We Should Control Forex Trading

Recommended Posts

Foreign exchange is an opportunity to make a fortune and in same time it is an opportunity to loose our money, we can make a fortune if we knew how to handle Forex, if we don't know how to control Forex it will destroy us, so we must be stronger than it, and if we don't know how to control it with our own hands it will destroy us too. So how I can be stronger than this ferocious beast? It is simply by learning, observing, and practicing.

people are ready to give millions just to see a few seconds ahead...

 

Even though we give millions we will not be able to see a few seconds ahead.. We have to anticipate and try to forecast the market. We should have a good knowledge about high/low resistance. But still it would be difficult. :)

Oddly, I don't get a sense of deliberate single minded focus in your tone that I would expect from "difficult". I DO however get a sense of uncertainty from you, as well as the obvious frustration... which leads me to conclude that really your in one of just 3 possible situations:

 

1. You don't really have a good understanding of what support and resistance levels are very likely to hold, and which ones are likely to just break away once the market touches them. If this is your situation, I would suggest you check out No Brainer Trades - Trading Forex and Other Markets Using Globally Identifiable Actions - Look around, and you'll find some great articles about support and resistance, and what to factor in when determining if a level is probably going to hold, or if it's probably going to give away and have price rip right through it.

 

2. You have allowed yourself to become very emotionally charged up during a recent trade (or series of recent trades) to the point where you went both long and short probably many times at the same level and around the same period of time.... and with each time you changed your mind, you felt more out of control, and more discouraged about your trading abilities. If this is the case, I suggest giving yourself some rules to follow regarding order entry, and executions. Even if you change your rules every single day...this could still be workable as long as you've considered how much your rules allow you to risk, and that you will be able and willing to follow your rules that trading day. Over time, with experience, you will find a better way to determine what parameters and risk amounts you are "comfortable with"...but until you have the experience to do so... your going to need to start with some hard rules on a daily basis.

 

3. You've probably lost a lot of money (or at least what felt like a lot of money to you).... and this further compounded the hopeless and/or disappointing feeling you experinced when you were totally confused and frustrated by the markets price action. If this is the case, you need to STOP TRADING WITH REAL MONEY RIGHT NOW. That is a pressure that can literally drive some to suicide, and you are clearly not anywhere close to being prepared to handle the additional pressures of real money. Nor does it sound like you have a significant edge at the momenth... though it seems you have some basic understanding of price action, and S/R...so you wlll likely get there if you want it bad enough. But until you can papertrade with some real, sustained success (probably at least a few months....ideally 6 months or more)... than trading with real money is only going to intensify your emotions...especially the bad emotions.

 

Take away the money, and this will take away much of the emotion. It will put you in a place where you can keep a relaxed, open mind, which is what you need most of all now as you try to learn how to read the markets, and profit from the opportunities that arise.

 

Good luck. You'll need it, and a whole lot more... but if you really want this, it's very possible for many people.

what is wrong with that? unless you are born with millions (or adopted by a movie star) you have to work hard...

you can be a part-time programmer, teacher etc, if you have necessary skills..being part-time trader is not different..you have to learn first. however, this does not guarantee anything because knowing and using that knowledge are different things;)

    • Date: 25th April 2024. Investors Monitor a Potential Japanese Intervention, and upcoming Tech Earnings. Meta stocks top earnings expectations, but revenue guidance for the next 6 months triggers significant selloff. Meta stocks decline 15.00% and the Magnificent Seven also trade lower. Japanese Authorities are on watch and most market experts predict the Japanese Federal Government will intervene once again. The Japanese Yen is the day’s worst performing currency while the Australian Dollar continues to top the charts. The US Dollar trades 0.10% lower, but this afternoon’s performance is likely to be dependent on the US GDP. USA100 – Meta Stocks Fall 15% On the Next 6-Months Guidance The NASDAQ has declined 1.51% over the past 24 hours, unable to maintain momentum from Monday and Tuesday. Technical analysts advise the decline is partially simply a break in the bullish momentum and the asset continues to follow a bullish correction pattern. However, if the decline continues throughout the day, the retracement scenario becomes a lesser possibility. In terms of indications and technical analysis, most oscillators, and momentum-based signals point to a downward price movement. The USA100 trades below the 75-Bar EMA, below the VWAP and the RSI hovers above 40.00. All these factors point towards a bearish trend. The bearish signals are also likely to strengthen if the price declines below $17,295.11. The stock which is experiencing considerably large volatility is Meta which has fallen more than 15.00%. The past quarter’s earnings beat expectations and according to economists, remain stable and strong. Earnings Per Share beat expectations by 8.10% and revenue was as expected. However, company expenses significantly rose in the past quarter and the guidance for the second half of the year is lower than previous expectations. These two factors have caused investors to consider selling their shares and cashing in their profits. Meta’s decline is one of the main causes for the USA100’s bearish trend. CFRA Senior Analyst, Angelo Zino, advises the selloff may be a slight over reaction based on earnings data. If Meta stocks rise again, investors can start to evaluate a possible upward correction. However, a concern for investors is that more and more companies are indicating caution for the second half of the year. The price movements will largely now depend on Microsoft and Alphabet earnings tonight after market close. Microsoft is the most influential stock for the NASDAQ and Alphabet is the third. The two make up 14.25% of the overall index. If the two companies also witness their stocks decline after the earnings reports, the USA100 may struggle to gain upward momentum. EURJPY – Will Japan Intervene Again? In the currency market, the Japanese Yen remains within the spotlight as investors believe the Japanese Federal Government is likely to again intervene. The Federal Government has previously intervened in the past 12 months which caused a sharp rise in the Yen before again declining. The government opted for this option in an attempt to hinder a further decline. Volatility within the Japanese Yen will also depend on today’s US GDP reading and tomorrow’s Core PCE Price Index. However, investors will more importantly pay close attention to the Bank of Japan’s monetary policy. Investors will be keen to see if the central bank believes it is appropriate to again hike in 2024 as well as comment regarding inflation and the economy. In terms of technical analysis, breakout levels can be considered as areas where the exchange rate may retrace or correct. Breakout levels can be seen at 166.656 and 166.333. However, the only indicators pointing to a decline are the RSI and similar oscillators which advise the price is at risk of being “overbought”. Always trade with strict risk management.
