A Good Forex Trading System Could Have You Rolling In Profits!

By Howard G. Platt 111

Anyone who arms themselves with a good forex trading system as well as taking the time to learn the basics of trading in the forex can be as successful at trading as the most advanced traders. Currency trading is no longer confined to the expertise of banks and financial gurus.

Essentially the forex trader needs to understand how currency pairs relate to each other on the forex market and then be able to effectively analyse the market data to make decisions about when to buy or sell. Thus it is important that the trader's decision-making is based on a sound framework that will guide the trader's choices. This framework is found in a quality forex trading system.

Most forex trading system products on the market also provide the traders with comprehensive information about forex trading, outlining what it is, what to expect, and a run-down of the different types of trading. Different currency trading systems have preferences for different types of trading. It all depends on what has worked for the self-professed expert who has devised the package.

The trader looking for a forex trading system has an array of different products to choose from online. These vary in cost and comprehensiveness. At the get-go, the trader needs to decide if they are looking for a currency trading system that requires manual versus automatic trading.

Manual forex trading systems provide the trader with the knowledge and guidelines to interpret technical data him or herself and then to execute the trades accordingly. This entails long hours of tracking the markets manually and having the confidence to identify profitable trades independently. While this requires more availability of time, it also affords the trader more control.

Automatic forex trading systems works with software and tracks the markets on the trader's behalf, under the interpretation guidelines set by the system, which dictates what constitutes a profitable trade. Trade signals are then generated automatically and the trader is alerted when profitable trade opportunities are identified. The trader can then decide whether to act on the signals by executing the trade or not.

With either system, the ultimate decision to buy or sell still rests with the trader, it is still essential for the trade to have a good understanding of forex trading fundamentals in order to be a successful with any type of forex trading system. - 23199

Guerilla Trader (Part II)

By Ahmad Hassam

Scalper is a workable profile for a small retail trader. However, you should be able to view the overall trend of the market to gauge whether you are trading with or against the prevailing trend. A scalper is also a seeker of short term profits of the level of 25-50 pips.

A scalper is also a seeker of short term profits of the level of 25-50 pips. A scalper might use a 10 minute chart to follow the market, a 1 hour chart to determine the long term trend and the 5 minute chart to time the entries and exits for each trade.

Day trader is a good profile for a new trader. However, sometimes you might not want to close the trade at the end of the day as the trade is in profit and you are expecting more profits if you continue with the trade overnight. There is a rollover cost if you rollover your trades overnight. Be sure if you want to day trade, you know your broker policy on rollovers and the rollover cost for you. A Day trader is looking for larger profits something like 50-100 pips.

A position trader is always for the lookout for big market moves that can get him/her 100-500 pips per trade. He/she might use a 1 hour chart to track the market, the 15 minute chart to time entries and exits and 1 day charts for trend determination.

Position trading is long term like a few months to a year. A lot can happen in few months to a year. The whole world can go topsy turvy. The important question is can you make an investment for that long and survive looking at it for that long.

If you aim for a 1/3 risk/reward ratio, a Guerilla will risk 5-10 pips per trade, a scalper will risk 15-20 pips per trade, a day trader will risk 25-30 pips per trade and a position trader will risk 40-50 pips per trade. Each profile requires different scales of charts and time frames but also indicators and money management parameters.

Always try to maintain a risk/reward ratio of at most 1/3. This means the chances are 3 to 1 that you are going to make a winning trade. In other words, in the long run, you will have 3 winning trades for each losing trade. If you aim for a 1/3 risk/reward ratio, a Guerilla will risk 5-10 pips per trade, a scalper will risk 15-20 pips per trade, a day trader will risk 25-30 pips per trade and a position trader will risk 40-50 pips per trade. Each profile requires different scales of charts and time frames but also indicators and money management parameters.

Even if two trader s use the same charts and technical indicators they might interpret them differently. The differences in money management techniques and attitudes are much less. Good traders tend to share money management and attitude traits. So do bad traders. Do you want to become a good trader or a bad trader? Always keep in mind that in forex trading a 10 pips move up or down can easily occur within seconds or minutes very quickly without any reason or rhyme. No two traders can be exactly alike. - 23199

Common Sense Guidelines For Forex Traders

By Ahmad Hassam

If you don't use common sense than you might as well not trade at all! Someone had rightly said a long time ago that common sense is so common that nobody uses it. Well, if you are going to become a trader than you need a lot of common sense. OK, now a few common sense guidelines for you as a trader:

1) You should always look for a reputable broker. Don't fall into the trap of some unknown broker. Your ability to trade effectively depends on consistent spread and ample liquidity. Anyone can open a position. However, your ability to close a position at a good price is more important.

2) Trading means making consistent steady profits! Learn prudent money management rules. Avoid using excessive leverage that puts your investment capital at risk. Always trade with a stop! Never try to win big in one single trade. This is not trading, it is gambling. Always live to trade another day. If you believe in winning big than quit trading and start gambling! But if you do that you will only ruin yourself.

3) Never ever trade emotionally. Stick to your plan and maintain your trading discipline. Always develop and make a trading plan before you take up trading. Set a reasonable risk/reward ratio for your trades. Never ever override yours stops for emotional reasons. Don't react to price action buying just because you think it is cheap or selling because you think the price is high now. Always use technical analysis to make your decisions.

4) Always remember you should plan each trade before actually entering it. You are not a punter. Always plan each trade. Don't punt. Punting is trading for the sake of trading without any planning or view.

5) Don't try to trade around round numbers. Don't leave stops at round numbers or obvious levels. If you do that chances are they will be triggered.

6) You are not a gambler. You are a trader. Don't use martingale strategies in trading. Don't double up just in order to recoup your losses. In other words, only do that if it is part of a trading strategy. Don't add to a losing position unless it is part of a plan to scale into a position.

7) When trading with a trend always use a trailing stop loss order. When trading against the trend be disciplined in taking profits and don't hold out for the last pip.

8) Avoid emotional highs or lows on individual trades. Consistency should be your target. Treat trading as a continuum. Don't base your success on one trade.

9) Try to trade multicurrency. This will hedge your risk. Always keep an idea on the crosses.

10) Don't trade just ahead of an economic news release. Always beware of volatility following the economic releases. Be cognizant of what news is coming out each day so that you never get surprised.

11) Stay away from illiquid times like holidays or pre-holidays when liquidity is thin. Beware of central bank intervention in illiquid markets. - 23199
