Forex Trading Tips

For those who have followed our Forex Blog and our Forex signals back then should have known that it has always been my goal to write and publish a Forex book (or at least an ebook)… Yes, System 3 was one of the Forex trading strategies that I have published as an ebook here in Wanwaihui but that wasn’t really enough – I wanted a full-fledged book.

Nonetheless, my schedule and personal planning has really let me down on this department. I feel that I should share bits and pieces of Forex advices when they have come to my mind. And one day, perhaps by compiling them I shall get a book. Anyway, I have listed some Forex tips that I felt have immensely guided me in my FX Trading career, here goes:

Forex Education

Keep up with your Forex education. You can do this by trading on multiple accounts; one real, and one fake. Use your fake accounts to test the waters of other currencies, and find out which ones seem like safe bets. Since you will not be using real money, you will be able to freely dive in and learn the most about the market.

Leverage – Double-edged Sword

Use leverage carefully. Leverage can quickly make you large amounts of money, but if the market swings the other direction, it can cause you to lose large amounts of money just as quickly. Knowing your limits when it comes to leverage is important, and should be based on how much experience you have in the market.

Over Trading

Watch for signs of addiction. Trading in markets can be seen as a form of gambling, so be careful not to get addicted. Make sure emotions do not cloud your trading plans. Do not become completely preoccupied with trading, and above all else, make sure you have the ability to control your trading impulses and follow your Forex Trading Strategies.

Everyone For Himself

Remember that you are not trying to challenge that market. A big mistake that many beginning traders make is believing that they are out to fight the market, when realistically they should be trying to read it. Keep in mind that the market is not out to get you, and that effectively reading it is the key to maximizing your profits.

Proven Forex Trading Strategies

Use proven Forex trading strategies for trading. Revolutionizing the market is always an idea in the minds of new traders, but there are reasons behind the methods used by experienced traders. These proven Forex strategies work well for the entire Forex system. Once you become a more experienced trader, you can experiment with other ideas, but a beginner should use what is tried and true.

Stop Loss

Have a stop loss in place. A stop loss will prevent you from going below a certain amount, and this is extremely beneficial in several situations. If your internet connection were to suddenly go out, and a market takes a turn for the worse, you would be unable to pull out before it was too late. A stop loss prevents this from happening.

Your Personal Trading Signature

Be confident in yourself and your methods. If you worry too much whether you are doing things right or wrong, you are setting yourself up for failure. Learning your own method and becoming confident in it is the best way to encourage yourself to take risks and make brilliant profits.

Take a Bad Trade As a Man

Do not justify your bad trades. Some traders will attempt to make themselves feel better by saying that even if they lost money, it is good for the country whose currency they lost on. This is detrimental to a trader’s plans, as it makes them more inclined to lose more often, because they can justify it.

Choose Your Forex Broker Carefully

Beware of fraudulent Forex Brokers. Even on a global market like Forex, fraudulent brokers make their way in and attempt to defraud new traders. Prevent this by ignoring Forex brokers that offers abnormally large sign up bonuses! If the bonuses or spreads offered seems too good to be true, it probably is.

Enjoy the Risks

If you are a person who cannot handle risk-taking, then Forex trading is not meant for you. The market jumps up and down on a daily basis, and if you are not prepared to manage the stress of these events, you should probably not be involved in the trading process.

Having been in the Forex market for years, I fully understand how difficult and stressful Forex trading can be without the correct trading psychology, strategies and support of your important ones. Take the above ideas by heart and I hope they could one day (today!) be of use towards your Forex trading endeavors.

      I wneatd to post you this little bit of note to finally thank you so much yet again with your breathtaking guidelines you’ve contributed on this website. This has been generous with people like you to offer without restraint all that some people would’ve distributed for an e-book to end up making some bucks for their own end, specifically considering the fact that you might well have tried it in case you considered necessary. Those thoughts also acted to be the easy way to fully grasp that someone else have the same dream just like my very own to learn much more in terms of this problem. I think there are lots of more enjoyable opportunities ahead for many who look into your blog.


  3. I truly appreciate this blog article.Really looking forward to read more. Much obliged.


    • Mike, we do have tdplearans posted on the SST Owner’s Club website. The best thing to do is to trade the pairs with the best movement, range and lowest spread costs. It’s pretty easy to see if you look at some daily charts and then intraday charts. But when you make low spread costs a necessary criteria, the list gets pretty small. EURUSD, GBPUSD, EURJPY.. Maybe a few others but those are the three best over a long period of time. In fact, if you’re day trading, why not keep it simple and focus on just the EURUSD? The SST FX just nailed down +1000 pips during the US session this past month but the Euro Session had some nice movement too.

      most of ppl enter forex mrekat to get a luxury lifestyle regardless of how much they can loss,they just look at the millions they can make out of this mrekat.How to Lose ? what to Lose ? you can make 100 trades/month , 50 winners and 50 losers and you are still in profit.Main forex rule #1 , #2, #3 is profit:loss ratio in any trade , u gotta keep it more than 1 !!!!Greedy people lose in any branch of trading !just try to get little profit and you will be safe.

      • Shraddha

        Correction the up Correction the up move was 80 pintos from 1.5720-1.5800. But 80 pintos is $1,000 move and could have entered at 1.5710 and got another $125. Horizontal consolidation regions, this is 40pts hi/low, can break any direction and would not use a move out of this range alone to enter a trade.


  9. Thanks for sharing these thoughts. This has been very helpful to me. Looking forward to read more informative topic.


  10. Hi,

    Forex trading is all about putting your money into other currencies, so you can gain the interest for the night, for time period or the difference in trading money all around. Thanks a lot…

    Like atinhyng computer related, The field of automated forex EA?s is of course still very much an evolving science and a work in progress.It seems like there are far more brazen charlatan marketers out there that want to rip us off as there are talented genius robot developers w good intentions.I?m certainly hoping the latter are behind the ?Forex Bulletproof?!Having made the Forex Autopilot & FAP Turbo, both of which have supposedly sold well and been around a fairly long time now tells me that there must probably be quite a bit of know-how behind this newer and safer EA.The concept of owning and operating a safer EA that is affordable, relatively simple, and works extremely well under various conditions is fascinating to ponder. An impossible dream? Up to now, maybe.But decades ago so were most of the things we take for granted like the recent generation of the PC and cell phones with all the features, micro-surgery, Big screen HDTV, etc, etc. I?m still very cautious and by no means a big fan of forex EA?s -yet.Too many demo accounts crashed by clunky machines. Much of it by them selecting poor entry points and allowing massive drawdown.All of them started out pretty much the same way- Bold promises of rapidly multiplying account balances and flashy colorful web sites urging you to buy it now at a discount before some arbitrary number of units is ?sold out? to the lucky few.Unfortunately most of the time far more care and thought went into creating those website sales pages than ever went into designing the very EA itself they were selling, lol! The EA?s I got showed impressive back tests (don?t they all!) exaggerated to look great.The EA was probably tested under ideal ?cherry picked? market conditions and any bad trades/massive drawdowns that would have forced you to accept large losses in real or demo accounts were thus avoided using the benefit of 20-20 hindsight, making it look like you were only going to instead experience small losses while raking in a nice steady stream of tidy profits every trading day.But I?m willing to keep an open mind about this new ?Forex Bulletproof? EA at this point. Like they say, it doesn?t hurt to look! I?m going to see what shows up about it on Peace Army and a few other sites I check up on.Real world experience is the worlds best teacher you?ll ever have, but since we can?t spend the time and money testing dozens of EA?s to find ?the one? the next best thing is reading reviews from others.The ?Forex Bulletproof? comes with a sane and realistic sticker price of 149.00 and what makes it especially appealing is the always reassuring standard 60 day Clickbank guarantee, should it turn out to be just another failed wanna-be.It?s even endorsed by respected and successful forex trader Vladimir Ribikov (of ?SRS Trend Rider? fame) who by all appearances on the net seems to have a genuine and passionate interest in all things Forex.In my opionion he isn?t a typical affiliate marketing scam artist who doesn?t know or care about trading and is just trying to hustle a fast buck by pushing the latest robot/system/indicator or whatever. I tend to think he wouldn?t risk is name and reputation on atinhyng that didn?t seem like it would be solid over the long term.Having ones name associated w an EA that turns out to be just another useless POS could haunt you just about forever. Living down an embarrassing business scandal or trying to overcome negative reviews in any profession has to be harder than ever when Googling shows it basically forever.The ?Forex Bulletproof? is going to be launched 8-31-10 according to the website. I think I can live w/o the 2 upsells if I eventually end up buying.

    I’d have to say FAP TURBO This is not you aegvare Forex trading software. This is the Forex software that broke the sales, returns and gravity records at clickbank (largest software reseller in the world) and that is saying something, lower returns usually means a much better product. If Fap Turbo was a bad product there is no way it could have broken the returns record because a useless product gets returned.But that isn’t the best thing about Fap Turbo by a long shot, it also teaches while it profits. It is a 24/7/365 hard working personal trade assistant. The type of assistant that is better than you and doesn’t need food, breaks, raises, sick days . You get my point. This software is amazing with it’s AI (artificial Intelligence)


  13. website price

    It�s my first pay a visit to this web site, and I am in fact surprised to see such a fastidious feature YouTube video posted at this point.


  14. I have to say hello, I am new here.
    I really hope this is a correct forum
