Posted by fts on 31 July 2010

There are five main aspects of the trade on the Forex market and every trader must know these aspects. They are:
* Fundamental analysis of the Forex market.
* Technical analysis of the Forex market.
* Capital management.
* Trade psychology on the Forex market
* Forex brokers.

It is vitally important to learn and to understand the basis of the trading if you want to get stable income.

Fundamental analysis.
Fundamental analysis is the process of the market’s analysis, that is made by learning “real” events and macroeconomic data regarding to the trade currencies. Fundamental analysis is used not only on the Forex market, it is also used for any financial planning and prognosticating. There are some terms that are the essential parts of the fundamental analysis: short-term rates of interest, meetings and decisions of the central banks, any macroeconomic news, global, industrial, economic, political and climatic news. Fundamental analysis is the most natural method of predicting movements on the Forex market. It is enough to use only fundamental analysis, but only in the theory; on practice it is usually used along with technical analysis.

Technical analysis.
Technical analysis is the process of the market’s analysis , that relies only on the numerical data about the market such like quotations, diagrams, simple and complicate indicators, the volume of demand and supply, last data of the market etc. The main point of technical analysis is the postulate of functional dependence of future technical data of the market on the data that you got earlier. Technical analysis is self sufficient theoretically, but on practice you should use both methods of analysis.

Capital management.
Without the right strategy of the capital management you won’t earn much even if you make clear forecasts of the future movement of the Forex market using fundamental and technical analysis. Capital management on the Forex market (as on any other financial market) is a complex set of rules that you develop proceeding of your own trade style and the volume of your capital. Capital management plays an important role in getting income on the Forex market; do not forget about it.

Trade psychology on the Forex market.
You understand that you have to learn two types of analysis and capital management if you want to become a successful trader on the Forex market; but many traders do not pay much attention to the control of their own emotions, although it is a very important point; the results of your trade must depend on your mind and intuition not on fleeting impulses. Controlling of your emotions in Forex trade is the search of balance between greed and care. You can use almost any of known psychological practices; they will help you to follow the chosen strategy. Professional traders often meet the following problems:
* Greed

Stop Run Reversal Forex Strategy – Forex Day Trading Strategy

Posted by fts on 30 July 2010

Have you ever felt like your entering the market at exactly the perfectly wrong time? You spot a perfect trade setting up and get in, instantly you see the price stop on a dime, hit your stop loss, and then continue in the direction of your original trade strategy. If that sounds familiar than you have been the victim of what I effectionatly call a short term stop run reversal. Institutions, market makers, and banks do not intentionally move the price in this way to hurt the average forex traders, quite simply they do it to profit, and I will exaplin how as we go. Retail forex traders do not have the ability to start or continue the moves in the forex market, we simply ride them . Keeping this in mind, if we can begin to recognize frequently chart patterns such as stop run reversals , then we, the retail forex trader can effectively learn to enter exactly when big money starts to move the market. Let examine this forex chart pattern more in depth and explain the process, the flow of orders, and supply/demand surrounding these stop run reversal trade setups.

Stop hunting is something well known in this market, but the reasons behind “stop hunting” is not common knowledge. Then what reason is at the core of these moves just beyond a major area of support/resistance and then a complete rejection ? Quite simply put, large banks and financial institutions have to trade and disperse very large amounts of cash and [SPIN]want the best price possible . If they are looking to to get short the GBP/USD for example, they will run the market up past the last major intra-day swing high by a few pips or more and in doing so trigger the stop losses they know are sitting just beyond the last swing high. This gives them the quanaty of orders to meet their “demand”. By selling in the area of all the buy orders (stop losses) enables them to move huge amounts of money and not cause the market to plummet down as fast as it would without all this “supply”, thus giving them a better overall entry .

Another principal supporting the stop run reversal trade strategy is that of the breakout trader. Many retail traders buy the break of a previous high, and sell the break of previous lows. With this knowledge, not only does “smart money” sell into the orders from those stopped out in the example above, but they also have all the forex retail traders buying the breakout (supply) which only gives them additional supply to sell into, to fill the demand. On top of all the previously mentioned as the larger bank or institution puches the price down after a stop run reversal setup they know that all those that bought the stop run reversal fakeout higher will need to start closing their positions. Its actually a beautiful trade setup for those moving huge amounts of cash, they move the price up into an cluster of huge supply (stop location, as well as people buying a breakout) and by doing so meet their demand. After the fake breakout higher is seen, the forex traders that got suckered into buying have no choice but to cover their trade (sell) and therefore fuel the institution’s position short. Additionally by the time this is recognized by the average forex trader the demand is so high the market has no option but to rapidly plunge down! This example was of a short setup on a stop run reversal strategy but it works the same for a long setep.

To review the lets break this forex trading strategy down into 3 main points. First identify the last major short term swing point in the market. Second wait for that level to break by atleast a few pips, and then quickly retrace back . Third the price must form a reversal candle formation with the candle that broke the support/resistance. This strategy is very close in many ways to day trading an area of support or resistance, but much more powerful ! Additionally here is the link to watch our no cost forex training video on the stop run reversal setup setup. Only “smart money” can move the market up and then just as fast reject it which should tell you something , this is a “smart money” market move!
