Forex Training- Avoid Over Analyzing and Procrastination

January 24th, 2009

A common occurrence among traders is to find themselves kicking themselves because they saw they knew the market was going on way and they didnt enter, either do to fear or just plain laziness. Usually though the reason is because they were waiting for the best price to appear and it never came or they had two or their three markets and they were waiting around for the third one to show up.

The common result of the procrastination and waiting on the market is that the trader was dead on with the market but instead of acting on his research he waited for an even more prime market and failed to net any sort of gain off the trade. So ultimately his profit is zero.

A great motto for traders to remember as they learn forex and then as they trade forex is that you dont make any money in the business unless you put money on a trade. Too often a common pitfall is the fact that a forex trader will overanalyze a trade. Traders cant sit around and wait for the Utopian market to show up. The fact is it might exist at some moment in time but that isnt the goal of trading. The goal is to make money off the imperfect money conditions. Thats when a trader becomes an expert.

Once you place a trade take the time to manage that trade. The money you put on the trade is an investment of both your money and your time. Dont leave your trades up to chance. You may analyze the market perfectly but you will never be right in your analysis until you actually make the trade. There are systems that will help you see when to enter the market. Sometimes traders dont want to invest simply on what they see. There are indicators that will help you have the confidence to invest on your research because they will act as back information for. When you manage a trade you are pumping that trader for everything its worth.

The key to trading successfully is to not over analyze a trade or the market. It is also important that you dont over procrastinate or wait for the perfect market. If you fail prey to any of these mistakes you will find that you will either lose money invested or simply never make money because you never invest. You dont want to find yourself just watching chart patterns form and scroll across the screen.

Japanese Candlestick Patterns Explained

January 20th, 2009

Japanese Candlesticks are the oldest form of technical analysis. It is a system that has been used since the 1700s to trade. In the beginning, it was used to trade and analyze rice trading. Over the centuries it has become used for many other analyses including but not limited to securities, options, and Forex.

Japanese candlestick charts display market sentiment like no other form of charting can. With candlestick charts you have basically 2 moving parts. (If you will.) The real body, can be full or hallow, and the wicks or shadows can be long or short, or gone – either way, together you get a nice picture of price action today, or over a period of time.

A high is marked by the top of the upper shadow or a wick. It indicates the highest point of the day in trading. The low is marked by the bottom of the lower shadow. If a security closes higher than it opened, then a hollow body is drawn. The top line of the body itself would indicate the close and the bottom line of the body would indicate the open. If a security closes lower than the opening price, then a filled body is drawn with the top line indicating the opening and the lower one indicating the close. (See below.)

Candlestick charting is much more intuitive than any other form of chart reading once you learn some basics. A candlestick pattern can reveal price action relative to the past better than any other form of charting available. Not only do you get instant insight into current price action, but also that action relative to the past.

Different body sizes represent the distance between open and close. A longer hallow body represents a nice bullish candlestick where the close is higher than the open. A longer filled or black body represents a nice bearish session / day where the close is much lower than the open. In the flip side short bodies represent a close and open relatively close to each other.

Another characteristic would be a hollow or filled body with no shadows. These are called Marubozu or black & white. A white Marubozu would occur when the open equals the low and the close equals the high. A black Marubozu would occur when the open equals the high and the close equals the low.

A long or short shadow with a short body are called spinning tops. Spinning tops represent indecision. The short body indicates that there was little change in the trading and the long shadows indicate there was a lot of activity with both bulls and bears. However it also indicates that neither buyer nor seller could get the upper hand, resulting in somewhat of a standoff.
