Forex Trading Strategies for Profit for Profit
There are many different forex trading strategies as there are many different ways of achieving forex trading success but if you are devising one for yourself there are some key elements the best forex trading strategies incorporate and that the subject of this article.
1. They are Simple
There is a big myth that science can help you trade and the buzz words are neural networks and artificial intelligence systems and other complicated trading systems. The problem is complex forex trading systems with to many inputs mean there are more elements to break and these systems fail in real time.
The base of your forex trading strategy should be a simple trading system that will be robust in the face of ever changing brutal market conditions.
2. Objectivity
The best forex trading strategies tend to be based around objective criteria and rules that are clear and do not have too much subjectivity. For example, a moving average cross over is an objective forex trading signal – Elliot wave and cycles are not and involve subjectivity.
By keeping your strategy objective rather than subjective, you will keep your emotions out and stay disciplined.
3. Trade Valid Data
If your forex trading strategy involves technical analysis and forex charting then you need to use valid data. Forex day trading systems don’t work, as volatility in short time frames is random and prices can and do go anywhere. You need to get the odds on your side and that means trading longer term – swing trading or long term trend following.
4. Breakouts
Most of the top trading systems use breakout methodology, as it’s a fact most major moves start from new market highs not market lows.
Traders who want to get in at a lower price miss these moves – breakout traders know that the odds favour a continuation of the move when a significant level of support and resistance has been penetrated.
5. Money Management
The best forex strategies know there is risk involved in any trade and manage not just the risk per trade but have their eye on the overall risk to the account and the risk of ruin. You need to take care of the losses first and if you have a sound robust currency trading system the profits will look after themselves.
6. Acting on Confirmation
Many forex trading strategies liked to try and base themselves on so called scientific theories of market movement but the fact is trading is a game of odds NOT certainties and this is obvious. If markets did move to a scientific theory we would all know the price in advance and there would be no market.
While this is obvious many traders like to trade far out theories like: Gann Fibonacci and Elliot wave. None of them are scientific by nature and all involve subjectivity from the user – this is a contradiction in terms of a scientific theory.
Predicting means you are hoping or guessing and that won’t get you far in life and certainly not FX trading.
7. Realism
The best forex trading strategies have realistic aims in terms of profits and while many can make triple digit profits in short periods of time over the longer term the best do 30 – 50% compounded and if you had one that did similar you would quickly compound a lot of money and be very wealthy.
If you understand the above you will see that forex trading strategies that are successful tend to be simple, robust, objective and have strong money management linked to realistic goals. If you do the same in your forex trading strategy you can make a lot of money in global forex markets.

Harmonic Trading, Volume Two by Carney, Scott M. Edition ILL, 1 $24.49 The MOST ADVANCED Harmonic Trading Techniques Ever Published–by Their CREATOR, Scott Carney! “Perhaps the greatest shortcoming of the field of Technical Analysis is the high degree of subjectivity in price pattern interpretation. In Harmonic Trading: Volume 2, highly respected technical analyst Scott Carney reduces subjectivity to a minimum with his Fibonacci-based price measurement techniques and traditional technical analysis methods. Precise price-pattern examples presented in the book enable the novice as well as the advanced trader to incorporate the Harmonic Trading methodology into a workable and profitable trading system. Harmonic Trading: Volume 2 will undoubtedly prove to be a vital part of any technical trader’s toolkit.” –TRACY L. KNUDSEN, CMT, Senior Market Analyst, Lowry Research Corp. “I have devoted my life to the study and development of Harmonic Technical Analysis. There are only a few names in this field whose contributions I find truly inspiring. Scott’s work is at the top of that ‘short list,’ and Harmonic Trading: Volume 2 is, in my opinion, the pinnacle of his achievements. It redefines the concept of a ‘must read.’” –JIM KANE, Founder of Kane Trading and author of nine trading books, including Median Line and Fibonacci Synergy “It is rare that one finds an author who has so carefully compiled his research and even more carefully presented his findings as Scott Carney has in Harmonic Trading: Volume 2. Scott presents price-pattern examples and explanations of patterns in such a way that investors, no matter what their level of experience, will find the work of great value in expanding their understanding of the way markets move and how to trade them. Scott’s work should definitely be a prominent part of every investor’s library.” –PETER B. MAUTHE, President, Rhoads Lucca Capital Management, Inc. “This book gave me two new tools to start experimenting with: the 1.13 at market extremes and the RSI BAMM.” –VERONIQUE LASHINSKI, CMT, Board Member of the International Federation of Technical Analysts (IFTA) and former Vice President of the American Association of Professional Technical Analysts (AAPTA) Now, in Harmonic Trading: Volume 2, Carney takes a quantum leap forward, introducing new strategies, patterns, and methods that make Harmonic Trading an even more powerful tool for trading the financial markets. For the first time, he reveals how to utilize harmonic impulse waves and introduces measurement techniques that identify market turning points even more accurately. Finally, he demonstrates how to integrate the Relative Strength Indicator (RSI) with advanced Harmonic Trading techniques to separate minor “reactive” moves from major opportunities. |
