How To Arrange Successful Trade Transactions On The Forex Market?

If you ask this question any experienced trader, in most cases you will hear a widespread joke that a secret of the successful trade is to buy cheaper and to sell more expensive. But this joke is very true, although it has ti be paraphrased a bit — to buy expensive and to sell more expensive; to sell cheap and to buy cheaper. These principles are very simple and clear, and you have to learn to forecast the direction and size of movements of currency rates to realize the given principles.

But I think that the most important is to have a right trade strategy. Forecasts have probabilistic character, so we may suppose that a trader doesn’t make mistakes in forecasts with the probability 0,6 (this is possible). So, from 10 transactions arranged by this trader, 6 were success and 4 were unprofitable. This is not bad at all. But you need a clear plan according to your trade strategy, rigorous discipline and self-control if you want to realize this probability.

Every trader develops a trade strategy or trade system by his/her own. No one can learn you that, moreover if a trader follows recommendations of someone else, this strategy will bring the trader to the full crash. So, you have to create your trade strategy by your own, using the trade tactics that are given below.

Using the long-term trade strategy a trader keeps a position opened from severals days to a month and even longer. This strategy is the least risky, doesn’t make a trade make momentary decisions and psychological tension is very low. But you need a rather large deposit, at least 5-10 times more than margin (the sum you need to open and keep a position). If a margin is 500 US dollars, you need from 5000 US dollars for this work. You need that in order to bear speculative sharp fluctuations of a rate that is usually 500-1000 pips. The second drawback is that you have to pay for transfer of the position. This type of trade strategy is the best for beginning traders. Moreover, you will not have to study fundamental and technical analysis carefully, as at the conditions written above, if you open a position on any currency and to any side, put Take Profit at 100-200 pips, you will get this profit during a month (the probability is very high). Getting more knowledge and skills for forecasting, you can work without losses and get about 100% of profit a year.

Using the medium-term strategy a trader keeps a position opened from one day to a week. Everything written above is true about the medium-term strategy too. The beginning traders who do not want or can not to wait for a long time, can work with this type of trade strategy very well. This trade strategy is more profitable, but a bit more risky, although at the correlation of deposit/margin 5-10 is almost without risk.

Using the short-tern trade strategy a trader keeps a position opened from one hour to 24 hours. This strategy is very profitable, but only experienced traders can work with it.
