Whether you are my student or not I genuinely care about your Forex Education. More importantly I'm passionate about every one obtaining a solid financial education - a skill sorely missing in the world. I chose Forex because of the numerous advantages over the other liquid financial markets. It has allowed me to achieve a high level of financial literacy and provide an outlet for my long held desire to teach.

More importantly, Forex education and training has given me the confidence to control my financial future - and that is truly priceless. That being said, we must look past the hype in the marketplace and focus on what it really takes to personally achieve in the Forex market or any endeavor for that matter.

I'm not going to lie to you, trading Forex is not easy. But not for the reasons you may thing. I've found that in the end we are the ones that will ultimately decide to be successful or not. I know lawyers who have failed miserably in Forex and construction workers who are now millionaires. The separator is not IQ, but rather emotional discipline or Self-Mastery. Where is this obtained?

Your Forex education is the key!

Learning yourself will increase your bottom line more than any other single aspect. Let me just preview what emotional elements must be in place for you to succeed in Forex. You will notice that there is no mention of strategy, moving averages or pivot points!

1. Have A Strong Enough "Why" Statement

Why do you want to get your Forex education and trade the currency market? Is it to save for retirement? Is it to supplement your current income? Is it to replace your current job? Are you trying to accelerate your college fund?
The answer to this question must be strong and full of passion! This will be the one element that will get you through the dark times all traders face.

2. You Must Create Momentum

When you begin learning to trade Forex it is exciting and new, but like everything there is a finite Honeymoon period and the effort begins to wade and life takes you away from your Forex education. You must create momentum - pick a time in your schedule and dedicate this to study and trading and continue to focus on the process of trading. Making money should be a secondary thought to placing sound trades.
Imagine where you are going to be six months from now with a solid commitment. Hold on to that thought and never let it go. Work, kids, friends and family - we all go 'em . Don't let excuses creep in and steal your dream.

3. Overcome Any Obstacles

Listen, nobody is exempt from having to climb the learning curve to achieving in Forex. There are no short cuts. Forex education is the best path. I came across a system the other day that is being marketed as a system that "you don't have to learn" to begin trading in your live account immediately. Just watch a video for 10 minutes and you are good to go! Warning!! The sad thing is that the system appeared to built on sound principals, but no system is fool-proof and without your Forex education your risk is 100% if you do not understand when that system can fail!

Create a vision board of pictures that represent your "Why" statement. Put it within eyesight of your trading area. If you come to work in your car - stop listening to the radio and listen to a audio book, if you do not have the money to fund your live trading account continue trading your demo account until you can fund a live account - you will be in better position than 99.9% of the traders who fund an account right away. This why having a coach is so important.

4. Don't Play The Blame Game

You must from this second forward begin to take full responsibility for all your actions. If a trade didn't work out, don't blame the market or the strategy. Playing the blame game will be devastating to your experience. Look at each situation as a learning experience. I always say that in life there are no failures only feedback! I always ask one simple question after both a losing trade and a wining trade:

"What lesson do I need to learn from this to become a better trader?"

5. Don't Quit On Yourself

It's your dream and I want to fight for it with you, because I know what a mistake it would be to just give up and quit. If you quit you will ultimately learn nothing and would've missed an opportunity to turn your "Why" into your reality!

All you need is a Forex coach.

Happy Trading!!

There is no specific target as I dont know where the price is heading. Adjust stop loss to the lowest/highest value of every pullback/retrace.

I teach a lot of traders and at the beginning they all have the same question...

How long will it take me to learn this? How much time can I expect to spend on my Forex education.

You know there is no answer to this. There are many variables to this answer, but it really comes down to the qualities needed to overcome most obstacle -- patience, determination, persistence and perseverance.

I know, yeah but..

Yeah, we have all those qualities, but we still want to accelerate the process. My recommendation is to live at the razor's edge. If you have traded Forex for any time you will realize that the difference between profit and loss is literally a razor's edge. With experience comes minor tweaking of our trading process until we have found consistency. Consistency gained through Forex training.

It's kind of like baseball (my favorite trading - sports analogy). If you are a .320 batter your baseball career you will most likely be elected to the Hall of Fame and bestowed major accolades. If you hit .280 everyone will tell you that you had a nice career, but no Hall of Fame call will come your way.

The difference between the two is that the .320 hitter got one more hit every 15 at bats .. that's it!

A minor increase in your Forex education is all that it will take for you to gain access into the Hall of Fame for Traders. Commit to yourself that you will read another chapter of the technical analysis book tonight, or spend 30 more minutes in your trading room will lead to astonishing returns down the road.

It is the little things that will ultimately give you the edge.

Happy Trading!!

From the way i see it. Usd/Jpy strength is broken but the uptrend is still intact. Anyone care for a high risk entry??

Short UJ @ 123.70 or better
Stop Loss : On your own
Target : This is going to be a big one

And before i forget, EurJpy and GbpJpy is riding on the trendline. Not broken yet but if all goes well we will see it broken by tonight. Then we have the usual ranging market before a new trend is born.

Happy trading.

This is a picture of Eur/Usd 4H chart on Marketiva platform. See the candle in the red circle. It has a long tail down which touch 1.3370. The price move within seconds down and up again. My Stop Loss was set at 1.3373 at that moment and it stopped out. Below is a picture of Eur/Usd 4H from North Finance. As you can see, North Finance did not register the same sudden price move.



If I am not mistaken, this is the forex market where the rates are the same all over the world. So why is it that Marketiva have that sudden price jump and North Finance did not register it at all.

Eventhough I was stopped out but I still get out with 50 pip profit and i did not enter again as the strength of the trend isnt worth it. Btw my target for that trade was 1.3450. To enter the market again for a maximum gain of another 50 pip isnt worth the risk as the trend isnt strong enough. Any of you had the same problem with marketiva?

For the past few weeks, ive been bz with work. As a result I wasnt able to concentrate on trading. So far so good, my account is still in profit.I just need another 30% to meet my target for this month which is 100% profit a month. Most of the time I manage to achieve that target but sometimes I failed.

Last friday before I board a plane to Sandakan, I enter a trade long Eur/Usd and at the moment its up 63 pip. Hopefully all goes well and EU will have another rally.

My current position is:

Long Eur/Usd @ 1.3323.
SL 1.3300
Target 1.3400.

Next monday I have to adjust the Stop Loss since it cannot be done on weekend. Btw project 1 hour system has been scrap. It is so difficult to tade using lower timeframe that I have decided to stick to 4H and above.

Happy Trading.

Online currency trading in increasing in popularity and with that comes the good, the bad and the “you know what.” Like any business venture there are people out there waiting to take advantage of you and people who genuinely want to help.

Some people hocking learn to trade packages are internet marketers riding the wave of a hot market in search of profits off of someone else’s products. Others are skilled professional seeking to satisfy the teacher in all of us.

How do you get the necessary skills to become a successful Forex trader? How do you know which product or system is the Holy Grail?

The truth is that this does not exist!

Get your Forex education.

The simple truth is that the Forex market is made of human beings and price is nothing more than a representation of supply and demand, which is nothing more than the collective fear and greed the market perceives of a currency pairs value.

That’s it!

I have heard statistics as high as 95% of Forex traders lose money, so logic will tell you to focus in what the 5% are doing for consistent success. They know their system, execute high probability trades, and manage their risk. Most importantly they know themselves inside and out and how their emotions impact their trading.

Notice I said consistent success. So how is consistency found? Well, not in books, surfing the net or even the going it alone approach. Going it alone is the craziest of all. It will succeed if you are willing to lose your account over and over again until YOU figure it out or quit! Which scenario is more likely?

Let’s draw some examples from other professions that require peak performance under pressure. First, thing that comes to mind is professional sports. What do all professional athletes have in common, regardless of the sport? They all have a coach.

Whether the athlete participates in a team or individual sport they all have a coach! A coach is a teacher, a coach can serve as a motivator, and a coach can point out constructive feedback for improvement.

Let’s turn to another profession, business executives. One of the fastest growing industries in business is the business coach. High performance in the business world is critical and now more and more executives are turning to coaches for the same reason as professional athletes.
The moment of truth lies with the trader. The simple reason a Forex coach is valuable is because they are not you. They are not in the fish bowl with you. A coach can impart trading expertise and guide you through the process of Forex trading. A coach will connect you with yourself and maximize your performance.

So when searching for Forex education and online training, seek out education packages that cover strategy, risk management and will introduce you to your trader inside. Seek out those that teach through coaching and are there with you step-by-step.

You are playing the only game that will reward you when you are correct and implement severe penalties when you are wrong. Don’t leave anything to chance. Invest in yourself by investing in your Forex education.

Happy Trading!!

Here goes. Signal based on my new 1 hour system.

Gbp/Usd
Short GU @ 1.9921.
SL 1.9951
Hold till trend end.

This is a high risk trade based on my new 1 hour system.

For the longest time, ive been trading using 4h and longer time frame becoz its too difficult trading the lower timeframe. Now ive develop a system for 1h and lower timeframe. I need someone to forward test it. Interested email me at greengo746@gmail.com

This oscillator, a version of the stochastics oscillator, was developed by Larry Williams.

Interpretation Mr. Williams indicates that the essence of his trading system is based on interpreting readings of %R. He states that, "Generally speaking, readings below 95% give a buy indication - during bull markets. A reading above 10% gives a sell signal during bear markets." He goes on to say that "the %R index will not work if you insist on acting on the buy signals during a bear market." He emphasizes strongly the need to isolate the dominant trend - whether it is a bull or bear trend. Then he tracks price movements with %R and waits for the signals. (See his book, "How I made One Million Dollars... Last Year... Trading Commodities" by Larry R. Williams.)

To determine the long term trend for commodity or futures markets, Mr. Williams advocates the use of a 10-week moving average. The indicator is now popular in most markets and has proven itself useful with stocks.

Like other momentum indicators, Williams %R is not very useful in a sideways market, or trading range. The market needs to be trending up or down for the signals to be reliable.


Signals
Mr. Williams bases his system largely on the use of the following two signals (once again notice that the signal is reliant on the direction of the underlying long-term trend): • Buy when %R hits 90% to 100% and the trend is up.
• Sell when %R hits 10% to 0% and the trend is down.


Some traders use readings below 80% to indicate oversold markets and readings above 20% to indicate overbought markets. These levels can also be used as early warning signals.

In a blow-off market, where prices have undergone a very steep rise, Mr. Williams suggests waiting before responding to %R. For example, he suggests acting on buy signals (assuming the long term trend is up) only after:

1. %R has hit 100%, 2. Five trading days have passed since the 100% reading was hit, and 3. %R again falls below 95%.

Mr. Williams assures us that not all signals will be correct; there are no perfect indices. "Yet," he continues, "%R remains the best timing tool I have ever used for determining overbought and oversold markets."

Williams %R has proven very useful in anticipating market reversals. The indicator almost always forms a peak and turns down a few days before the price peaks and turns down. And vice versa for bottoming markets.

Here is an interesting video called "The Money Masters - How International Bankers Gained Control of America" It is a long view so you may want to rip it ot a DVD.
