Forex Trading Strategies

The current economic climate is leaving many people uneasy about Share Trading, one only has to observe the charts and listen to reports of companies in trouble, to realise just how unpredictable the Share market is. Yes there is still profits in it, and with many stocks available at relative bargain prices, there is plenty of chance to make good long term profits.

With the deregulation of the Foreign Currency Markets or Forex in the 1990s, increasing numbers of people are exploring this as an alternative source or income. There are many ways to trade Forex, Day Trading or swing trading, the list goes on, but there is one thing they all offer the unwary, a high level of risk if you start trading thinking it’s easy.

There are two core analysis techniques; Fundamental Analysis, basing trading decisions on news events and Technical Analysis, which involves interpreting the charts using a variety of indicators. This is how I like to trade as I am not reliant on news feeds. It doesn’t matter which you choose, to minimize potential losses, you are going to have to learn Forex trading before you start committing any hard earned cash.

A good starting introduction to the basics is offered by Babypips.com, it’s free and you will get to know some important terms, but they do not teach into how to develop Forex trading strategies.

What is a Forex trading strategy? Simply put, it is a system for setting money management rules, analysing the progression of a chart, establishing a possible trade entry point (Setup), confirming the entry point, opening a trade, establishing an exist strategy to both minimise losses and to take profits.

A trading strategy is of the utmost importance when Forex trading, it establishes and guides your every move when formulating, entering and exiting a trade, and without it, you will find it very difficult to work out why things work and why they fail.

When you begin trading, a trading strategy provides the system for trading your Demo account. These are provided by most brokers and allow you to get your feet wet, without risking real money. You give yourself an account balance and trade it real time testing your trading strategy and watch your account either grow or vanish. You’ll soon see if the strategy you are testing stacks up!

To learn how to develop a a specific trading strategy for profiting from market rebounds, there is a free video course which will teach you a trade called the “Rubber Band Trade” and shows you what is involved in developing a trading strategy.

It’s a very profitable trading strategy developed by a Professional Trader and covers the technical analysis for all stages of this specific trade. Once you have watched this strategy on a Demo account and made it work consistently, you can make it work on a real account and start catching some profitable pips whilst you develop and test other trading strategies that will make your Forex trading a success.

I regularly use this trading strategy and still trade it when the charts set up correctly. A quick 20-30 pips? Why would you miss the chance?
