How To Determine The Best Forex Trading Strategy ~ vsd forex trading system indicator

Learning Forex trading is not a simple task, but in no way it is difficult either. Forex trading is all about regulation, willpower and determination. Leveraging your strength could be extravagant by organizing the apt Forex trading strategy. You may find hundreds and thousands of Forex trading strategies out there. Logic would tell us that there is a foreign currency strategy out there which leverages our strengths. All forex trading strategies use a variety of indicators and combinations. These indicators and studies are just calculating support and resistance and trend in the Forex trading market.

Fundamental Analysis: It is the forex trading strategy used to forecast long-term trends using indicators of currency values that are given at different times. The disclosure of news makes the market unpredictable; hence the traders should have a close watch on the comments of meetings and reports.

Some traders will merely back test historical data, and then run the system to test on simulated data. If they find that the system could generate good results based on the system parameters, they then adopt the system for actual use in real trading instead of a paper trade.

Take the time to actually understand the forex trading strategy. Study the components independently so a deeper understanding of the strategic mechanisms would be mastered. If you recognize the components, internalize its use, and make consistent profits into your forex trading account, then you have your own Forex trading strategy. It does not really matter what the professionals say, your account balance is the final judge and judges for your Forex trading strategy.

A forex trading strategy cannot be learnt and perfected overnight and it is for this reason that you are advised to try any forex trading strategy with a demo account and if you get the hang of it and feel you can make it in the real world of Forex, and then you can proceed to actual trading.

Shorting the VIX calendar spread - best forex trading strategy system

Shorting the VIX calendar spread ~ best forex trading strategy system

Lately there were a few interesting discussions in the blogosphere on the profitability of shorting the VXX-VXZ spread. (See Quantum Blog and The Speculators Ball.) For background, VXX is an ETN that tracks the first and second month of the VIX future, which in turn tracks the VIX volatility index, which in turn tracks the volatility of SPX. VXZ is the ETN that tracks the 4th - 7th months of the VIX future. During the period 2009-2010, there were 2 different reasons why shorting this "calendar spread" was profitable:

1) The VIX futures were/are in contango: i.e. the back months futures are more expensive than the front months.
2) The volatility of SPX was decreasing with time.

However, some traders seem to think that either one of these conditions is enough to ensure the profitability of shorting a calendar spread.  It is not. (Otherwise, life as a futures trader would be too easy!)

To see this, lets resort to a simplistic linear approximation to a model of futures prices. From John Hulls book on derivatives, section 3.12, the price of  a future which matures at time T is

F(t, T)=E(ST)exp(c(T-t)),

where E(ST) is the expected value of the spot price at maturity, c is a constant, and t is the current time. If the futures are in contango, then c > 0.

If we assume that abs(c) is small, and T-t is also small (i.e. not too far from maturity), and that the expected value of the spot price changes slowly, we can linearize this formula as

F=(a+b(T-t))*(1+c(T-t))

If the market expects the future spot price to increase, then b > 0.

After a few simple algebraic steps, you can verify that the calendar spreads price is proportional to

F(t, T1)-F(t, T2) ~ bct

where T1 < T2 (i.e. F(t, T1) is the front months price, and F(t, T2) the back months).

This is a satisfyingly illustrative result. It says that shorting this calendar spread will be profitable if

A) futures are in contango and the expected spot price in the future is decreasing; or else
B) futures are in backwardation and the expected spot price in the future is increasing.

So what is the situation today? Will it still be profitable to short this spread? As our fellow bloggers have pointed out, VIX futures are still in contango, but the market is expecting volatility to increase in the future over the last month or so. So this may no longer be a profitable trade anymore.

Understanding The Advantages Of Forex Trading - icwr forex trading system

Understanding The Advantages Of Forex Trading ~ icwr forex trading system

By Richard M. Davieess

Why trade in FOREX? Because FOREX trading offers unrivaled advantages no matter what the prevailing market conditions or stage of the business cycle. No other market can match the cash/spot FOREX markets unique character. When you are trading on the FOREX you have going for you an unmatched set of conditions that contribute to your success.

The FOREX runs 24 hours a day, five days a week. Think of it: the market is never closed during that time! Thus a FOREX trader can make a move at the most advantageous time possible. No waiting for the New York Stock Exchange or NASDAQ to open.

A trader in FOREX can make any move they need to, into or out of the market, in all types of market conditions because the FOREX is the worlds most liquid market. Trading is non-stop, with minimal execution barriers or risk and with no limit on daily trading.

The FOREX market has a high leverage ratio. Although there is always the possibility to lose, with a leverage ratio of four hundred, there is also a huge potential to make enormous profits. Compare that with a leverage ratio of two in the equity markets.

The costs per transaction are very low. The retail transaction price is actually lower than 0.1% under typical conditions. Thats just one tenth of one percent. At larger dealers, the spread may be below five pips, and may expand by a large amount when the market is moving quickly.

The FOREX market is always a good market. To state it simply, a FOREX market trade involves trading one currency for another. The outlook of a currency defines whether there will be a bull market or a bear one. A bull market means the outlook is good, and the investor will make gains by buying that currency against others. A bear market, on the other hand, means the outlook on a particular currency is not good, but the investor can still benefit by selling short with the hope of buying the currency back at a lower price.

The FOREX market is an inter-bank market. The FOREX market is a global one, consisting of a world wide network of dealers who communicate with their customers electronically or by phone. Unlike the equity markets which has the New York Stock Exchange, there is no central location for the FOREX market.

Given the large, decentralized nature of the FOREX, no one institution, not even a national bank, much less a single trader, can corner the market or control market prices for an inordinate length of time.

The FOREX market is not directly regulated. Although considered an unregulated market, the operations of commercial banks and other major players must still follow the banking laws set forth by government regulators. This helps keep things fair for all investors.

It is important to understand that protections for investors still exist in the marketplace. With its high profit potential, flexibility, convenience, and reliability in all market conditions, the FOREX market is an excellent choice for the average trader. Its openness and diversity allows for a greater potential for profit than many of the other types of markets.

Controlling Your Forex Investment - jason sweezey forex trading system

Controlling Your Forex Investment ~ jason sweezey forex trading system

By Bob Sparrow

Even though investing can be fun and exhilarating the young investor must understand that there are some very basic rules that need to be followed. Making money can be extremely fun, but loosing money can sometimes set you back in life several years, not allowing you to be able to invest any more. Lets take a look at one simple aspect that many people forget while investing; Control

This is something that I learned later on in my investing career. When I first started I didnt care who was in control I just wanted my money out there in an investment earning more interest then the bank was paying. I thought that the returns would stay high as the previous years, and that the moment things changed my broker would call me and suggest changing markets. I was nave to think that other people would care for my money the same way that I would. This was a painful lesson.

I can still hear my father saying, "Bob, no one will care for your money like you will". At first I was a little bit confused. I thought surely my broker and banker wanted me to make money, and they do. Just remember that they want, and need to make money as well. This is their first priority and there is nothing wrong with that. You just need to keep control and determine your own destiny.

Remember there is only one person that is ultimately responsible for your money and that is you! Brokers are there to guide us and give us tips, but we have to take in that information and then make an educated decision concerning our investing. My first investments were way out of control. If someone were to ask me why I invested in that trade I had no answer! "Because it looked good" I would say! I was on a path to disaster!

When we work side by side with our brokers we will make a lot of money. When we educate ourselves and ask educated questions to our brokers. When we can sit down at night and say, "I invested in that trade because I think it will make money because.", and then list several reasons! This is having control, and this will ensure a very rich future and a life worth dreaming about.

Lets think about control over money like this. Have you ever loaned your car to someone? Did they take care of it like you would have liked them to? Probably not! You tell them to put a certain kind of gas in it and they forget before they get around the corner. You almost cringe as you know that your car is not in good hands. Well, it can be the same way with money! Except that money when it is damaged or lost can hurt a whole lot more!

I believe that if you take the time to educate yourself in the area that you are investing in then you can be successful. There are many people that are investing successfully in many different types of investments. But these are normally the ones that take care of their money well.

When trading in the Forex market you can keep 100% control of your money. Even when trading online through a trading platform you make all of the decisions. You set your own stop losses and can determine how much you are willing to loose. Most trading platforms have a live person to help walk you through your trades if you need them. This is most definitely in favor to you making more money. When you can combine their help with your decision making you can be very profitable.

If you have ever considered learning more about investing in the Forex market and would like to learn more, check out the links in the bio box below. There you will find many articles to help educate you to be a successful investor. There is even a free e book to download about Forex Trading!

As I said in my CNBC interview, investors just got to be patient with the factor models. Sure enough, we are seeing reports that the large drawdown suffered by these models has already reverted as of Friday.

EURO JPY 300 PIP RALLY IN A FEW DAYS - forex power trading system

EURO JPY 300 PIP RALLY IN A FEW DAYS ~ forex power trading system

The EURO JPY looks to be about to form the Support boundary of a very large Pennant on the Daily Chart. After ending a very long Uptrend and breaking the Inner Uptrend Line, it has been gradually moving sideways towards the Outer Uptrend Line. We also see what appears to be the start of a Double Bottom formation. If there is a bullish move that breaks the current Downtrend Line, then a rally to the Resistance of this Pennant could take place towards the end of this month.

The chart below shows the Inner and Uptrend Lines of the major Uptrend. The end of long trends usually leads to the break of the Inner Trend Line and a gradual drift towards the Outer Trend Line.


DAILY CHART

From here, the currency could continue to move sideways until it breaks the Outer Uptrend Line to start a Downtrend or rally to continue the main Uptrend. As it moves sideways to reflect the low trading activity across the Forex market, it could rally in the short-term to complete the formation of a large Pennant. The Resistance has already been formed and is now ´awaiting` the 2nd Support price point.

DAILY CHART

This rally could start with a break of the Downtrend Line that would also complete a pair of Double Bottoms. This would be enough of a signal to justify trading long towards Resistance, a little less than 300 Pips away.

If these Double Bottoms are formed with a strong Bull Candle to break the Downtrend Line, entry can take place either immediately or with a follow-up signal on the 4 Hour Chart. This, of course, will depend on the patterns we see on both time frames relative to the rules established for trading these setups.

DO YOU GET NERVOUS WHEN TRADING - forex manual trading system

DO YOU GET NERVOUS WHEN TRADING ~ forex manual trading system

If so, my advice is to ensure you have a Trading Plan Trade Sheet.

I used to be nervous too especially trading smaller time frames. These move very quickly and the minute you enter a trade, there is a possibility to lose very quickly - not a nice feeling. You get a lot of unnecessary tension and nerves. This is one of the many reasons I and others switched to the larger time frames and Swing Trading.

Nevertheless, whatever time frame you use, get a Trade Sheet that has rules and checklists to justify each trade. I found that whenever I traded without this, I would be unsure if I had taken everything into account before clicking that button. This uncertainty creates anxiety and fear.

If you have a Trade Sheet that you know will provide you with a good trade 80-90% of the time, you will be more confident. It gives you a visual confirmation that you are making the right decision and that everything has been accounted for.

These are examples of the Trade Sheets checklist & Guidelines used for each of the 5 Swing Trading Strategies that we use..

These guide us through all steps involved in the trade - from analysis to the closing of the trading platform as well as while the trade is in motion. 

If you use something like this during your Demo Account phase and the results are good, then just use it on the Live Account and the nerves will fade away. They will be replaced by celebration winning trades.
