Forex Signals

The easiest way for people to make money in forex without having to spend time analyzing the market is through receiving forex trade signals either sent to their email, cell phone through sms messages or via instant messenger. If you are lucky enough to find a service which teaches you the system being traded and are able to follow and understand yourself when the system signals are generated from the charts that is by far the best option. This way you are not blindly following forex alerts for better or for worse but actually learning how the markets work in the process.

Forex Signals

The best fores signals to follow will be limit orders so that you have plenty of time to enter your orders upon receiving the signals. Also make sure that the alerts have good risk to reward ratios meaning that the distance to the target price is at least twice as big as the distance to the stop loss.

A preferable also for people who are busy is a once a day trade signal that is “set and forget” type style meaning that you can set the trade orders and not have to watch or manage the trade until either the trade stops out or reaches it target price. The best forex trade signals will also lock in profits as the trade progresses into profit. Be aware of alerts that use trailing stops though as it has been proven that this actual prevents trades from being able to move into profit since there is little wiggle room for the trade to move beyond normal market fluctuations without getting stopped out. Make sure you have access to the rules of the system you are trading and look over the charts after each trade so that you are learning as you make money from the signal alerts.

Forex Day Trading Rules

The rules for a forex day trading system are different than for a position or swing style system in which you build into a position as it falls into profit. Since the nature of intraday trading is to get in and out of a trade quickly it is important to take a full position from the onset of a trade and you can exit a portion of that trade if the trade happens to go against you from the beginning. This way you are positioned to take the max profits from the beginning of a trade knowing the markets are going to be continually fluctuating moving back and forth.

Experience of watching the charts is the most vital when it comes to day trading because often you need to trade from the cuff outside the system rules which means you have to be able to react without thinking.

Forex Backtests

How accurate is forex backtesting on metatrader?

The highest modeling quality that can be achieved when backtesting is 90%. That difference alone is the difference between most any system being profitable or not and does not begin to give a useful representation of the system.

I myself do not believe in backtesting because as a system developer it would be a huge disadvantage as the natural progression for anyone backtesting a trading system is to then curve fit the strategy to past data which produces system ruin when traded in real time. I believe this is why so many talented computer science engineers who are attracted to the markets and believe their coding abilities (close friend develops artificial intelligence systems for NASA and has tried in forex to no avail) will lead them to crack the code themselves and are unable to. They all always fall into the trap into over optimization, which is only natural. Now someone with those gifts and abilities working with a trader can produce very different results in my opinion. That is the ideal situation I believe.

I keep the trade by trade breakdown as the system is traded in real time that you can refer back to. I myself only forward test and have much success with this approach. As you can see from my trading styling though everything about how I approach the markets is different. Which also makes sense as the norm seems to lead to the same results for the herd.

Guess off of the top of my head I would say the win/loss ration is close to about 35% (discounting all trades closed at +10 pips). The minimum risk to reward ratio which takes places on the first trade order is 1:3 which is why with a relatively low win/loss ration they system is able to be profitable. The second trade order has a risk/reward ratio of 1:6 and 1:12 on the third trade order.
