However and unlike other stock forecasting websites or tools you may have come across, Next Candle makes the claim that it was "built by award winning hedge fund traders” (specifically, they say they have won 15 awards within the Barclay Systematic Traders Index category for their trading systems or algorithms) and their intention is to assist any trader to “dominate the markets and get revenge on the banks.” Nevertheless and clever marketing pitches aside, there are only two things that matter about a stock forecast service: Is it easy to use and understand? Is it accurate? Is Next Candle Easy to Use and Understand? Ne2012-03-11http://www.ava-metatrader-trading.com/trading_higher_time_framesThe daily chart should be your best friend in order to become a successful forex trader. Why, because it is the daily chart that gives us the “highest value” or highest-probability targets when compared to any time frame below it. Weekly charts are also accurate, but they don’t give us enough targets each month and they are less practical to trade than the daily chart. These targets are price action setups, and you should think of them as higher-value on the higher time frames, because in reality the higher the time frame the higher-probability the setup becomes. That’s the reason trading higher time frames will make you successful trader. In other words, in Forex trading you should be looking for the highest-probability trade setups that can have the greatest positive impact on your track record.

However, you will need to do more than that; you will need to truly MASTER the Forex trading strategy that you choose, because if you don’t master it, you will never achieve your full potential as a Forex trader. Mastering a trading strategy begins with education. You must put in the time and effort to learn and master it; no one can do this for you. You need to be realistic about this, it will take time; it takes time to become a master at anything, and Forex trading is no different. But, if you put in the necessary time and effort to really learn what you need to do in order to succeed, you will begin trading like a pro sooner than y2011-11-10http://www.ava-metatrader-trading.com/developing_right_forex_trading_mindsetSniper-like Forex trading breeds confidence and discipline. The more you strive to trade like a sniper and less like a machine-gunner, the more your confidence and discipline will improve with time. This is because you will be rewarded for patience, and as you start to see your patience pay off over time, you will want to maintain it. It is the initial stages of developing the right Forex trading mindset that most traders fail it, usually because they do not understand the power of patience and discipline. It tends to feel better to be all over the market – like a machine-gunner because you feel powerful and “in control”. The problem with this mindset is that you can never control the market, in fact, the more you try to control the Forex market the more it will control you. The only thing you CAN control is yourself by learning to trade like a sniper, with patience an2011-11-03http://www.ava-metatrader-trading.com/accept_less_is_more_in_forexForex trading is definitely a “situation” where less is more. However, it is very common for beginning traders to feel that more is better; more forex indicators, more trades, more analyzing, more money on useless trading robots, etc. What is the result of such beliefs? The result is almost always over-trading; indeed, most beginning Forex traders are like a machine gun; spraying bullets (money) at everything they deem to be trade worthy and likely causing more damage to their trading accounts than actually making money. The first step that you need to make in order to become a better trader is to truly accept that in Forex, less really is more. Just like a sniper waits patiently for his or her pre-determined target to come into view; you need to learn how to wait patiently for your pre-defined trading edge to show itself in the market.

This isn’t easy and putting this basic concept into action requires a lot of skill and experience especially in the forex market. Investors and traders have long known that the forex market is influenced by far more than just forex. The truth is, currency is influenced by many factors, political, economic, interest rates, economic growth and much more, and all are interlinked to some extent making it that much harder to isolate one moving factor. In this article we will show some examples on how you can trade currency based on movements in the commodity market and how you analyze those numbers. Let’s head back to 2005, where oil and gold were at all-time record highs. Those two commodities were the big movers in the markets that year.

Risk and Money Management One of the integral parts of Forex is risk and money management. You can risk too much money and left to handle a large draw down or a margin call (the worst case scenario). If you want to manage your risk and money, calculate risk versus profits ratio, keep in mind the size of your equity, costs, swap costs, and the probability to win. If you do it manually, by the time you’re finished, the price changes, and you have to do it again for the new price. Let the system do it because the platform does it well and in 0.1 seconds – you can never beat this speed. If the old way risk management calculations are not forsaken, you will fail.

To measure the system’s true worth, you have to study indicators’ history, make random tests, try it on a demo platform, and only then try it on the live program. Most of such improvised systems fail, especially if they don’t take into consideration current market situations. If a trader wants to make the system work well, he has to update it frequently and change variables when the market changes. There are some basic rules to designing a good technical analysis system. Rule 1 Approaches It’s recommended to choose indicators that process the data in different ways. Thus signal confirmation will be more reliable. Rule 2 Less is more Too many indicators in the system complicate it to the point of failing.

When the distribution is over, accumulation starts again, advances a certain distance and gives room to a distribution. As you can see this cycle repeats again and again and again… trading on accumulation and distribution is not suited for day traders since in day trading the cycle can be cut short, and the profits might be unexpectedly low. If traders want to make real money using this method, they must wait until the accumulation is over and use the whole advance length until the distribution starts. When market conditions move to short-term trading, it’s best to use the distribution to generate profits. To successfully use this method you have to study 8 or 4 hour line or candle-stick charts, especially 20 MA, for several months to fully und2011-08-01http://www.ava-metatrader-trading.com/picking_forex_robotRecently forex robots have become very popular among retail traders.

Fu2011-07-19http://www.ava-metatrader-trading.com/gold_influence_on_currenciesThere are five major aspects to gold influence on Forex 1. Fiat currencies were backed up by gold For a very long time gold was backing up fiat currencies which had legal value in their country of origin only. The last country to discontinue the gold standard was USA, making the US Dollar a fiat currency in 1971. The gold standard was abandoned due to its limiting nature – countries couldn’t print more money than the gold in their possession. In light of the last crisis, economists feel that the developed world should return to the gold standard to reduce the extent of USD’s and other currencies’ volatility. 2. Gold is a hedge against inflation. Traders see gold as a safe investment buying it in times of high volatility or inflation, since gold can’t be diluted and its supply is limited. 3.

Short-term traders are usually so caught up on catching market’s ups and downs they don’t look for other profit opportunities or they don’t think that by leaving a position open at night time they could earn something. Somehow these traders don’t rely on news, events or radical changes. This approach to trading is very limiting and incorrect for couple of reasons. First of all, you are in control over your whole operation. That means that you control the risk, i.e. the stop-loss points. Greater chances are that nothing major would happen overnight and that the gap wouldn’t slip by your SL point and you will not lose a deal. Thinking otherwise would make you stuck in one place without a possibility to earn money. When you set your position, the amount of money you risk is fixed and limited b2011-07-03
