Forex Trading – a Simple System That's Very Profitable

Author: Sacha Tarkovsky

I have been giving some live trades to show how a simple system can make big profits. We have done 2 live trades and made two great profits.

We did the same last year we did 5 trades live and won on all of them!

Now that does not make me a genius, but I want to share something with you that I have learned over 25 years as a trader.

The Best Methods are SIMPLE

I have tried just about every way of trading from using artificial intelligence to neural networks and some methods overloaded with indicators and I can tell you the best methods are simple.

The method I use is simply this:

1. Look for significant levels of support and resistance

2. Use a breakout methodology

3. Use stochastics to time entry

4. Use Bollinger Bands for targets and RSI as contrary trading indicator

That’s it.

People think the harder they try or work on a method the better it will work but this is not true.

You get nothing extra for effort in the FOREX markets.

There are many smart traders out there who build incredibly complex systems and are dismayed when they collapse in the brutal world of trading.

The problem with complex systems is there are to many elements to break.

My system above works on any market not just currencies and its logic is sound.

It works makes money and only takes 30 minutes or so a day to execute and there is also no intra day monitoring as it works off daily closes..

It Does However Need:

The trader to spot and filter the set ups. This means YOU pull the trigger not a computer.

Many traders don’t like doing this but the fact is:

We can think computers cant and I personally like the responsibility of making the trade. If you want to delegate totally to a computer then this system may not be for you but I am always more comfortable pulling the trigger myself.

So there you have it a simple system that makes money and I have given you the logic and components for free.

I hope you like it and its of as much use to you as it is to me - after 25 Years I am still using it and it is still making money which is what forex trading is all about.

Just Who Trades Forex Currencies?

Author: Kent Douglas

Fifteen years ago, you would not hear about people trading on the Forex market-at least not real people. Until that time, only central banks, large hedge funds, and other financial giants like Warren Buffet could afford to dabble in the currencies markets. Today, however, the Forex is the most fluid market in the world with nearly 2 trillion dollars trading hands from Sunday through Friday afternoon-24 hours a day. Investors from all over the world are drawn to the Forex for the following reasons:

·Trading occurs 24 hours per day, 5 days a week so investors always have access to brokers and the ability to trade and make profit

·Online trading platform makes trading easy and most can be personalized to suit your particular trading style and needs

·Very large and liquid market making it easy to enter and exit positions

·Volatile market that is prone to rapid price fluctuations-and the potential to make big profits-or take a big loss!

·Trading is leveraged but brokers tend to offer very low margins (as little as 1% of the transaction total can be used as capital)

·No commission for trading-brokers make their money on the spread, or the difference between the ask and bid price

·Ability to set stop/loss points and limit potential loss while pursuing maximum profit

Basically, the Forex offers the thrill and chase you might find in Vegas along with the technical analysis and detective work people associate with Wall Street. As far as who actually trades on the Forex market, there are two basic groups emerging as the majority players:

1.29-39 yr. old, computer savvy professionals looking for an additional revenue stream with unlimited potential, a convenient and dynamic investment interface, and the ability to limit loss while maximizing opportunities. This group of investors tend to either have a degree or have taken some college courses. While many are putting some of the profits away for retirement, most investors in this demographic are looking for additional income to help pay bills, finance lifestyles, and perhaps pay off mortgages early.

2.Baby Boomers: That's right, there are nearly 80 million official members of the baby boomer generation nearing 60 and thoughts of retirement. Only 25% report having $50,000 or more set aside for savings aside from their primary residence-and many are looking for a safe, secure way to boost retirement funds. The convenience of the Internet combined with the large potential for profit and limited risk make the Forex an increasingly attractive investment option for baby boomers hoping to add some real money to their retirement account in short order. Baby boomers especially love brokers who offer free demo accounts for the investor to learn the ins and outs of the Forex market before actually risking any money.

Like any investment tool, the Forex market presents risk for any potential investor. It is the risk that creates the opportunity for both profit and loss. And, like most investments, taking the time to do the homework and identify trends helps make more informed and guided decisions. For anyone looking to make a real boost in their income or retirement account, the Forex offers an opportunity to earn unlimited profits-but the losses can mount too so be sure to place stop/loss orders with any position to limit exposure.

The Forex Trading Machine (Price Driven Forex Trading)

"Forex, or Foreign Exchange, trading is one of today's hottest trading opportunities. Regular people are consistently making $500, $600 and more per day from the comfort of their home trading forex. Many do not know this, but the forex market is by far the largest market in the world. It is estimated that around $1.5 TRILLION is traded every single day. By far more then all the stock, bond and futures markets of all the world combined!

What are the main benefits of day trading forex? Incredible volatility (allowing traders to catch sometimes 5-6 price swings per day), 5-7 currency pairs to monitor (instead of over 10,000 stocks!), no commission trading, guaranteed fills for stop losses and limit orders, impressive leverage, 24 hour market (never stops), traders can open an account with online brokers with as little as $300, and much more!

Created by Avi Frister, a veteran Forex Trader, The Forex Trading Machine is a revolutionary product within the forex industry. This is a must read for anyone wanting to take advantage day after day of the impressive profits the forex market offers.

You will learn to trade two daytrading systems and one swing trading system. And the interesting part of all of this is that none of these systems use ANY type of indicators!

The Cash Cow strategy is aimed at capturing large price swings and literally takes no more than 1 minute per week to implement (perfect for people who cannot monitor the market).
The two daytrading strategies, "Forex Runner" and "Forex Flip & Go", aim to capture an average of 40 pips per trade and are also 100% mechanical (totally rule based: no interpretation, judgment or discretion).

Remember, the course has been written by an 11 year veteran and fits the needs of ANY type of trader (even if you know nothing about the forex market).
