Trader Resources

Traders require strategies and resources to help determine when is the best time to enter trades.  Trader's can protect their trading capital and ensure profits by:

  • Having a trading strategy with clearly defined entry and exit guidelines
  • Having a sound money management plan
  • Taking advantage of the online resources that are available to them

Trader's should consider the following when preparing to trade:

Daily Ranges

Currencies that are moving a large number of pips per day are more likely to provide the trader with trading opportunities over those currencies that have small daily ranges. The more that a market is moving, the better the chance that profit can be made from the market. It is easier for a trader to get a small amount of pips per week on a currency that has a larger total daily movement than a currency that does not move many pips per day. For example, it is easier to get 50 pips out of a 300 pip daily range currency than to get 50 pips out of a 100 pip daily range currency.

Long Term Market Trend

Overall market direction is an important criteria for understanding where the market may move in the short term. Looking at the longer term shows the major direction of market movement. If looking at long term time frames, which have the same general trend, it can be expected that major market impulses will be in the direction of those trends. Traders should also look at long term timeframes to identify potential points of support and resistance and to see if the market is contracting or range bound. This allows Traders to adjust profit targets and trading strategies based upon market conditions.

World Time

The world times give an indication to the trader which currency markets of the Foreign Exchange are open. Traders should be wary of trading outside of a currencies market times as markets tend to be thin (low volume of traders) at these times.

Entry and Exit Criteria

Knowing when and when not to trade and when to exit a trade is the goal of currency trading. A trader can improve the probability of making successful trades through the use of well defined Entry and Exit criteria.  The FXTG Indicator Package allows a trader to use innovative technical analysis techniques to enter and exit the market.
