Forex Strategies
The best forex strategy I follow is 20 pips per session. I like small time frames 5 minutes and 15 minutes. I wait like a hungry lion to catch the prey.. But look for 1 hour chart to get an overall perspective on trend MACD rules on the 15 min chart. Even if MACD is, say, trending up on the 1 hr chart, if it is trending down on the 15 min chart, thats what you take your cue from . Only use MACD for divergence, not for buy or sell signals. It is a lagging indicator, and as such is useless as a trigger. Always protect your money by using 20-30 pip stops. Mental stops are okay, but not if you are dead serious about using a disciplined approach to managing your money. You will lose three out of ten trades. The three losses should be kept to 20-30 pips. Your wins will by far surpass your small losses. Look for 4 hour chart for the following information. If 5 period moving average cross 13 period and both cross 50 period for sure the the trend is set. Select only 1 or 2 currency pairs and play with them. This technique gives grip on the currency pair and its behavior. Be disciplined on stop losses and profits. Do not be either depressed or greedy. Do not play on calendar events if you are not sure. High volatility and thus risk.
