Free Forex Strategies

We at Forex Prediction believe that learning how to "work hard" at becoming a profitable trader is one of the first steps toward becoming a trader.

For some, it means browsing the internet Forex discussion forums and online communities, hopping from one trading strategy to the next. For others, it means spending money on book after book, studying the various strategies taught by gurus. Believe it or not, we're not even knocking these two approaches -- in fact, that's how most of us started our day trading careers. What we want to point out is that there comes a time when you need to assess the strengths and weaknesses of all those strategies and systems you learned over the months or years and actually apply them in the markets.

Spending hours on forums with like-minded traders, talking about the latest strategy you learned (or created), is all well and good if you've got some spare time during slow market hours -- but if you want to make money, then shut up and trade.

If you're serious about making money in the markets, even if that means using it as a secondary income, then doing the right kind of hard work is the key to making progress toward becoming a consistently profitable trader. Academic arguments and theories might work for you at dinner parties, but they're useless for making real hard cash for yourself during the London open or the Non-Farm Payroll reports.

For some, the right kind of work is spending hour after hour, collecting historical data on your favorite currency pair, and finding a statistical edge that has repeated itself for the past ten years. For others, the right kind of work is being awake every morning (or night, depending on your time zone) and trading that initial burst of volatility on the Euro and British Pound when the London banks enter the market. For you, it might even be a mix of both.

Never stop looking for a new edge in the markets, because you never know when your current one might dry up. As Thomas Edison once said, "I have not failed 700 times. I have not failed once. I have succeeded in proving that those 700 ways will not work. When I have eliminated the ways that will not work, I will find the way that will work."

Good trading to all!
