Learn Forex Trading
Learning forex trading should not be difficult. With decent understanding of money management rules and a good trading strategy, you should be ready for conquering the forex markets.
You should always try to understand the big picture. You should start each trading session by looking at the daily charts. After looking at the daily charts zoom into 4hr, 1hr, 30min, 15 min etc charts. Forex trading is about interpreting the past price action as well as about interpreting the future price action.
You need to ask: Is the market ranging or trending before each trade. You should ask: Is there any long term patterns that have developed. By taking a general look at the different charts you will develop a general understanding of how the forex markets are behaving in the short as well as the long term.
You should try to figure out the general direction of the currency markets. You can use candlestick analysis and moving averages to identify long term patterns and reversals.
You can use the Bollinger bands applied to 4hr charts to identify the daily trading range. A daily trading range shows you where the vast majority of moves are expected to happen. Any moves outside the daily trading range can be viewed as short term abnormalities.
You need to do some scenario planning, once you have a general overview of the market. You should know what news is scheduled to be released and what is the expected market reaction for that day.
Understanding the big picture does not mean that you should know the whole picture. Try to focus on your favorite pairs. It takes a lifetime to understand a currencys behavior, how it reacts to things like oil prices, interest rates etc. So concentrate only on a few pairs and stick with them.
Keep a daily trading journal. Make notes in the trading journal for each trade. Start each entry by looking at the general direction of the markets for that day. What you expect how the markets are going to react to different fundamental news that is expected to be released that day? What should be your entry and exit for the trade? How many pips you are expecting for that trade? How long the trade should last?
After each trade try to analyze what went wrong and how to avoid it in the future! In case of a winning trade, analyze how many more pips you could have made and how to tweak your strategy for better results in the future trades.
Keeping these general tips in mind while you are learning forex trading will help you a lot. Never ever trade without stop losses and practice on the demo account for at least three months before starting live trading. - 23196
