Fundamental and news trading strategy

The fundamental strategy is widely used in trading. Especially big market participants and institutional traders are using this strategy maximally.  As a retail trader you can’t avoid it totally. Fundamental strategy built with such a matter and condition which can make a perception upon any currency or forex market’s related products worse or good thing.

Supply-demand or support-resistance strategy

When the supply more than the demand of any products, assets or services than its price falls down. As a counterpart when the demand is higher than supply then price becomes high. Forex is the big financial market in the world, so the supply-demand economical concept hundred percent works in this market. Every big market participant has been doing trade with supply-demand labels. In the forex market when we meet at the demand label it calls to support and when we meet at the supplied label it calls resistance.

Forgiving definition, we can say support is a price label or price zone where a buyer enters the market and resistance is a price label where a seller enters the market. Support-resistance both labels are historical labels, the price has been respected the label again and again, and repeat. More the label, respect the label is strong. Price comes to the label and returns back to the opposite direction.

There are mainly two types of support resistance, Major support resistance and Minor support resistance. But when a supporting label breaks through it becomes resistance also when resistance has broken through it becomes support. Old support becomes new resistance and old resistance becomes new support. Which price label acts as a combined support resistance gradually, this label call, support resistance zone.

So when you want to build a best forex trading strategy you must build it with support resistance . And make a strategy as, buy-in support or demand label, sell in resistance or supply label. Because in the forex market it is a very proven thing that supports resistance works more than eighty percent times.

Trend trading strategy

Trend is a friend”. It is a universal truth in forex trading. Trend trading strategy is all time a high winning strategy indeed. To trade with the trend, trading with the big market player. Because big market players enter the market and control the market and manipulate the price movement toward their expected target, and make trends. So, trade against the trend trade against the market controller and trading gain is tub.

What is the trend? The trend is the market price movement direction. Which direction the price has been moving, it calls a trend. When price moves upward direction it calls uptrend. When price moves downward direction, it calls for a downtrend. When price moves within a range it calls, sideways trend. Like this there are three types of trends.

A best forex strategy couldn’t build without trend trading. But for building a trend trading strategy you must know how to identify the trend. Which time frame chart is perfect for trend identification? It has no obligation. But a higher time frame is best. Like as, H4, D1, weekly. For big movements, catching trend trading is best. In an uptrend market, you could be taken a buy trade entry and in a downtrend market, you could be taken a sell trade entry. In the sideways market, you get a buy entry at the lower label and a sell entry at the upper label of the sideways market. The sideways trend trading calls also range trading strategy. You must know together with trend identification what Swing high is and what Swing low is?

For as support break means price go to down, resistance break goes to up, uptrend line break goes to down, downtrend line break goes to up, etc.
