Forex Strategies - How to Make Money in a Recession

By James Smith

In today's recession hit equities markets, there aer now countless forex strategies out there in the market today, and it is very hard for a novice foreign currency dealer to pick one which he knows will be profitable without losing a large sum of money making expensive mistakes. A good tip for a foreign currency dealer looking for a winning solution is to use multiple forex strategies - this way he is able to diversify his risk, and then see them in action before having to choose which one he will trade with on a full time basis.

Since the depression, many people have deserted the equities market in order to focus more on forex. Whatever forex strategies a foreign currency dealer eventually opts for will depend on his or her personal preferences. Some strategies may work for one but won't for the other. This is because every foreign currency dealer wants to realize profits in their own way and in their own pace. Using these forex strategies will surely help the investor make his choice in what stocks to buy and when to buy them.

The most important aspect that a foreign currency dealer needs to be aware of is that the foreign exchange market does not have any centralized exchange for dealing, which means that pertinent information needed by foreign currency dealers, such as volume, and details of buyers and sellers, will not be available to them. They have to rely on more detailed and specific analysis, and develop profitable forex strategies to get them through the reams of information in order to be able to make profitable trades.

Instututional foreign exchange professionals, however, have the massive edge of seeing the order book at a specific bank, which means that they know when their own clients are going to place big trades, and at what price. This is why retail foreign exchange professionals have to be sharper and more ruthless if they want to be ahead and beat the interbank foreign exchange professionals, as they have a huge advantage over the average retail trader.

No matter how good the forex strategies are that the forex trader has chosen, it is useless unless we are effective with our trading. I was always blaming the forex strategies for my losses when I first started out as a forex trader but when I look back on it the problem was that I was not being consistent with my trading, and not employing good risk management.

It takes an extremely disciplined foreign currency dealer to be able to stick to their forex strategies and trade without emotions such as fear and greed entering their foreign exchange dealing decisions. When you bring human emotion to the table it changes the patterns of your foreign exchange dealing system and can change the results. If your emotions aren't right for dealing it usually alters your dealing, and not in a good way, often turns a profitable dealing strategy into one which costs you a lot of money.

There is another opportunity which presents itself for forex traders with currency trading, and that is the market is working 24 hours a day, and never stops to sleep. While this is an advantage in some ways it can also be a big disadvantage. The disadvantage for a foreign exchange professional is you cannot watch the market 24 hours a day. You can't be there to catch all your trade signals. One concludes from this that various forex strategies are impossible to track, if you are sleeping when the strategy tells you to pull the trade trigger, you will miss money making opportunities.

Finally, it should be noted that currency trading is not for everyone, as a lot of forex strategies can be hard to follow. I don't know about you but I don't want to spend my life watching charts and I decided a while back that being a foreign exchange professional is really not for most people. One solution is to identify forex strategies which use automated software programs which will monitor the action for you 24 hours a day and do the currency trading for you automatically. Using such a system they will enter and exit your trades when the market gives them the signals. For the working foreign exchange professional looking for profitable forex strategies, this is often the ideal currency solution, allowing a working person to profit from forex whilst he is at work. - 23222
