Five Easy Steps for Creating a Profitable Forex Trading System

One rule of thumb that every aspiring entrepreneur should keep in mind is that to make huge profits, you should know how to do it by yourself—and not rely on other’s efforts. Being independent from other people will allow you to determine what is the best for your business.

Such rule applies on all kind of investments, including foreign currency trading, or commonly known as Forex trading. It cannot be denied that Forex is the largest existing market around the globe, which is estimated to have an excess of 2 trillion U.S. dollars worth of foreign currencies are traded each day. It is larger than the magnitude of the New York Stock Exchange, which is approximately 50 billion U.S. dollars. Thus, Forex market exceeds all combined equity markets around the world.

With such enormous wealth circulating around the Forex market, one of your financial goals is to grab a major portion of that $2 trillion average daily turnover in the market. How you will be able to get a considerable portion of that average turnover if you do not know how you will handle your Forex business? Although you cannot live in the market alone (you need business partners and/or financial advisers to help you along), only you can determine what the best Forex business there is for you.

To get huge earnings out of your Forex trading career, you need to build your own profitable system—a trading system that will bring you not just hundreds but thousands of dollars worth of Forex revenues. Such trading system is available on the market, but as mentioned before, you need to be independent—and you need to have your own Forex trading system that will help you reach your financial goals.

New traders may find it difficult to conceive their own trading system since they do not have too much knowledge about the Forex market. However, even a neophyte trader can device a trading system that will fit on his personal preference and needs—in just five easy steps!

Before we discuss the five easy steps towards a profitable Forex trading system, you need to know first the three main characteristics of a successful Forex trading system. These are as follows:

1. A successful Forex trading system is plain. There is no need for a complex trading system with too many rules. It is a proven truth that simple systems work better than complicated ones, and they have higher chances of success despite of the “brutal” characteristic of Forex trading.

2. A successful Forex trading system cuts losses and runs profits. Take in mind that you need a trading system that gets the biggest possible profits and eliminates losses quickly, when not instantly.

3. A successful Forex trading system follows long-term trends. You will never cover your losses if you only limit to generate small profits. Keep in mind that the Forex market is worth $2 trillion U.S. dollars, thus there is no point in trading in exchange for just small profits if you have the opportunity to make trades for larger revenues. Focus on long-term trends and you will be able to see better results.

Now, here are the five simple steps for building a profitable Forex trading system:

1. As mentioned before, your trading system must be as simple as possible. Integrate few yet important rules and an extensive investment management system.

2. Always look for long-term trends (preferably on a weekly basis), then shift to daily charts and to time entry. This will help you stydy market trends efficiently.

3. The ideal way of trading foreign currencies is through breakout method.

4. Always watch for any break that you will note on your chart, which is regularly confirmed by stochastic crossed with bearish divergence. This will be your great timing tool when deciding whether to enter a certain deal or not.

5. You must integrate effective time management within your system. Time is gold and is one of your precious resources. Design a trading system that is time efficient—where you can maximize the potential generating huge profits.

Stay apart from complicated systems; it will just ruin your entire Forex trading career. Build a simpler one and see for yourself how profitable it is.
