FOREX TRADING 101 CONTD - forex news trading techniques

FOREX TRADING 101 CONTD ~ forex news trading techniques

in my last posting, I promised to provide answers to some questions. To do this, I will first make an attempt to provide an insight into the reasons why most traders, failed with live accounts. These reasons are: a) Lack of knowledge or understanding of the forex market: Majority of new traders jumped into forex trading without adequate knowledge of how the market works. And it well-known fact that people perish for lack of knowledge. Such traders jumped into forex trading without being equipped with adequate knowledge on how the market works and ended up being swallowed within an instant. If you don’t have enough knowledge on how the market work, never open a live account or only open micro accounts with less that 1o% of the amount you wish to trade with. b) Most new traders think forex market in an avenue to get-rich quickly:Most new traders including this author are attracted to forex because of the misinformation that forex trading is an avenue to make quick money and the ultimate solutions to your financial worries. In fact, I was actually attracted to forex by the information that I can make between 10-30% of my account within 24 hours. How wrong I was! I started trading with the mindset to double my accounts every month. To achieve my target, I overtraded by opening many positions at the same time and whenever the market is in my favour, the reward is usually mind boggling. However, whenever the market turn against me, the consequence are usually disastrous. Most times, after increasing my account by 60% over two weeks or three weeks period, I often ended up blowing such accounts within two to three hours when the tide turned against me. The lesson is you should aim at realistic returns on your investments and increase your returns over time as you acquire knowledge, experience and expertise. c) Under-capitalisation: Most new traders started trader with gross under-capitalisation and ended up being annihilated within seconds. Most people starting with ridiculous low amount of between $100-$500 and expect to turn it into millions within months. How ridiculous! In a market where $1.5 trillion dollars are traded on a daily basis, majority of the traders are small flies capable of being crushed in milliseconds. Forex is business and should be treated as such. My advice is if you don’t have enough capital to start trading, don’t ever dream of opening a live account. The fact that you don’t have capital should not discourage you. For a start you can build your trading capital over time while acquiring skills through demo trading. If you have less than $1,000, don’t ever dream of trading live. d) Lack of trading plan: Most new traders enter trade without adequate trading plan or no plan at all. Such trading is akin to crossing a twenty-lane highway with your eyes close. For such a pedestrian, death is a sure certainty. Plan your trade to the last detail before your entry. Your plan should include, entry point, expected profit and exit point and retreat strategy (stop loss) if things go against you. Stick to this plan because it is your only chance of survival in this high risk endeavour. e) It is not compulsory that you must enter any trade:Most new traders never want to miss any opportunity. No trade opportunity is compulsory as there are many more trade opportunities by the corner. f) Be very sure of the direction of the market before you enter a trade Most inexperienced traders believe that they can predict or anticipate the direction of the market end enter a trade with such erroneous belief. This is usually not the case. Most of them are often fooled by what sideways movements. For moving averages, look for sharp angles and an obvious degree of separation between the two lines to determine upward and downward trend. Once this separation is obvious and a few candles have opened higher than the previous (lower than the previous in the case of a downwards trend) the market has shown its true colors. At this point, you should be looking to pull the trigger. g) Profit should never be your main motive principle Most new and inexperienced traders go into trading thinking that they could begin to make profit instantly. The fact of the matter is that most businesses do not begin to make profit until their fifth anniversary. Furthermore, most financial investments would be rated 1st class if they are able to return between 10-20% annually. In spite of these obvious facts, most traders think they can achieve a return of between 30-100% on a monthly basis. In other to achieve their unrealistic target they gamble away money and ended up being losers. The forex graveyard is full of greedy traders. Please don’t be part of the casuality. Your profit target should be realistic. If you are able to achieve a return of between 2-5% on a monthly basis, you would have outperformed most blue chips investment outfits in the world. As a new trader, fund preservation should be your number first priority and profit distance second. Once you acquire experience, making profit will come naturally. h) Cut your losses and live to fight another day Most new traders hate losing money by closing loosing trades. They often leave such with the expectation that the market will turn around in their favour. The resultant effect is that 40 pips ended ground to 100, 200, 200 and perhaps 1000 pips. The main message is cut your losses and live to fight another day! i) Psychological deficiencies Majority of new traders are psychologically deficient to handle trading live trading. Their trading is guided by inadequate knowledge, greed, desires to get rich quickly amongst others which are perfect recipes for disaster. As a new trader, make your trading as mechanical as possible because you definitely lack the psychological control to handle live trading. Live trading is high pressure game and is not meant for the inexperience and faint-hearted. In my next post I will address how to be a successful trade. Happy reading!

500 Pips Trade set up - forex trading latest news

500 Pips Trade set up ~ forex trading latest news

Welcome to a new trading year - 2011. What I will be discussing this year is taking our trade to higher levels. Looking for those highly profitable set up for the major pairs. This first posting will be on the GBPUSD. The principle are simple as follows:

1. We rely of the weekly chart for the overall direction
2. The daily chart determines whether to buy or sell
3. H4 or M15 for excellent entry.

Based on the above analysis, here is the set up for a potential 500+ pips trade based on Head & Shoulder on the weekly .

a) The weekly trend is up
b) The daily RSI is getting close to 70 RSI and currently withing a possible left shoulder of Head & Shoulder on the weekly chart.
c) It took about 21 days from when the signal was given on the daily and roughly 750 pips so far.
d) The yellow area is where we are watching now. A daily open and close above 1.61140 area will invalidate our head & shoulder set-up. If this happens a second kiss of 1.63000 is possible to give us double top.

Until this happens our H&S is still valid. Furthermore the daily RSI is currently kissing 70 point mark. This means the cable is getting ripe for short. However, we need to see where the daily candle closes today.

If you are ready for a 500-pips or more trade, you can begin to short between 1.610000 - 1.630000 or the first reversal candle (bear candle on the daily). Everything is in the chart!

Enjoy your trading!

Trading Strategy Explained - forex trading on news

Trading Strategy Explained ~ forex trading on news

Let me use this opportunity to explain and make some clarifications in respect of following aspects of my trading strategy.

a) Candle trades
b) Monthly chart
c) Weekly chart
d) Daily Chart
e) 4-Hour chart



Candle trades:

For the candle trades I use weekly and monthly candles and I have a micro account with Alpari which I use for these trades, because I am still experimenting. However, whenever a unique opportunity present and it aligns with my trade set in the charts, I replicate such trades on my main account. For the candle trades, I dont use RSI. I simply follow the candle, if the candle is bearish, I will go short and if the candle is bullish, I will go long. If you want to try this, open a separate micro account or even try it on a demo account over a period of time to properly understand it.





Long Term trades:



For long term trade, I follow the daily, weekly and monthly charts using RSI as a guide. The signals on these period are usually few, but of the best quality.



Monthly RSI gave a buy signal in March 2009 and over the next 4 months, price rose by about 3000 pips. The next signal was given in June 2010 and yield about 1800 pip. Using the monthly RSI, there is no signal to sell yet.



Weekly RSI gave six signals on the chart 3 buy and 3 sell as shown on the chart.



Daily RSI gave three signals so far, 1 buy and 2 sell as shown on the chart.



I attach herewith a daily, weekly and monthly charts for GBPUSD to illustrate the points. The place where the signals are given highlighted in blue boxes.



How do you interprete all these based on where we are today for your long term trade?



Monthly: The buy signal was given in June, if you miss it wait for another signal. Most importantly, dont trade in the middle of channel. You can get your trades on other timeframe.



Weekly: The weekly gave a buy in May and sell signal in August indicated by the spots highlighted. Price is currently on 50 points. Wait for another signal if you want to trade weekly long term.



Daily: The daily gave the sell signal in between August 2-4 and has currently cross the 50 point mark down. The next signal you should watch out for is buy. If you miss the signal in August, wait for the next one.



For a trader who missed all these signal for medium term, trade, what does he do?



If you miss all this signals, the next option is to trade intra-day using H4. The horizontal line on the RSI is your guide.



For a trader who misses all of these signals, what does he do?



The best option is to stay out on the sideline and wait for the next signal, because that is the only way to be a successful trader.



I took time to clearly enumerate the steps to show that is important for a trader to be methodical in his approach. If a set-up is not right, ignore such trades. To give you more trading opportunities, you can monitor between 2-4 majors and only trade the one that presents the best opportunity at any point in time.



Happy trading!

The intervention by the Japenese Government was an extra-ordinary event. However, if your look closely at the two H4 charts below for GBBJPY and USDJPY you will clearly see that the H4 was on a bullish move, when the intervention occurred. H4 clearly explose the move so also the current retrace. USDJPY was even more exact to the point at the point of intervention and the retrace.

One more Millionaire ~ forex factory trading the news

A note for a new Millionaire Greater Fool Blog Dog. His P & L

If this shit keeps up No one to shine my shoes.

Smokey, my man.  I took the advice you were dispensing for free on GF and your own blog back in March.  I opened a $100k demo AvaTrade account.  At first, I had no f---in clue what exactly I was doing...trading all sorts of pairs....JUST TO LEARN THE SYSTEM.  Then I decided to only ever trade USDCAD.  I spent exactly 3 months learning....practicing like crazy...up til 4 or 5 am every night, then off to the tax farm at 9:30am.  Wife hated me, and you, and this "game" I was playing.  She thought of it like a video game or something.  Funny how wives can say the darndest things, eh? I also kept reading your comments on GF and your blog.  Took your batman, camel toe advice and applied it.  Worked out pretty well.  Have a look at the screen shot I sent.  I had some scary moments, but some thrilling ones too, netted $440k on the December Fed hike alone.  I really hit my stride when I predicted the July BoC hike, though...caught most people by surprise, that one.  But then again, most people are part of the herd.  I keep thinking to myself "this shits not so hard....just be on the right side of the trade, thats all."  

Now dont get me wrong....Ive been a keen economic observer and avid reader of economic and financial news., and geopolitics for about 13 to 14 years...so Im not a novice in that realm.  But I never really had a outlet in which I could apply the knowledge and insights I was coming up with to make money.  Until I read your comments about currency trading.

Can I make it my day job?  Dont know....part of me says I need to start doing technical trading to do it for a living, part of me says its not actually a thing you can make consistent money on. Plus, technical trading can mess with your head and mess with your flow.  Its better to be an ignorant Neanderthal whos a natural with the ladies than to get a dating coach and get bogged down focusing on posture, eye contact, voice tone, colour coordination of belt and shoes, what she meant when she said xyz, and other technicals.  Thats the difference between understanding overall trends and economic fundamentals vs. focusing on technicals.

So instead of daily technical trading, Ill go for a once-in-a-while big bang approach when a currency gyration is subtly telegraphed in advance to those who have the experience and ability to analyze the economic painting being drawn by the machine.

Thanks so much Smokey, youve changed my familys life.  My wife even likes you now, believe it or not.  But she still hates that she has nobody to stuff her feet against in the bed when they feel cold at 2:30am. 

p.s. Ive been reading your shit on GF since like 2010.  Keep it up.

__________________________________________________________________________

Forgot to mention....I spent 3 months learning on the Demo account and then opened a live Ava Trade account in June....gave me ~3-4 weeks to prep for the July BoC decision.

I havent withdrew any of the funds yet....is there anything I should know about withdrawing from an Ava account?  Any hiccups or restrictions they impose, or difficulties they put you through??

Thanks again dude.  If I ever see you, or someone who looks like what I think you look like, at Seneca, free cigar on me.

Forex Trade Strategy - forex trading apprentice ea

Forex Trade Strategy ~ forex trading apprentice ea

Forex Trade Strategy

A forex trade strategy is different depending on the broker, state of the market, time you plan on investing and even the currency you are trading. Strategies are dependent on the conditions surrounding the situation. A person trading without a broker in GBP/USD will have a different strategy than a person trading with a broker in USD/JPY. A simple search on any search engine will yield thousands of forex trade strategy templates, articles and advice. There is no way to gauge which single trade strategy is better than another because the market is vast and has many variables that impact the forex trade strategy.

Therefore, it is recommended that a demo account be opened with a broker firm that offers free accounts without asking for bank and credit card information. Secondly, a good tip is to spend time reading information on currency value and national indicators from verifiable resources, like Bloomberg, Reuters or Hoover’s. Third, spend time researching the different buy/sell strategies that other brokers and traders are initiating. Find one that fits your needs and level of experience.

Over here, its been a while because i have been managing multiple clients under my OANDA FXmanager account.

I would like to share a simple strategy about my 5pipsStrategy.

• Do not trade during Monday and Friday !!!

 Why this is important? Think about it yourself. Over my countless experience of trading, Monday and Friday normally are trend that you cant predict properly because of MORE uncertainties.

One constantly advocated mindset is that we want to trade at the least uncertain opportunity!!

Hope this advice will serve you all traders well.

Cheers.

TIME TO TRADE - reuters news forex trading

TIME TO TRADE ~ reuters news forex trading

To determine what to trade is a matter of choice. I chose to trade mostly GBPUSD and GBPJPY because where my time zone is 1 hour ahead of GMT and the two currencies moves well on most days in terms of number of pips. Most experience traders advocate starting with one pair and adding others as you gather experience. This is very true. However, the rules of the charts apply to any pair. To determine when to trade, you need to understand trading times in various market. For example GBB pairs move best when London session is open, JPY pairs move best during the Asian session and USD pairs move most during US session.

Forex trading day begins at 6:00 PM Eastern U.S. When it is 5:00 PM on Sunday in New York, it is Monday morning in places like Australia and New Zealand. Overall, volume is low at this time of day because the three biggest Forex volume centers – Great Britain, the United States and Japan – are mostly inactive at this time. However, the Australian dollar and the New Zealand dollar (also known as the “Kiwi”) may see some price activity during these hours.

A few hours later, around 7:00 PM Eastern U.S. time, Japan awakens and the Forex markets begin to stir. Japan is the third largest Forex trading center, and comprises about 10% of all Forex trading volume, as many major banks have offices in Tokyo. The Japanese Yen is particularly active at this time, especially vs. the Euro, the U.S. dollar, and the Great Britain pound. Most of the volume occurs during the early part of the Japanese session, and the liquidity lessens considerably as the trading day continues.

As the Japanese trading day winds down around 3:00 AM Eastern U.S. time, European markets open for business, and the London trading day begins soon afterward. Great Britain is by far the most important and influential Forex trading market in the world. The dealing desks for many of the world’s major banks are run from London, and the market is responsible for roughly 30% of all spot forex volume. London tends to be the most orderly forex market due to its tremendous liquidity.

About midway through the London trading session, U.S. Forex traders come to life. New York is the second most important market in Forex trading. New York trading is very liquid and accounts for about 20% of the world’s total forex volume. Trading is especially active early in the New York session, as the London session is still ongoing. U.S. Economic news releases often occur early in the New York session, and can cause a tremendous amount of volatility.

Trading often becomes choppy after midday in New York as the London market winds down, and liquidity and volatility begin to dissipate. By mid to late afternoon New York time, London traders have gone home for the day, and it is late at night in Japan. New York traders, while still active at this time of day, have already finished with the bulk of their trading. Friday afternoons in the U.S. are generally the least active, because for much of the trading world, it is already Saturday. Finally, as the U.S. markets close, a new trading day is just about to begin in the western Pacific, as the Australian and New Zealand markets begin to stir, starting the process once again. The cycle continues all week, with most dealing desks closed from Friday afternoon until Sunday afternoon, when trading resumes.


Once you have an understanding of this cycle, it will assist you in planning your trades and only trade during the most effective periods.
