Forex Day Trading system - The market trigger called NFP
Forex Day Trading system - The market trigger called NFP
Currently the forex market is range trading..Its not trending at all. Thats what happens when a fundamental announcement is about to come out. If the fundemental news is not big, the range bound movement may happen on the 15 min chart. However if the fundamental announcement is as big as NFP (Non farm payroll), then the range bound movemet can be seen on the hourly or even the day chart.
Thats wh the fundamental nnouncement is important. It can help in understanding why the market is trending or is range bound.
The NFP is one of the very highly observed fundamental announcements. The market moves more han 50+ pips in mere seconds. If you catch the wave correctly, you'll end up making faboulous profit. However, if the trade is not right, well, your account may see a reduction in balance.
I would not suggest you to trade the NFP announcement, UNLESS you have a solid system. Lot of people claimed to have a good NFP trdaing system, but their strategy was way too risky and was not good in terms of risk to reward.
If you have to use a system, I would recommend you to try out the one recommended by Avi Frister in his package of Forex Trading Machine. This ebook is very nice, easy to understand and yet easy to follow. Following that strategy, the amount of pips in profit are quite nice.
Now, I know you are tempted to buy it, but I would suggest you to try that out on a demo account 1st..Once you become comfortabe,you can apply the strategy on the real account.
However, if you do not have a system, I would strongly suggest you to stay away from the Nonfarm payrolls (NFP) announcements and not trade at all when this news is coming out.

Top Sources to learn forex trading online
Top Sources to learn forex trading online
Sorry for posting after quite a while..I was working on something which I'll share with you within next few messages. Its kind of nice new thing.
People generally tend to ask me how should they learn about trading forex. This is a very common question. With so much information flowing on internet and significant amount of it being scan, its not difficult for someone to get overwhelmed. There are lots of ebooks that tell you about a secret strategy with which one can make loads of money immediately.
To be honest, I have not come across any strategy that will make loads immediately..However there are few ebooks on forex trading that are reliable and are written by good authors.
However before anyone starting directly on ebook on forex trading to learn some strategy, I would strongly recommend to understand the concepts of commonly used technical indicators (such EMA, MACD, RSI, Fibonacci, stochastics and parabolic SAR) and important fundamental announcements (Such as FOMC rate decision, NFP etc.).
There is no point of going through an ebook if one doesn't know the technical indicators and important fundamental news.
To learn these things, the recommended resources are -
1. My blog..:-).,Yes, I have posted quite a few articles on to learn forex trading and commonly used indicators.
2. Investopedia
After these things are learned, then one should find a reliable course or an ebook for that matter to understand a reliable strategy.
I'll go through the recommended resources in the next post..Keep visiting to learn more on Forex and currency trading.

The Forex Trading Blog - Some interesting facts..:-)
Here are some interesting facts on "The Forex Trading Blog" -
As I mentioned in my previous post, it took more than 5 days infact 7 days to be precise for the 1st visitor to visit this site since I started it on 13-May-06. However once it started, there is constant increase in the readership.
The most popular post that is read again and again on this site is the one in which I mentioned the ebook I recommend - Forex Trading Machine from Avi Frister and 5 EMA forex trading system by Adam Burgoyne. These 2 ebooks are truely great.
The most famous question that my readers keep asking me again and again is "Which currency pair should one trade". I recommend the USD based currency pair since the spreads are very tight.
The most common technical indicator that I guess readers are interested is EMA and people always ask me the settings for the EMA.
There are 177 RSS subscribers to my blog (2 added since my last post..:-)) ..Out of these 40% are USA based and 25% are UK based. To my surprise, 5% are indians. I was expecting less than that.
I asked in one of my posts that which fundamental announcement do people like to trade the most. The response was..Yes, NFP (Non farm payroll).. Altough its a very volatile & risky news, still it seems to be the favourite. If you are trading using that, I suggest you to use the strategy that Avi frister provides when one buys his Forex Trading Machine ebook
Thats all in today's post..I'll share some more interesting facts in my next message..Keep visiting to learn more. Infact I encourage you to add the RSS feed to your site so that you are always aware when I post about online forex trading which I do quite frequently..:-).

Trading with EUR, GBP
Trading with EUR, GBP - The popular currency pairs
Ever thought which are the most popular currency pairs to trade? Yes, EUR/USD is the popular of all and generally has tightest of spreads which is 2-3 pips depending on the broker.
The next is GBP/USD - the highly volatile and has spread of 4-5 pips.
What follows is USD/CHF and USD/JPY. Generally have 4-5 pips spread.
Remember the high the volatile the currency pairr is, the more it will honour technical analysis and corresponding indicators such as EMA, fibonacci levels, MACD, RSI etc. etc.
The exception being USD/CAD and USD/JPY which I have noticed is highly fundamental announcements and news impacted. Such as Oil price drives USD/CAD very heavily.
Also, the high the volatility, the more popular the pair is and the more ebooks are written for that currency pair. For e.g. ones written by Avi Frister or by Marc Mcrae. Not only that, people develop separate strategy for day trading that forex pair and some develop swing trading strategies as well.
I have not heard any one developing startegy for EUR/GBP since it is not that volatile.

Other than that, the sources are -
www.dailyfx.com - Great site with important news and links to free and paid forex charts

Day trading the Forex: Zing is missing from the NFP announcements
Day trading the Forex: Zing is missing from the NFP announcements
Somehow that volatility for which Non farm payrolls and related fundamental news and announcements are famous, is missing.
Yesterday's NFP was $ bullish and EUR/USD currency moved only 80 pips as against the typical movement of 100-140 pips..
Is it because the NF payroll is not being treated as important by market anymore? This definitly is shift in pattern from past 3 declaration of this fundamental announcement.
I read a column at daily fx sometime back and from that article I concluded that since most of the fundamental trading is driven by US Dollar based news. Since, the economic factors change such interest hikes, change in inflation, policy outlook etc., the importance of the announcement changes . fore.gNFP may be important today, tomorrow ISM or FOMC may become more important.
Thats why it is very impirtant to be aware of whats happenning in US economic world when you are doing forex trading.
Oh yes, about my experience with Avi Frister's strategy - I made 35 pips in that. However, I lost 25 pips with the other strategy I was trying. In all a profit of 10 pips.
If you are interested in buying the ebook by Avi yourself, here is the link - Forex Trading Machine.
It includes my affiliate link and will help me earn some commision. Thanks if you end up buying the book through this link.

Forex Day Trading System: the volatility when news break out
Forex Day Trading System: the volatility when news break out
People many times ask me why does the volitility increase significantly when a fundamental news announcement such as FOCM or NFP comes out?
It may seem to be simple question for some of you, but I must tell you that it is very important for those who don't know.
Volatility is driven by the number of people in the forex market to buy or sell a currency pair in day trading. So, when the news breakout, the banks or the traders realize what is the true value of the currency. So, lets say if US fed release a fundamental announcement that is favourable for USD, it would mean that people need to buy dollar and close all the positions which are not in short in dollar.
This will increase the volatility tremendously and the candlestick bars will get bigger and all the traders who do technical trading will jump in..In other words, the online forex trading market will become active..
Thants all in today's post..Like I said in many previous posts, Keep visiting to learn more in the day trading of the currency market..You can add this page to your favourites or can add subscribe to the RSS feed by adding the chicklets on your yahoo/google or technorati page..
