Forex Trading Spot
Follow the trends
As with any type of trading it is often easy to over complicate your trading. When trading spot forex, you should aim to balance a detailed technical research trading approach with one that trades according to obvious macro trends.
It is clear to everyone that the US economy is faltering. The recent credit crisis has resulted in crashing property prices that caused the cost of borrowing to rise. This has now hit corporate America and equity prices are down about 20% in the last year. All of this has caused the US dollar to weaken significantly. With no end to the economic downturn in sight is there any logical reason why the USD dollar will not weaken further? The Fed dare not rise interest rates as it tries to help prop up the real estate market. I believe this make it an easy trade to bet against the USD.
Automate where possible
Computers are wonderful things that if used correctly can save you huge amounts of work. There are a number of automatic forex trading programs out there that implement a predefined trading strategy. By using one of these programs you can effectively automate part of your trading.
Though this kind of trading should not be your sole strategy, when combined with say the above kind of trading it can provide you with a nice little automated side line. I tend to use this kind of trading for about 30% of my portfolio.
Fortune favours the brave
It can often be too easy and tempting to stay within your comfort zone. This is and has been the downfall of many a trader. Financial markets and economies are constantly evolving and changing. As traders we too should be respond to the changing markets and not be afraid to try different strategies and types of trades.
