5 Tricks of Trend Trading
Default The Tricks Aren’t Secret at All
Everything you’ll read in this eBook is probably available elsewhere. For free. But I’m going to try to incorporate the most important elements of a profitable trend trading system. I am not going to talk about entry and exit rules – you can find those in the links above, and share more ideas with each other in the forex factory forum that has been created.
But what I do share – the information below – is truly what has made the difference for me and hundreds of other traders around the world.
Trick #1: Verify First, Then Trade
Most people totally ignore me when I talk about testing. When I train people to trade, I focus most of the training on helping them do their testing. I have developed spreadsheets, methodologies, statistical models – all designed to help traders realize that they must verify that a system works before they commit to trading the system with real money.
Don’t ever trade anything you’ve not tested first.
What does it mean to test? It means that you propose some simple rules for trading. Then you go back in time, manually or mechanically, and you find out how those proposed rules would operate over the course of hundreds of trades. That’s right: hundreds of trades.
Think about it for a moment: if you are not confident about your trading, it’s most likely because you have doubts about the outcome of the trades you are taking. And if you are doubtful about the outcome, then you need to do more testing until you have a better sense for what’s going to happen when you open a trade.
Trick #2: Become Obsessed with One Area of Focus.
Discipline yourself to focus. Diversification is good for your portfolio. It is not good for your career.
Let’s look at some examples. Think of the very best attorney or doctor that you know.
Does that person specialize in one area, or does she practice law or medicine across a huge subject area? My guess is that she is known for one type of legal specialty, or as a doctor, she is a cardiologist (hearts), radiologist (treating cancer), or something else.
The highest paid professionals are specialists. Why should that be any different for you?
You are wise to diversify the investments that you can’t watch closely. You don’t want to commit your entire life savings to forex. You might have money saved in the equity in your home, some in a retirement account, some money in a bank savings account, and then some in a forex trading account.
But if you are going to be a forex trader for a living, then it makes sense – with respect to your currency trading, to focus on a currency pair, a system for trading that pair, and a time frame for watching that pair. If you focus on one currency pair to start, you can become as much of an expert as possible in that one area. How does this relate to trend trading? It is the heart of the issue, it is the foundation for you to become successful as a trend trader.
Let’s say that you read my 5/13/62 eBook and you decide that you’re going to focus on that system. Becoming obsessed with one area of focus means that you set aside time every day to test 50 historical trades. And that you only watch one currency pair to start. And that you only watch one time frame. And you become an expert in that system, on that one currency pair, in that one time frame. If you look at 1,000 trades with those parameters, you are going to become an expert. If you become an expert, you are going to trade profitably.
Trick #3: Different Trends on Different Time Frames
The EUR/USD can be trending upwards on the daily chart, but on the 5 minute, it can be trending downward.
Really? Is that possible? Absolutely!
Think about it for a moment – if you have a long term, daily, dominant move upwards on the EUR/USD, it’s possible that in the shorter term we could see a movement in the opposite direction. So remember, if you want to be a trend trader, you can choose to follow the trend on a variety of different time frames.
If you have a full time job, you might look at trends on the daily and weekly charts. These trends take much longer to start and finish – but they are worth a lot of pips – even more than 1,000 pips.
If you are able to trade during the day, you might look at the very short term charts. I have been testing a new trend following system that works even on the 1 minute charts. I don’t trade from the 1 minute charts (at least right now) but I would be willing to follow a trend on just about any time frame. The point is that each time frame can have its own trend.
Trick #4: Trend Trading Requires Courage & Money Smarts
If you want to become a trend-trader, you are going for the big moves. You are NOT going to be trying to get 10 pips on each trade (I talk about that here: http://www.robbooker.com/books/Strategy10.pdf). You’re going to want to get 50 to 500, and maybe even many more pips, when you are trend trading.
To do this you are going to have to commit yourself to a patient process of waiting for a trend to develop, and then to stay in your trades. Most currency traders are focused on the short term – and there are lots of jumps up and down in the short term. Have you ever noticed that after a major economic release, a currency pair will initially move in the direction you expect it to go, but then all of the sudden it will move the opposite way?
Take, for instance, a Non Farm Payroll report where the number is low, or in other words, “bad” for the US Dollar. And then, all of the sudden, the US Dollar grows stronger anyway! This infuriates traders. I get at least 50 emails every time a major economic report comes out, with questions just like this. It’s a great question. And the answer is often that the trend was more dominant than the news.
Trick #5: TV People are Wrong
Watch out for the news. Be wary of commentators on CNBC or Bloomberg that say things like “the trend on the USD is certainly up,” or “traders would be wise to scale back their long dollar positions because the trend is going to be down.” These people don’t trade your account. They have no idea what chart time frame you are watching or what trading system you follow.
In the past 4 years, I have worked with approximately 1,060 traders from around the world (as of October 31, 2006). Most of them, at one time or another, were scared out of a really good trade because they heard something on television, received an email, or were influenced by a friend.
If you watch TV and you see some windbag get fanatical about one trade or another, then run away from your television as fast as you can. It is better to smash your television than it is to base your trade ideas on what you learn there. Keep in mind that I didn’t say that you should NOT watch business news. I just said that we need to be careful about what we allow ourselves to listen to.
Conclusion
You can get rules for entering and exiting trend trades from all over the Web. They’re easy to find. What makes the difference in trend trading is doing the little things right – the stuff that most traders overlook. For me, it’s all about discipline in your testing, in your trading, in your money management.
I try to give a lot of material away for free. I hope you’ll stop by the Web site, and I hope that you’ll stay in touch. Remember, the free audio and video versions of this ebook are available on my blog, at this address:

Exploit Profit With Forex Trading Tactics
By using a particular set of FOREX trading tactics, you will be able to exploit the profit of trading. With forex trading, you can work in so far for as high as hundred times the total in your deposit account into the trade. So, with a $100 deposit, you will be able to leverage $10,000 into your transaction. With this type of cash backing in a deal, it is easier to finance the transactions that will manipulate healthier results.
Forex trading strategies, like leverage, are employed most of the time to get benefit of short upward turns in currency values. Inspecting closely on how the U.S. dollar balances with the Euro for more than 3 months’ duration might possibly not swank dollar to euro conversion results.
Though, within a particular day or week there could be massive upswings or downswings in value. Applying leveraged funds permit investors to get benefit of these temporary rises and falls.
One more important tactic for forex trading is the stop loss order. This defends the investor by determining and putting a point at which one you will not trade. It allows the investor put a check point for losses. You run the threat of ending a trade that could probably move yet higher, but you as well wrap yourself from a trade that falls far lower the existing value.
Opening up an automatic access order is as well one of the forex trading approaches that will make sure the investor can go into a trade while the price is right. A prearranged price for the foreign currency exchange is set so that the investor automatically goes into the trade at that point.

FOREX Is Tough But Potential Money-Making Opportunity
Trading foreign currencies is a tough task; however, it is potentially a money-making opportunity for those who are educated and are knowledgeable about their investments.
Nevertheless, prior to choosing to participate in trading in the Forex market, you should:
* Cautiously judge the purpose of investment
* Your familiarity with risk factors
Forex is meant for the money you put aside and are prepared to loose. It might not be a wise idea to Forex trade to pay your regular bills.
Forex (Foreign Exchange market) is an inter-bank market that got a form in 1971; this was the period when the international trade transited from fixed exchange rates to floating rates. This transition paved way for the set of transactions between forex market brokers relating to the exchange of specific sums of money in a currency unit for the currency of some other country at an approved rate for any specified date.
During any trade day, the exchange rate of one currency to another currency is decided basically by supply and demand – to which both parties will be in agreement. The price of a currency is mentioned in terms of one more currency.
The possibility of transactions in the international currency market is frequently increasing, which is due to growth of global trade and eradication of currency limits in many countries.
Online Forex is the one of the most innovative forex trading method of Foreign Exchange trading over the Internet. You can start trading with a basic account. Beware of margin trading because unless you are a careful market watcher trading with borrowed money can be risky.

FOREX History
On FOREX markets buying and selling currency is made on a speculative basis by most traders. It is the same like stock market, when traders buy (stocks) currencies holding to get stronger and sell when will get weaker. Most of this trading is doing by investment companies, hedge fund, banks and brokerages. In last couple years the currency trading became open for individual investor with small financial steak. Companies use the currency market for purchasing some amount of foreign currency for there obligations and commitments with other international companies.
The short retrospective for foreign exchange market life will be:
Currency markets were relatively quite until World War 1. Speculation ever made was unknown and was with negative sentiment by institutions. After war ending foreign exchange markets became volatile and shows the first signs of speculative activity, but any further changes and progress was interrupt with great depression. The forex markets were quiet and stable during World War II, when the market started with many important changes and improvements.

Popular pairs in Forex
Without a doubt the EUR/USD and GBP/USD, as currency pairs, receive a great deal of attention by online Forex traders.
Each provides tradable patterns almost every day. Why some traders prefer trading one of these pairs versus the other is almost a matter of personal preference. Both pairs will reflect global sentiment regarding the dollar. As a result, it is usually the case that they will share the same trend patterns.
If world reaction to economic news is positive for the US economy, as a general rule, both the Euro and the GBP will tend to weaken. The chart below, for example, shows how the EUR/USD and the GBP have moved on the 1 hour pattern. Notice how similar the patterns are. The hour charts below show that both pairs provided a similar reaction to the Nov 4th economic release of the non-farm payroll report.
Clearly, it is hard to develop an argument of which pair is better to trade. But there is more that the online Forex trader can do with these pairs. online Forex traders can generate totally new trading opportunities by dropping the US dollar component of the pair and, thereby, creating a Cross-pair known as the EUR/GBP Before we take a look at the EUR/GBP chart, let’s try to understand what makes this pair a good source of trades, particularly, in the coming year.
The best way to understanding this Cross-pair is to realize that it generates a picture of the battle between two different economies- the EU vs. the British economy.
The EU countries experience different levels of economic growth and expectations of growth than that of Great Britain.
As a result, there is a constant flow back and forth of capital between these regions and this flow results in frequent range like behavior and price swings as can be seen in the day chart below.

Regulate Your Day Trading Orders With Forex Brokers
Day trading in Forex is the process of completing the buying and selling within the changes that take place in the exchange rates of currencies in a day. The buying and selling can occur within minutes or between hours in the same trading day. This is particularly a very risky business and it requires a lot of concentration in the happenings of the market.
High profits in Forex are necessarily associated with a degree of risk and any business which has a risk factor can lead to probable tragedy too. However, there are related advantages in day trading.
The capability to regulate your trading orders with respect to the changing forex market volatility is a major requisite for a Forex trader who is in to regular day trading. In reality, there are very few skilled day traders. A majority of them work via brokers rather than market watching and working on their own. Best decisions in day trading can be accomplished if you work for yourself, you are likely to focus on the work more because it is your own money; however, when you do not have the time to be doing it, the best resort is to have a broker do it on your behalf.
Technical analysis is one of the consistent and gainful methods to carry on with your trade in Forex. Sometimes you are likely to be in a hurry to purchase a stock some times too impatient to sell. Trading online is at par with trading in any direct stock exchange market place.

Currency Trading and Forex Tips
Currency trading is when you buy and sell currency on the foreign exchange (or "Forex") market with the intent to make money.

How Forex Works
The currency exchange rate is the rate at which one currency can be exchanged for another. It is always quoted in pairs like the EUR/USD (the Euro and the US Dollar). Exchange rates fluctuate based on economic factors like inflation, industrial production and geopolitical events. These factors will influence whether you buy or sell a currency pair.
Example of a Forex Trade:
The EUR/USD rate represents the number of US Dollars one Euro can purchase. If you believe that the Euro will increase in value against the US Dollar, you will buy Euros with US Dollars. If the exchange rate rises, you will sell the Euros back, making a profit. Please keep in mind that forex trading involves a high risk of loss.
Why Trade Currencies?
Forex is the world's largest market. With about 3.2 trillion US dollars in daily volume and 24-hour market action, we believe it is a true "step above" the equities market for the serious trader. Some key differences are:
Many firms don't charge commissions – you pay only the bid/ask spreads.
There's 24 hour trading – you dictate when to trade and how to trade.
You can trade on leverage, but this can magnify potential gains and losses.
You can focus on picking from a few currencies rather then from 5000 stocks.
Forex is accessible – you don’t need a lot of money to get started.
Why Currency Trading Is Not For Everyone
Trading foreign exchange on margin carries a high level of risk, and may not be suitable for everyone. Before deciding to trade foreign exchange you should carefully consider your investment objectives, level of experience, and risk appetite. Remember, you could sustain a loss of some or all of your initial investment, which means that you should not invest money that you cannot afford to lose. If you have any doubts, it is advisable to seek advice from an independent financial advisor
