Forex Tips and Tricks for Beginners

Stepping onto the forex arena for the first time might feel a bit daunting, but keep these currency trading tips in mind and you’ll soon find yourself running with the pack.
  1. Casinos are for gamblers. The forex  markets are for traders who are interested in the investment, not the big win. Study and analysis will prove a far better ally than long odds or luck.
  2. Practice makes perfect. Before you start throwing your money into an account, practice with one or more of a variety of demo accounts. This the most critical of all  forex tips for the new trader. Get good at analyzing and actual trading before you start plunking down your own funds.
  3. Find a good broker. Do your homework and find a broker that fits your trading style and philosophy and offers the features and services you want.
  4. Don’t buck the trend. Trends mean that more of the same is up ahead. Keeping with a trend will help you continue to make a profit. Generally, when the trend is up, don’t sell; when the trend is down, don’t buy.
  5. Check your emotions at the door.  Forex is about methodical analysis of the market trends, not about searching for the next hot trade. The trader who lets his or her emotions take control is the one who will watch profits drop and losses skyrocket.
  6. Overwhelmed traders make mistakes. If you find that the data sitting in front of you is too much to handle, then stand up, walk out, and take a break. Then, back up a few steps and go to a place in the process where you feel comfortable. Stay there for a while, and take baby-steps when you’re ready to move up.
  7. Guarantees are like unicorns and leprechauns – they don’t exist in this world. If someone tries to tell you that they have forex secrets, like a system, trick, or bot that guarantees a profit, you have only one thing to do: Run away – far, far away.
  8. Patience really is a virtue. Of all currency trading strategies, this last tip is one of the most important. Don’t expect to make your money all at once. Build it slowly over a large spread, by using consistent money management, and you’ll be able to weather almost any forex storm.

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...
