Forex Trading

The Complete Series!

As is well known, currency markets are determined by news. However, since news is rare, most currency pairs move sideways 80% of the time. In other words: it is very difficult to trade currencies profitably with trend strategies. The "Forex Trading" series therefore deals with strategies that are specifically designed for sideways markets.

Heikin Ashi Trader also discusses why traders who specialize in forex trading tend to trade only one strategy at a time. They do this because they believe it is superior to other trading methods. Unfortunately, this approach makes them vulnerable to the ups and downs of this single strategy.

However, by distributing profit and loss over several strategies, the trader creates an indifference towards the series of losses of each single strategy. If he looks at it as an investment security in his portfolio, just like a stock or a fund, he gets a more objective view on what is going on in the markets.
