Four Hour Forex Simple System for Beginner

4 hour Forex Simple system for beginner. If you are beginner you must read this article or if you are broker you must read this article.

Setup: 

100 Simple Moving Average

Damiani Volatmeter

MACD-15,26,9

4 hour chart-EURCHF

The 100 Simple Moving Average serves as a support/resistance line as it is known to be used by major banks and  financial institutions, a self-fulfilling prophecy, so to say.

System Rules

Long: Take a long trade when price closes above 100 SMA and MACD histogram goes above 0 line.

Short: Take a short trade when price closes below the 100 SMA and MACD goes below0.

Re-entry: When the price, once has given a long or short signal, retraces back to the 100 SMA, re-enter the direction you went the first time. It is recommended to do it the first 2 times the price hits the 100 SMA and keep a watch thereafter. 

Retrace entry: When a bar is over 100 pips, wait for a retracement to occur towards the 100 SMA line and then enter. This will save you from unnecessary draw down. 

Exit rule

Scaling: I personally take 3 positions per trade. I set my first TP to 40, 2nd TP to 70 and let the third position run with Stoploss at breakeven.

As an example, once my trade hits the first target, I moved the second position to breakeven and leave the third as it is. When the 2nd position is hit, I move the 3rd to breakeven, giving the trade enough room to breathe. I then look for the price to come back, to add to the position, if it is open. At times, when price comes back to the 100 SMA, I get stopped out at breakeven, giving me 100 pips on 2 positions.

This is a trend following system, and has it's bad days. To avoid getting trapped in a range, I use the Volatmeter indicator. It is, so far the best indicator I have seen that helps detect a ranging a trending market.

I will try and attach a couple snapshots of past trades, so the whole idea becomes clear. The blue box is the main entry and the yellow, you can see, is the re-entry. Attached Images

This is the continuation of the first re-entry. Notice a second re-entry. There is a third box I have drawn. It is a false signal.

Note: I take only one position while trading re-entries.

How Does The Broker Get The Money From Forex ?

How does the broker get the money??? Consider this post !

The forex market is a huge international exchange where different currencies are traded, i.e. both bought and sold. It is estimated to be the largest financial market in the world, and is not governed by the rules of any one country. In addition to this, while it is open from Sunday to Friday, it is a 24 hour market and does not experience a daily closing like a traditional stock market. It is, thus, not regulated and there are no international panels to settle disputes nor are there any clearing houses to stand as guarantors of trades on the exchange. There is nothing more binding than a credit agreement between the buyer and seller in the forex market, and it works.

While this seems very nebulous to most stock market investors, forex traders are forced by competition and the need for cooperation to remain honest. There is no way for a trader to survive in the forex market unless he or she keeps up their end of the deal. Most countries will have their own body or association that serve to regulate the forex traders or brokers in that country and ensure that clients' rights are protected. This association will insist on its members accepting the decisions of their arbitration panel in case of disputes. In the United States, this organization is generally considered to be the National Futures Association or the NFA.

Another important aspect of the forex market to keep in mind is that on the market itself, there are no commissions, and thus it works on principal amount only. The so called forex brokers make money not by taking a commission from the trading parties, but by facilitating the trade itself and making their bit on the bid ask spread, i.e. the difference between the selling and buying prices. The implication is that they are not brokers in the traditional sense of the word, but more like forex traders themselves.

The single most attractive aspect of the forex market is that it is practically impossible for any investor, group of investors or financial institutions to misuse it. It is such a large market, with money flowing through it daily in estimated trillions of dollars, that no single entity, however large, can gain a statistically significant control over the forex market. This means that it is completely free of any influences, beyond the true fundamental driving forces that move it. The implication here is that this market offers every investor the same opportunity, regardless of size or influence, making it a free and fair market place, possibly the only one in the world. This aspect is very attractive to small investors in particular, since they are often the ones to suffer the most from stock market scams and fraudulent activity.

While these factors make the forex market more appealing to invest money on, it is also hard to make money on this market due to the fact that the forex trader has to always do better than the bid ask spread, which makes the opportunities for arbitrage profit limited. However, with no extra commissions and charges, the forex trader is left to enjoy every last bit of profit that he or she does make, once they are past the bid ask spread mark. Overall, the forex market is the place for a smart, vigilant and well trained investor.

Helpful Information for all Forex Trading Systems

Building blocks that I believe to be foundations to the Forex Profit System.

Foundation #1: I highly recommend that you follow 1 or maybe 2 major currency pairs. 

It gets far too complicated to keep tabs on all four. I also recommend that traders choose one of the majors because the spread is the best and they are the most liquid. I personally follow only USD/CHF because it moves the most every day.

Foundation #2: Follow and understand the daily Forex News and Analysis of the professional currency analysts. 

Even though this system is based solely on technical analysis of charts, it is important to get a birds-eye view of the currency markets and the news that affects the prices. It is also important that you know and understand what the key technical ‘support’ and ‘resistance’ levels are in the currency pair that you want to trade. Support is a predicted level to buy (where currency pair should move up on the charts), resistance is a predicted level to sell (where the currency pair should move down on the charts). Fortunately, all the best Forex news and analysis is offered free on the Internet. Here is what you should do first:

*While you are reading the daily news and technical analysis, write down on a piece of paper what direction the analysts are

saying about the major currency pair you are following and the key support and resistance levels for the day.

A. Go to forexnews.com and you will find 24hr news and analysis on the spot FX markets. The site will give you the big picture of how the economic calendar and central banks affect the currency markets. A great resource.

B. Then go to fxstreet.com and click on the ‘Top Forex Reports’. Here there is a wonderful listing of all the major daily currency analysis and forecasts with support and resistance and direction forecasts.

C. Click on currencypro.com and go to ‘Today’s Market Research’ and there you will find more excellent analysis on the Major Currency pairs. Another great Forex Portal.

D. www.moneytec.com

E. Free Forex trading forum: www.forexdirectory.net

F. Comprehensive listing of everything, related to the Forex Markets:  ww.mgforex.com/resource/glossary.asp

Foundation #3: Only get into a trade when the FPS technical indicators say when. 

Always trade with stop losses! It is important when you are trading Forex, to be disciplined and to stick to a plan. Don’t just trade your ‘gut’ feeling. Use the technical indicators outlined and always enter in stop losses on every trade.

Foundation #4: Practice makes perfect. 

As they say, there is no substitute for hard work and diligence. Practice this system on a demo account and pretend the virtual money is your own real money. Do not open a live trading account until you are profitable trading on a demo account. Stick to the plan and you can be successful.

Foundation #5: Trade with a DISCIPLINED Plan: 2

The problem with many traders is that they take shopping more seriously than trading. The average shopper would not spend $400 without serious research and examination of the product he is about to purchase, yet the average trader would make a trade that could easily cost him $400 based on little more than a “feeling” or “hunch.” Be sure that you have a plan in place BEFORE you start to trade. The plan must include stop and limit levels for the trade, as your analysis should encompass the expected downside as well as the expected upside.

Foundation #6: Cut your losses early and Let your Profits Run:

This simple concept is one of the most difficult to implement and is the cause of most traders demise. Most traders violate their predetermined plan and take their profits before reaching their profit target because they feel uncomfortable sitting on a profitable position. These same people will easily sit on losing positions, allowing the market to move against them for hundreds of points in hopes that the market will come back. In addition, traders who have had their stops hit a few times only to see the market go back in their favor once they are out, are quick to remove stops from their trading on the belief that this will always be the case. Stops

are there to be hit, and to stop you from losing more then a predetermined amount! The mistaken belief is that every trade should be profitable. If you can get 3 out of 6 trades to be profitable then you are doing well. How then do you make money with only half of your trades being winners? You simply allow your profits on the winners to run and make sure that your losses are minimal.

Foundation #7: Do not marry your trades

The reason trading with a plan is the #1 tip is because most objective analysis is done before the trade is executed. Once a trader is in a position he/she tends to analyze the market differently in the “hopes” that the market will move in a favorable direction rather than objectively looking at the changing factors that may have turned against your original analysis. This is especially true of losses. Traders with a losing position tend to marry their position, which causes them to disregard the fact that all signs point towards continued losses. Foundation #8: Do not bet the farm Do not over trade. One of the most common mistakes that traders make is leveraging their account too high by trading much larger sizes than their account should prudently trade. Leverage is a double-edged sword. Just because one lot (100,000 units) of currency only requires $1000 as a minimum margin deposit, it does not mean that a trader with $5000 in his account should be able to trade 5 lots. One lot is $100,000 and should be treated as a $100,000 investment and not the $1000 put up as margin. Most traders analyze the charts correctly and place sensible trades, yet they tend to over leverage themselves. As a consequence of this, they are often forced to exit a position at the wrong time. A good rule of thumb is to never use more than 10% of your account at any given time.
