Why The Future Will Always Be Digital Products
Everywhere you go on the Internet, you will find some type of "digital
product" on any website. What are "digital products?" Digital products
are any products that you buy and then download to your computer
or print to paper.
The most common digital product is an ebook, which almost every
person at some time or another has paid for and downloaded. But if you
think about it,...
FOREX Trading Strategy – The Secret of
Timing
Once you’ve identified a trading opportunity, the next
step is to decide EXACTLY when to buy - and this is where
many traders go wrong.
Here we explain how to incorporate better market timing
into your FOREX strategy - so that you can make bigger profits.
Most traders time their entry levels incorrectly, so here’s
the right way to do it:
Using Support and Resistance Correctly
A basic wisdom of market timing is “buy low, sell high”
- well, the reality is, if you try this in FOREX trading, you’ll
end up losing money. First, let’s define what support and resistance
means
A support level is a historical price that traders come
in, and buy to “support the market” – and the more times it’s
tested, the more valid the support will be.
Conversely, a resistance level is a level on the charts
that “resisted prices from moving higher”- again the more times
it’s tested, the more significant it becomes.
Why Buy Low and Sell High doesn’t Work
“Buy low, sell high” is accepted wisdom by the majority
of traders - but this logic is fundamentally flawed - use it
in FOREX trading, and you’re asking for trouble. Why? - If you
wait for a pullback, you’re going to miss some of the biggest
moves.
Think about it - what if a currency starts to trend and
doesn’t pullback? (How often have you seen this?) If you’re
waiting for a pullback that never comes, you’ll never get in
on the trade – and you’ll miss a major opportunity.
You Need to Feel Uncomfortable
When Trading in the FOREX market, you should usually feel
uncomfortable (and that’s why most traders don’t make these
trades) - as no one likes to buy or sell after the market has
started trending - but doing this will make you money.
The fact is, the more comfortable you feel when entering
a trade at support, the less likely the trade will be a big
winner.
During any given year, most of the big moves in currencies,
take place from new MARKET HIGHS with NO pullback.
If you base your FOREX Trading strategy around waiting for
a warm comfy entry, at key support, you’re going to miss the
biggest and most profitable trades – so step away from the losing
majority of traders.
Your FOREX trading strategy should give you a different
mindset - most traders “buy low and sell high” - so you should
“buy high and sell higher” – i.e. you should be doing the opposite
of what the crowd are doing.
Don’t worry - most traders lose money, and their FOREX Trading
strategy is based on the flawed logic we have just discussed
- so not doing what they do makes total sense. Therefore, look
for breakouts through support and resistance - and sell and
buy respectively.
Its Tough Mentally - But it Makes Money!
Sure, it’s hard to do - the majority don’t agree with you
- and no one likes to go against the majority. However, it’s
the right thing to do, to make your FOREX trading successful.
Think about what we’ve just said, and you’ll see it makes logical
sense.
Has this Happened to You?
How many times do traders buy into support, and the market
breaks support, stops them out and continues to decline. On
the other hand, another common scenario is, price never get
to support - it simply goes higher - and the trader misses the
chance to get in on the trend.
This type of trading is tough mentally - that’s why 90%
of traders don’t do it - they want to be comfortable - well
being comfortable is great, but you’ll lose money.
Breakouts work, and if you use them in your FOREX Trading
strategy, you won’t be comfortable on entry - but you’ll make
money - and that will more than compensate.
The way to succeed in FOREX trading is to do what the losing
majority don’t do - then you can join the elite 10% of traders
who make the big profits - try it and see!
