FOREX BASICS

[Vishnu]

Forex trading is a profession with relatively unlimited profit opportunities. However, you have to be aware that you will need not only knowledge and intuition, but also the
ability to work under stress and the courage to take risks. Don’t believe those who guarantee easy money with Forex, because Forex, like any other trade, requires hard
work, discipline and sometimes luck as well.

Before beginning in the Forex world, ask yourself if you have the following traits that
describe a good salesperson

A quick wit
The ability to work and keep calm under stress
The courage to take risks
Persistence and the ability to make quick decisions


If you meet at least three of these criteria, it’s worth trying, because all the rest can be
learnt!

tips for a successful start.



Don’t open many positions at the same time. It’s better to choose fewer positions, but weigh each of
them carefully.

People often forget to limit their loss and therefore have to step out of the game very soon. With the Stop-Loss
Order, you will be able to control the situation if the rates change unexpectedly.

Specialists advise against risking more than 1/6 of your free capital when you aren’t completely confident

Each good trader has their own plan, and the best make an e_ort to hold on to it. Those who have the time,
make daily transactions, others choose long-term strategies. Keep it steady

Diferentiate the time frames of analysis: weekly graphs are used to
observe trends, daily and hourly graphs – to observe the best time to open and close positions

An essential mistake beginners make is closing the transaction too soon and thus not using the full profit
potential. Trends last longer than they might seem at first

Transactions against a trend usually result in loss. Wait for a beneficial tendency and then make your move!

If you still aren’t confident about your decisions, choose a platform that lets you follow leaders and copy
their transactions

Beginners often don’t know that when trends start, they develop quickly because they are increased by traders following them.
Use trends in your favour!

Don’t hold unsuccessful positions open for a long time. Experience shows that it’s best to close them
early and move on to others

Best Hours for trading

Although the Forex market is open 24 hours a day (except on
weekends), there are hours which are better for making transactions. It’s
the London session, which is the most active period, and the time
when the London session overlaps the New York session.

So true, London session is my most favorite one because of volatility. Basically I get most of the entry points on this session. Although, I have no problem on others session if I get good entry point according to my trading system.
