Every Forex trader has developed their own style of trading, over a period of tried and tested methods, that they personally like to use for successful day trading. The key is to develop a set of indicators that you can use to gauge a trade entry and exit point. All traders will use some sort of software normally in chart formation that they can lay reference to which way a particular currency pairing is moving. It is these charts that can be manipulated to a particular traders style to maximise successful Forex day trading.
The Basic indicators that a trader may look for on a chart are previous support and resistance levels for a particular currency pairing or also known as previous price action. To outline this basic day trading method would be to look at a chart and see a point on that chart that the price has reached and then reversed. This point would be known as support if stopping the price from continuing on a downward trend or resistance if preventing the price from rising. Once a currency has broken through one of these levels it is an indicator that the trend is looking to continue on that particular path and may pose a further move in the given direction.
Another indicator that is predominant with successful Forex day traders are the moving averages. These moving averages can be set in such a way that they show the average price for a given time. If there are two moving averages set to different frames when they cross over it can indicate a change in the currencies direction. A third larger moving average is often used to confirm this change in direction or trend when it to is crossed by the earlier two.
The same method is used to determine the long term trend of a currency this might dictate to a trader whether to sell or buy in the short term. For instance if a currency has a long term downward trend but is indicating a short term reversal a trader might wait for the trend to swing back around to continue on its long term direction before committing to a trade. It is once you have mastered these trading basics that you will experience successful day trading and be able to seek great financial rewards from the trading activities.
