Forex Education by Experienced Market Analysts

What is forex?

Foreign exchange markets, or Forex in short (many times abbreviated to just FX market), is the largest decentralised market for the foreign exchange trading of foreign currency pairs with an average daily trading volume of over $5 trillion.

The Forex market is the most liquid financial market in the world, by far! But numbers speak louder than words. Well, in the Forex market anyway so let's compare it to some of the other biggest markets worldwide: Stock market, Futures market, Equities and Cryptocurrencies.

• Average Daily Stocks traded on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) - 22.4 billion
• Average Daily Futures traded - 434.4 billion
• Average Daily Equities traded - 191.2 billion
• Average Daily Cryptocurrencies traded - 16.8 billion

Peanuts! We say, Forex and currency traders all the way!

Exchange rates, national currencies, pips, leverage, market participants, different currency trading styles - our globally recognized experts cover it all!

Trading with Forex Technical Indicators

The Forex market has a tendency to behave in certain ways under certain conditions. Or in other words, the market behavior repeats itself, meaning the certain price patterns will occur again and again. And that's where Forex indicators come in. They are designed to recognise these patterns as they are formed and help you interpret them to your advantage.

But there are more than 10,000 Technical Indicators out there so what one should you be using to perform the technical analysis?

That's where we step in. Our experienced market analysts prepared an in-depth guide discussing the role of trading indicators in the financial markets and, in particular, introduced seven of the most popular technical indicators out there. These are:

• Exponential Moving Averages (EMA)
• MACD
• Average True Range (ATR)
• The Stochastic Oscillator
• Momentum Indicator
• The Relative Strength Index

Learn more about these indicators and more with our in-depth guide.

Why is it important to back-test a strategy?

Backtesting is described as an act of simulating the process of trading Forex whilst using a set of rules over previous price data, to see how much money would have been made (or lost) if the trader had followed the same strategy.

Now, did you know that 78% percent out of all traders who don't backtest, fail?

With that said, calling backtesting anything less than crucial would be an understatement.

It is only through backtesting, one can learn the ins and outs of their strategy and find out which strategies are profitable and eliminate those designed to fail. And at the end of the (trading) day, nobody wants to be chasing shadows in the market!
