The best forex traders hone their skills through practice and discipline. Here are eight tricks that can help the novice and seasoned professional alike develop their craft.
Number 1, define your goals. To know what you want to achieve, you have to know if your trading methods are conducive to your goal. Make sure your trading style fits your risk profile.
Number 2, choose a broker who offers a trading platform with the analysis you want. Spend the time needed to research a broker’s practices and policies.
Number 3, choose a methodology, and be consistent. Whether you choose fundamental or technical analysis, remember to stick with it, and be ready to adapt to market changes.
Number 4, keep your timing in sync. Synchronize charts to avoid the confusion of different time frames. If the weekly chart gives you a buy signal, confirm it with the daily chart.
Number 5, calculate your expectancy, which is the formula that shows the reliability of your system

Too old post to share something, but what I can say about Forex is that it is not an easy busy business. You have to have skills and knowledge to be part of this business. Your skills are going the only way you are going to survive.

My favorite trick is to use trailing stop loss in trending markets, though it is difficult to identify trends, when you manage to do that you great increase expected return while keeping risk the same as in the case of fixed stop loss and take profit settings.

Here are some of which I try to do religiously in my hfm trades:

Develop a trading plan: Before entering the market, create a clear trading plan that outlines your goals, risk tolerance, and trading strategy. This will help you stay focused and disciplined, and avoid impulsive trading decisions.

Manage your risk: Effective risk management is essential in forex trading. Use stop-loss orders to limit your losses and consider using position sizing techniques to ensure that you don't risk more than you can afford to lose.

Stay up-to-date on market news and events: Stay informed about economic and political developments that could affect the forex market. This will help you anticipate market movements and adjust your trading strategy accordingly.

Practice good money management: Avoid overtrading and don't risk more than 2-3% of your account balance on any single trade. Also, consider diversifying your portfolio and using multiple currency pairs to spread your risk.

Keep a trading journal: Keeping a record of your trades and analyzing your performance can help you identify your strengths and weaknesses as a trader. This will allow you to refine your approach and improve your trading results over time.

My favorite trick is to achieve first a streak of bad trades on demo account and then place the trade on live account which has a higher chances to be profitable since markets often exhibit mean-reversion property. So if 4-5 trades on trend reversal were bad, chances rise that the next trade will be in profit.

    • Date: 26th July 2024. The Yen Soars as the Likelihood of a BoJ Rate Hike Rises! The Japanese Yen wins back some lost ground as global Central Banks edge closer to rate cuts. The probability of another interest rate hike by the Bank of Japan increases. July’s best performing currencies are the Japanese Yen (+4.35%), British Pound (+1.41%) and the Swiss Franc (+1.41%). Currencies are taking advantage of the weaker US Dollar, but the worst performing currency remains the New Zealand Dollar. USDJPY – Growing Likelihood of a Second BoJ Rate Hike! The USDJPY increases in value for a third consecutive week and for a fourth consecutive day. Three factors are contributing to the Dollar decline: The Fed’s upcoming interest cut, the Bank of Japan’s interest rate hike and the political uncertainty in the US. The day’s best performing currency is the Japanese Yen which is currently increasing in value against all currencies. Currently, the USDJPY is trading below the trend-line and below the 100-Period SMA which indicates in the medium-term sellers are controlling the price actions. The exchange rate is also below the neutral on all oscillators and forms a clear bearish trend price pattern. Currently the only indications pointing towards a loss of bearish momentum is the diversion formed on the RSI. As a result, even though the trend clearly forms downwards, investors need to be cautious of a potential retracement. If the price trades above 152.96, a larger retracement becomes likely. However, if the price falls below 152.015, momentum will indicate the continuation of the downward trend to 151.674 in the short term and 151.267 thereafter. The likelihood of further monetary policy tightening by the Japanese regulator is growing. Preliminary data for July showed an increase in business activity, indicating a recovery in the national economy. The consumer price index remains above the target level, reaching 2.8% in June, with the core indicator stabilizing around 2.6%. Officials are optimistic about maintaining these high levels, supported by significant wage increases. According to Reuters, Bank of Japan officials will discuss the possibility of raising the interest rate at their meeting on July 31st. Analysts do not expect active measures until after the summer months. However, investors will price in the adjustment before the decision takes place. The US Fed experts may turn to “dovish” rhetoric in September, which puts pressure on the dollar. Currently, inflation is slowing growth, business activity is declining, and the labor market is showing signs of cooling. The US PMI data from yesterday largely triggered an attempted bullish correction but was viewed as mixed. The price action of the US Dollar and the USDJPY will now largely depend on the Gross Domestic Product and Weekly Unemployment Claims. These will be made public at 12:30 GMT. Analysts expect the US economy to grow 2.0%. If the US GDP reading is lower than expectations, the US Dollar potentially can come under pressure. At the same time, weaker earnings data from the US can trigger higher demand for the Japanese Yen. The Yen is known as a safe haven currency alternative to the Dollar.

    • The cheat is on ! ... just sayin’.   This cycle it only needs to occur in 2 states, and in those 2 states in only 14 precincts... the organized  ‘machines’ for these cheats have been in been in place for decades... And here’s a tiny counter balance to a massive psyop narrative being perpetrated 24 7... as predicted the "entertaining ourselves to death" show is on full blast with the media re-creating Kasmella Devil as a firebrand ‘gettrdone’ kind of woman.  In reality, she is not a leader.  At work, no one wants to work for or with her or negotiate with her.  For this potus application - worse she is just a follower... a whore who is putty in the hands of the exploiters who ‘own’ her... the same ppl who owned and ‘managed’ Joe.  She is just a team member of probably the most corrupt, evil administration in history.  She is only good for regurgitating whatever narrative is handed her - until very recently how superbly fit Joe is, how the border was visited and secure, etc. etc.   She is not in charge of her vp office and duties... and now she will not even be in charge of her own party or campaign... she’s simply not sufficiently competent. As AG of CA she was a puppet who nudged along the social engineering policies that made that beautiful state the ugly mess it is today - esp the cities.   And, btw, by Willie fkng her way to the top, she has placed herself in a position where she can’t really get too deep into calling Donald a predator...cause she’s ‘paying’ as a ‘victim’ / being paid off the same way as Stormy... whoa. .. and lest you are ready to stereotype me and my positions - In my view, this election is not about preventing the decline of the USA.  That decline trajectory was established many decades ago and stabilized by the mid 1970’s.   There is no making America great again.  This election is about either hastening the end or tapping the brakes a little bit on the inevitable decline of the USA.  So - if you think her promises that the “middle class is our main priority” are real or if you think America is 1 man away from greatness again, well I have a finely designed bridge in Baltimore for sale ... best offer...
