FOREX 4 DUMMIES

Postby MrM on Fri May 23, 2008 4:52 am

Forex for Dummies
Forex Basics

If you've already read the "What is Forex?" section then you should know what Forex market is and what it is all about. If not, please, do it. There are five essential aspects of foreign currency market a beginner trader (and an old one as well) should be aware of:

* Forex Fundamental Analysis
* Forex Technical Analysis
* Money Management
* Forex Trading Psychology
* Forex Brokerage


Understanding and mastering these sides of trading are crucial to organize your Forex trading experience.

Forex Fundamental Analysis

Fundamental analysis is the process of market analysis which is done regarding only "real" events and macroeconomic data which is related to the traded currencies. Fundamental analysis is used not only in Forex but can be a part of any financial planning or forecasting. Concepts that are part of Forex fundamental analysis: overnight interest rates, central banks meetings and decisions, any macroeconomic news, global industrial, economical, political and weather news. Fundamental analysis is the most natural way of making Forex market forecasts. In theory, it alone should work perfectly, but in practice it is often used in pair with technical analysis. Recommended e-books on Forex fundamental analysis:

* Reminiscences of a Stock Operator
* What Moves the Currency Market?

Forex Technical Analysis


Technical analysis is the process of market analysis that relies only on market data numbers - quotes, charts, simple and complex indicators, volume of supply and demand, past market data, etc. The main idea behind Forex technical analysis is the postulate of functional dependence of the future market technical data on the past market technical data. As well as with fundamental analysis, technical analysis is believed to be self-sufficient and you can use only it to successfully trade Forex. In practice, both analysis methods are used. Recommended e-books on Forex fundamental analysis are:

* The Law Of Charts
* Candlesticks For Support And Resistance
* Trend Determination

Money Management in Forex

Even if you master every possible method of market analysis and will make very accurate predictions for future Forex market behavior, you won't make any money without a proper money management strategy. Money management in Forex (as well as in other financial markets) is a complex set of rules which you develop to fit your own trading style and amount of money you have for trading. Money management play very important role in getting profits out of Forex; do not underestimate it. To get more information on money management you can read these books:

* Risk Control and Money Management
* Money Management (A chapter from The Mathematics of Gambling)

Forex Trading Psychology

While learning a lot about market analysis and money management is an obvious and necessary step to be a successful Forex traders, you also need to master your emotions to keep your trading performance under strict control of mind and intuition. Controlling your emotions in Forex trading is often a balancing between greed and cautiousness. Almost any known psychology practices and techniques can work for Forex traders to help them keep to their trading strategies rather to their spontaneous emotions. Problems you'll have to deal while being a professional Forex trader:

* Your greed
* Overtrading
* Lack of discipline
* Lack of confidence
* Blind following others' forecasts

These are very professional books on psychology written specially for financial traders:

* Calming The Mind So That Body Can Perform
* Emotion Free Trading
* The Miracle of Discipline

Forex Brokerage

Every Forex trader like any other professional needs tools to trade. One of these tools, which is vital to be in market, is a Forex broker and specifically for Internet - on-line Forex broker - a company which will provide real-time market information to trader and bring his orders to Forex market. While choosing a right Forex broker things to look for are the following:

* Being a professional company you can trust
* Provide you with real-time quotes
* Execute your orders fast and accurately
* Don't take a lot of commissions
* Support the withdraw/deposit methods you use

For beginning Forex traders I recommend these three broker companies, which are probably best Forex brokers to start with:

* LiteForex - broker that supports MetaTrader 4 Forex trading platform and doesn't require a lot of money to start with.
* FXcast - good because you can start trading Forex with as little as 1$.

They have easy-to-use trading platform (FXcast Swing) along with a Metatrader 4 platform, while you can deposit and withdraw money via e-gold, WebMoney and many other ways.

* FXOpen - one of the most popular MetaTrader 4 brokers, allows Islamic Forex trading accounts, while you can deposit and withdraw money via e-gold.

FOREX FAQ

Postby MrM on Fri May 23, 2008 5:00 am

Forex FAQ

What is FOREX?
You can read the detailed answer in the separate section of the site — "What is Forex?".

How can I start trading Forex?
You'll need to register a trading account with a Forex broker, such as Marketiva. Then you can begin using their Forex client program to buy and sell currencies. This will take less than 5 minutes of your time!

Who owns Forex and where is it located?
It's not owned by anyone in particular. Forex is an Interbank market, meaning that it's transactions are conducted only between two participants - seller and the buyer. So as long as existing banking system will exist, Forex will be here. It's not connected to any specific country or government organization.

What the working hours of Forex market?
Forex market is open from 22:00 GMT Sunday (opening of Australia trading session) till 22:00 GMT Friday (closing of USA trading session).

What is margin?
Margin is money you need to have in your broker account to secure your open position. Different brokers require different amount of margin money to keep your positions open.

What are the "long" and "short" positions?
Long position is a "buy" position, meaning that this position will be in profit if price goes up.
Short position is a "sell" position, meaning that this position will be in profit if price goes down.

What is the best Forex trading strategy?
There is none. You should constantly develop your own strategies for every possible market situation, if you want to be in profit. Specific strategies can only be good for a certain period of time and for certain currency pairs.

How much money I need to start trading Forex?
With Marketiva you can start trading Forex with as little as $1. Usually, the minimum amount varies from $100 to $10,000 ($100,000 and more for Interbank trading).

I can't (or don't want to) install any Forex trading software on my computer. Can I still trade Forex?
If you don't want (or it is not possible) to install new software to start trading Forex then a good option for you would be using web based trading platform. You can browse our Forex brokers list to find those which support such platform. Here are those brokers which have web based trading options: ForexYard, Easy Forex, Oanda, Saxo Bank, ACM, Interactive Brokers.

MT4 INDICATORS 4 NOVICE

Postby MrM on Fri May 23, 2008 5:10 am

MetaTrader 4 Forex Indicators

At this page you can freely download MT4 Forex indicators that can be attached to the MetaTrader Forex trading platform to boost your Forex trading performance. You can develop your own Forex trading strategies using these indicators, or you can simply follow them as the trading signals. Feel free to implement any of these indicators into a custom MetaTrader expert advisor. You can change these indicators freely before using on your Forex trading accounts.

If you have any problems with installing or using these indicators, please refer to this tutorial:

MetaTrader Indicators User's Tutorial

Aroon Up & Down — this MetaTrader indicator is based on finding the maximums/minimums of the period and doesn't use standard MT4 indicators. It is a separate window indicator with 2 charting lines. I find it useful to determine the trend changes. (Download zipped indicator)

BB MACD — a MACD variation custom MT indicator, based on moving averages and standard deviation indicator. It can be used to determine trend starts/ends as well as the trend strength (the broader is the gap between two bands, the stronger is the current trend). (Download zipped indicator)

Beginner — this one shows up trend extremes (max and min) which can be treated as the support and resistance points and help you understand current trend channels. It is a simple indicator that uses some period to find most high and most low points and mark them with the dots. It can be a good base for your own range breakout expert advisor. (Download zipped indicator)

Float — this MetaTrader indicator scans the latest trends and tries to apply the data to the current rate, showing a trend start/end in a separate window. It also shows Fibonacci retracement levels on the main chart window. (Download zipped indicator)

Laguerre — a separate window indicator with one line signaling short and long positions, when it crosses the upper band from above or lower band from below, respectively. (Download zipped indicator)

Murrey Math Line X — another kind of pivot points given in form of lines displayed on the main chart. It uses Murrey Math rules to calculate the lines’ position. Lines are shown for the current period and represent the support and resistance levels. (Download zipped indicator)

RSIOMA — this indicator is composed of the two RSI's (Relative Strength Index) of the moving averages. The cross of the RSI's mean the change of the trend - when bold one is above it is an uptrend, when thin one is above it is a downtrend. (Download zipped indicator)

Support and Resistance — as the name suggests, this indicators shows the levels of support and resistance directly on the chart. It uses standard MT4 Fractal indicator and does quite well in depicting the good levels for the next stop-loss and target-profit prices. (Download zipped indicator)

Traders Dynamic Index — indicates trend direction, market volatility and trend strength in a separate window of the MetaTrader terminal. It is handy in many trading styles — long-term and scalping. Read the commentary in the code to learn using it (very easy). (Download zipped indicator)

TRO MultiPair — a multiple timeframe indicator package for multiple currency pair. It shows as a separate terminal window with 3 indicating dots for each of 4 different currency pairs for each MT4 time period. Dots combinations serve as the entry signals. The more timeframes show the same combination the more accurate signal is. Red, red, magenta is used to enter short; green, green, cyan is used to enter long. You can select currency pairs via the input parameters. The timeframe and the currency pair of the chart, to which you attach this indicator don’t matter.

TzPivots — daily pivot points indicator with an accurate and informative display. Trader has to set two input parameters: LocalTimeZone — time zone of the MT4 trading server (e.g. "-5" if it's New York time) and DestTimeZone — time zone of the session for which you want to calculate pivot points (e.g. "+9" for Tokyo trading session pivots). (Download zipped indicator)

Var Mov Avg — indicator is based on the calculating of moving averages of the varying periods. It detects crosses that produce buy/sell signals as well as current trend indication. This indicator has a sound alert on signals, which can be turned on and off. (Download zipped indicator)
