Forex trading strategy

Friday, July 13, 2007
1. Decide which pair you are going to trade.

2. Find out all major trends by checking the different interval forex charts. For example, 1 hour, 4 hours and daily forex charts

3. Plot the trend lines through the high points if it is on a downwards trends and plot the low points if it is on an upwards trend. You will need at least 2 months of data to be able to plot out the trend lines

4. Mark the support and resistance levels

5. If the price is almost approaching the trend line you have drawn, wait for it to move through or below the line before proceeding.

6. You might want to also check the RSI indicators to see if they give you a warning. Also make sure to check the MACD and Stochastic levels as well.

7. Make sure for the next 2 or 3 days, there are no major data releases for the two countries’s currencies. It will cause some fluctuations in the prices.

8. Get in and start trading but use no more than 10% of your capital

9. Place a stop loss but do not place it so far enough that you won’t make a profit. I would suggest 100 pips as a recommended stop loss point.
