To begin with, you should fully grasp the fact that forex trading involves very high risk. Putting it straight, you’re actually risking your hard earned money. All investments in forex must go along with a rule of thumb – never risk borrowed money or the cash you can’t afford to forego (like home rent).
The basics facts
Some major benefits
Most firms won’t charge any commissions – you’ll pay just the spreads between bid & ask.
There’s 24-hour trading – so you get to trade at your own liberty and convenience.
You get trading leverages – this might magnify possible gains OR losses, though.
It’s simple to just pick up some currencies instead of from 3000 stocks.
You get easy accessibility – there’s no need for lots of money for getting started.
How do trades happen?
You buying a currency and sell another simultaneously. This means currency quotes come in pairs (e.g. EUR/USD and USD/JPY). By the term ‘exchange rate’ they refer to purchase prices between 2 currencies. For instance, a EUR/USD rate stands for the chunk of USD that can be bought by 1 EUR.
When you’re optimistic that the Euro is likely to increase in its value in terms of the USD, you just purchase Euros using US Dollars. So, if that exchange rate does hype, you’ll need to sell those Euros back. That’s how you get your profit. This is risky, as you might presume.
A few advanced facts

Indicators Based on Moving Average
Indicators Based on Volume
Indicators Based on Volatility
Ranging Indicators or Oscillators
Each of these analyses has certain modes of analyses. For instance, the Moving Average Based Indicators usually involve three major modes of analyses. For instance, the Moving Average is the very fundamental technical indicator regarding technical analysis and used for trend identifications mostly and tries to smoothen price movements in one single line. And you get a signal whenever the market price crosses the line. Similarly, the Moving Average Envelope is an indicator referring to lines that run parallel to the moving average with a given percentages.
You get to see a band created by the lines. That band helps gauge price volatility as well as its extremes. The MACD (the acronym of Moving Average Convergence Divergence) is an indicator charting the convergence along with the divergence of short run as well as long run moving averages. So you get graphical alerts whenever short run price movements rise/fall sooner than what are suggested by that longer moving average. So you get most recent trends this way.

Wow, what a day. The forex market really moved. The US Session openned at a 161.8% Fibonacci Level and M4 Pivot Point. That is usually what the markets look like at the end of the trading day! With so much news on the calendar, you really had to play it cool and wait for an entry point. If you did, you were rewarded with one last extension in the direction of the prevailing trend.

An absence of major US economic news and a holiday-shortened trading week contributed to the second day in a row of lower than normal Forex market volatility during the New York session. Although follow-through was limited, there were some pips to be made by skilled scalpers, even on the EUR/USD the world’s most liquid currency pair. A conservative long trade setup on the euro came together as the end of the London trading day approached. Up to 70 pips in profit depending on entry and exit strategy was the reward for traders who simply bought at visual support and took profit at today’s central pivot point.

Two opposing trendlines converged on the GBP/USD during today’s European session to form a triangle, the apex of which was due for arrival in the early part of today’s New York session. Traders who spotted the setup found a conservative long trade entry after the breakout — in the direction of the prevailing trend and the market’s latest stint of dollar selling — during the hour prior to the start of the session. Fortunately, US GDP news did not ruin a good thing, as the move ultimately produced a profit of between 70 to 80 pips (depending on entry) for traders who exited at the psychological level prior to the European close.

It was a flat forex day with no forex news on the forex calendar. Not a great forex trading day. The forex market is still getting used to the US Dollar low. We’ll just consolidate here until new forex momentum is created tomorrow. Today’s forex trading strategy was “Capital Preservation”….
