    Profit From Forex Price Action - Atif Choudhury

    CHAPTER ONE:

    WHAT IS FOREX?

    Before I jump into my trading strategy, I think it would be a good idea to give some background information about Forex to those who are new to this market and would like to learn this new skill to earn a living or use it for the extra income.

    If you have been trading Forex for a while and don’t need this introduction, then you can jump into the next chapter where I start to discuss my strategy.

    You can trade Forex with as little as $1,000 investment. You don’t need a license to trade Forex. All you need to trade is a broker account and a trading platform. This means that there are no restrictions to trade Forex. Anyone who has money to invest and wants to learn can open an account and start trading.

    Why trade Forex? Yes, making money is a very common answer. Some people trade in the Forex market to earn extra income and enjoy life, and others make a living out of it. Whatever the reason, traders are getting money, enjoyment, achievement and maybe all three. It opens doors to everyone. But don’t be fooled: there are tremendous risks involved in the Forex market.

    However, if you educate yourself first and learn all about the markets, you have a better chance of doing well. There is lots of information available online, and that should help you understand how this works and which broker to choose. On this book’s resource page, I have listed a few brokers’ names and web addresses, which may help you to open an account and download their trading platform. MT4 (MetaTrader 4) is the most popular Forex trading platform. Most of the brokers offer the MT4 platform for their clients, and it’s free.

    Forex Trading Advantages

    Forex is the largest financial market in the world, trading over $4 trillion per day.

    The market is open 24 hours a day, five days a week.

    The broker cost is low – usually the spread (the difference between the bid and the ask price).

    No fees – no exchange fees or regulator fees.

    It’s easy to start – simply fund a margin account with at least the minimum amount and then start trading.

    Short selling makes it possible to return a profit no matter how the market is trending (up or down).

    You can hedge (buy and sell) the same currency pair at the same time.

    Forex is so large that no single entity can dominate and influence the market to the detriment of other traders.

    Trading Forex is quick and convenient and can earn you additional income.

    You can trade Forex from anywhere in the world as long as you have a computer and Internet connection.

    You can also trade Forex as a business.

    Foreign exchange market is the biggest markets in the world. Until recently, only central banks, governments and some large financial institutions were players in Forex trading. Their purpose was different. But the evolution of the Internet has changed all of this, and now it is possible for average investors to buy and sell currencies with the click of a mouse through online brokerage accounts. For this reason, we now see lots of retail traders trading Forex to earn a second income. Best of all, you don’t need a large amount of money to trade Forex, as you do with stocks or mutual funds. As I said earlier, you can start Forex with as little as $1,000 and increase as you gain experience. No other investment will give you this type of opportunity. Students can learn this skill while in college or university and earn extra income toward their tuition, or a housewife can earn extra income from the comfort of their home. Opportunities are endless.

    Forex is recession-proof. You will never be out of work if you can master this skill, and I believe anyone can be successful if he or she puts enough time and effort into learning this new skill. If other people can do it, then you can do it. You just have to develop passion for the market. You have to have a positive attitude. I am giving away my years of experience, and all you need to do is learn and master it.

    You can trade Forex in three ways: spot market, forwards market and future market.

    What is the spot market?

    In short, it is the market where currencies are bought and sold based on the current price.

    What are the forwards and futures markets?

    The forwards and futures markets do not trade actual currencies. Instead, they deal in contracts that represent claims to a certain currency type, a specific price per unit and a future date for settlement.

    The spot market has always been largest because it is the underlying real asset that the forwards and futures markets are based on. Before, the futures market was the most popular because of its availability, but now, because of electronic trading, the spot market has gained momentum among retail traders. When anyone refers to the Forex market, they are usually referring to the spot market.

    I think for now, that’s all you need to know. You can always find tons of resources in the Internet on this subject.

    Now, I will explain some Forex basics, which you need to know as a Forex trader. They are:

    Types of Currency Pairs

    Fundamental Analysis

    Technical Analysis

    Economic Calendar

    Trading Platform

    Forex Time Zone

    Types of Currency Pairs: There are three categories of currency pairs; they are called majors, crosses and exotics. Majors are most popular to traders because of the spread differences. Their spreads are smaller than other crosses. Here is the list all three categories:

    Majors:

    EUR/USD – Euro vs. U.S. dollar (Fiber)

    GBP/USD – British pound vs. U.S. dollar (Sterling, Cable)

    AUD/USD – Australian dollar vs. U.S. dollar (Aussie)

    NZD/USD – New Zealand dollar vs. U.S. dollar (Kiwi)

    USD/JPY – U.S. dollar vs. Japanese yen (the Yen)

    USD/CHF – U.S. dollar vs. Swiss franc (Swissie)

    USD/CAD – U.S. dollar vs. Canadian dollar (Loonie)

    Crosses:

    The crosses are those pairs that are not paired vs. the U.S. dollar. Such as:

    AUD/CAD – Australian dollar vs. Canadian dollar

    AUD/CHF – Australian dollar vs. Swiss franc

    AUD/JPY – Australian dollar vs. Japanese yen

    AUD/NZD – Australian dollar vs. New Zealand dollar

    CAD/JPY – Canadian dollar vs. Japanese yen

    CHF/JPY – Swiss franc vs. Japanese yen

    EUR/AUD – Euro vs. Australian dollar

    EUR/CAD – Euro vs. Canadian dollar

    EUR/CHF – Euro vs. Swiss franc

    EUR/GBP – Euro vs. British pound

    EUR/JPY – Euro vs. Japanese yen

    EUR/NZD – Euro vs. New Zealand dollar

    GBP/AUD – British pound vs. Australian dollar

    GBP/CHF – British pound vs. Swiss franc

    GBP/JPY – British pound vs. Japanese yen

    NZD/JPY – New Zealand dollar vs. Japanese yen

    Exotics:

    The exotics are those pairs that consist of developing and emerging economies, rather than developed and already industrialized economies like the majors. Here is a list of some of the more commonly traded exotics:

    USD/TRY – U.S. dollar vs. Turkish lira

    EUR/TRY – Euro vs. Turkish lira

    USD/ZAR – U.S. dollar vs. South African rand

    USD/MXN – U.S. dollar vs. Mexican peso

    USD/SGD – U.S. dollar vs. Singapore dollar

    When it comes to trading, most traders try to limit their trades to major currencies. There are two main reasons for that. One, those currencies are more liquid compared to others, and Secondly, as previously mentioned, spreads are lower. As an example, the EUR/USD buy/sell spread is not more then 3 pips (pip is a point in currency trading), whereas the GBP/AUD spread can go as high as 9 pips. In Forex terms, these differences are the broker’s commission. In a standard account, 1 pip = $10; in a mini account, 1 pip = $1.

    As an example, when you buy GBP/AUD using a standard account, you pay 9 (9 pips commission) x 10 = $90 dollars to buy, and when you sell, you pay another $90 commission. But if you trade EUR/USD or other major currency, you will pay 3 pips or less as commission, and your commission to brokers will be $60 (3 x 10, twice) buy and sell, compared to $180 if you traded GBP/AUD or other cross currency. All brokers list their commission on their website. Look for a broker who offers better commission before you sign up with them.

    In the stock market, you trade shares of companies. You buy and sell them. You pay money to buy stocks. But what if you wanted to trade or buy and sell a currency?

    In the stock market, companies’ shares are commodities and the currency you pay to buy them is the money. It is the same in any other kind of trading. You pay money to buy a commodity. In Forex or foreign currency exchange, you trade currencies. So again, you have to pay something to buy something else. You pay a currency to buy another currency. You sell a currency against another currency. To be able to do that, regulators have created currency pairs. For example, EUR/USD is a currency pair. In each currency pair, the first currency is the commodity, and the second currency is the money. In EUR/USD, the first currency (Euro) is the commodity and the second currency (USD) is the money. When you buy EUR/USD, in fact you pay USD to buy Euro, no matter in what currency your Forex trading account is. You can have a trading account in USD, GBP, CAD or any other currency. If you want to buy EUR/USD, your broker changes your trading account capital into USD and uses that USD to buy Euro. The U.S. dollar is the main currency and the axis of all transactions in the Forex market; any trade has to be done through USD. However, all of these processes will be done automatically; you just need to click on the buy or sell button.

    Let’s get back to our example, EUR/USD. When you buy EUR/USD, you pay USD to buy Euro or you buy Euro against USD. In the Forex market, it is possible to sell EUR/USD even before you buy it. How? Let me give you an example. You borrow my car for two weeks. Suddenly, you see someone wants to buy the car from you with a good price, like $2,000 above the real value. You sell my car. But you have to return my car after two weeks, right? When it is time to return my car, you go and buy the same car exactly, but at the real price, which is $2,000 lower than the price that you sold my car. You return my car, while you have made a $2,000 profit.

    This is what we do when we sell a currency pair before we buy it. You sell EUR/USD high and buy it low. You sell
