A Guide To Foreign Currency Trading

While foreign currency trading offers its rewards, especially when you are able to trade in major currencies like the US dollars and Euro, caution against advertisements and brokers that offer instant riches must be observed. 

There is move to regulate foreign currency traders. Unfortunately, not all in the industry are registered. Not entirely illegal, many unregistered brokers populate the financial markets. Extra precaution is suggested for individuals and companies when they deal with forex brokers. 

The United States has passed a federal law, the Commodity Futures Modernization Act of 2000 that gives authority to the commission to investigate suspicions of frauds in the transactions. 

Frauds in Forex trading have telltale signs and you must be aware of these. Be wary of schemes that offer quick riches. An experienced Forex brokers will tell you currency trading is not a risk free business and only those with real analytical methods can succeed in the field. And, even when projections seem sound, there is no way of telling exactly how strong a currency will hold out against many factors. So watch out for those who promise large profits no matter the economic condition is. 

Most brokers ask for margin investments. If you are not fully aware of how this works, do not venture into it. You may be losing s more than you earn in the long run. Beware also of the "interbank market" service that brokers may offer. In reality, only large banks, corporations and investment institutions have access to this loose network of currency traders. 

To be sure about the credibility of the brokers you are getting, study their profiles and company background seriously and extensively. Stick with a shortlist of firms that are registered with the regulatory commission on commodity futures.

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...

Go ahead, but please don't post screenshots of comparisons in this thread. Entries, Exits, and Stops: Entry Guid...
