Pivot Point Trading

January 30th, 2010

One of my favorite Forex Trading Tips is one that every Forex Trader can put in their arsenal of forex trading strategies to incorporate into their forex day trading techniques is the pivot point forex trading system.

Pivot points are support and resistance levels that are calculated using the open, high, low, and close of the previous trading day. The pivot points include the pivot point itself, six full support and resistance points, and four half way support and resistance points, and are collectively referred to as the pivot points. When the price approaches a pivot point (especially for the first time in each direction), it will have a tendancy to reverse, and it is this reversal that is used by the pivot point bounce trading system.

The default trading time is any time that the market is open, but for best results the market should be active, such as during the European morning for European markets, and during the US morning for US markets. But keep in mind that if you use a forex indicator on your metatrader platform, that it will most likely calculate the daily pivots based upon your forex brokers time clock on their market watch, so you might consider placing and naming the pivot points manually youself.

A worthy note worth mention is that this, along with many other forex day trading methods is that it requires constant vigilance and discipline to monitor the market to enter the trade. The good news is that once you are in a trade, you are in the trade, and you might as well walk away, take a breather and trust your stops and take profit setpoints.

I am pleased to say that I will soon unveil a systematic approach that will eliminate the long periods of time monitoring the market in order to trade, plus it will limit your exposure and risk to the market while maximizing your profits!

I am including this video on forex pivot trading that I found to give great examples. Feel free to check out this guys page, but you are going to be disappointed at the cost of his help. Again, soon I will unveil a systematic approach that will be easy on your wallet. After all, the foreign currency exchange has potential for massive incomes from little investment, so don’t spend thousands on services that will detract from what you can invest in your own forex account to make money.

Until next post, many pips to you!

Forex Trading Tip – Fibonacci Trading

January 23rd, 2010

Hey, Ron here. I just wanted to give you an example of Fibonacci Trading. There is a lot of information on Fibonacci Trading on the internet. I recommend www.babypips.com  which has a wealth of information and Forex Trading Tips.

Also I included a video from one of the brokers that I use that has some great examples of how the market moves and how to make money in forex using this trading strategy. Fear and greed is often attributed to many of the market movements and the key is to separate yourself from these emotions and to identify the movement in order to capitalize from that movement. The problem that I encounter with fibo trading is that I find it to be a little lagging and get emotional during the retrace, like is it going to just go to the 382, or blow by it and go all the way to the 618? Or will it look like it is going to the 618 and stall out just beyond the 50? And all this takes patience and time, lots of time, which is counteractive to why I got into trading in the first place. If there were only a way to trade without emotion that doesn’t take a lot of time hawking the computer, minimize risk and maximize profit!

Forex Trading Tips

January 21st, 2010

The forex market has an average daily turnover in global foreign exchange markets estimated at $3.98 trillion and is the most liquid market in the world. Banks, Hedge Fund Speculators, Central Banks, Retail Traders (that’s people like me and you), and more make up this market that is bigger than all the other stock markets combined.

The big boys (banks and such) drive the market while retail traders are just riding the wave. Because retail traders are merely spectators and not market makers, most of us rely on Forex Trading Tips, looking for Forex Strategies, and Forex Trading Systems.
