FOREX Trading System

Ask yourself, how many traders achieve consistent profitable results trading in the Forex market? Unfortunately, according to statistics, only 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 ‘Price behavior’ factor.

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.

Trading decisions based on technical indicators without taking price action into consideration will give us less accurate results. 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.

How to create a perfect Forex trading system?

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.

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.

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.
