Forex Trading Archives

If you are just starting out in forex trading you will almost certainly want to begin with a forex demo account. These allow you to learn currency trading in a practical way before you risk any real money. They also give you the chance to test out various trading systems.

One thing that you will need before you begin trading for real is a profitable system, and you may have to test several before you find one that works for you. You do not have to search very far for systems. There are many available on the internet. They are often found in the form of an ebook which you can download.

Always check your system in two ways before you begin trading for real. First, backtest it. This means that you look up the past 6-12 months’ charts (or more) and calculate what your profit or loss would have been if you had been following the system during that time.

Backtests can be very revealing but of course past results are not a guarantee of future profits so even if the system performs well in backtests, you still need to carry out forward testing too.

So second, you will operate the system on the real time market in a forex demo account. You can begin to do this at the same time as the backtesting, but using the demonstration mode will take longer because you must wait for real time changes in the markets.

Most systems rely on trends, patterns and indicators that may not occur every day. So your opportunities for trading in real time may be limited. Still you have to check the markets each day to see whether your signals for opening a trade are there.

Forex day trading or scalping systems are a quicker way to trade. The aim here is to make a small profit on many short trades, often lasting only a few minutes. Day trading is generally considered riskier so it is probably not the best choice for a beginner, even though it is tempting to see quick results.

Whatever system you choose, be sure to run it in demonstration mode for several months and be making consistent profits that way before you switch to real trading. This requires patience, but patience is something you will need as a successful forex trader so this is a good way to develop it.

Most brokers will provide a free forex demo account and they are a great way to test your system and hone your trading skills risk free.

As you know, Forex trading CAN be profitable. However, the big problem is knowing WHEN any given market is ‘trending’.

That’s critical to your potential success because a trending market tends to keep going in the same direction.

And when you find a market that’s trending, you can jump on board and ride it for a potential profit, as many times as you like.

How To Instantly Determine When A Market Is Trending And In Your Favor… And When It Is Not

forex trading books available imageBeing successful with any forex currency trading system requires one thing: consistency. This means to understend how does the foreign currency exchange work, being able to keep to your system no matter what and apply its principles to every trade that you make.

Of course this assumes that you are starting out with a system that has a good chance of bringing you profits over the long term. The selection of a system is important too of course, but it is probably less important than having the ability to stick with a system after the decision is made.

Here is why being consistent works, and flitting from one thing to another does not work:

The fact is that no system, however sound, is going to make a profit on every trade. What’s more, it will have what you could call winning runs and losing runs … periods when everything or nothing seems to go right. If you have 70% profitable trades, the laws of statistics say that you will not have 7 winners in every 10. Sometimes you will have 5; sometimes you will have 9 or even 10.

Depending on the aims of your forex currency trading system, it is even statistically possible that you will have a run of 20 losing trades. And the temptation at that point is to switch systems. But this is what you absolutely must not do.

Think about it. If you drop out when you are down, and switch to a currency trading system that looks better (probably because it has just had a winning run) you will be always moving in at the high point, and pulling out at the low point. Losses are inevitable. You would never do that with an individual trade. So do not do it with systems.

If you are liable to be swept away by the distractions of the moment, you may be feeling a little down at this point. But do not worry. Even if you have always had a tendency to act on impulse, it is not a fixed part of your personality. Being consistent is a skill. It is something you can learn.

Practice with a demo account, by trading on paper and by starting small when you do start. You will find that as your confidence in your system increases, so does your ability to be consistent. Hold on to that confidence any time that you have doubts.

And while you learn, there is nothing wrong with having a little help. If you are not able to be consistent for yourself,  automated forex trading software can do it for you. Once you set it up, the software will apply your forex currency trading system in every detail every moment that it is active, no matter what happens. That is why they call it a robot!
