The Only Forex Entry Signals Article You Need to Read

Why is it so hard for some of us to create a profitable forex trading strategy?

To put it simply, forex is no joke. The forex market is not for the lazy investor! This market requires hours of education, perseverance, and guided exploration. In this short article, we will take a closer look at trade entries.

Fine-tuning your trade entries is a major step toward building an overall profitable trading strategy and approach to the forex market. Once you get comfortable with a particular strategy, you will most likely begin to see trade set-ups quite often. The difficult thing, as most traders know, is not finding tradeable set-ups. The difficult thing is determining the perfect trade entry and trade exit. Fortunately, we do not have to do this absolutely perfectly to make money. However, the better our entries and exits are, the more money we will make, and every trader wants to make money.

Predetermine Your Entry Well Before Actual Entry!

This single step can help cure many ills for the new forex trader. Traders can basically be broken into two categories—proactive and reactive.

- Reactionary traders are:

  • Those who react to what they see the market doing. They see the market going up and get emotionally disturbed at seeing the money they are missing out on, so they jump into the market long just in time to see price stop, turn around, and head in the exact opposite direction. Reactionary trading will drain an account very fast.

- Proactive traders, on the other hand:

  • Plan out their trades well beforehand. They will know exactly where they want to enter the market way before the entry is actually triggered. The amount of time will depend on the trading strategy. Intraday scalpers will know exactly where they want to engage the market maybe 5, 10, 20 minutes or more before price actually reaches a level. This is known as waiting for price.  Reactionary traders chase price. Waiting for price is the way to make money in the forex market when trading with forex brokers.

Never Enter Long Into Resistance Or Enter Short Into Support!

Many new traders will unknowingly enter long straight into an area of resistance or sell straight into an area of support. This is a huge mistake. If you are taking trades that seem to continually move just a few pips in your favor before they take off against you, then you are most likely doing this. Let’s take a look at a chart to get a visual representation of what we are describing here:

fores entry signals

Each of the red arrows is pointing to a false break of support or resistance. Many new traders would have entered short on the break of support or long on the break of resistance and each time they would have been stopped out. The problem is that when you go short down at support, you are selling into support which is not a good way to trade. You will lose money trading this way. The same is true with buying resistance up at the top of the picture. You never want to buy at resistance. What you want to do is the exact opposite. You want to buy down at support and sell up at resistance. Try it.

If You Trade A Breakout, Wait For Confirmation To Enter!

If you do want to trade a breakout strategy, then you should consider waiting for a candle to close below support or above resistance before entering. For example, in the picture above, the red candle marked “A” never closed with conviction below the support level. The safe way to trade breakouts with getting into a bunch of false breakouts is to wait for a candle to close by 5-10 pips below support or above resistance. Then, when the next candle opens and retests the line that was just broken, you can enter because that level should now hold for price to continue in the direction of the breakout.

How Forex Ambush 2.0 works

December 16, 2008 · Filed Under forex, forex robots · 2 Comments 

Before the Forex ball began its steamroll effect into the lives of many somewhat-experienced foreign currency exchange traders, the world of investing in the high-risk business of currency speculation was reserved for a select few.

More often than not, this self-exclusive club consisted of background committees at the world’s largest financial institutions.

Oh how the times have changed.

With the development of newer, easier-to-manage Forex trading software, the cat and mouse game of foreign currency exchange has shifted into the arena of the everyday investor willing to learn and profit.

Using Forex Ambush 2.0 software for example has never been simpler.

Welcome to the world of artificial intelligence (AI) invading the Forex community.

When I think of AI, the first thing that comes into mind is the Stephen King story about the possessed car. And that may be true, at least for a good story.

The ultra-clever developers of the latest Forex software, however, have devised a way for AI to predict the selling future of specific currencies, inform users of the signal, and direct them what to do.

In essence, you’ll be investing in the Forex markets from the comfort of your own home, or wherever you wish to.

With Forex Ambush 2.0, Forex trading has never been easier.
