Forex Trading : Forex Boredom
2007-11-23 09:18:42
Watching and waiting is a position. If the thought of this is boring, you may not be cut out to become a successful forex trader.A lot of people ask me “how many hours do you trade the forex?” and my answer is that I generally trade every trading day from the start of the London Open until the end of the New York session and occasionally beyond.At the weekend I usually carry out various forex studies and I read various publications from other prominent traders.I do think that it is important to explain that although I am trading for a lot of hours, this does not mean that I am in an active trade for all of that time, in fact I am on average in an active trade for very little of that time.Many new and inexperienced traders seem to have the idea that trading is about placing trades, and

Deadly Forex Trading Mistakes That Assure Failure
2007-11-10 00:34:26
Before venturing into your forex trading journey there are some things you need to be aware of, otherwise you could succeed on your trading adventure, and we don't want that to happen, do we? This Forex trading guide will help you track the most costly mistakes Forex traders do. First of all, make sure you don't have a trading system. Having a trading system might increase the odds of your success. If you have a system, you will have an objective way to get in and out the market. When traders create their trading systems they think objectively since there is no position to be taken at the moment. If there is no position to be taken, there is also no money at risk, if there is no money at risk, we do think objectively and are open to every possibility, thus we are able to find low risk trad

2007-11-10 00:21:29
Stochastics are amongst the most popular technical indicators when it comes to Forex Trading . Unfortunately most traders use them incorrectly. In this article we will review the correct way to use this popular technical indicator.George Lane developed this indicator in the late 1950s. Stochastics measure the current close relative to the range (high/low) over a set of periods.Stochastics consist of two lines:%K – Is the main line and is usually displayed as a solid line%D – Is simply a moving average of the %K and is usually displayed as a dotted lineThere are three types of Stochastics: Full, fast and slow stochastics. Slow stochastics are simply a smother version of the fast stochastics, and full stochastics are even a smother version of the slow stochastics. Interpretation:Buy when

Forex Trading: Let your winners run
2007-11-07 08:24:17
This saying is bartered about like some kind of wise words from above - cut your losses and let you winners run.I think that most of us in the 1KT know about cutting losses - that's the easy bit, hell if we dont then we go broke right? Or do we?BUT 'let your profits run' is harped on by almost every guru and book writer on the planet - unfortunately they never answer the inevitable question that follows "how far?"How far is letting a profit run? if you allow a 1 pip trade to go to 2 pips you've let it run. if you let a 10 pip trade go to 500 you've let it run - when exactly is enough?To give some background to differing opinions before the floodgates of posts follow, please allow me to present some popular opinions and their reasoning behind them.1. trade it till it's dead - in this scenar

Forex Trading : How to be a Profitable Forex Trading Trader

" Forex Trading is so hard. I seldom have a winning trade!" " Forex Trading is so easy. I just have another winning streak for the entire week!"Two Groups of Forex Trader s - The Losers And The WinnersRead the two statements above again. These are two of the main statements I often hear from friends who are trading forex. Diametrically opposite, these two statements contrast greatly between themselves- one group of traders finding forex trading so very difficult for themselves, hardly able to get a winning trade. Traders from this group are fumbling at the ropes, trying to become profitable traders and to be able to bring home the roost. Traders of another group are the happier ones. They are consistently profitable in their trades. They are the winners in the forex market.You look around -

Forex Trading : Can You Be A Successful Forex Trader Trading Just One Indicator Only?
2007-11-03 06:38:34
In a quiet moment last weekend I was wondering if you could trade forex full-time just using one technical indicator.My conclusion was that it would be extremely difficult, if not impossible, to make consistent profits, but then I remembered back to when I first started trading forex a few years ago, and realizing that back then I pretty much only used one indicator - the Exponential Moving Average / EMA (15), and did make consistent profits.Technically speaking I didn't use only one indicator as I also displayed the EMA (50) and EMA (100) on the same chart to help me decide on exit strategies, and nowadays I use a lot more indicators to confirm my positions, but nevertheless I still think this basic approach of using an EMA (15) on a 30-minute chart could still generate regular profits.Th

Applying Poker Strategies to Trading The Markets
2007-11-01 13:56:38
By: James LeeAs a professional no-limit holdem poker player prior to my trading career, I find that both professions share many similarities. Poker and trading are both a game of probabilities. Individual psychological makeup is also important to control emotions during times of tilt and euphoria.In poker, a player can choose the stake he is willing to play. In the futures markets the stakes are chosen by the size of the trade. However, one of the biggest differences I found is as follows:1. In poker, you are automatically offered the option to play a hand that you are dealt. For example, in no-limit holdem this can be a Q10, KK, 10J, 2-7, etc....Each starting hand begins with a probability. For example, pocket 9's has a 52.4% favorite against an AK suited. The odds of getting dealt a pock

When I started to trade FOREX and made my first big losses and profits I began to notice when very important thing about the whole trading process. While the right time to enter a position was rarely a problem for myself (nearly 80% of all my open positions had gone into the “green” profit zone), the problem was hidden in the determining the right exit point for that position. Not only was it important to cut my risk on the potential losses with stop-loss orders, but to limit my greediness and take profit when I can take it and make it as high as I can. There are many known guidelines and ways to enter a right position at a right time – like major economic news releases, global world events, technical indicators combinations, etc. But while the entering into a position is optional an

Forex Trading & The Science Of Getting Rich
2007-11-01 13:55:35
I first became aware of “the science of getting rich” a number of years ago when someone sent me a reprint of a book of that name by Wallace Wattle.The book is a very “dry” read but the author claimed that getting rich was an exacting science which means that if anyone applied the rules – to the letter, then the outcome, by scientific definition, would be a true replication.In other words, if one were to apply the rules of “the science of getting rich”, one would inevitably become rich.In many ways, not dissimilar to applying a trading system that is proven to work, provided the user applies the system rules exactly, then the same success should be replicated time and time again.You will recall – unless you have been trading Lunar Currencies (joke) – that we recently had
