When trading in Forex market it is better if you chose a certain time frame of a Forex graph and trade according to it only. Professional traders use the time frames of 4 hours, 24 hours or 1 week. There are certain benefits and disadvantages of the high time frames. The bigger is your time frame, the more funds you have to deposit to your trading account because each trading position needs higher margin. But at the same time you have a chance to make higher profits due to the higher trading volume. The market‘s behavior is more stable for higher time frames and less spontaneous but it may take you few days to find a good opportunity to enter the market. In this article we would like to reveal a strategy of trading in 4 hours time frame using the candle stick graphs that can be found at any broker.

Be prepared that trading with 4 hours candle stick charts requires much patience and time. It may take you much time to find a good chance to enter the market and also from 12 hours to 5 days to stay in the market. This technique is based on the trends that sometimes appear in the Forex market. Trend provides traders with a great opportunity to make a lot of pips as a trend may last as long as up to 300-500 pips depending on what time frame you a trading. The goal is to enter the market in the beginning of the trend and leave it in the end of the trend. Following this strategy a trader must check the market and his open trades every 4 hours after the last candle in the 4 hours chart is completed. As we have 24 hours a day, so during a day you have to visit your trades or check the market for a specific signal 6 times disregarding on the day or night.

Upon analyzing the market it is recommended to check the prices for the certain currency pairs for 4-5 days back on a 4 hours candle stick chart in order to see if there were some trends before or there is a chance for a potentially good downward or upward trend coming. The choice of opening or closing a trading order may be done only every four hours when the last candle is finished and a new one has begun.

If you notice that the last three candles show that the market is going up, this is a good signal to open a buy position. If at least 2 last candles go down, this is a signal for a potential downward trend and you can place a sell position. In order to minimize possible losses you can use such orders as take profit and stop loss. You can place a take profit order after 120 points in case if the prices between the opening and closing of the market did not surpass 80 pips for the last 5 trading days. If the rates surpassed 80 pips for the last 5 days, you can set up the take profit order on 240 points.

1)      Get some help! Learning from a successful trader can only help make you a better trader. Books and programs are good if you have the basics under your belt.

2)      Never start trading with your money use demo accounts, for example Forex Automoney is a trading platform that provides training and a demo account for you to practise on BEFORE you actually put any money on the markets. An estimated 90% of new starters fail to make a success of trading as they do not practise and learn the basics.

3)      Learn to manage risk. Do not use more than 1-2% of the capital in your trading account, big trades can mean big profits but also can mean big losses. Money management is the key to long term success in forex trading.

Financial Freedom in trading in today’s Market starts with the pursuit of truth.

This is why it is necessary to join me this Wednesday, Aug 4th at 9pm EST, for a FREE session with an ex $50 Million dollar fund manager when he reveals the secrets professional money managers would rather you not know.

Have you ever had that feeling… after you were stopped out and the market went back in your original direction, that a bank or large fund had hunted your stop and stolen your shares?

Well, that’s because it’s true!

My guest on this Wednesday night webinar at 9pm EST, a former big fund manager, used to do just that.

In small markets like penny stocks his firm could do it all by themselves. In larger more liquid markets they would team up with other hedge funds. He says even some banks would do it.

So what can you do about it? Learn to either stay out of the market when the hedge funds are hunting stops, or profit from it.

We’ll talk about how to survive the hedge fund hunters during his complementary webinar Wednesday at 9pm EST.

Go ahead and reserve your slot now – with over 255,145 invitations and only 1,000 spaces, you’ll need to register and opt in early to get on the webinar. Click here to register:

==> Visit ETF Trend Trading Website

In addition to the long list of topics I listed in yesterday’s email, he will also be discussing:

- How some hedge funds hunt stops and a simple trick to avoid getting caught, most of the time. Yes, hedge funds, brokers and other individuals (not the “market“) really do hunt your stops.

- One of his four proprietary profit target strategies. He’ll just give you this valuable tip for listening in Wednesday.

- How to avoid being vague with your entries and stops (like those “gurus” who say, “Buy a few cents, ticks, or pips above.” )

- A little known, no cost, scanner tool that can help you improve your trades, now.

- A complementary excel sheet that does ALL the math for you. You’ll be able to easily see the optimal position size and risk vs. reward ratio on all your trades.

I promise it won’t be a waste of your time. My trader friend really did do trades as large as $50 million before he left the world of money management. He will explain how he learned these tricks-of-the-trade, but most of the hour will be spent on teaching you how to be a better trader. I like to share useful content with my subscribers and this is a big chance to do just that.

This morning the second quarter Gross Domestic Product(GDP) results were released by the Commerce Department. The second quarter Gross Domestic Product reported was 2.4%. This is sharply lower from the revised first quarter number of 3.7%. Economists had expected the second quarter number to be 2.5%. Therefore, today’s number was not a big surprise. What does this all mean for the market?

Well, today the market is starting out under pressure with the SPDR S&P 500 ETF (NYSE:SPY) trading lower by 1.06 to $109.20. Most commodity stocks are under pressure this morning and this is a sign of deflation. Leading commodity stocks such as Cliffs Natural Resources Inc (NYSE:CLF), and Southern Copper Corp (NYSE:SCCO) are trading lower and remain under pressure. Remember when the U.S. Dollar Index is trading higher on the trading session this will often push the commodity stocks lower. Therefore, always keep a dollar chart open as most professional traders will key off this chart. Remember when the dollar is higher the stock market indexes will deflate. Should the dollar decline or sell off the market will inflate higher.

Since the July lows the markets have surged higher climbing about 10.0 percent from that level. However, since July 16th, the major indexes have been very choppy and volatile. This type of volatile action could be expected going forward. Please remember to keep an eye on the U.S. Dollar Index as that chart will generally give traders a good indication of where the stock indexes are trading. This morning the U.S. Dollar Index is trading higher by 0.15 cents to $81.79 and the market is obviously trading lower.

If you haven’t heard by now, a group of ex F/A-18 US Navy Fighter Pilots and Wall Street traders have developed a new set of options trading methods based on the way the U.S. military taught them how to fly $40 Million Dollar aircraft, manage risk (and blow stuff up)…

And these same skills have helped them ‘Kill It’ in the options market for the last 15 years.

In fact, their military disciplines and methodologies have given them such an advantage in options trading, that a couple of them have achieved ANNUAL gains last year of over 70%.

And they’re getting together on July 15th to show YOU how, live in the markets.

Their webinar room can only handle 1,000 traders, and this email has gone out to at least a million traders… so hurry up and reserve your seat here: ==> http://fox3options.com/iscript.php?10908_A98131_6

The stock market is a mess of people one-upping other people constantly. Any chance to get an advantage is seized immediately and one of those opportunities lies in the so called “Flash” Orders. In a brief summary, a flash order is a brief glimpses (no more than milliseconds) of someone else’s exchanges. Of course, only high-speed computers can see these, but once they are seen, they can be used to get a leg up and buy or sell ahead of others.

Some regard this as an unfair advantage as professional traders would gain advance knowledge on trends before individual buyers. Others say that it adds ‘liquidity’ to the stock market. This opinion comes, of course, from the big businesses who are using the flash order service to their advantage to gain a profit. The problem is in the shifts that this brings about. For example, the big business might buy all of a certain stock, and then sell it for a bit more than they bought it, but a penny less than what the next guy is offering it for. This advantage causes motion in a violent manner in ways that would not be present in normal conditions. While this can for a time be a benefit, it means it can also fall just as quickly.

Another big gripe is that the High Frequency Trading can really mess people over. Those with a leg up can make an investment risk-free, and it is only risk-free for them because all of the risk falls on to the lower tier. So far, it has upset enough people to be at risk for banning. The stock market has become a beast to be weary of these days. If this unfair advantage doesn’t go, what’s to ensure equality in the future? Fortunately the flash order business will very likely be taken away as more than a few well-placed officials have been given varitable heebie-jeebies from this mess. Hopefully order will soon come out of this chaos.

Please read Flash Order to know more about how it can destroy the whole financial trading system if abused used.

We would like to inform you that there is a new version of LEROSA FX PRO named LEROSA V. 5. Krak.

Please check this great performance:

==> Visit Lerosa Pro FX Website

Lerosa Pro FX is a completely automated forex robot which works for all market conditions without one having to optimize or adjust the settings. This way you can be confident that you are trading at the best possible rate at any point of time. It is similar to the automatic trading software used by professional traders but is sold at a very affordable $599 unlike the professional software which cost about $10,000. Small investors can now afford to use the automatic trading software.

Most of the forex robots in the past are designed to suit the market conditions of the past but Lerosa Pro FX adjusts itself to the changes that take place in the market. It works for a minimum deposit of $200 and all the way up to $100,000. The only setting you need to choose is the kind of trading you wish to do. You can choose aggressive, moderate or conservative, aggressive involves more risk whereas, conservative is the low risk trading. In conservative trading, trading is done only when a clear sign of profit is seen. Aggressive trading should be carefully thought out and one should always consider his financial condition.

Most forex softwares have a range of settings that you can choose according to the market but you will not always know what the right setting is. Hence you will need to constantly watch the progress and adjust the settings which can be very time consuming especially if you are not a full time trader. This problem is eliminated in Lerosa Pro FX as the adjustments will be done automatically. In trading past cannot predict the future hence traders cant really predict how the trade will go and this is where robots like Lerosa Pro FX come to use.

The installation has been made very simple by the developers and you just have to put the file into the expert folder of Meta Trader 4 platform. Select the currency and money management type and you can start using Lerosa Pro FX. The developers are expert traders who themselves are using Lerosa Pro FX and they plan to sell this in limited numbers.
