Forex Trader’s Secret: Choose & Use a Consistent Approach
Here is a great article that was published today by Dailyfx.com. Every trader needs to discover and then consistently implement an approach that fits well with their 'trading personality'. Then use a solid money management strategy and that is how you win in the currency exchange markets. One simple approach I have been using for over 2 years now is the FX Loophole strategy. I still recommend it and continue to have my best results with this approach. I think if I hadn't started implementing this particular strategy I probably would have quit forex within a few months of starting. ...

Forex Scalping - Step By Step Strategy
Admin note: I don't really using any scalping strategies anymore for my personal trading. For me, scalping actually takes longer just waiting for a set up and I would prefer to check the charts at the end of the day to see if there is a trade to place for the next day. (One of the main strategies I use that requires checking the charts only once a day after the New York close is the Forex Loophole strategy). But I know many of my readers come here looking for scalping type, intra-day trade strategies. If you are going to ...

Forex - Swing Trading Strategy
Admin note: I've been trading for over 2 years now....and I've finally settled into 3 main strategies. They are all really simple too: Swing trading (when you hold a trade for 1 to 3 days), trading the NY Open when there is momentum, and trading breaks of a Head and Shoulders pattern. Using these three strategies together and trading only when the market is moving with momentum has been incredibly effective. The article below explains about more about the indicators used in Swing Trading. And don't worry -- you don't have to take an expensive class to learn more about ...

Hello Hello!

I have just come back today and I do have a plan for a breakout EUR/USD trade on the weekly charts.
I have an order set to go LONG ...

Forex Chart Patterns - Good Doji Strategy
I ran across this great article today. This is truly an effective and simple strategy. I really like how this trader uses the "doji pattern" to make decisions when trading. If you don't know what a doji is, it is a bar that has an open and close point at nearly the very same spot. It looks like a plus sign on the chart, so it's easy to spot. If you aren't sure what I'm referring to, then do a quick "Google Image" search on "doji candlestick" and you can see what they look like. - Ann P., who has been successfully trading the FX Loophole ...

Where Can I Find Good Forex Daily Analysis Online?
My answer to this will be brief, especially since I have a definite favorite source!
I think the analysis given at FXCM is some of the best online; and it is also well presented in a way that is easy to understand. Their analysts are also often entertaining as well...which makes it easy and not boring to read or watch.
I am always plugged into the Daily FX Stream whenever I am trading, where important analysis and updates are given out in a very timely manner using a Twitter application.
Also, Here is an example of todays "Forex Wrapup:"

Forex Chart Patterns - Trade the “Head and Shoulders”
The Head and Shoulders pattern is known as a "trend-reversal pattern." It is also known for being one of the most reliable trend-reversal signals in the market. Basically, the head and shoulders is when the currency pair makes 3 peaks close together in time, with the middle peak higher than the two side-by-side peaks (see video below for visual example and explanation.) Therefore, it looks like an outline of a head with two shoulders, one on each side of the head.
When a head and shoulders forms on the chart, there will also be a discernible "neckline" within the pattern. When ...

Forex Chart Patterns- Trading Tops and Bottoms
[caption id="attachment_4" align="alignleft" width="124" caption="forex chart patterns"][/caption]
Today I just wanted to draw your attention to a good and simple explanation of how to interpret and place trades using some chart patterns - specifically double tops/double bottoms and triple tops/triple bottoms.
I thought this would be a good time to post a link to this, especially since we are sitting just above a double bottom right now on the EUR/USD even as I post this.

Good morning - here goes another week! Not sure what to expect this week really. Waiting to do the NY Morning Breakout strategy on EUR/USD. Hmmm - Market seems still this morning. Must be some news coming out. Going to check. Ah Ok, Looks like there is news release out this morning with potential large impact from US Treasury. ...
It's a new week - Sunday evening here on May 31, 2009 and Asian forex markets opened about an hour ago. After having fantastic results last week, I am feeling a bit more relaxed this week. I took the weekend off from reading anything about forex or following any financial news.
