My Experience With Forex Trading Made EZ

By Micheal Bates

As a beginner investor, I believed I could produce great market results. I started investing to try to make a little money. I wasnt prepared for what was in store for me.

Beginner's luck doesn't usually last, though, and I was no exception. I decided to learn more, so I explored online Forex training programs, specifically Forex Trading Made E Z.

After completing this course, my financial situation changed dramatically for the better. Without this course, I can only imagine in what tough money situation I would be in right now. There are many other graduates of the program that have expressed similar beliefs about the effect of the program.

This program is optimal for use by the new, beginning trader. It makes trading easy to understand and use. If you can apply yourself by participating in the class, watching all the videos, and reading the material, in just one week you will be ready to begin!

The other reason the Forex Trading Made E Z course was perfect for a beginner was that it is a low risk high reward system. Losing money on trades is a rarity with the system, and even the few losing trades were small and easy to overcome.

This is based on a market strategy called Forex Scalping. Forex Scalping allows you to get in and out of the market quickly and easily.

This is not 5 percent per year, but in one day! This method can easily double your account in less than one month.

Forex Trading Made E Z has changed my life forever. I get to be my own boss and make more money now than I could have possibly imagined. Review it for yourself and see if making money with low risk and high reward is something you want in your life. You'll be kicking yourself about another missed opportunity if you don't even take a chance to read a little about this life changing currency training program. - 23162

Trading The Breakout (Part I)

By Ahmad Hassam

When the currency price moves beyond the period of consolidation or range trading, a breakout typically occurs. Massive profits are what breakout trading can provide you. Who doesnt want to reap massive profits from a big price move in a short time?

Even though breakouts are known to be technically unstable, there are times when trading the breakout can be very profitable. When the price moves above or below a support or resistance level whether temporarily or permanently, a breakout occurs.

You will have to take into account many market factors including both the technical and the fundamental analysis in order to trade breakouts with a higher probability of success.

Information about volume is critical to trading the breakout. The volume information is easily available for stocks and futures as both are traded on a centralized exchange and at the end of the day the traders can find out the volume of each security that had been traded during the day.

However, volume data is not available for currency markets due to its Over the Counter nature. This data cannot be collected due to the decentralized nature of the currency markets. Volume reveals where the market is positioned or positioning. Lack of forex volume data is a huge disadvantage to forex traders.

Successful breakouts are generally accompanied by a rise in volume. Volume is a very important criterion for any breakout trading strategy. It signals a change in the underlying supply and demand conditions possibly triggered by a change in market sentiments caused by some new markets fundamentals when the price attempts a breakout of a significant support or resistance level.

Price breakouts can be of two types: 1) Continuation Breakouts and 2) Reversal Breakouts. Successful breakouts must be accompanied with a strong surge of momentum in the direction of the breakout in order to be sustainable. Poor momentum will generally lead to the fizzling out of the breakout and continuation of the existing trend.

Continuation Breakout: In a continuation breakout, currency prices break out of an established price level to again resume the underlying trend. The breakout occurs after a period of consolidation in which the buyers and sellers of the currency pair try to regroup and think about the next price move. The price action climbs higher in continuation of an uptrend or falls further lower in a downtrend.

Reversal Breakout: Sometimes a breakout my lead to a trend reversal and the beginning of a new trend in the opposite direction.

A false breakout may occur. The prices may break the support or resistance but then retreat back into the previous price zone. There are many times when the price action does not move in a straightforward direction in the markets.

Stopping out most of the breakout traders if they have placed their stops just above or below the resistance or support levels! The worst kind of a breakout is the whipsaw type. - 23162

High Probability Forex Trading Using Engulfing Patterns

By Tim Barnby

Few things are more satisfying to me that bare chart trading. Ive seen traders with so many indicators on their screen that I could not even see the price of the currency pair. What do any of these indicators tell you anyway? Do I need a MACD or a CCI? I can see which direction the trend is moving without them. How about a stochastic? I can see where candles are closing relative to the high or low. Other than some horizontal lines at key support and resistance levels, some Fibonacci retracements, and trend lines I often have nothing on my charts at all. All of these are topics for future articles.

A bullish engulfing pattern is characterized by having a real body which completely engulfs the real body of the preceding candle. A simpler way of describing this is that the bullish engulfing candle has a higher open and a lower close than the preceding candle. A bearish engulfing candle has a lower open and a higher close than the bar immediately preceding it.

The bullish and bearish engulfing patterns are powerful indicators of a trend reversal. Engulfing patterns must appear after a significant run up or down in price to be considered valid. When the engulfing pattern presents itself at a probable price reversal zone, or a confluence of support or resistance it is even more reliable. My experience has shown these patterns to be over 75% reliable, and normally offer at least a two to one reward to risk ratio when traded on the one hour or four hour charts. They are even more reliable on the daily and weekly charts.

There are a couple of valid methods for trading engulfing patterns. The first is pretty basic. You place a market order at the close of the candle. Your stop loss order goes a few pips past the opposite side of the engulfing candle, and the target goes somewhere at least twice the distance of the stop loss. Using this method, if the engulfing candle has a 50 pip range, your stop loss would be about 55 pips and your target would be about 110 pips away from your entry. The more advanced method involves pulling a Fibonacci retracement tool on the engulfing candle. Place your entry order at the 38.2%, 50% or 61.8% Fibonacci level of the candle, and place the stop loss in the same position as the first method. This method gives you a smaller stop loss, which offers you a much high per pip value, and a bigger target. It has a lower rate of successful fills, so youll have fewer trades using this entry method.

No matter what your method of entry is, you will profit from trading these powerful reversal indicators. Youll also save yourself the stress of conflicting technical indicators and cluttered screens. Trade this pattern for a week and see if I am wrong. - 23162

Money Management in Currency Trading (Part III)

By Ahmad Hassam

Live to trade another day is perhaps the best advice that you will receive in your trading career. Forex markets are brutal and unforgiving. You need to learn to survive in the markets.

The single most common factor that causes many traders to blow up their accounts is greed. When you get greedy, you start taking unnecessary risks. You will spend countless hours trying to discover the Holy Grail technical indictor or a forex robot that will make you rich. You believe that by discovering that secret of investing, you will become rich without losing a single trade.

Unfortunately there is no such Holy Grail for anyone. No one has ever found such a secret. You cannot always win. You will win and you will lose. Learn not to risk more than 2% of your account on one single trade. Grow your account incrementally and slowly over time. Never ever get into the temptation to risk big trying to make one single winning trade that can make you rich.

The most important thing that you should know is how much you are willing to risk in a single trade. This is more important than your trading strategy. I said dont risk more than 2% in a single trade. But if you are a risk taker and want to be aggressive, you can go up to 5%. Dont exceed 5%, stay between 1-5%. If you are risk averse and are conservative, on the other hand, you should consider risking between 1-2% only.

Once you have decided on the amount of risk you are willing to take, the rest is simple. Suppose you have a $50,000 account. You decide on a risk of 2% only. How much you can risk on a single trade? (50,000)(0.02)=$1,000. This is the maximum amount you should risk on a single trade.

However, if you are trading more than one position at the same time, the amount may become higher. Lets suppose, you are in 3 trades! You risk only $1,000 per trade. So the total money at risk will be (3) (1000) =$3,000. When you have determined your risk, you are can determine the trade size.

Trade size is the number of currency pair contracts you purchase in any one single trade. You need to first determine where you want to put your stop loss in order to determine the trade size. Lets use a simple example to make it clear and suppose you are willing to risk $1000 on trading EUR/USD pair. You decide on a stop loss of 50 pips. Each pip on EUR/USD pair is equal to $10, so the number of contracts that you can trade are 2= (1,000)/ (50) (10).

By calculating your trade size, you have taken the guesswork out of your trading once you have determined your risk level. You can sleep well now. You know how much of your money is at risk. You are going to be able to trade tomorrow. No matter what happens today.

Using these common money management rules will help you avoid the pitfall of losing almost all the money in your account. Learning to survive the markets and trade another day is the essence of trading. This can help your trading take the next level of profitability. - 23162
