HEDGING IN FOREX

Advanced Forex Trading Strategy -Break Pull back and Continuation.

This advanced forex trading strategy is used in trading forex, Indicies, and Commodities.
This strategy is used at the end of a trend. In the example below, you can see that the euro i.e., EUR/USD is stuck in a consolidation or distribution range at the top this advanced strategy can only be implemented once we have a daily candle close above the range.

This may seem a little complex to begin with, but once you have practised this advanced trading strategy a few times, you will get the hang of it. Trading a Breakout, pull back, and continuation can make you over 5000 pips on just six Currency Pairs.

Remember, when you are trading the six major currency pairs, you should always bear in mind the market co-relations. So, when trading the euro always have your dow and dollar index chart open. If you are trading the Aussie dollar, then the two most important charts you require are Gold and Copper.

At Platinum Trading Academy, we will give you all the tools necessary to implement your advanced forex trading strategies and remember when trading BPC the following rules should be taken into consideration.

· Always Plot your Fibonacci for getting the appropriate entry

· Use the appropriate Stop loss for the trade, which is 40 pips and your aim should be around 100 pips for this kind of trade.

Always remember Fundamental move the markets, technicals give you entry points, and logical should confirm your trading entry. Hence, we always say the perfect trading is a combination of Fundamental, Technicals, and a trading system or trading strategy.
