Using the currency strength indicator to identify forex trading reversal opportunities

Using the Currency Strength Indicator to Identify Forex Trading Reversal Opportunities As we approach the year-end, for forex traders this represents a great time of year with plenty of volatility as volume falls in the run up to the holiday season. But this delivers plenty of excellent trading opportunities and the starting point as always is the currency strength indicator which helps to identify when a currency is overbought to oversold and hence guides you to the opportunities immediately. From there, it's off to the charts, and check out the volume associated with any moves as you look for primary to primary trend reversals. The currency strength indicator is a key tool for spotting forex reversals. It ranks currencies by relative performance. Extreme readings often signal overbought or oversold conditions. This highlights potential turning points before price fully reacts. Combining with Volume Price Analysis Volume price analysis (VPA) strengthens reversal signals from the indicator. Look for divergence: a currency at extreme strength but price...

Assessing risk and reward the correct way!

Assessing risk and reward the correct way!

Assessing Risk and Reward the Correct Way! Many traders insist on fixed risk-reward ratios like 2:1 or 3:1. This seems simple. But it's often nonsense. Rigid rules ignore market context. Volume price analysis (VPA) offers a better way. Let the chart decide risk and reward naturally. Many traders talk of risk and reward and the fact they do not take a trade unless there is a 3 to 1 risk reward ratio or 2 to 1 - but how do they know, and does the market actually care what they need or want! There is a simple and logical way to assess the risk on each trade, and any potential reward by studying the chart and from there deciding whether to take the trade or not. The chart will reveal in multiple timeframes what is ahead and therefore likely to offer support or resistance, or where the market is likely to congest. Then and only then can you make a decision based...

At the start of the London forex trading session I explain how I use the currency trading dashboard for MT5 and the steps to follow in highlighting the opportunities ahead for the session. The currency dashboard comprises the currency strength indicator, the currency matrix, the currency array and finally the currency heatmap. All have a part to play and I start with the currency strength indicator which is our radar on the market and not hard to understand why. 1. It breaks the forex market down into the building blocks of the market – in other words the currencies themselves 2. This is always the place to start with any analysis of the FX market – the individual currencies – it reveals individual...

Forex trading success is all about choosing the right currency pair for a strong trend

Forex trading success is all about choosing the right currency pair for a strong trend

Forex trading success is all about choosing the right currency pair and the starting point is the currency strength indicator. Here strength and weakness in the individual currencies is revealed simply and clearly which is why we call it out sonar on the market. Like the device trawlers use to locate shoals of fish, so we use it to identify reversals and strong trends in the building blocks of the markets - the currencies themselves. However, when a currency is rising or falling strongly, this does not mean it is doing this across the complex, and so we are constantly looking for the a strong move for the counter currency in the opposite direction. So if the currency is rising strongly, we want to match it with one which is falling equally strongly. Why? Because this will deliver the greatest momentum in the trend. https://youtu.be/rS6hgiODSCA...
