fundamental analysis:-

in this type of strategy we will look at the fundamental indicators of an economy to understand whether a a currency is undervalued and how its value is likely to move relative to another currency.This can be highly complex, involving the many element of a country's economic data that can indicate future trade and investment trends.

Technical analysis- is another main category of currency trading strategies ie highly favored among traders.
Most often it involves reviewing the past and recent behaviour of currency price trends on charts to determine where they may move going forward.
The rationale behind using technical analysis is that many traders believe that market movements are ultimately determined by supply, demand and mass market psychology, which establishes limits and ranges for currency prices to move upward and downward.

TREND TRADING
Trend trading is one of the most popular and common forex trading strategies.
It involves identifying an upward or downward trend in a currency price movement and choosing trade entry and exit points based on the positioning of the currency’s price within the trend and the trend’s relative strength.

RANGE TRADING
Range trading is a simple and popular strategy based on the idea that prices can often hold within a steady and predictable range for a given period of time.
That’s particularly evident in markets involving stable and predictable economies, and currencies that aren’t often subject to surprise news events.
Range traders rely on being able to frequently buy and sell at predictable highs and lows of resistance and support, sometimes repeatedly over one or more trading sessions.
Range traders may use some of the same tools as trend traders to identify opportune trade entry and exit levels, including the relative strength index, the commodity channel index and stochastics.

MOMENTUM TRADING

Momentum trading and momentum indicators are based on the notion that strong price movements in a particular direction are a likely indication that a price trend will continue in that direction.
Similarly, weakening movements indicate that a trend has lost strength and could be headed for a reversal

SWING TRADING
Swing trading is customarily a medium-term trading strategy
This is often used over a period from one day to a week.
Swing traders will look to set up trades on “swings” to highs and lows over a longer period of time.
This is to filter out some of the “noise,” or erratic price movements, seen in intraday trading.
It’s also to avoid setting narrowly placed stop losses that could force them to be “stopped-out” of a trade during a very short-term market movement.

BREAKOUT TRADING strategy is a method where traders will try to identify a trade entry point at a breakout from a previously defined trading range. If the price breaks higher from a previously defined level of resistance on a chart, the trader may buy with the expectation that the currency will continue to move higher. Similarly, if the price breaks a level of support within a range, the trader may sell with an aim to buy the currency once again at a more favorable price.

RETRACEMENT
Retracement strategies are based on the idea that prices never move in perfectly straight lines between highs and lows, and usually make some sort of a pause and change of their direction in the middle of their larger paths between firm support and resistance levels.
Retracement traders will wait for a price to pull back, or “retrace,” a portion of its movement as a sign of confirmation of a trend before buying or selling to take advantage of a longer and more probable price movement in a particular direction.
Traders will often pick a particular percentage movement as a sign of confirmation (such as 50%), or rely on Fibonacciratios (of 23.6%, 38.2% or 61.8%) to help identify optimal points for entering and exiting trades.
