Forex Bank Prediction resources

Whether you are a long term trader or a scalper you will always be curious about and would like to know what are the big players in the Forex market doing. What are their positions? Fortunately, certain websites do provide that kind of information. To be more precise I am talking about the positions that are held by the big banks and big hedge funds.

The best websites with bank positions, or in my opinion, the most useful ones are:

1. eFXnews - it is Boston based financial media agency covering global FX markets. It provides the positions held my the biggest players in the market. Highly recommendable one.

2. PLTfx - it is FX trading advisory and Funds Management. Another great resource that provides bank Forex positions. It requires login.

3. Forex Quebec - it is global Forex trading portal that provides the bank positions under its bank forecasts section. It is a good resource though it is not providing the forecasts on daily basis.

4. Dukascopy TV - a Forex broker that is providing the information in video format on part-time basis.

5. Forex Street - another global Forex trading portal. It provides many positrons of a slightly less relevant players in the market.

In short, it is always useful to know what are the biggest players in the market predicting before you enter your position.

Profitable trading using THV strategy

THV is a legendary free manual trading strategy that was developed by Cobraforex. The strategy is originally designed for scalping (trading on smaller time-frames), although some traders successfully use it on larger time-frames. It can be applied to any trading instrument, but since it is a scalping strategy the better results are carried out on currency pairs with smaller spreads.

THV manual and indicators can be downloaded from here. Well, my intention is not to explain you the strategy, but to point out on few additional things that can improve your trading results. Since, it is a scalping strategy, I have applied it to 5 minute time-frame.

First, I advise you to take only those trades that are in accordance with bigger time-frames. If on 5 minute time-frame buy signal is met then check out if according to THV strategy the pair is in buy zone on 15 minute and 1 on hour time-frame. If is not, do not enter the trade. Also, if sell signal is met, check if the pair is in sell zone on 15 minute and 1 hour time-frame.

Second, take a look at Economic calendar. Do not enter the trades half an hour before highly and moderately volatile news release for the one of the currencies in the pair.

Finally, check the volume. Do not enter the trade if the volume is low. It should not be the problem if you are trading on business day during London or New York session.

Hopefully, these remarks will help you to improve your trading results. Good luck!

Simple news trading strategy

News trading is a style of trading where a trader makes his trading decisions based on economic news releases. The great advantage of trading the news is that you can be very successful in relatively short period of time. This style is perfect for those who can't dedicate themselves to the trading on full-time basis.

Economic news calendar can be found at investing.com and fxstreet.com. Impact column in the calendar shows how big volatility is expected upon the release of the news. Three other important columns are: Actual, Forecast and Previous. Previous shows the the indicator data for previous period. Forecast shows the expected indicator value; Actual is the news release.

So, what is causing big price movements? Well, it is a surprise. In this context the surprise is the difference between foretasted and actual value. We can see that actual value is sometimes shown in red, sometimes in green and sometimes in black. What does it mean? Green means that actual value is better than expected and it will cause bullish movement for the currency, on contrary red means that actual value is worse than expected and bearish movement is expected. Finally, black means that value is within expectation and currency should not move.

So, how to trade the news? Choose the pair that is consisted of currency for which the news will be released. Then, 30 to 45 seconds before the news release put one buy stop order 8 to 12 pips higher than actual price and one sell stop order 8 to 12 pips lower than actual price. When the news is released one stop order should become active (if the actual value is not in expectations). Then cancel the other stop order and close (or leave for few minutes or more) the active order. When you are satisfied with the gain close the order. If the news release did not cause the price movement cancel the both stop order and wait for other news release.

I advise you to try this strategy on demo account first, and then you can move to live account. If you sign-up to this blog by email, I will send you a script that is automatically placing stop orders.

Happy trading!

Safe Scalping with EURCHF – A trading strategy

In September 2011 when SNB introduced 1.2 floor, the pair EURCHF has been trading in relatively tight range reaching the highest value at 1.264. Since September 2012, I have been using a simple scalping strategy for that pair and it helped me to earn 20% per month on average.

The strategy is based on assumption that 1.2 floor will remain. Well, in past year and a half SNB has been very successful in defending that floor and it states that will continue to defend it with utmost determination. It is realistic to believe that in the long term the pair will not only remain above the floor, but also will return to the values that are much higher than the current one, as Europe and USA are slowly coming out of the recession.

Prerequisite for the scalping strategy is that your broker has small spread on EURCHF pair (not higher that 2.5 pips) and positive swap on long entry. If your broker does not meet these demands, try the strategy with a different one. If you have a problems with finding such broker I warmly recommend Exness, I have been trading with them for past six months and I am very satisfied. Another prerequisite is that the price of the pair is lower than 1.24.

The strategy itself is very simple, enter the long trade following the rules for any other scalping strategy. I was very successful using 5min blue trentd rider and THV3. Just in case, when I enter the trade, I always put stop loss at 1.1980 level. Next, wait till exit rule for your scalping strategy is met (by scalping strategy i meant here 5min blue trend rider or THV3) , and if your trade is in gain exit the trade. If your trade is not in gain leave it and wait till it will become profitable. Swap is working in your way now! In meantime you can enter another trade on new long entry signal. In a period while I was using the strategy I never had more than four trades opened.

Money management I was using is 0.1 lots for every $400 on my account balance and I am careful that I have enough money for 4 trades. So, if I have $1600 on my account, it will be enough for four 0.1 long trades.
