Forex Trading: The Perfect Forex Trading System

Friday, April 10th, 2009

Trading the Forex market has become very popular in the last few years. But how difficult is it to achieve success in the Forex trading arena? Or let me rephrase this question, how many traders achieve consistent profitable results trading the Forex market? Unfortunately very few, only about 5% of traders achieve this goal. One of the main reasons of this is because Forex traders focus in the wrong information to make their trading decisions and totally forget about the most important factor: Price behavior.

Most Forex trading systems are made off technical indicators. But what are technical indicators? They are just a series of data points plotted in a chart; these points are derived from a mathematical formula applied to the price of any given currency pair. In other words, it is a chart of price plotted in a different way that helps us see other aspects of price.

There is an important implication on this definition of technical indicators. The fact that the readings obtained from them are based on price action. Take for instance a long MA crossover signal, the price has gone up enough to make the short period MA crossover the long period MA generating a long signal. Most traders see it as “the MA crossover made the price go up,” but it happened the other way around, the MA crossover signal occurred because the price went up. Where I’m trying to get here is that at the end, price behavior dictates how an indicator will act, and this should be taken into consideration on any trading decision made.

Trading decisions based on technical indicators without taking price action into consideration will give us less accurate results. For example, again a long signal generated by a MA crossover as the market approaches an important resistance level. If the price suddenly starts to bounce back off that important level there is no point on taking this signal, price action is telling us the market doesn’t want to go up. Most of the time, under this circumstances, the market will continue to fall down, disregarding the MA crossover.

Don’t get me wrong here, technical indicators are a very important aspect of trading. They help us see certain conditions that are otherwise difficult to see by watching pure price action. But when it comes to pull the trigger, price action incorporation into our Forex trading system will definitely put the odds in our favor, it will generate higher probability trades.

So, how to create a perfect Forex trading system?

  1. First of all, you need to make sure your trading system fits your trading personality; otherwise you will find it hard to follow it. Every trader has different needs and goals, thus there is no system that perfectly fits all traders. You need to make your own research on various trading styles and technical indicators until you find a concept that perfectly works for you. Make sure you know the nature of whatever technical indicator used.

  2. Secondly, incorporate price action into your system. So you only take long signals if the price behavior tells you the market wants to go up, and short signals if the market gives you indication that it will go down.

  3. Third, and most importantly, you need to have the discipline to follow your Forex trading system rigorously. Try it first on a demo account, then move on to a small account and finally when feeling comfortably and being consistent profitable apply your system in a regular account.

Forex Market Basics

The Foreign Exchange market (also referred to as the Forex, FX market, “Cash” Forex or Spot Forex market ) is the largest financial market in the world, with more than $1.5 trillion changing hands every day — 30 times larger than the combined volume of all U.S. equity markets. Another major feature of the Forex market is that it operates 24 hours a day, corresponding to the opening and closing of financial centers in countries all across the world, starting each day in Sydney, then Tokyo, London and New York. At any time, in any location, there are buyers and sellers, making the Forex market the most liquid market in the world.

What to trade in Forex Market?

In the forex market, currency trading is always done in currency pairs, such as EUR/USD or GBP/USD. Accordingly, all trades result in the simultaneous buying of one currency and the selling of another. The base currency is the “basis” for the buy or the sell. It is useful to consider the currency pair as an instrument, which can be bought or sold.

Understanding Forex quote

  • Base currency: The first currency in the pair.
  • Counter Currency: The second currency in the pair. Also known as the terms currency.

The US dollar is the centerpiece of the Forex market and is normally considered the ’base’ currency for quotes. This includes USD/JPY, USD/CHF and USD/CAD. For these currencies and many others, quotes are expressed as a unit of $1 USD per the second currency quoted in the pair. For example, a quote of USD/CAD 1.1302 means that one U.S. dollar is equal to 1.1302 Canadian dollar.

BID and ASK Prices

When trading forex you will often see a two-sided quote, consisting of a ’bid’ and ’ask’. The ’bid’ is the price at which you can sell the base currency (at the same time buying the counter currency). The ’ask’ is the price at which you can buy the base currency (at the same time selling the counter currency).

Commission-free, but with spreads

Most Forex brokers offer commission-free Forex trading. Spread - The difference between the bid and ask price of a currency. Normally 3-5 pips on the Majors.

Rollover - What happens to my open positions at the end of the trading day?

Process whereby the settlement of a deal is rolled forward to another value date. The cost of this process is based on the interest rate differential of the two currencies. Most brokers will automatically roll over your open positions, allowing you to hold a position for an indefinite period of time.

Leverage & Margin

The leverage available in forex trading is one of main attractions for many traders. Leveraged trading, or trading on margin, simply means that you are not required to put up the full value of the position. Forex brokers provide more leverage than stocks or futures. In forex trading, the amount of leverage available can be up to more than 500 times the value of your account.

FAP WINNER AUTO-PILOT

FAP WINNER AUTO-PILOT

What is Forex Autopilot?
Forex Autopilot (F.A.P.) is a fully independent software robot which trades the foreign exchange currency market on autopilot 24 hours a day. Robots such as Forex Autopilot are called “Expert Advisors” or EA’s, and are attached to the currency charts in the trading platform software which is provided by forex brokers.

What is the FAPTS Expert Advisor?
The F.A.P.T.S expert advisor is EXACTLY THE SAME software robot as Forex Autopilot, but is a version designed EXCLUSIVELY for FAPWINNER.COM! It comes preloaded with the F.A.P.T.S. optimized settings, so all you have to do is **adjust your lot size. You will NOT find this EA anywhere else, and it is not available to the general public.

What is the difference between the original Forex Autopilot and the FAPTS Expert Advisor?
The only difference is that the FAPTS EA comes preloaded with the optimized FAPTS settings which are designed to get you into a solid trade. Marcus’ regular settings which come with the standard Forex Autopilot software get you into a trade quicker, but can result in time spent waiting for “the trend to get going”.  The optimized FAPTS settings raise the bar somewhat, so that when a trade does fire, the trade trend is more solid. This means that FAPTS will probably fire off fewer trades, but the trades will be of a higher quality.

What separates the FAPTS EA from other Expert Advisors?
The FAPTS EA is proven auto-pilot software with an in-built advisory system, developed by a professional team who have combined expertise in forex trading, mathematical logarithms and programming. FAPTS EA users also have the backing of an active and extremely informative user group and FAPWinner Members Area which provides instant help, assistance and information for both experienced and new users.

Is there proof that the FAPTS EA is really working?
Yes. Forward and back testing on demo and live data is available to show accurate results of using the FAPTS EA over time. Members of the Forex Autopilot Users Group (F.A.P.U.G.) and FAPWinner.com also have access to a live account which is trading the FAPTS EA according to recommended guidelines.
