Chapter 8: Basic Trading Strategies

The Forex market is an excellent option for anyone who wants to make money. But, if you are one of those traders who looks for the ‘Holy Grail’ in the Forex market, you are not going to find it. The Forex market doesn’t have a ‘Holy Grail,’ so if you want to earn, you must work for it. The most common problem faced by naïve traders is that they are unable to understand basic trading strategies. Hence, when trading they struggle a lot and finally, they end up losing money. Generally, Forex trading is all about self-learning; you will not be guided by anyone. So, you must enter the market only after accepting this factor. If you are not ready to learn the market, you will not be able to trade successfully. However, I’ll help you understand the basic trading strategies in the Forex market.

Trend

One of the simple strategies that you must consider is the trend. If you understand the trend, you will be able to manage to trade for some time until you master other trading strategies. If you are through with trend trading, you don’t have to face difficulties when opening a position. You will find long, short, and medium trends in the market. Hence, before you begin trading, decide on your strategy. Based on the strategy, the trading chart must be selected, and remember, the trend is your friend until you treat it that way. What if you come across a downward trend? You must remain calm until price recovery occurs.

Support and Resistance Levels

You must understand support and resistance levels. You will not be able to understand trading unless you understand support and resistance levels. It is recommended to purchase near support and sell near resistance levels. You will find the resistance levels near the previous high. However, if a resistance level is broken, it turns into a support level and vice-versa. If you want to trade Forex, you must have proper knowledge of support and resistance levels.

Breakout

You have to expect breakouts when the market goes above the consolidation boundaries. The market will reach different highs or lows. If you are finding a new trend, it means there has been a breakout previously. So, now, you can consider breakout as a signal to indicate a new trend occurrence. Yet, some breakouts do not imply new trends. However, in Forex trading, even when you are dealing with simple strategies, it is better to focus on the risk management concept. If you are aware of risk management, you don’t have to face huge losses. Instead, you’ll be able to manage losses.

Retracement

The retracement strategy is all about the concept that prices don’t move in a straight line, instead stops and change the direction in the middle. Usually, the ones who consider retracement strategy make sure to wait until the retracement in price occurs and then look for longer price movement. Mostly, traders consider the Fibonacci ratio for confirmation and to find the points to enter and exit Forex trades.
