Forex Trading Charts
When you think about forex trading and charts, what comes to mind is that, what ever time charts you are in the principles are still the same. A 1 minute chart will be the same as the daily chart. What I found out last week while I try to trade intraday chart is that. It’s not always the case.
I trade successfully on daily charts and I love the freedom it brings because sometimes, I don’t have to trade everyday and I get to do something else. While I wait for the next candle stick, it will take another day. That is why when I tried trading on smaller time frames. I never got any profit.
I don’t know. Maybe its just me. I still follow my rules but the fact that intraday trading is a whole new beast than the other charts. I realize that if I really want to be successful in this. I need to master one chart at a time.
Many books claiming that their method are great on any charts. I don’t know. Maybe just my strategy is not that good. That is why I bought some books for reading. I’ll post some of the things I learned and tested once I finished reading the book.
