Currency Trading Systems - Articles And Recommendations
After many trials and errors I've come to the conclusion that simple is best, therefore I have reduced my trading into 3 categories: 1. Forex news trading - this means trading the volatility surrounding economic announcements such as NFP, GDP, CPI and others. For this I use software that relays the news as it is announced and can actually bang the sell or Buy buttons. Sometimes your order will not be filled so it is possible to enter on a retrace, based on the news direction. 2. My own Forex trading methods and strategies, these basically come down to 2 simple methods: 2.1. Buying support and selling resistance, based on ascertained pivot points, Fibonacci numbers and trend lines. 2.2. Aggressive scalps which involve executing short and sharp trades and keeping very tight stops. This requires some training, but once mastered it can be easy money . 3. Third party Forex Trading systems - there are numerous systems for sale and most of them are useless, written by Internet marketers for the sole reason of making money for the system vendor. These systems are a complete waste of time but the sales pitch is professional. I have found some that work well and add to my own trading techniques. Timing and time in Day Trading It is of utmost importance to understand the time that you choose to trade in and know what you potentially expect at that time of day. This is different from instrument to instrument, so it is important to understand market behavior for your trading vehicles. I regularly trade only 4 instruments; the DAX, Euro, Japanese Yen and the GBP/USD, and I am very familiar with their behavioral patterns in the trading day. Other instruments behave differently and I will only trade them (I do occasionally trade WTI, Nat Gas, and other currencies) after I've understood their time related behavior. Most of my trades bar the DAX and GBP/USD are figures related and of course, when figures are published a different volatility is in place which is normally out of the typical patterns. The best time to trade the DAX (German Index, and moves in tandem with the DOW chiefly) is near the London open at 08:00 (03:00 EST), as the open usually brings a large rush in orders and it's easier to scalp for sharp moves. From time to time the scalp will turn into a longer term trade, if a trend develops, however it is often possible to achieve a gain of 20 - 40 points in the first half hour of trading. As my daily target is 30 points and it is often hit within 30 minutes, I can then relax and look for absolutely perfect set ups that will not risk the profit. Some of my fellow traders will stop trading then and do something else. It certainly gives one plenty of time, but those 30 minutes require intense attention.
