One thing you will hear often mentioned, when talking with Forex traders, is Forex systems. As Forex prices reflect a large number of underlying factors, it is very difficult to do so called Fundamental Analysis. Doing so includes analyzing interest rates, unemployment numbers, investment rates and forecasts on them, and is reserved only for very large corporations with huge resources.
That is why most traders use some kind of system to trade Forex. It is comparable to a betting system only the “house edge” favors you! Below you will find, some of the most common automated Forex systems currently employed by traders and Forex Robots alike:
-
Breakout trading system
This system monitors the price of a certain currency pair and calculate a signal for which way the price will go if the rate reaches a certain threshold.
-
Reversal trading system
Reversal trading looks for a trend that is near completion, such as a limit push, and the signals a move in the opposite direction, when criteria are met.
-
Indicator trading system
Indicator trading tracks a number of technical indicators, and then generates a signal once enough of these indicators point in the same direction.
-
Trend-based trading system
A trend based system looks for and identifies trends and then uses that information to get market positions.
A trading system will not guarantee that you will never lose money or that you will always take home profit. What is does guarantee is that your trading will be consistent every time. This gives you the opportunity to evaluate your results better. It also opens up the possibility of automating the process through a Forex robot that can make trades without supervision. Forex robots, such as those used by investment banks cost several hundred thousand, but there are much cheaper alternatives available for private investors.
