Forex Trading - How to start

Hi,

Forex trading is attractive to many new investors because it offers unparalleled freedoms. A forex trader can live and trade anywhere because the market has no physical location and no central exchange. The Market is open 24-hours-a-day, 5.5 days-a-week via a network of banks and corporations. The major market makers, or dealers, are commercial and investment banks and registered futures commission merchants such as IBFX.

The foreign exchange market is unique because of :-

• Its trading volume
• The extreme liquidity of the market
• The large number and variety of traders in the market
• Its geographical dispersion
• Its long trading hours – 24-hours-a-day (except on weekends)
• The variety of factors that affect exchangerates

Prior to 1999, U.S. citizens were not permitted to trade foreign currencies at an individual (retail) level. Only banks could do so. Currency trading by individuals in the United States is growing very rapidly, at a rate of more than 50 percent annually. Currencies are traded in pairs. The most commonly traded currencies are called “majors” – The Euro/U.S. Dollar, U.S. Dollar/Japanese Yen, Euro/British Pound and the U.S. Dollar/Swiss Franc.

Foreign exchange prices or quotes include a “bid” and an “ask”, much like other financial products. The difference between the bid and the ask is called the “spread,” which is the trader’s cost of the transaction. Currency is generally traded in lots. A standard lot is the equivalent of $100,000 of the base currency. For this reason, currency trading is generally done on leverage. Leverage is the ability to control a large dollar amount of a commodity with a relatively small amount of capital. It is also a tool by which traders can determine the level of risk – and the potential reward – they assume in the market. The basic rule of thumb is, the greater the leverage, the higher potential for loss.

The Forex market can be the perfect market for technical analysis because of the sustained price trends that can be seen over time. Technical analysis examines past price and volume data to forecast future price movements. This type of analysis focuses on charts and indicators to capture major and minor trends and identify buying and selling opportunities. The use of technical analysis does not guarantee the traders success or profitability, of course.

However, trading in the off exchange retail foreign currency market (FOREX) is one of the riskiest forms of investment available in the financial markets and suitable for sophisticated individuals and institutions. The possibility exists that you could sustain a substantial loss of funds and therefore you should not invest money that you cannot afford to lose.

Therefore, to start a forex trading, you must have a knowledge 1st about the following aspects :-

1) Forex Market
2) Technical Analysis
3) Fundamental Analysis
4) Trading Strategies
5) How to trade using MT4 Platform

This Week Fundamental Event Calendar (Fundamental Analysis)



This week my Gbp/Jpy (Technical Analysis)

Gbp vs Jpy 1H, 4H & Daily Pre Market Overview



Chart 1H - At this moment, I believed wave iv already completed and looking forward for a bullish continuation to complete wave v. Please noted that there is 3 possible scenario for wave v later which is either :-

1) Yellow truncated - which ic wave v only perform a double top before another major bearish reversal trend.
2) Magenta truncated - which is wave v will be more shorter before anoher major bearish reversal trend.
3) White impulse - which is wave v will be an impulsive wave with condition there will be a true strong breakout to the bullish continuation critical line 1.

Advisable to look for a good bearish reversal signal later from BSTS.



Chart 4H - Please analyse all the alternate counts and my 3 divided zones which are :-

1) Green Rectangle Zone - bias to a bullish trend which is preferably for alt count in white.
2) Maroon Triangle Zone - bias to a bearish bias trend which is preferably once wave v is completed.
3) Red Rectangle Zone - bias to a strong bearish trend which is preferably market in determination to complete subwave c in aqua and wave B in yellow.



Chart Daily - Please noted that I did some changes for yellow wave count and as long the upper green major trendline stay as a strong resistance, preferably we shall see a major bearish trend later to complete subwave c (cyan) and wave b (yellow) or wave 5 and C in magenta. Otherwise if the trendline is taken and its a true breakout, then perhaps market is favourably to alt count in white. Look carefully for any breakout to my teal triangle zones.

Summary :

1) Looking forward for a bullish continuation trend to complete wave v.

2) Wave v could be a truncated wave (magenta or yellow) or an impulsive wave (white).

3) Please analyse all 3 possible counts and determine which one is more favourable by applying to it with your trading system (BSTS).

4) Advisable to standby for a major bearish reversal trend once wave v is completed.

Good luck.
