The Best Forex Strategies for Maximum Profit

By James Smith

In today's recession hit equities markets, there aer now countless forex strategies out there in the market today, and it is very hard for a novice foreign currency dealer to pick one which he knows will be profitable without losing a large sum of money making expensive mistakes. A good tip for a foreign currency dealer looking for a winning solution is to use multiple forex strategies - this way he is able to diversify his risk, and then see them in action before having to choose which one he will trade with on a full time basis.

Whatever forex strategies a forex trader employs will depend on his personal preferences. Some strategies may work for one but won't for the other. This is because every forex trader wants to realize profits in their own way and in their own pace. Using these forex strategies will surely help the investor make his choice in what stocks to buy and when to buy them.

The first thing a forex trader needs to be aware of is that the forex market does not have any centralized exchange for trading, which means that pertinent information needed by forex traders, such as volume, and details of buyers and sellers, will not be available to them. They have to rely on other fundamental and technical market information to be able to place profitable trades.

Instututional foreign exchange professionals, however, have the massive edge of seeing the order book at a specific bank, which means that they know when their own clients are going to place big trades, and at what price. This is why retail foreign exchange professionals have to be sharper and more ruthless if they want to be ahead and beat the interbank foreign exchange professionals, as they have a huge advantage over the average retail trader.

No matter how good the forex strategies are that the forex trader has chosen, it is useless unless we are effective with our trading. I was always blaming the forex strategies for my losses when I first started out as a forex trader but when I look back on it the problem was that I was not being consistent with my trading, and not employing good risk management.

It takes an extremely disciplined foreign currency dealer to be able to stick to their forex strategies and trade without emotions such as fear and greed entering their foreign exchange dealing decisions. When you bring human emotion to the table it changes the patterns of your foreign exchange dealing system and can change the results. If your emotions aren't right for dealing it usually alters your dealing, and not in a good way, often turns a profitable dealing strategy into one which costs you a lot of money.

Another problem with foreign exchange dealing is the market operates 24 hours a day, and never stops to sleep. While this is an advantage in some ways it can also be a big disadvantage. The disadvantage for a foreign currency dealer is you cannot watch the market all the time. You can't be there to take all your deal signals. This alone can mean that a number of forex strategies are impossible to follow, if you are sleeping when the strategy gives you a trade, unless you are working with a team of people who can monitor the markets day and night.

Finally, it should be noted that forex trading is not for everyone. I don't know about you but I don't want to spend my life watching charts and I decided a while back that being a forex trader is really not for most people. One solution is to identify forex strategies which use automated programs called robots that will monitor the markets for you 24 hours a day and do the forex trading for you automatically. Using such a system they will enter and exit your trades when the market gives them the signals. For the busy forex trader looking for profitable forex strategies, this is often the ideal forex trading solution. - 23221
