Foreign Currency Exchange Trading Tips: Developing a group of strategies and indicators to help you profit

Welcome back. Having a profitable trading Forex trading system is undoubtedly important but you are the only one that can make the strategy work. For instance, you can read my foreign currency exchange trading tips. However, you may not make any one of my tips work for you unless you take control of your trading and apply them to you trading.

Developing a set of useful Forex indicators and strategies is essential for anybody who really wants to make some serious cash with Foreign currency trading. I’m going to show you how I have built a set of highly accurate indicators and trading strategies to help me make a killing in the Currency markets.


Select indicators to help you detect trends as early as possible: The foreign exchange market only trends about 20% of the time, so you really want to be able to reap the benefits of every trend that comes your way. Sometimes this is easier said than done. No one can see the future to know what the market will do next but most successful traders can accurately estimate price movements. A good set of indicators can assist you to do just that. Some of the indicators I suggest you use to detect trends early are: The Stochastic indicator, the Parabolic SAR, and the Relative Strength Index (RSI).

Only implement strategies you understand: This is mistake committed by most newbie traders and even experienced FX traders. Buying trading systems from other people can many times be the difference between making and losing money as a Forex trader. However, I believe that no Forex trader should ever trade a trading system he/she doesn’t understand. Allow yourself enough time to learn about the system of your choice and trade with a demo account before you trade the system on your live account.

It is all about the bottom line: You are in this business to earn money and grow your wealth through Foreign currency trading. Currency trading is a business and needs to be approached as one. One of the highest priorities of all Forex traders is the accountability of their trading efforts. What do I mean by accountability? In simple words, is your trading system making you the money you had planned to generate? Is your trading system losing you money? How has the system’s performance affected your bottom line? Successful businesses are incredibly competent at taking care of each penny and as traders we need to apply good business practices to our trading too!

Don't use anything but indicators and strategies that suit your trading style: Your trading style needs to be taken into consideration almost in every trading decision you make. Whenever you choose a set of indicators and strategies you must make sure that these strategies are designed for your trading style. As you probably know there are several scalping systems, swing trading systems and day trading systems online and you need to choose yours carefully. For instance, if you are a day trader it doesn’t make sense to buy a scalping system (unless you are planning on becoming a scalper as well). Take the time to shop around, to read foreign currency exchange trading websites, and choose your set of trading system and strategies.

Regardless of what strategy you choose to use don’t ever forget that the strategy you select will be trading your money so you need to test the system and corroborate its performance.
