Why It’s Important to Participate In Our Classes?

The easy part of forex trading is understanding what it is. The hard part is knowing how to do it well. To succeed in forex trading you need to find the elusive winning trading strategy. This is a strategic plan that determines how you buy and sell forex and it’s based on a set of tactical rules that you determine upfront.

Nailing down a trading strategy takes time and a lot of practice. You don’t want to practice with hard cash because that will cost you heavily. The best approach to get started as a beginner forex trader is to register online with a reputable forex trading college which offers a free demo account that lets you trade with virtual money while you are learning how to become a successful currency trader.

What Is A Trading Strategy?

A trading strategy is a plan of action you follow to reach your short- or long-term goals. It’s your battle plan that directs your trading movements; when to move forward and when to retreat. You need to predetermine a set of tactics that will be your modus operandi – the way you will operate – to achieve your trading objectives.

Every successful trader follows a strategic trading plan which helps to minimize his or her risks. In an unpredictable trading market, a solid trading strategy keeps you firmly on course. You can adjust your course slightly as trading conditions change but these tactical changes should be made within the construct of your trading strategy.

There are three forex trading strategies that have stood the test of time:

– Scalping Strategy

This trading strategy focuses on profiting off small price changes, usually after a trade is made and becomes profitable. A trader needs a strict exit strategy to safeguard the small gains made in a day.

– Candlestick Strategy

This trading strategy works by building patterns that predict the direction the price will go once a trade is completed. It requires robust technical charts that show data in multiple time frames that are condensed into single-price bars. A pattern emerges from traditional open-high and close-low trades that give you a clear picture of the movement of the currency trading market.

– Profit Trading System with Moving Average

This trading strategy uses the Exponential Moving Average (EMA) which responds quickly to price changes. It involves plotting 3 EMAs, buying when the 5-period EMA crosses from below the above 20-period EMA, selling when the same occurs and placing a stop-loss below the 20-period EMA or alternatively about 10 pips from the entry price.

Did some or all of the above sound confusing?

That’s just the tip of the trading iceberg; a small glimpse of the complexity of forex trading and its unique lingo. To come anywhere close to finding a successful trading strategy for yourself, you first need to acquire the knowledge and experience of a disciplined forex trader. This can only be learned through a comprehensive and interactive guide, and through hours of practice.
