Forex Day Trading - Pounding by USD
Forex Day Trading - Pounding by USD on all the currency pairs
Did you notice what happenned to forex market in last 4-5 days? Yes..The big USD has hit back on all the currencies..No exceptions (There is one - JPY).
EUR/USD dropped by 350 pints, GBP/USD dropped by 450 and so on and so forth. This was an excellent opportunity to make some great forex pips. I placed trade on EUR/USD and made 155 pips. The market was really great trend wise.
The technical indicators were all holding up - there was a massive MACD divergance on daily chart, the EMA, the stochastic and RSI, all were confirming USD bullishness.
The only thing left to be done was to follow a strong trading system and make good profit using good entry and exit points.

Forex Day Trading System : importance of correct forex charts
Forex Day Trading System : importance of correct forex charts to follow trade
I have observed that most of the traders and newbies generally tend to focus on the book to learn trading stratgies or systems and not focus on rest of the essentials. What they don't realize is that it doesn't matter if you have wheat in the house and not the utensils to cook it.
Same goes with forex trading. Along with having a sound forex day or swing trading system, you also need to have other necessaties lined up. One of such necassity is a good trading chart. Without the currency trading chart its as good as doing gambling. Your entry points, exit points may not be right, you will not know the trend and other points.
Here are the important points to consider when identifying a good forex chart -
1. It should update realtime.
2. It should allow yoputo fluctuate between different time periods such as a daily chart or 1 hr chart or 5 min chart etc.
3. It should allow you to put atleast some popular technical indicators such as EMA, RSI, MCD and Fibonacci. Others are parabolic sar, stochastics, candlesticks etc.
4. It should allow to follow charts of multiple currency pairs such as EUR/USD, USD/CHF or GBP/USD etc.
Thats all in this session of forex day trading..Visit again to learn more on the exciting world of currency trading.

Forex Day Trading System : My trade on EUR/USD
Forex Day Trading System : My trade on EUR/USD
In my last post I mentioned that I opened a EUR/USD trade on a buy side at 1.3306 with target of 1.3345. I kept the stop at 1.3268..
Currently I am 80 pips profit since the EUR bounced higher crossing the double top of 1.3345 resistance. Due to this, I closed on half of the position at 1.3345. This is a gauranteed 39 pips profit for me..The other I am keeping afloat to book more profits.
In between, my trade was in 30 pips loss and as per my trading rules, once the currency pair breaks below a particular EMA level, am supposed to close the trade..However I identified that the 1.3375 was a strong support level with currency pair of EUR/USD consistently bouncing from that, so I stayed in the trade despite it required me to bend my trading rules.
In a nut shell, this trade converted from forex day trading to swing trading.
Different people have different trading styles - Some generally like to have some strategies that are more of trading guidelines and have flexibility of defying them as per forex market conditions like the example mentioned above. Other prefer to have a total mechanical approach. They are the ones that generally don't put too much of focus on technical indicator and their analysis such as mACD, RSI or even EMA (exponential moving average) for that matter.
Many of you have sometimes asked me which ebook is the best for finding the strategies..1st of all, in my blog itself if you continously follow, I reveal strategies from time to time as and when I come across any..However, if you are looking for a specialized ebook that mentions inside out of a forex trading strategy, here are the 2 books which I recommend on the basis of limited trades I placed using the currency trading system mentioned in them -
1. Mechanical trading style - For, this style of traders, the book I recommend is Forex Trading Machine by Avi Frister. I placed 4 swing trades using cash cow system out of which 3 were profitable. Total profit 210 pips.
2. Flexible trading style - These traders should definitley buy 5 EMA forex trading system by Adam Burgoyne. Great system..I placed 3 trades using my demo account on this with total profit of 177 pips.
So, decide what is your trading style and if you are looking for a system, then above mentioned two ebooks should be bought. However, use the strategies mentioned in them in your demo account 1st. Also, if you are totally new to forex trading, I suggest you to learn the important technical indicators 1st.

Forex Day Trading System - The most volatile time of the month is NFP (Non Farm Payroll)
Forex Day Trading System - The most volatile time of the month
Tomorrow is the most volatile time in a month of the currency trading market..Yes its Non Farm Payroll time.. I like the way the forex pairs jumps during this announcement..The candlesticks size is big, the technical indicators such as RSI, EMA or MACD etc don't make sense and all the analysis goes for a toss..
Its really exciting..I generally do not trade this fundamental news announcement..However, I bought Avi frister course of Forex Trading Machine sometime back..The course comes with a strategy on how to trade the NFP news..I am going to apply this strategy on my demo account to check how is the strategy working..My target will be just 25 pips..no more..no lesss.
As always, I'll share the results with you..
Meanwhile, some of you who hava asked how has been the results of the cash cow strategy of this course..Here are the details -
1. Trade 1 - 100 pip profit..
2. trade 2 - I customized the strategy a bit to apply under certain different rules..I ended up with 60 pip profit on my demo account..
Although I made a big profit by trading NZD/USD..it was 191 pips..
As far as the Forex Trading Machine system goes, its too early for me to say how reliable is it though I had too profitable trades, but I would like to make few more trades using the strategies mentioned in that.
Thats all in today's post..Incase you have bought the forex trading machine course yourself, do share with me your results if you have done the day trading of the NFP news.

Forex Day Trading System - USD booms
Forex Day Trading System - USD booms!!
Anyone who is watching the currency trading charts must have realized that the USD is bullish the big time..And its bullish across the board with EUR, GBP, CHF, AUD, NZD everyone stumbling against Greenback retaliation..Except JPY!! Yes, Yen is giving bigtime pounding to the $$..
Thats because the JPY is too much driven by the fundamentals..Thats the primary reason I don't day trade USD/JPY currency anymore since I do trading by technical analysis using indicators such as EMA, RSI or MACD etc..
I entered the trade the other day NZD/USD, which I closed at 191 pips profit..In between I was in 230 pips profit, but I stayed in the trade till I got a valid exit signal..
Thats the important concept, enter the trade only when your trading system for day or swing trading mentions for forex market and exit only when the technical indicators ask you to do so..
Thats what the philosophy I applied and ended up with 191 pips profit..
Thats all in today's session..Please visit again to learn for on currency or also called trading the forex.
