Forex Robots - Best Five Automated Currency Trading Software Programs by Peter Charles

"Forex Robots" seem to be all the rage on the Internet these days. Just Google it and see how many results you get. I got about 5 million for the broad search and over 200,000 for the exact phrase query. That tells you the huge amount of interest in these things are today.
If you don't know already, a Forex Robot is a software program that is alleged to automatically make successful trades for you in the foreign currency exchange. You buy the program, set it up on your home computer, hit the GO button and watch the money roll in. Or so they say.
Personally I do not know much about currency trading, but I learned a little when I was doing some research on them. I wanted to know what all the fuss was about so I started compiling and condensing the plethora of Forex Robot "reviews" on the web. In doing so, I sort of learned the basics of that market while trying to figure out what these robots do, how they do it, and if the claims of hands-free trading were true. I was skeptical, because I abide by the adage of "you don't get something for nothing."
I began by sussing out the current most popular robot program, FAP Turbo. I read loads of on-line reviews and testimonials, in addition to the product's hyper flashy website. Interestingly, the more I read, the more drawn in to this automated trading concept I got. I even began to think I should purchase this FAP Turbo thing and give it a try. It wouldn't have been a huge outlay of money being that its price is about $150. And I could get a full refund up until 60 days if I wanted. But before I impulsively jumped at this idea, I pulled back and thought it prudent to check out some of the other robots. This is when I was able to (very subjectively) make a list of the top five programs. Without going in to great detail here, this is what I came up with:
FAP Turbo Forex Ambush 2.0 Forex Funnel Forex Mega-Droid Forex AutoPilot I hope this helps with your research and decision making.
I ended up publishing a website, http://www.tlwoforexrobots.info with "reviews of the reviews" of these five. It's on this site that I explain how each one is claimed to work. So if you are at all interested in Forex Robots, I invite you to visit that website. You will get a simplified picture of what I think are the top five automated currency trading systems. If you were to do your own research on the web (and I still think you should do some), you could easily get bogged down with the millions of results.
Peter D. Charles takes issue with the countless product "reviews" on the web, and in this case those of Forex Robots. All of the pertinent information is condensed and cooked down to a simplified form, and published on his website, http://www.tlwoforexrobots.info This is just one product looked at of more to come.

The Key to Developing the Best Forex Trading Strategy by Chris M Lee

Before you plunge into one of the most liquid, unpredictable and profitable markets in the world, there are some things that you should know about before putting your money in the hands of a brokerage. When money is involved, there are a lot of things you should consider, and these are the key to developing the best Forex strategy, for you to start making a profit. For instance, there is a great deal of money management that must be put in place before you run off with a lot of hope in your pocket. Hope is not going to pay the bills. Your money is and you need to know when and how much of your money you are going to use.
Always set yourself some realistic targets and limits to ensure that you do not spend too much money. Also, do not fall prey to the gambling endemic that is afflicting many Forex traders - this means they simply cannot stop trading no matter how much they loose and they often make irrational decisions in order to 'win' back the money that they have lost. Set yourself some parameters and stick to them, you will regret the fact that you account has run dry and you start to owe the brokerage a sum of money. Also, always have some risk capital on hand so that when things do go wrong, you will be able to bail yourself out. The total sum of your investment and risk capital should be an amount that you are able to afford.
Nobody should go into trading with their life savings in tow. The capital you put into the commodities market should be capital you can spend and if you do lose, will not have an adverse affect on your life style. That said, Forex trading is all about watching market patterns and market psychology. Unlike normal and traditional commodities trading, many people would say that the Forex market falls into a pattern when it comes to either a crisis or an upheaval within currencies. Issues like inflation, political violence and economic decisions can adversely affect the performance of the currency pair you have chosen. But there is always a pattern and this pattern is the structure of many trading strategies of experienced investors. For example, you must learn that there are many 'safe' currencies in the market that investors flock to when there is wind of a calamity in global economies. This is just one aspect.
Market psychology is ruled by major decisions my collective moves in the market. Because of the fact that huge multicontinental banks are the biggest driving forces within the FX market, they have pre planned moves when situations come up. Your job as an investor is to read the signs and react accordingly. The good thing about Forex is that is a very liquid market, so you can pull out any time you want - or on the flip side can invest in a click of a mouse. With these in mind when investing, you will have the key to developing the best Forex trading strategy.

Forex Strategies - Understanding Market Cycles by Adrian

An important part of any traders' forex strategies is understanding the market cycles.So what are market cycles? Not knowing what market cycle you are in will affect your forex trading. Knowing the correct major market cycles is important for you and which forex trading system you should be using. As each market cycle requires a different approach from your forex trading system. There are three major market cycles and the ability to adapt to each market cycles is an important part of your forex strategy and will improve your profitability. So you need to understand how to determine market cycles if you want to become a successful trader. The three major market cycles are: 1) Trending, 2) Consolidation 3) BreakoutThe Three Market CyclesIt does not matter what financial market you are trading, the market can only move in these three cycles.A common saying amongst forex trade is "The Trend is your friend." Trending CycleTrending is when the market price moves in the same direction consistently in one direction either up or down. How a forex market trend is inherently defined? A trend can be defined as progressively higher lows and higher highs. Of course if the price movement consisted of a straight line either up or down, then identifying a trend would obviously be very easy. In real life, currency prices move do not move in one direction consistently, so denying forex traders and easy trend read. Consolidation CycleA Consolidation market cycle also known as Non Trending or Ranging market, which looks like a sideways / horizontal line of bars on a chart. Consolidating is when the market is struck between two horizontal support and resistance levels and cannot break these support / resistance levels for at least seven bars.You can use moving averages or other technical indicators to determine whether the market is consolidation or trending. In case of a consolidating market, the moving average line will almost be horizontal.Breakout CycleNow what is breaking out of a Consolidation? After the market has been consolidation for at least 7 bars and then the price sharply breaks out of this ranging market sharply to make a new high or low.That is basically it for the market cyclesHow does this affect your forex strategies...?The majority of forex traders only have a forex strategy for one or two market cycles. The most popular forex strategies being Trends and Breakouts.But recent research has shown that on average the forex market is in a trending cycle about 30% of the time, breakout cycle about 10% of the time and Consolidation for 60% of the time.So if your only forex strategy is for a trending market cycle then you will only be trading for 30% of the time and if you are one of the few that have more than one forex strategy with the most common being the trending and breakout strategies, then you will still be trading only 40% of the time.This means that you will be sitting on the sidelines for about 60% of the time. Whilst it is always important to have the patience to wait and pick high probability trades, waiting for the market to change cycles because you do not have a forex strategy for this market cycle does not make sense.Some forex traders will then get sucked into making trades with the wrong strategy into market cycles that the strategy just will not work in.This year in the July and August the market spent the majority of its time in consolidation and breakouts with very few trends happening. A lot of traders I know only did not have a strategy for this type of market cycle so they either lost money over these months or stopped trading altogether until the marker started trending again.I was myself was in the same position. About mid way through July, I realised that my strategies where just not cutting it in this market cycle and I set about on developing my forex strategies so they included one strategy for each cycle. Now I am comfortable trading and making pips in all market cycles.So it is important to have a set of forex strategies that cover each of the market cycles.You need to learn what the different market cycles are in addition to having correct trading systems. That means you should develop the skill of correctly identifying the different market cycles at the right time. Once you have the skill to identify the market cycles then it is important to have set of forex strategies that will cover each market cycle. As effectively identifying the market cycles is a skill that all successful traders have mastered. You need to learn how to adopt your approach to those cycles to remain profitable.

Online forex trading by Scott Ingram

Online Forex trading covers lots of forms with an incredibly wide specificity. In fact it all starts from a general solution that is central to the system, and it is on this that you start to make investments. Guidelines make the investment process smoother and allow for a smooth course of any online Forex trading system. Here is what you can do to improve your online Forex trading.
Investors usually have two options when choosing online Forex trading: to work on their own, with the help of some tools, or to get professional account management in collaboration with a dealer or a brokerage firm. If you have solid Forex knowledge, you may try your hand at transactions independently, but if you are a beginner, you should search for a reliable company that can help you place the money well. The market offers no guarantees, and both profit and loss are its inherent realities.
Traders are forced to stop trading by adding to losing positions. Why continue to invest in position that has made you lose money? This should help you limit money waste and prevent small losses from turning into huge losses. Keep alert and realistic of all the decisions and speculations you make with online Forex trading.
When do you take your profits? Always base your decisions on market information and not on what your account tells you. Don't make trades when the variables are too expensive for you, and once you decide on taking the profit, stick to it and do not continue to invest on descending trends. Market changes direction very often, and one can hardly anticipate the tides. Therefore, online Forex trading involves both assumed risks and facts.
Good decisions are not always possible. There may be days when online Forex trading does not make good business. Maybe you don't have enough money in the account, or when you don't have the time for a careful analysis of the indicators. Furthermore, adapt to sudden changes as the right way to keep losses minimum. Moreover, online Forex trading is different from all the other markets, and you should not try to use the same rules for different markets.

Forex Trading and Elliot Waves by Christopher Hall

Elliot waves are based on the premise that markets move in repetitive cycles reflecting the mass psychology of market traders. Ralph Nelson Elliott discovered this phenomenon back in the 1920s, and many, many traders use Elliot waves even today.
The basic premise of this theory is that market prices move in 5-step stages up and down. Here is a summary of each step or wave. In this example, we will suppose that the market is moving up.
Wave 1 - this is the initial move of the market. This move is caused by a relatively small group of people buying because they believe that the market is undervalued.
Wave 2- because the price has moved up, some investors believe that the price is over-inflated and they sell to take their profits. This of course will cause the market to fall. However, the price will not fall below the original point of step 1.
Wave 3 - this is usually the strongest move. It is at this point that the general market has seen the price move and wants to get in on some of the action. These investors buy and cause the price to rise further than the high of the 2nd step.
Wave 4 - now the price has moved quite high, and again, some investors get out and take profits. This will cause the market to fall slightly, but it won't stay down for long.
Wave 5 - this is the final move of the market. At this time, the smart people have already made their money, but there are still plenty of people willing to buy because of the recent movements. This buying will naturally push the market price quite high.
