How to Develop the Best Forex Trading System for You


The best Forex trading system is a combination of currency trading strategies that fit your style, temperament, and risk management. There is no one “best” Forex trading strategy in making profits in the currency markets. However, there are many excellent systems that have been developed and are being used every trading day. Each one was custom tailored by the person who is enjoying the profitable results it produces.
Take the Time

To make money in the Forex markets, you need to develop your own Forex trading system. This means taking the time to get Forex training available throughout the Internet, as well as through brokers and other educational sources. There’s a gold mine of Forex courses available. But as the old saying goes “no pain, no gain.” You have to take the time to study all the technical and fundamental factors that affect Forex trading in order to develop the currency trading strategies that will make you money.

Forex Trading Essentials

Limiting your losses, allowing your profits to run, and properly identifying your entry and exit points, are essential to any system. A proper forex education will allow you to develop a system that takes your emotions out of your trading, minimizing your mistakes. A proper background in chart analysis, moving averages, and other indicators, is what is needed to produce successful results. You must have the discipline to use these tools to become a successful trader.

Valuable Information
Information is king in Forex trading. The uninformed always lose. You have to have a good trading platform together with the proper software to obtain the information that will help you make your decisions with speed and accuracy. Your success will entirely be dependent on how effectively you recognize and exploit trading signals. One must be able to expect and determine what will happen in the future. Through your analysis of the available information, you’ll be able to calculate the probabilities of profit and loss on any individual trade. With proper risk management, currency trading strategies can be developed to produce wonderful results.

Managing your Forex Trading Risk
All trading entails risk, and as such, risk management is essential. Developing a Forex trading system and standing by your strategy will yield greater results; decisions based on fear rather than a predetermined Forex trading strategy will always result in failure. Keeping your emotions out, will help minimize your Forex trading risks. You should always limit the major risks, and never risk more than a few percent of the money you have available on any single trade. If you risk too much money on your trades, you will quickly lose your capital and be unable to trade. You must have funds to participate in the market to generate profits, and thus, preservation is as important as profit. Always have the intention to trade for a long period of time with consistently limited risks.

Forex Trading Psychology -vs- Forex Trading Method

Did you ever see the movie The Italian Job, and if so do you remember when John Bridger asked: “You see those pillars over there, that’s where they used to string up thieves who felt fine.” Make the transition from paper trading to real money trading and you will feel FINE too – Freaked-out Insecure Neurotic and Emotional. And what a great analogy ‘string up’ is, because after all those months of paper trading winners are replaced with real money losses, that is exactly what you will feel like doing to yourself. The Trading Psychology Viewpoint No discussion about trading, or the consideration to begin trading, can be done without a harsh realization - the vast majority of all traders lose. It is said that the reason that most traders lose is because they are not psychologically prepared to trade, that is they are not prepared to accept financial risk for something of which they have no control over the outcome. Forex Trading is much more of a psychological problem then a methodologica...

Extreme TMA System

The market, like a pendulum, is a never ending sequence of extremes. It forever tries to reach the mean but never succeeds, constantly overshooting it´s mark, reversing and trying it again but always failing to reach balance. This system attempts to capture those extremes. It is a compendium of my understanding of the market, brought to it´s simplest expression. The principles are not complicated. The first indicator, the TMA shows us the average of the path that the price action in the market is following. As such, it is a backward looking indicator and attempts to determine the future from the recent history. It corrects itself by repainting itself. It has two outer bands that show us the outer boundaries of price movement that we are searching for. Our second indicator, the TMA Slope indicator will show us the relative change in the slope of TMA as compared to previous candles. It determines in which direction a trade must be placed and also shows divergences to price. For examp...

What's more important: Trading Method or Trading Psychology?

Ancient argument: What's determines success in trading: A successful methodology  Psychology and discipline?  Answer: BOTH! But this is not a "chicken or egg" dilemma. Clearly in this case method comes before mind. I don't care how much self-discipline you have. If you don't have a viable trading methodology, then you will lose money. So method is more important. Well, maybe "more important" isn't the right phrase to use. But it definitely comes first. The reason I say it may not be more important is because there are many valid trading methodologies available. Yet ironically, traders keep jumping from one method to another ... one indicator after another  one book after another  one mentor after another  one seminar after another  This is the infamous "search for the Holy Grail." Sorry ... doesn't exist. Like most things in life, people keep looking for the answer outside of themselves, w...
