the risks and profit opportunities


How many pips are you willing to risk? Are you going to risk 200 pips to make 20? You want to take less risk than you are bound to make.

Practice Practice Practice


Open a demo account, test your system thoroughly, plans and strategies. And please do not change every day or hour, and stop looking for the holy grail. Your demo account balance after the first month of trading would provide a good indicator of how well you've done.

Well, thus minimizing loss tips for forex trading, may help :)

Fatal Error When using Autotrading

Autotrading like Zulutrade system, MirrorTrader and Pipsbook is an excellent solution for the owners of capital who can not trade or do not have time for trading. Many people who use Zulutrade profitable (and other systems) with various signal providernya. But not a few others that are not profit for a variety of errors. Consider these things and solutions:

1. Risk is too big


Generally, because of luck too sure at 3 parties (you, signal providers, and others who follow the signal provider), you determine the amount lotsize optimistic approach. Ie the assumption of where the market is never bad, and SP never passed drawdown that had been passed during the strategy goes. So you use a drawdown that has occurred as a benchmark max loss. As a result, when the drawdown is passed (-meaning there is a greater drawdown). Then there was a disaster.

For example, the SP has a 1000 pips drawdown. You deposit $ 1000, then using 0.1 lot (max risk means 1000 pips = $ 1,000). This is a recipe for disaster. Ideally it should be maximum drawdown of 20% -30% of your capital, not 100%. If you do not like math, use a free calculator to determine the exact lot ZuluTrade Calculator - FXOptimax

2. Overconfidence


After a few weeks of SP that you follow consistently profit, most people start itching to mess up their own risk plan. "During this profit anyway, really small drawdown, gw aja naikin his lot until fixed.!!!! '

Throw away those thoughts, unless you balance plus (so in accordance with the risk plan), or your balance increases significantly because profit.

Selogis might think a basic odds with science is taught in high school. If an SP has an average 80% profit position, means that 1 out of 5 of his trade will loss. If you have a 10x profit in a row, then the loss will be even greater possibilities. So do not raise your risk by increasing the lot while being a great opportunity loss.

The film titled 21 could be a good reference for the application of science opportunities.

3. Perceiving excessive SP


The pilots usually fly on autopilot, except during take off and landing. But if the plane crash, the pilot will take over control of the plane. Likewise, if the trend is considered much too strong in a particular direction (the opposite direction of where you are), you can do hedging, or to close the position. But should the decision to hedge is based on logical analysis, instead of to fears or panic.

4. Capital is too small


If you do not have sufficient investable funds, do forex trading. You can not expect capital of $ 200 you can give a profit of $ 200/bulan, so you can retire from your job. Rational profit was about 100% a year with a risk that is "reasonable". And you need a $ 300 - $ 500 to trade 0.01 lot with a risk that is "reasonable" is. If you do not have a budget invest that much, so look for another job to raise capital. Zulutrade or other systems (the minimum tradenya 0.01 lot) is not for you that has a capital of only $ 100.

With funding of $ 100, you'll want to consider PAMM than autotrading.

5. Does not account for commissions


If your broker charge 2 pips and your SP rata2 8 pips profit per trade. Then the commission will be worth 25%. If SP 100X and you follow trade 0.1 lot. Assuming a 80x profit 10 pips = 800 pips and 20x loss 20 pips = 400 pips, then your net profit is 400 pips, and the commission is 200 pips, aka half of your profits. Look for systems / broker as cheaply as possible, if necessary, its free!

That's all! Do not let trivial mistakes like this makes you much less loss MC

How good forex trading psychology?



Before entering the world of forex trading, worth taking the time to give attention to the psychology of trading FOREX. Although this may have nothing to do with all the technical requirements and skills necessary in investment, mental processes and behavior when you trade in. trade often determines success or failure.

Your emotions, feelings and thoughts opinion greatly affect your trading. And if you do not master such things or you could hardly do other than to use your intuition to determine your decisions when dealing with the assets, can lead to severe losses.

The issue is important psychology:

Trader can survive to let the minus and put stoploss dare not, for fear of losing the hope he would return. On the other hand, a bad trader can also close too early as soon as they saw a small profit because they fear that it not be allowed to profit at getting and the value of their assets will fall and result in losses.

Various reasons why individuals need to manage and maintain this fear of trading psychology, though difficult. Most likely the main problem comes from the lack of a mature plan on trading. That is why to plan and forex trading systems is very important before you try to invest your cash in one market.

A plan that fit perfectly can help you decide with logic. This is because the rules take into account special considerations that determine when to enter or exit a trade. In addition, the system can overcome the fear of losing to establish the level of risk that you are comfortable with.

There are some individuals who still fail even if they've succeeded. The reason for this is the lack of commitment or discipline to follow what has been set. The only reason there may be a fear of losing because there are some doubts about the effectiveness and profitability of the rules are followed.

You can control the psychology of trading to make sure your plan will work more or less in line with your expectations. You can do this with a micro account for back testing. This is a way to determine how well the rules you will do to a set of historical data.

Feelings and thoughts can make a profit or break you depending on your level of control. You can manage it by making sure that you are committed to a trading system that has been tried and tested. You will be satisfied with your trading. So, as a friend, I am always reminded that forex trading psychology is worth studying further.

Forex short term strategy

"People are not remembered by how few times they fail, but how often they succeed."
- Thomas Edison

Okey, I am sharing this post about strategies for short term profit. Let us together quickly succeed in the forex business.

This strategy uses two chart TIME FRAME 15-minute and 1-hour charts chart, and 200 period EMA and 4-bar slow stochastic. To identify trends you should look for situations where consistanctly priced above or below the moving averages on both charts.

Once the trends have been identified:

IF the market is more than 20 points above (for going long) or 20 points below (for going short) moving average.

Stochastic fast pass line / cross above the slow line Stochastic under 20 (for going long) or below the line crosses above the slow stochastic 80 (for going short).

If these conditions are met it means that the currency is currently in a short-term uptrend or a downtrend and has stopped or pulled back and ready to make a turn / turn.

Stop loss should be set 10 points below the 200 period MA on the 15 minute chart. for going short, place a stop 10 points above 200 - period moving average on the 15-minute chart.

Technical Analysis (Chart)

The Reasons For Becoming A Forex Traders



Foreign currency exchange market investors are currently offering many advantages. So many
forex traders scattered everywhere throughout this hemisphere. Not without reason, myself included them and also (in the future perhaps you) would have to have at least 5 reasons why we want to become world currency trader.

A Market Is Never Close


Many of the trading market in the world, located at the site and continue to operate within strict trading hours, often limited to only five or six hours a day between Monday and Friday .. However, the Forex market is open 24 hours a day.

This means that the merchant does not only take advantage of international events, but they also have the ability to set their own trading hours. If you prefer to work in the morning because it has a particular job, it does not matter, you can trade forex in the evening. Or vice versa. You can trade forex in the day when you have a busy work at night. Bottom line, you can choose to trade day, late at night or even in the middle of the night if you want.

Low Cost Trading


In many markets, like the stock market, traders do not only need to pay the spread (the difference between the buy and sell price of the stock), but also have to pay a commission to the broker the commission is usually small trades can be around $ 20 and this can be increased rapidly to more from $ 100 for a larger trade.

Since the foreign currency exchange market is an electronic market entirely eliminated many traditional trade costs and you can maximize your trading capital. Capital may adjust your economic circumstances. But the broker has set up a micro account and standard account. Where to micro account for you which is relatively small in the ability to invest in the forex accounts (ie under $ 100). While the standard account over it or use substantial funds. In addition, the highly liquid (liquid) from the global currency exchange market. So can profit easily thawed and directly transferred to the account belongs to us (LOCAL BANK).

Ability To Trade On High Leverage


In most of the markets in which a trader has the opportunity to trade on leverage offered is often very low. In the case of the stock market, for example, equity professional day traders will typically operate at about ten times leverage their capital. In the Forex market the contrary it is quite common to find that traders are permitted to trade one hundred and two hundred times their capital.

A downside of high leverage is that it can certainly lead to high losses and high profits. However, the foreign currency market, risk management so tightly controlled.

Real Time


Currency trading transactions immediately executed in real-time by using the price at which the company will buy or sell the currency quoted. In almost all cases, this means that the price you see and the price you pay is the same.

It is not often the case in other markets where there are quite often put a delay between the command and the command was executed during which time the price will often move against you.

Two Opportunities To Profit


Equity markets go up and down following the trend (cycling between Bull and Bear markets), but cycling the Forex market does not experience this from the structural bias in the market.

World currency trading always involves two currencies, so if you are disappointed in one currency then you go up on the other side. Therefore there is always the potential to make a profit whether the market goes up or down.

We can gain an advantage in trade, whether the market is up or going down. His way is by analyzing a currency pair which will naek or down, and take the difference of his trade.
If you believe the currency will be stronger (up) please make buy position, and wait for the price to rise, do closed (sell) when the currency exceeds the price of your purchase before.

If you believe the currency will weaken (down) do sell position, wait for price drops, do closed (buy) when the currency was under selling price you earlier.

As the example is this:
Opening of Euro 1.1750 / 1.1753, the euro will analyze your kid into position 1.1770/1.1767, then open a position when the price buy it (then you buy at position 1.1753), and when the position changed to 1.1770/1.1773, do the closed position / sell currency (in the position 1.1770)
