3 Foolproof Methods For Long Term Forex Trading


Are there any foolproof methods for long term Forex trading? Well...there
are, but they only work for people who are not fools! Foolproof methods
of Forex trading exist for those who realize that the Forex market is
bigger than they are; for those who are going to engage in strict money
management; and for those who understand that they need to actually
stick with their chosen strategy and not flit about with impatience when
 they take a few inevitable losses. Long term trading on the Forex is
the only authentic way to make money. Going for the "Big Money" with one
 or just a handful of trades is the way to biting the dust, not the way
to that big money that you seek. Therefore, if you're nobody's fool, you
 will want to use methods of Forex trading that keep you focused on
making long term profits-so you will have to go for and expect smaller
gains and a gradual building of your Forex fortune. You will sometimes
have luck on your side and make a big killing in one day, but then again
 losses are inevitable, too, in this highly volatile market. Over the
long term, cutting your losses and mounting up your smaller gains is the
 only way that you can get rich in the Forex.So, let's look at the
"foolproof" basics of long term Forex trading.1. Trade the trends. There
 is possibly nothing more important to making money in the short and in
the long term with the Forex than trading on trends. Forget about the
usual error of trying to predict highs and lows. These are not only
nearly impossible to predict, but a new high or a new low is where the
new trending starts. When you spot-not predict, mind you, but spot-a new
 high or low, a movement that ends an old resistance point by at least
three pips, you probably have a new trend in the Forex market. This is
when you get in. Most investors, those who are trying to predict the
highs and lows, wait for the currency pair price to come back down, or
move back up, beyond the old resistance point, and then it's tool late.
They failed to understand a trend. They lost out on most of the
opportunities to make profits, and they often take heavy losses from
this folly, too. Spend your time learning how to accurately spot trends
and you'll make money in the Forex.2. Swing trading. Swing trading is
likely the best method for the novice Forex trader. This is because it
doesn't require the discipline or the experience with trend-spotting
that trend investing does. Swing trading is about looking for a price
spike either up or down, then mentally defining a particular area of
resistance and support, and then watching like a hawk for the momentum
to shift while the level holds before entering your trading signal.
Swing trades are for quick entry and quick exit. You only hold your
position most of the time from two to seven days. Swing trading works,
ironically, because of folly. But not your folly. It works because short
 term price spikes get caused by emotional trading driving the pair
price too far too quickly; and as a result, the prices very soon return
to fair value. You as the swing trader seek to over-by and over-sell the
 resistance and support levels and then trade into them.

3. Confirmation. This is a part of trading the trends, but it should be
viewed as a method in its own right. Confirmation means confirming
breakouts (newly starting trends) so that you don't get fooled by false
(illusory) breakouts, which as you can imagine do sometimes occur. (A
new trend fails to materialize as anticipated.) Confirmation involves
the placement of a few momentum indicators and using them to more deeply
 analyze whether a perceived trend is likely to materialize. The two
most important movement indicators for you to learn as a novice are the
RSI and the stochastic movement indicator.
There you have it. Practice and master these three foolproof methods for
 Forex trading and over time you could become very rich indeed.

Hope You Enjoyed It
