Types of Forex Trading:

There are two types of forex Trading-Fundamental and Technicals.
                                
             Technical trading is all about reading forex charts, using moving averages, tools and indicators to such as fibonacci studies and trendline analysis to find high probability trades. There are some very good ways to make money in forex technical trading. This section describes the other side of forex trading called Forex News Trading. This is where your odds of making good, profitable trades increase enormously.

           
              Trading the news, is one of the best ways I know of making larges sums of money in very little time with very little risk. Financial news announcements get released every week. Some of these news announcement can and do move the market if there is a surprise in the announcement. For example, if a country is expected to raise it’s interest rate by a quarter of a point (0.25), the market prices this “expectation” into the price of it’s currency. When the announcement comes and the country decides to hold rates steady or raise them even more, e.g by half of a percent (0.50), this will absolutely move the currency. These are the kind of opportunities forex news traders look for and profit from.

              Most news traders break even unless they have an edge. The edge we need is called "spike trading" and it's the only way to be consistantly profitable trading the news. Spike trading is a term used for playing the initial spike in price when a news event is released. This is where the money is made and the way to do this is with tools that get us into a spike trade immediately upon a news release. The only tool I know of, and have used used for amost 2 years, is called the Secret News Weapon (SNW) and it gets me into 80% of my spike trades. Sometimes prices moves too far, too fast so no matter what tool you use, you will not get into a spike trade. But the news spike trades we do get in to, hold your hat, because you can make a lot of money within 10-15 seconds after a news release. Nothing beats news trading with the SNW for super quick and profitable trades.

             News trading can also be challenging. In our previous example we said if a country raises it’s rates more than expected, we would expect it’s currency rate to increase. That could be so, but timing is also very important. If the interest rate announcement is accompanied by a statement from that countries Fed of Board that indicates something like this could be the last interest rate hike for a while, this could have a negative effect on the currency. So instead of skyrocketing up, price stalls, flounders a bit and start crashing in the opposite direction. You would initially be on the right side of the trade, with a very nice profit and before you know it, price goes the other direction, stops you out and you lose money of the trade. This can and does happen.
