One of the advantages we have as traders is that we do not have to trade. And it costs nothing to not trade. So the common solution is to only take a position in outstanding trades. And these are usually either trades that are moving strongly in your favor before you enter or trades that are so highly undervalued that you are getting an investment at a small fraction of what it is worth. |

Traders have many different technical indicators to choose from when analyzing the FX market. This virtual cornucopia of options can sometimes be unsettling to some traders but does not need to be. The important thing to remember, when practicing Technical Analysis, is to use indicators that work well together. For example, you would want to use indicators that show both potential levels of support/resistance with one that might show oversold/overbought levels so that both indicators work together to confirm an entry point. |

A fellow emailed me recently, asking: "Without giving away any precious secrets, could you tell me a way to improve my entries and exits (on trades)? It seems nobody wants to share their system." Well, first of all, I don't have any trading "secrets." What I do have is many years of market experience, including studying the markets and technical analysis--and listening carefully to the best and brightest traders share their philosophies on successful trading. (You should be suspicious if anyone tries to tell (or sell) you any trading "secrets.") |

The headline of this educational feature pertains not to swimming but to trading. Most professional traders do not hold onto their losing positions for very long. Once a trading position goes "under water" most professional traders will immediately begin looking for an exit strategy-if they do not already have one in place (and most do) via protective stops. |

When the market establishes a trend in a particular direction, often times this trend may continue higher at a certain angle which simply reflects the strength of the buying forces over a given period of time. What's important to note is that these trends may persist for a great period of time; perhaps several months or years. |

The long-term Kondratieff cycle (also called the "K-Wave") is based on the study of nineteenth century price behavior that included wages, interest rates, raw material prices, foreign trade, bank deposits, wars, technological discoveries, public opinion, politics, weather and other available data. In this educational feature, I will touch upon the basics of this long-term economic cycle, including its possible implications for commodity prices and the economy in the coming months or the next few years. |

So what does this have to do with trading and success? I've noticed that the people who are really successful in many, many fields start some sort of program of self improvement. I have mentioned many of those in past tips and the Artists Way is one of them. They move into what they love to do and as they commit to it (because they love it) all sorts of things happen to make it work for them |

Respected trader and educator J. Welles Wilder developed "Average True Range" (ATR) as a tool for a more precise and realistic calculation of market's price activity and volatility. The ATR is useful when calculating the directional movement of a market. Wilder defined the "True Range" of a market to be the greatest of the following periods: |

This week I'm going to be a little controversial because I'm going to put forth some rather bold statements. First, it is possible with small amounts of money and a reasonable trading system to make outstanding rates of return (50-100% or more) through position sizing. Second, if you have too much money, then you probably cannot achieve these sorts of goals because your activity moves markets. Third, professionals either don't know this, or don't want to know this, because they have other rules to justify their performance. |

The FX-market will develop distinctive trends from time to time, as a result of the underlying fundamental factors which make up each currency within the pair traded.

In the midst of these long term trends, the market may establish a number of consolidation patterns. |
