factors ranging from economic conditions, political scenarios and market
psychology. A knowledgeable trader knows how to earn money by following
certain trends, understanding technical analysis, predicting the market
movement and invest or sell based on the information.

better to think of a long term investment. Trade with a higher time
frame and earn better profits! Forex is not easy money or a Get-Rich
Quick Scheme. Forex trading is a disciplined emotion free trading, with
emphasis on long term, well researched money management.

of various markets and forex news to the trader. The forex trade signals

analysis gives in-depth analysis of the movement of prices over a period
of time, thus giving a prediction based on past history. It also gives

forex technical analysis is essential to ensure that the market trends

indicates the highest price paid, while the bottom indicates the lowest
price paid. A horizontal left hash indicates the opening price and a
horizontal right hash indicates the closing price while the whole bar chart indicates the complete range over the time period selected. The candle stick chart is in many ways similar to the bar chart.
