[postlink]https://forex-tech21th.blogspot.com/2010/03/chart-analysis-eurusd.html[/postlink]I think I will give chart analysis from now on. Its easier to do and easier for you guys to get confused :). First up is EurUsd. Not very hard to trade actually once you know the direction.
Ok lets go to the confusing part. That is the charts.
There you go. Weekly chart for starters. Can any of you guess which way is EU going? From the looks of it, EU is really going down and its a fast one. Easy isn't it?
Next chart please. 1 chart isn't going to get anyone confused.
Next is the Daily chart. Guess what, daily is also pointing down but at the moment it is in oversold position. CCI is way down there and making a U turn. Expect correction at daily level. So far 2 charts says EU down with a correction coming.
Another chart. Anyone confused yet???
This is the hourly chart. We can see where the correction is. Its really climbing now. So before anyone get anymore confuse I would say wait for the hourly chart to point down then you sell. Plan for the worse hope for the best. Keep your money management tight and you may survive the storm.
Btw dont sell EU yet. That sell line is for me to mark S&R. If EU do go down next target is 1.30 and 1.25 based on S&R on weekly chart.
Now the question is, how long do we have to wait before selling EU. The answer is I dont know. Just wait and see. It is what Forex is. Anyone here still confused?? I do :)

CHART ANALYSIS - EURUSD
[postlink]https://forex-tech21th.blogspot.com/2010/03/its-not-pips-but-profit-in-forex.html[/postlink]You can actually tell if someone is new in Forex by the way they count their pips or profit. When people starts forex they count pips. They can have hundreds of pips a day and yet their profit is low. This is due to the low risk reward ratio they have taken.
Once you are older in Forex, you will see the ratio. No point of taking hundreds of pips when the profit is low. So you start to take high risk high return trade. These trades do not give you high pips but the profit margin is high.
That is how money is to be made in Forex. You actually manage your risk and take profit from it. For today as of now, I already taken 3 trades. 2 profit trades and 1 lost trade. My account grows 37%. Not bad for a slow Monday.
For the answer to Forex, once you know it you will feel helpless. No matter how smart or brilliant you are it counts for absolutely nothing here. I have Banking and IT qualification. Did that help me? 2 different qualification did not help me one bit here. Made me want to cry when I found it out.
Hunt pips but count profit. Good Luck

ITS NOT PIPS BUT PROFIT IN FOREX
[postlink]https://forex-tech21th.blogspot.com/2010/03/next-up-eurgbp.html[/postlink]EurGbp is going up so those of you who have the guts do buy EG at every dip refer to chart 1H or lower to view.
I got lots of email and calls asking me about the secret of forex and how to trade. What if I tell you the answer is not as u expected it to be. Some people even rejected the answer when I told them.
I dont blame them. When I found the answer I feel like Im going to cry. Its hard to accept something the logical mind cannot understand. In the mean time, take it slow and enjoy the ride.
People say seeing is believing. 2 post already TP. Another 1 more for weeks to come. Forgot to mention. Possible retrace at the price in the picture. So TP at will reentry on next low.

NEXT UP EURGBP
[postlink]https://forex-tech21th.blogspot.com/2010/03/eye-on-audusd.html[/postlink]AU manage to hold its level when both EU and GU fall down dramatically. Do look at the daily chart to see what I mean.
Some of your might not understand what it means and so do I :) Dont worry, the longer you are in Forex the more info you will filter out. This is coz some things are not worth understanding.
The reason I am pointing this out is when a pair is making a stand like AU, you can actually use it to your advantage. Advantages such as:
1. The next time AU decide to fall down there is a high probability the EU and GU will crash but there is a limit to everything.
2. The next time EU and GU start to climb, AU will fly.
Keep that in mind coz I do. I am waiting for the AU to fall or fly.

[postlink]https://forex-tech21th.blogspot.com/2010/03/lost-in-forex.html[/postlink]Have you ever been lost in Forex? Some of you might be thinking, how do i get lost in forex?? Let me ask another question. Have you ever open a trade in one direction, after some time open a trade in the opposite direction?
Im sure that happens to all of us, myself included :). That is lost in Forex, where we are unsure of direction of trade. Some people even hedge in the situation.
I have a few tips when you are lost in Forex.
1. If you are lost and dont know which direction to trade, the most important thing is to stop trading and do something else. Go plant a tree or play games. Dont even look at the charts anymore to avoid confusion.
2. Is to take a trading system and put it on multiple time frame. I trade using the same system on 3 timeframe. 15m, 1h, daily. When all three is pointing at the same direction then I trade. If 2 timeframe is pointing at the same direction then i scalp.
3. After sometime, your brain will start to imprint patterns of Forex. Forex has the same pattern over and over again. In our mind, that pattern has been imprinted and it influence our decision making subconsciously. Once you reach that state you will rarely get lost in Forex. You will know the exact time to trade or to get lost (do something else).
I will try to update this blog. Been so long and so busy with new place. As for Forex, USD pairs are going nowhere at the moment with a high probability to go down further. Good luck on your hunt for pips

LOST IN FOREX
[postlink]https://forex-tech21th.blogspot.com/2010/03/day-trading-forex-currency-5-tips-for.html[/postlink]Day trading forex currency is becoming a more and more popular way to make money. Forex is the foreign exchange market where trillions of dollars worth of currencies are exchanged worldwide every day. Money is made by exchanging one currency for another when you think that the values will change, and then exchanging them back at a profit if this was successful. Day trading systems involve opening and closing trades within the same day, although many day traders work on a much shorter timescale of just a few minutes.
Some people become involved in forex day trading because they only have a short time available to trade. One advantage of the forex markets is that they are open 24 hours Monday through Friday, so you can hold down a job and trade in the evenings. Other traders become successful enough to do this full time. The fast and furious atmosphere provides a big rush, and although it is risky, there is the potential to make a lot of money very fast.
Of course you cannot just jump in and make tons of money. You will need to know something about currency trading and have a profitable system that tells you when to open a trade, when to close it and how much profit to aim for.
Here are our top 5 tips to help you make the most from day trading foreign currency.
1. Choose your broker carefully.
Some brokers do not like day trading and will close your account if you make money this way. Others are fine with it. Check this out before you open an account to save yourself a lot of time and frustration.
2. Start with a demo account.
Most brokers will provide a free demo account and you should start implementing your system with this. This will help you get to know the trading platform thoroughly and understand how to the make the most of your system before you ever risk any real money.
3. Plan your trading time.
You cannot be sure of having a trading opportunity right when you want it so it is important to be prepared through all of your potential trading time. Arrange not to be interrupted and minimize distractions by switching off your email and phone. See what is happening in the market including major world news. Check whether any financial reports are due during your trading time. A report being released when you did not expect it can lead to disaster!
4. Improve your analytical skills.
The fast moving world of day trading almost always relies on quick and accurate interpretation of charts and financial data. You do not need to be a math genius because most of the calculations are done by the software. You just need to understand what you are seeing and make confident decisions based on the data.
5. Stay level headed.
All forex trading relies on maintaining calm judgment, without being swayed by our hopes and fears. The fast pace of day trading makes this even more important. You must be able to apply your system patiently and consistently without being carried away by greed or panic.
Remember that day trading is risky and money can be lost as well as made. Be sure you have your system tested and these tips fully mastered if you want to make big money by day trading forex currency.

Forex Online System Trading Software Can Make Your Investing Easy
[postlink]https://forex-tech21th.blogspot.com/2010/03/best-currency-traders-free-trading.html[/postlink]If you want to learn Forex, you should learn from the best currency traders and in this article, we will look at one such group which went on after just two weeks training, to make hundreds of millions of Dollars. Before we look at the trading strategy, let's look at the background to their education.
Richard Dennis was an experienced trader, who set out to prove that anyone could learn to trade quickly and make money, regardless of their sex, age or educational background. He got a group of people together which included - an actor, a security guard, a lady auditor, a kid fresh from high school and a professional card player, to name just a few of the group.
The training began and after two weeks, he had taught them the strategy they would use and they then went on to trade. The rest is history, as the clocked up gains of $200 million, in just 4 years. Now these traders learned quickly and were spectacularly successful so how did they do it? Dennis gave them a simple system and it's a fact that all the best trading systems are as they have fewer elements to break than complex ones; he also based it on sound logic which was following long term trends via breakouts which is a great way to trade.
The real key to success though, was giving them the right mindset which was to accept far more losses than profits but to have the discipline to keep losses small and have the courage to run the big trends.
Anyone can learn a simple system but getting the right mindset proves difficult for most traders - they simply cannot accept losses and run them and on the other hand they don't have the courage to run their profits and this leads to losses long term.
The good news is being disciplined is a choice and its a choice which any trader can make if they want too. If you understand this article you will now understand, why anyone has the potential to win but most traders fail

It's a timeless simple way to make money and I have written on the subject of breakouts frequently, so check out this method in more detail.
2. Forex Swing Trading
This requires less discipline than trend following making it ideal for novice traders and its based on the fact that all short term price spikes are caused by emotion pushing the price to far to fast, prices soon return to fair value and the swing trader hits overbought and oversold levels and trades into them.
Swing trading involves looking for a price spike up or down and isolating an area of support and resistance and then waiting for momentum to turn and the level to hold and then he enters his swing trading signal. The swing trader then enters his trading signal and takes his profit quickly; a typical swing trade lasts around 2 days to a week.
Keep Your Method Simple
Simple strategies work better than complex ones and trend lines and a few indicator, are all you need to win, make a strategy to complex and it will have to many elements to break. In Forex there is no way to beat the market with science so don't look for the hidden order of the market - there isn't one. In Forex you are trading the odds and if you trade them correctly, by running your profits and cutting your losses you can make big profits, in about 30 minutes a day - good luck!

Best Forex Strategies - 3 Proven Ways To Make Big Gains In Forex
[postlink]https://forex-tech21th.blogspot.com/2010/03/forex-trading-made-simple-how-to-make.html[/postlink]Forex trading can it be really made simple, when 95% of traders lose? The answer is yes because the people who lose don't understand what's required to win in terms of FX education and mindset and it's a fact, anyone can learn to win if they want to and this article will show you how.
Let me start with a story and its to do with a famous experiment conducted by Richard Dennis he believed that anyone could learn to trade with the right guidance and he proved his point by, teaching a group of novices to trade in just two weeks and the rest is history as they went on to make several hundred million dollars. Were these guys nerds or geeks? No, they were just ordinary people - a security guard a lady clerk and a kid fresh out of high school, to name just a few.
Now before we look at how they made money, lets look at what a huge group of novice traders do which is to trust their money to a cheap Forex robot. This group of losers, believe that by spending a hundred dollars or so and making no effort, they will become rich and they all lose. These systems cost so little because they don't make money and if they really did win, 95% traders wouldn't lose money.
Of course as in any profession, you need to make an effort and while some study is necessary for the amount of time you have to put into your trading, the rewards are enormous, as the students Richard Dennis taughtm showed in terms of their trading results. More good news is that the best Forex trading systems are simple not complex; if you make a system to complex it will have too many elements to break.
The system Dennis taught was a simple long term trend following strategy which was based on breakouts and it's easy to understand but quite hard to apply and the reason for this is it has far more losing trades than winners and it takes courage and discipline to cut losses and run profits.
Most traders can't take losses and let them run and over ride their trading signals and lose but if you can't follow your system with discipline, you don't have one. All the traders taught by Dennis said learning the system was far easier than applying it and this is true for most traders.
The reason 95% of traders always lose is really down to the wrong mindset but the good news is getting the right mindset is a choice and it's one you can make; if you combine the right mindset with a simple Forex trading strategy, you can make big profits.
Many people, try to make Forex trading much more complicated than it really is and hence the article title Forex trading made simple - it is! As you can see from this article, anyone has the potential to win at Forex and you don't need a college education to do so.

Forex Trading Made Simple - How To Make Triple Digit Gains In 30 Minutes A Day!
[postlink]https://forex-tech21th.blogspot.com/2010/03/online-fx-trading-3-critical-areas-of.html[/postlink]Back testing your trades is a critical component of the long term health of your system. However, if you're a Forex cowboy, no need to read any further. You're not into figuring out what went wrong last year, you just grab a super-duper new trading program and yell "Powder River, boys...let 'er buck!" Back testing isn't your game.
For you traders that really want to keep the process tuned up, back testing is a must. You can learn a lot from your performance ups and downs of previous years. Of course, the market dictates most of the activity, but your programming actions at crucial times could be the difference between a healthy account and a margin call.
Here's the best I can do for you on a definition of back testing. It's a method of simulation of your relevant past trading data in order to test it's effectiveness. Most technical strategies are static and unless they are re-programmed, will operate in the same manner going forward as they did in the past. Backtesting will show these tendencies and help you correct them. We all know that assuming that the same things that happened in the past will happen in the future, is a basis for trouble.
I believe that so much emphasis is placed on exotic theories that back testing is sometimes overlooked. Take some time to work on these back test areas, and you'll see a noticeable difference in your performance.
1) Entries and exits: This is probably the easiest area to back test. You can follow the previous market performance to see if you're jumping the gun or bailing out too early.
2) Leverage and cash management: Knowing when to use your margin to best advantage. It's easy to trace the times when you were over-leveraged at crucial opportunities and didn't have the cushion to make the most money. Your money model can be tested to see when you reach certain trigger points...and how your strategy worked.
3) Your trading psychology: This is sometimes the hardest pill to swallow. Back testing will show you your mental strengths and weaknesses. Do you let your emotions get out of hand? Are you too aggressive or too timid? Are you too easily influenced by what others think? As you back test, place a high priority on studying yourself, as well as your program.
When you back test your patterns, it's much easier to see areas of improvement that need to be undertaken. Without back testing, you're liable to develop a crisis of confidence in yourself and your system. When you start to lose confidence, you begin wholesale tinkering throughout your trading program. This is a bad mistake and will cause you to lose money. Back testing allows you to pinpoint areas of improvement, without throwing the baby out with the bathwater.
For you traders that really want to keep the process tuned up, back testing is a must. You can learn a lot from your performance ups and downs of previous years. Of course, the market dictates most of the activity, but your programming actions at crucial times could be the difference between a healthy account and a margin call.
Here's the best I can do for you on a definition of back testing. It's a method of simulation of your relevant past trading data in order to test it's effectiveness. Most technical strategies are static and unless they are re-programmed, will operate in the same manner going forward as they did in the past. Backtesting will show these tendencies and help you correct them. We all know that assuming that the same things that happened in the past will happen in the future, is a basis for trouble.
I believe that so much emphasis is placed on exotic theories that back testing is sometimes overlooked. Take some time to work on these back test areas, and you'll see a noticeable difference in your performance.
1) Entries and exits: This is probably the easiest area to back test. You can follow the previous market performance to see if you're jumping the gun or bailing out too early.
2) Leverage and cash management: Knowing when to use your margin to best advantage. It's easy to trace the times when you were over-leveraged at crucial opportunities and didn't have the cushion to make the most money. Your money model can be tested to see when you reach certain trigger points...and how your strategy worked.
3) Your trading psychology: This is sometimes the hardest pill to swallow. Back testing will show you your mental strengths and weaknesses. Do you let your emotions get out of hand? Are you too aggressive or too timid? Are you too easily influenced by what others think? As you back test, place a high priority on studying yourself, as well as your program.
When you back test your patterns, it's much easier to see areas of improvement that need to be undertaken. Without back testing, you're liable to develop a crisis of confidence in yourself and your system. When you start to lose confidence, you begin wholesale tinkering throughout your trading program. This is a bad mistake and will cause you to lose money. Back testing allows you to pinpoint areas of improvement, without throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

Forex Trading Tip - How To Make Big Triple Digit Profits In Less Time
[postlink]https://forex-tech21th.blogspot.com/2010/03/your-own-forex-mini-account-what-do-you.html[/postlink]There's no doubt that a forex mini account is one of the necessary tools you need to have in the currency trading business if you want to be able to leverage your success even more. There are plenty of things that you need to consider when it comes to trading and doing it all on your own manually can be a hard and tough thing to do. You need to remember that currency values are always fluctuating and before you know it, you might already find it hard to understand which ones are those that can really help you make your business stay on top and keep it stable.
With a forex mini account, you can easily compare and contrast different business values. You can also easily see if the spreads are rightfully arranged to your advantage and if the trade sizes as well as their corresponding pairs complement each other. You also need to deposit the right amount of values in the account so that you can be sure it is something that really fits what you need to accomplish. These days, there are many different ways in which you can obtain the best forex mini account for you. But the question that remains unanswered is which one is really the right fit for your business purpose. Here are some good tips you can use:
Decide whether you are going for a free or a paid account
There are two different ways to get a mini account and you can choose to either have something that is paid or something that is free. Although there might be some benefits in terms of financial investment, you might not be able to demand as much when you have chosen a free account. There might be technical limitations and requirements too (on your part, skill-wise) for you to make a free account work seamlessly.
Get to know the developers behind the account
It would always be best to consider getting an account from a trusted source. This way, you know that the person or group of people who have created the account really know the forex business. One of the things you needed to take note of is how involved the developers are when it comes to doing currency trading as well as their expertise in terms of creating technical databases. This is pretty easy to identify these days since most account developers already have their own website where you can check for updates.
Try to research as much accounts as you can
Create a list of all the mini trading accounts that you are considering or even just came across with. This can help you figure out which benefits you need versus the ones that you really can do without. You can also try to read up on blogs or review sites for the mini accounts that are tried and tested by other traders like you. You can also try joining or looking up in online forums for possible topics related to your forex mini account of interest.

Your Own Forex Mini Account – What Do You Really Need To Get One

The FOREX or Foreign Exchange market is not a “place”. Instead, it is the collective total of all currency traders around the world. Because currency is required to pay for goods and services anywhere in the world, travelers must be sure to have an ample supply of currency on-hand in order to function daily while abroad. Since most vendors in a country only accept the local currency, travelers are required in most cases to exchange the currency of their country for the currency of the country in which they are travelling. This forms the basis of the forex market.
The forex market is the biggest financial market in the world (trading the equivalent of around 2 trillion US dollars every day, way bigger than the stock market). The exciting thing about the Forex market is that there is no single central trading location. Foreign currency traders operate in the major financial centers around the globe. The Forex market runs over five days a week, 24 hours every day with all transactions occurring electronically across the globe at all hours.
Forex Trading Methods:
The spot market. Currencies are bought and sold in the spot market. The price of any given foreign currency depends upon many factors, but is essentially dependent upon supply and demand. Supply and demand are affected by political and economic conditions, interest rates, and speculation on future performance of a particular currency. An actual spot deal is a transaction in which one party hands over a specific amount of one currency, and in return receives a quantity of another currency at an exchange-rate value that both parties agree upon. The idea being that one party or another feels that the currency they are holding will be worth more in a future trade.
Spot trading is the most common form of forex trading, and is the focus of most articles discussing forex trading tactics. Larger entities will also deal in the forwards and futures markets as a way to hedge risks. Forwards and futures are trades that involve contracts with settlement dates… not actual currency.
For investors looking to delve into the world of forex trading, it would be wise to note that the spot market has matured on the back of modern technology. Trades are computerized which makes this a very fast-paced venture. Because of the pace and complexity of this market, the savvy forex traders all use some form of software to manage and maintain their transactions.
Forex Trading Tactics - The Basics Of Forex Trading

The preeminent forex broker for day traders (i.e., average Joes) is FXCM. As of June 2009, there is in excess of $600 million in customer funds trading on platforms offered by FXCM. Over 150,000 live accounts trade through trading platforms offered by FXCM from over 150 countries, with an average of 8,000,000 trades executed each month; moreover, customer support is provided in over a dozen languages.
FXCM has received numerous awards from the investment community, including Best Currency Broker from Shares, Best Retail Foreign Exchange Platform from FX Week and Best Foreign Exchange Specialist from Technical Analysis of Stocks & Commodities. In addition to currency trading, FXCM offers educational courses on forex trading, and provides research through DailyFX.com
There are dozens of other brokers, though, who service day traders. It's done almost exclusively online, and in fact ordinary citizens rarely got involved with forex trading at all until the computer boom of the 1980s, and then exponentially more with the advent of the Internet in the 1990s. Since then, forex brokers have proliferated.
As you might expect, levels of reliability and competence vary from one broker to another. The Internet is rife with unsavory types seeking to take advantage of suckers, so you would do well to investigate thoroughly any broker you're planning to use. Does their Web site look professional and reassuring, or is it riddled with dead links and spelling errors? Google the broker to see if they've been mentioned in news articles. Ask about their track record. And above all, avoid anyone who promises things that sound too good to be true, or who downplay the financial risk involved in forex trading.
Look for a broker that seems to genuinely want your business. Does the firm have customer service representatives available? Is there a phone number you can call to speak to a live person? The Web site should explain things clearly. If the site is full of language that seems designed to go over your head, look for a different broker. If you set up an account with an online forex broker, it will work like this. First, you must apply for an account, which most brokers allow you to do online. This is to verify your identity and the validity of your bank accounts and financial records. Some brokers also require you to download their forex trading software, while others let you use whatever software you prefer. You will also have to transfer a minimum deposit to your account with your new broker. The minimum can be anywhere from $100 to $2,500.
Ideally, the broker you choose should offer service and support when you need it but should mostly simply stay out of the way and let you conduct your business. If you can find a forex broker who is professional and helpful, your experience in the forex market should be full of smooth sailing

Forex Software System Trading To Make You Good Profit
[postlink]https://forex-tech21th.blogspot.com/2010/02/best-forex-strategy-to-maximize-profits.html[/postlink]People who have traded forex for a while will know that it can be very time consuming staring at charts, analysing trends and making trading decisions. It would be good to do automated forex system trading if you are looking to have a more hands free approach to trading. There are many softwares in the market right now and and there are three points to consider when you are choosing between the array of automated systems
The first point is to consider what kind of automated forex system you are more interested in. There are mainly two kinds of systems out there. The first is an automated signal system which produces a buy or sell signal for the currency trader to make their trading decisions. These signals are generated by the sophisticated artificial intelligence involved in the programming of such systems. When a predefined set of market conditions are met, a signal is produced. The second kind of system is one which adds on to the first, whereby the system will enter the orders for the trader automatically.
The second point is to check how much the currency trading software has been tested. Many systems in the market have very little or even no proof of live trading results. They only show short term results which might have been due to luck. These softwares might not be the best choice. You should look for those automated forex systems with at least a few, say three months, to a year of positive life trading results. It would also be better if these positive results were from many different accounts and currency pairs.
The third and last point is how user friendly is the system. The automated forex system you want to get should be easy to use even if you are a beginner. One should be able to start trading almost immediately and be able to navigate around the software. Not only so, it should have a good support system so that in times when you are lost, you will be able to get help fast. There is one such currency trading system which fulfils these points. It's called OmniForex and you can check out their website here if you're really interested in changing the way you profit with forex.
The first point is to consider what kind of automated forex system you are more interested in. There are mainly two kinds of systems out there. The first is an automated signal system which produces a buy or sell signal for the currency trader to make their trading decisions. These signals are generated by the sophisticated artificial intelligence involved in the programming of such systems. When a predefined set of market conditions are met, a signal is produced. The second kind of system is one which adds on to the first, whereby the system will enter the orders for the trader automatically.

How To Start Online Forex Trading
[postlink]https://forex-tech21th.blogspot.com/2010/02/forex-charting-software-3-essential.html[/postlink]Trading in forex is really tough and demanding. Although it is wise to start small and with the major currencies initially, there will come a time when you already have to explore other values too especially if you want to grow in this business. Doing it on your own and through manual means may be very disconcerting, not to mention tough. So one of the things you might want to look at is how you can use a forex charting software to help you accomplish this task.
So just what is a forex charting software? Think of it as an easy way of plotting out your current markets as well as helping you identify other niche markets which you are also yet to tap. It can get a little difficult and technical especially if you are not used to using software as a means of trading. However, with a little help from some of these tips you might just find an easy way of choosing the best forex charting software to fit your needs:
Get a trial version
If you are the type of person who understands things as you experience them then this trial version may just be perfect for you. Refrain from buying something, especially if it is a software if you do not feel confidently familiar with its features. You might just end up not able to maximize the benefits of your supposed investment. A trial version often last from ten to thirty days and in this span, it would already allow you to evaluate just how useful the software is for the kind of business you do. Although trial versions are often limited in capacity, it still gives you a great preview of what you can most likely expect with the product.
Ask around for recommendations
If you already have a network of fellow traders and even forex brokers, they may be good resource people to ask whether a particular forex charting software is worth trying or not. Aside from telling you the basic features of such software they would also be able to share with you some firsthand experience as they themselves tried these technical products. Participating in online forums is also one good way for you to understand the pros and cons of a certain forex software. Online forums are often accessible for free anyway and all you have to do is sign up and get your account approved by the moderators so you can start interacting actively within the threads.
Don't sweat the technical stuff
Get a forex broker if you plan to expand and you plan to do so but with the dilemma of "how to." Most forex brokers already come equipped with their very own charting software so you can actually end up hitting more birds with one stone. With a forex broker by your side, you can now get some hands-on experience yourself with the charting software plus some valuable trading know-hows which you might never get to read up on books or elsewhere.

How To Pick The Best Forex System Trading Software To Help You On The Trading
[postlink]https://forex-tech21th.blogspot.com/2010/02/forex-profits-how-you-can-cash-in-now.html[/postlink]Did you know that most traders are using a system that gives them an edge? If traders have an edge over the market, where are the forex profits they're dreaming about?
The statistic is that 90% of forex traders lose their trading account. Why? There's no reason that a trader with a decent trading method can't be cashing in some nice profits consistently. How?
It's not necessarily about entries and exits. It's not about a great deal of experience or a killer system. You can cash in but you don't need the holy grail of forex systems.
The holy grail is basically within you. Sounds kind of metaphysical but it's very simple. Like most everything else in life, it's all about your way of looking at trading.
I've coached a few friends and told them the most important thing they could do was build their confidence. You have to be confident going into a trade and managing the trade once in it. Forex profits come easy when you're not worried about the outcome.
That confidence comes from building on small successes. How do you get those small successes?
First you have to have a system you believe in. If you know that it's been back tested and it's successful, trade it on a demo platform for awhile until you really feel good about the method or system.
Wait until you can enter and exit smoothly and understand everything about the system. Have a plan before entering a trade and stick to it. Do not change a stop or profit point in the middle of a trade. Know before entry where you will take a profit and do it.
Forex profits await those with patience and discipline. You need patience to wait for what I call the “silver bullet” trade. By waiting for the best setups you'll be increasing your odds of a positive trade and building your confidence. Your confidence is more important than many other areas of trading.
Only risk no more than 1% on a trade. In this way you won't be stressed during the trade and it will be easier for you to hang in if the trade isn't going your way. You also won't be tempted to take profits early after hearing someone say “you can't go broke taking a profit”. More accounts have been lost because of that kind of thinking.
When I said that most forex traders have an edge with most any system, I was trying to downplay the importance of the method. Forex profits are there for anyone that will trade their system with discipline and follow the rules of that system.

Auto Forex System Trading Software – Learn How To Pick The Best One On The Market
[postlink]https://forex-tech21th.blogspot.com/2010/02/forex-commentary-predictions-commentary.html[/postlink]We're BACK! I pray everyone had a decent Holiday... This year should be a great trading year and we serves to be putting in more content, other trades, more educational tips + advice and other helpful items as the year goes on. Forex Commentary
This week's report will be a special edition with our annual commentary intertwined with our weekly commentary below.
S&P 500 / DOW / NASDAQ: As we look at the rise off the bottom from the lows of March 2009, a period of pullback/profit taking will be coming. There is no way that the equity market can fundamentally keep going higher without a healthy profit taking pullback. We find it quite amazing that the market has managed to rise even though the country has had all the turmoil in the economy that the U.S. has seen over the past 18 months or so - perhaps a buy the rumor and sell the news situation??? Perhaps all the sellers left and only buyers with itchy fingers and wads of cash in their pocket were left hanging around...who knows... time will tell - it always does.
We do think that we have seen the bottom in the overall Stock Market from the lows of March of 2009 and that the economy will improve from the misery that we saw in 2008 + 2009 and perhaps the market reacted to that, however the market cannot continue its huge move higher without a major pause or a bubble larger than the one that developed 10 years ago will be put in place - which will end badly for the bullish cause. Keep in mind that the DOW moved about 4000 points in about 9 months. Forex Commentary
With that being said, how would we handle this? On a short-term trading program - we would ride the Bull Train until the Bull shows us that he has no more horns left, however... we will take profits quicker than normal on our bullish plays and use relatively tighter stop losses. We wouldn't commit hugely to any long term bull trend setups. On a long term portfolio situation - we would start to move off any margin in our long term portfolios (starting now) and we would take profits on any "iffy" stocks or equity investments if we were in them. We then would seriously consider buying put options that would cover/help protect our total portfolio on any major weekly bearish signals/setups that showed up on the charts. If the weekly bearish setups start to form a solid bear setup on the monthly charts we would start going to cash (not to 100% cash but do some "healthy trimming down) with continued protection from put options (or the equivalent derivative trade). We aren't talking a total capitulation as we don't think 2010 will be a total bear year and we would not be shocked if we ended the year marginally higher but the RISK is there AND there is a decent chance that the market will pullback some time in the 1st qtr and linger all year on the bearish side of things
