Currency Trading Tools Currency trading tools can be very helpful if you know how to use them in your forex trading . One thing most new traders need to understand is that there is no one tool that will make you a successful trader. Forget what you have read on other sites that try to sell some new tool that promises to make you rich. I'm not saying that new tools can not be useful, but most profitable traders use tools that have been around for a long time.

The currency trading tools that you choose will be vital to your success in the currency trading market. It is a good idea to research all of the major trading tools and try to understand how they are used and what exactly you are trying to accomplish with them. Most new traders will start trading on demo and just start plotting tools on their charts that they have no idea how to use. This is a waste of time. If you are serious about currency market trading you will need to take your education seriously.

This starts with understanding the basics of currency trading and then moving on to your trading system. To develop a trading system that works for you, it is a must that you understand the tools and become familiar with them. The main tools you will run across in your research are Fibonacci, trend lines, and support and resistance. These also include some indicators you find useful, but never base a trading system off of an indicator. Use your indicators as a filter to confirm what your other tools have already told you. Most indicators can be used this way but they will keep you out of a good trade from time to time.

Use your currency trading tools as the meat of your system. Most of these tools have a wide variety of opinions on how to use them. Use these ideas and build on them with your own ideas. This is how you make the tools really work for you. At some point in time you will hear a trader say that they have a feel for the market. When you feel comfortable with your currency trading tools and you get to this point you can now start to really profit from your experience with the market. Be patient in your decisions on currency trading tools.

Tips on Trading Forex If someone tells you that you can get rich quick day trading...run for the hills! There are no overnight successes, unless you are very lucky!

Day Trading isn't easy, but with experience, dedication, self- control and hard work, you *can* become a successful day trader. 1. How to Treat Gap Openings A gap up or gap down open is an emotional move, and it often will reverse course and turn in to "trap open". Gaps that are less than 4 points on the SP Future tend to get filled in the same day, especially Tuesday through Thursday. Turns will occur within 20 to 40 minutes after the open. A trader must be on the lookout for a reversal as soon as early momentum is lost. A gap into a good support /resistance zone is almost always a good "fade" - with stops no more than 1 point on other side of the support /resistance zone.

(A "fade" is simply entering a position opposite of the direction of the gap. If the market gapped down, a "fade" would be entering a long position (buying) in to the selloff.)

2. When the Market Moves Against You, When Do You Exit a Trade? The way I trade, I exit as quickly as possible. There's no sense in waiting around for your "stop-loss" to get triggered when the perceived edge is gone. I like to stay in control of my trades, and if the market doesn't do as anticipated, I don't wait for my stop to get hit.

When there is no longer a high probability situation, exit and take a second look.

3. When Are The Best Times of the Day to be Trading? For me, the best times of the day for trading are the first hour and the last 2 hours.

Here's an old rule of thumb (and this used to work like clockwork in the "old days", and although it has diminished a bit, it still happens):

"The Minor Time of Day"- If the Market opens higher, then there tends to be a pullback within the first 20 to 40 minutes. If the pullback is weak, there will probably be a continuation of rally into the early afternoon. But, if the pullback is sharp, then you've likely seen the high for the day and you'll want to be selling the bounces.

"Major Time of Day"- Around the 2:20pm to 2:40pm time frame, we'll often see moves reverse or gather steam in that timeframe. People that have been holding positions all day long become a bit "antsy" - they have to do something with them before the Market closes for the day. When people holding losing positions into late into the day see the time until the close is near, that can cause the market to make some sharp turns in the last 90 minutes. The program gang also likes to get active that time of day.

4. How Can Anyone Trade a Choppy Market? I take a number of scalps in choppy markets. I time entries with Tick extremes, especially when price pops into previous high areas of congestion, or other intraday support and resistance. Moving averages are not good during choppy days.(Scalps : small profit, "hit and run" type of trades)

5. How Do You Measure Pullbacks In a trend move, I like to see shallow pullbacks to a steeply sloped moving average on one of the 3 time frames I follow. (more time frames, the better) Pullbacks to symmetry in a persistent trend are useful when present.

Example: Rally, dip 2.00 points - Another run up, then a dip of 2.25 points - A another push higher, then a dip 1.75 points. Note continued dips of 1.75-2.25 points repeatedly hold. A pattern has developed, and you want to be buying those shallow pullbacks. This works great used in conjunction with a steep slope of the 20 ema on the 5 minutes charts, or slightly bigger picture, the 60 ema on the 5 minute chart.

Forex Training Programs - Which is the Best Approach for a new comer, a Long or Short Term?There are Forex training programs that can get you quickly up to speed making money. The down side to these classes is that they will not teach you much more about the FX markets than the one technique they use to churn out the profits. Where as, there are comprehensive currency courses you can enroll in that instruct everything from the most essential fundamentals to the most sophisticated concepts.

So, which one is the best way to tackle the markets and start generating positive income? If it were me, I would take the short term approach and learn a few easy ways to make profits. These classes are designed to uncomplicated to learn, trouble-free to trade with and most importantly of all they will have you making money a few weeks after you starting studying the material.

My favorite course in this category are Forex Trading Made E Z and 10 Minute Forex Wealth Builder. There is another class that is the trend trading specialist called Hector Trader. But, it will take you more time to start making money with, since it is more complicated to learn and the videos are much more intensive, requiring multiple views while taking notes.

That's what I would do first, master the three different trading methods instructed in those programs which would provide you a very diversified investment portfolio that would almost assuredly guarantee you a profit each and every month. Next, I would take a class that would teach me everything there was about the markets, so I would now know the reasons why I am doing some of the things taught in the other classes.
