To put together your own Forex trading strategy based upon the enclosed information only takes a week or so and you can then be targeting triple digit gains in around 30 minutes a day. Let’s take a look at it…

The first point to keep in mind is that any strategy you use should be simple and this one is. Why should it be simple?

Why Complex Theories will Lose you Money

The big thing in Forex trading at the moment is using complex mathematical formulas to predict. We apply mathematics in everyday life and it works but it won’t work in Forex, because Forex markets don’t move to mathematics.

You can make complex systems but they will simply get wiped out, because Forex markets are an odds based market and for odds based market, simple systems are best as there more robust with fewer elements to break.

There are those that still believe they can predict and that mathematical formulas exist that work but if there was such a system, we would all know what would happen next and there would be no market.

Simple Systems Work Best

The Forex strategy we are going to look at is simple and is based upon buying breaks to new chart highs and lows and its obvious why this works and that is markets trend. Any big trend starts and continues from breakouts and you can see this on any Forex Chart.

Trading the Reality

Trading a breakout has another advantage, it trades the reality of price change and doesn’t predict. I read a lot about predictive systems, but they don’t work, as predictions are really guesses and you won’t get rewarded for that, in life or in Forex trading.

Why Most Traders Can’t Trade Breakouts

It’s easy to do logical and it works but most traders have a mental block about doing it, as they want to be in at the exact top or bottom and think they have missed the move and want it to pullback, giving them a better entry point. This of course doesn’t happen, the trend continues and the trader waiting misses it.

Breakout trading is all about putting the odds on your side and on good breaks, the odds favor a continuation of the move. You miss a bit at the start but there is more profit on the way and that’s your aim – to make a profit, not try and buy lows and sell highs which is impossible!

Putting the System Together

Not all breakouts are valid and you have to find the best ones and furthermore, to put the odds on your side even more, you need to confirm them by looking at momentum and we will look at this and more in part 2 of this article series, as we put together a simple robust Forex trading strategy for profit.
