Forex Scalping

1-This article is all about forex scalping for beginners and a key fact you need to learn, if you are thinking of incorporating it in your forex trading strategy - If you don't understand this fact, you are 100% guaranteed to lose, so here it is...

Forex scalping is based on dumb logic and doesn't work. Before we look at why, lets dispel the myth that vendors selling scalping systems make money - they don't. You will always see this with any track record - read it carefully:

"CFTC RULE 4.41 - Hypothetical or simulated performance results have certain limitations. Unlike an actual performance record, simulated results do not represent actual trading. Also, since the trades have not been executed, the results may have under-or-over compensated for the impact, if any, of certain market factors, such as lack of liquidity. Simulated trading programs in general are also subject to the fact that they are designed with the benefit of hindsight. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profit or losses similar to those shown".
Personally I think the above should be banned and vendors should NOT be able to present track records that are not real, as they are totally meaningless.

Let's face it who couldn't make money knowing the closing prices?

My little Niece could beat George Soros (and she's only 9) if she knows the closing prices! The problem is we can all be multi millionaires quickly with this info - but trading forex is a little harder, we have to trade not knowing the prices in advance.
Check any forex scalping track record you like and you will see the above or a similar disclaimer. I did see one that printed the vendor's bank statements as proof the system made money but that profit was probably from selling systems not trading!

Of course there were no supporting broker statements.

So why is forex scalping destined to lose?

Think about how prices are determined:

Millions of traders all with different systems, motivations etc all as a mass group decide the price and you CANNOT Predict what this group will do in a matter of hours.

All short term volatility is random in nature, you cannot use short term levels of support and resistance, so you cannot get the odds in your favor and you therefore cannot win at forex scalping and that's a fact.

Forex scalping and day trading is an area where you won't make money, so don't bother trying. If you must trade short term use forex swing trading - its still short term but you can get the odds in your favor and that's what you need to win at forex trading.
Today there are many vendors who simply lie about the profit potential of forex scalping and hope the naïve or greedy trader falls for it - make sure you don't.

Forex scalping always reminds me of the old burger king ad where they claimed to have more beef in their burgers than McDonald's and in the ad the man picked the burger up and said:

"Where's the beef?"

In forex scalping terms translated means:

Where is the real audited track record?

To be fair it's not a fair comparison.

There was of course beef in the McDonalds burger - but you won't find any profits in the track record of a scalper, just a made up track record done without trading!
So our lesson is in terms of forex scalping for beginners - forget it, try a different way of making money in forex and if you want to trade short term - try swing trading

Learn Forex Day Trading Online | ForexGen

Many novice forex traders want to learn forex day trading online and scalp small regular profits to build into big consistent profits over the long term this is article is all about forex scalping and day trading success...

If you are considering learning forex day trading
online then think again it will lose you money! Why?

Because you cannot judge where prices will go in the short term and will lose all your money over time.

The Myth of Forex Scalping and Day Trading Profits

Of course there are plenty of forex mentors and gurus who try and sell you forex systems all with great track records and they all have a problem - they all carry this warning, read it:

"CFTC RULE 4.41 - Hypothetical or simulated performance results have certain limitations. Unlike an actual performance record, simulated results do not represent actual trading. Also, since the trades have not been executed, the results may have under-or-over compensated for the impact, if any, of certain market factors, such as lack of liquidity. Simulated trading programs in general are also subject to the fact that they are designed with the benefit of hindsight. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profit or losses similar to those shown".

If you have read the above you will see why these forex day trading strategies are unlikely to work for you.

- They haven't been traded and are just made up!
- Anyone can make money knowing the closing prices but that's not the real world
- You could ask yourself the question - why if the systems are so good why the sellers don't trade them, shut up, keep quite and not bother you for a few hundred bucks!

Well you know the answer these systems are designed to be sold and rely on traders not reading the warning to closely and falling for clever marketing copy.

Try and find one without the above disclaimer and your in for a long hard search I have never seen one with a proper real time track record supported by account statements and neither will you and if you do let me know!

Scalping Strategy | ForexGen

There are a number of options that any investor has when trying to decide where to invest his/her money. Forex (i.e. the foreign exchange market) is one of these choices. Just as millions of travelers do every year when they go abroad, Forex traders are merely exchanging one form of currency for another. But as most people already know, one dollar of U.S. currency is not equal to one Euro - there is always a conversion rate involved in any exchange between currencies.

Just as with stock prices, the exchange rate between currencies is constantly changing and reacting to market conditions. One Euro might be worth 1.300 USD today, but only 1.2518 USD the following day. When dealing with currency exchanges, the two currencies being traded are known as the currency pair. The base currency is the first in the currency pair and it is used when the account is set up (USD/Euro). So, if an investor was looking at the exchange rate of 1.312 USD when looking at the base pair of the Dollar/Euro - this means that it takes 1.312 USD to buy one Euro and that the dollar was used to set up this transaction.

Forex traders are always trying to anticipate the movement of exchange rates and capitalize upon those predictions. As with stocks, Forex investors can profit whenever they correctly predict moves in the exchange rates - whether they move up or down. Scalping is one of several strategies that have evolved in Forex trading.

At its simplest, scalping involves short-term movements in the exchange rates. In other words, Forex traders who use the forex scalping strategy are not in it for the long haul - in fact, this strategy may only involve investments that last a few hours - or even minutes. Scalpers pay very special attention to market indicators that specifically affect Forex rates.

Exchange rates tend to fluctuate based upon economic and political news events - on both the national and international levels. There are several key indicators that scalpers (or any Forex trader) pay special attention to before investing and many of them involve government statistics, including the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) rate, unemployment figures, trade balance reports, inflation, and interest rate announcements.

The reason that most currency markets rely so heavily upon government statistics is because they are both accurate and reliable indicators of economic strength or weakness. The statistics are compiled and analyzed using very complex formulas that are nearly impossible to manipulate. These government figures are both transparent and generally available to everyone at the same time - so there is a general sense that the currency market is an even playing field for both large and small investors. These statistics are generally released around the same time every month (with the exception of figures that are released quarterly, like the GDP) and distributed by all the major players, such as Reuters, Bloomberg, CNBC, etc.

Beware of Curve Fitting or Lose!

Forex scalping systems are more popular than ever and they all come with great track records, which have unbelievable gains and their very tempting for novice traders but what they need to be aware of is - curve fitting which ensures that most scalping systems lose money.

Curve fitting is when a vendor bends his system to fit the data.

When the vendor can't get the system to work, he keeps adding more rules and parameters in until it does, by bending the system to fit the data or curve fitting. He then has a track record he is satisfied with or more to the point gives him a great track record he can sell.

What happens next?

No two periods of data are going to exactly replicate themselves and the system simply collapses and loses in real time trading.

LOOK FOR THIS DISCLAIMER!

The buyer scratches his head and wonders why - but if he looked for this on the track record he can find out if its curve fitted. Look for the disclaimer below (or similar) on any system you buy - this is standard CFTC one.

"CFTC RULE 4.41 - Hypothetical or simulated performance results have certain limitations. Unlike an actual performance record, simulated results do not represent actual trading. Also, since the trades have not been executed, the results may have under-or-over compensated for the impact, if any, of certain market factors, such as lack of liquidity. Simulated trading programs in general are also subject to the fact that they are designed with the benefit of hindsight. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profit or losses similar to those shown".

If you are looking at buying a forex scalping system from a vendor, beware there all curve fitted.

You will NEVER find one with a real time track record, as forex scalping simply doesn't work by the very nature of the logic its based upon.

The time period is simply to short.

All volatility in daily or hourly time frames is random - support and resistance is meaningless and prices can and do go anywhere in a day. It's impossible to get the odds in your favor and forex day traders always lose long term.

Of course it makes a good story and naïve and greedy traders buy it and vendors know this.

They simply tell the story add a simulated track record and appeal to their greed - it's a big industry.

If you want to trade forget forex, forget scalping systems or day trading and trade longer time periods, where you can get the odds in your favor.

Leave forex scalping systems to the dreamers and greedy traders, get the right forex education and enjoy currency trading success by using longer time frames and valid data.

Forex Scalping – Day Trading your Way to a Regular Income

There are many day traders who go in for FOREX scalping trading several times a day and trying to get out with small profits which will add up over time.

This form of hit and run trading is more popular than ever.

Let’s look at how it works.

Well firstly, it doesn’t work at all and will doom your trading to failure – Any trader who day trades or tries to scalp profits loses – PERIOD.

Here we will explain why.

Data is meaningless.

If you are studying charts you need to get the odds in your favour.

This is of course not possible in day trading as all volatility is random and prices can and do go anywhere.

This is obvious when you have millions of people trading trillions of dollars daily.

If you don’t have data that can help you get the odds in your favour then it is pointless applying any technical indicator.

Moving averages, support and resistance and pivot points which are useful tools for longer term trading simply don’t work in day trading.

There only good tools if you feed them with the right data! And day trading doesn’t do that.

Scalping the market is doomed to failure and it’s made even worse by the fact it ignores the fundamental rule of investing:

Run your profits to cover your inevitable losses.

You are going to have losses even the top traders have them, but you must keep them small and day trading or scalping FOREX markets does this and it of course has a lot of them!

FOREX scalping by its very nature doesn’t run profits.

So what do you end up with?

A lot of small profits ( and when your lucky enough to have a winner and it is down to luck) then you get a minor profits which can NEVER cover your losses.

FOREX scalping end up not with the trader scalping regular profits but the trader getting scalped for his entire equity.

FOREX scalping is illogical, based on meaningless data and doomed to failure.

If you want to trade avoid day trading unless of course you want to lose all your equity quickly.

Forex Scalping Systems - Why you Will Lose All your Money Quickly

Wherever you look on the net you will say adverts for forex scalping and day trading systems
which promise regular profits that can make you rich but there is a problem, none of them work, because forex scalping is based on logic that simply is not correct...

The problem of course is prices are determined by humans and I such short time spans as a day you have no way of knowing which way prices are going to go.

Millions of traders all using different methods and governed by the emotions of greed and fear cannot be predicted in such short time spans. This means that daily volatility is random, prices can and do go anywhere in a day and support and resistance is meaningless.

You will always see track records that make huge profits presented but they are all done knowing the closing prices! Let's face it if a track record looks to good to be true it normally is and this applies to forex scalping and day trading systems.

You can simply look for a disclaimer and you will normally find this one or similar on any track record.

"CFTC RULE 4.41 - HYPOTHETICAL OR SIMULATED PERFORMANCE RESULTS HAVE CERTAIN LIMITATIONS. UNLIKE AN ACTUAL PERFORMANCE RECORD, SIMULATED RESULTS DO NOT REPRESENT ACTUAL TRADING. ALSO, SINCE THE TRADES HAVE NOT BEEN EXECUTED, THE RESULTS MAY HAVE UNDER-OR-OVER COMPENSATED FOR THE IMPACT, IF ANY, OF CERTAIN MARKET FACTORS, SUCH AS LACK OF LIQUIDITY. SIMULATED TRADING PROGRAMS IN GENERAL ARE ALSO SUBJECT TO THE FACT THAT THEY ARE DESIGNED WITH THE BENEFIT OF HINDSIGHT. NO REPRESENTATION IS BEING MADE THAT ANY ACCOUNT WILL OR IS LIKELY TO ACHIEVE PROFIT OR LOSSES SIMILAR TO THOSE SHOWN".

Of course if we all knew today's prices in advance, we would all be rich but we don't.

Forex trading is harder - you have to trade going forward not backwards.

Vendors who sell these systems simply use hyped copy and a simulated track record to appeal to naïve or greedy traders - they know the system doesn't work, so they don't bother trading it - they simply make up a track record.

Despite the hype, forex scalping doesn't work and you need to trade the odds to win and that simply is not possible in short time frames.

There are two ways to make money in forex trading, you can either swing trade which takes advantage of trends that last for a few days to a few weeks, or long term trend follow which takes advantage of moves that last for weeks or months.

If you want to enjoy currency trading success, you need to trade the odds - to do this you must have valid data and data within a day or less is not valid.

Forex trading is not easy and you wouldn't expect it to be with the rewards on offer but if you learn forex trading the right way and spend some time on your forex education, you can make big profits and for the effort you put in no other business offers you more in terms of rewards.

So forget forex scalping systems and look to trade the odds, using valid data and this will lead you to currency trading success.

How to Limit Risk and Make Huge Profits

Forex scalpers aim to make small regular profits and in time build this up to a large income. Forex scalping is very popular and here we are going to look at how not to lose your money at it.

The best way not to lose money is not to even try it - it doesn't work, before we explain why you may wonder why you see so many courses and people claiming big gains so here is the answer - the gains are paper gains and not real money. Read the disclaimer below which you will always see or a similar one with any forex scalping system:

"CFTC RULE 4.41 - Hypothetical or simulated performance results have certain limitations. Unlike an actual performance record, simulated results do not represent actual trading. Also, since the trades have not been executed, the results may have under-or-over compensated for the impact, if any, of certain market factors, such as lack of liquidity. Simulated trading programs in general are also subject to the fact that they are designed with the benefit of hindsight. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profit or losses similar to those shown".

As you can see if a trading system carries the above it's of no real use in terms of indicating profitability. We can all make money knowing closing prices and past data - it's easy. In the real hard world of forex trading, you don't have this luxury.

So why is forex scalping doomed to failure? The answer lies in the data is not reliable and you cannot (no matter how clever your trading system is) get the odds on your side.

In currencies prices in a few hours can and do go any where volatility is random and support and resistance levels within a day simply cannot be used to get the odds on your side.

As all volatility is random you are destined to lose long term. If you think about this it's obvious:

Huge numbers of traders make the final price and they all have different motivations, skills and levels of emotion that input into their trading and to say this huge mass can be predicted in short time frames is ridiculous.

Not only do you have the above to contend with but forex scalping breaks a fundamental rule of trading:

Run your profits to cover your inevitable losses.
All trading systems have losses and drawdown periods and you need to run your profits to cover them. Now scalpers do get profits (everyone is lucky some time) but what do they do - Do they run it? Not a chance they bank it!

Of course luck doesn't last for ever and if you are trading with the odds against you your on borrowed time and will lose eventually it's just a question of when.
So if you want to keep your equity intact don't forex scalp - trade longer term and get the odds on your side. Sure, short term trading sounds great but the odds don't stack up it's a wonder that sane intelligent people in other walks of life think they can win with a made up track record and a system costing a few hundred bucks.

You can make a lot of money trading but forex scalping is doomed to failure - trade longer term, get the odds on your side and win.

Forex Scalping – Day Trading the Smaller Moves for Big Gains

The forex scalper who day traders does not look to make big profits per trade he seeks a lot of small profits over time that mount up and yield huge FX Profits overtime. Let’s look at forex scalping in more detail.

More novice traders try forex scalping than any other method and there is a huge industry on the net, which sells courses and forex day trading systems, to help them achieve their dreams.

Unfortunately, that’s all they are dreams - because Forex scalping simply has never worked and cannot work.

It simply guarantees you will get wiped out.

Why?

Its obvious and common sense. Millions of traders each day, trade trillions of dollars and to say that you can work out what this huge mass of traders will do in just a few hours, is laughable.

ALL Short term price moves are random.

Volatility can and does take prices anywhere in daily time frames and support and resistance levels are not valid - you can’t get the odds on your side and you will lose.

So Why Do So Many People Do it?

Well it’s a good story and the majority of forex scalping systems are sold with one aim in mind:

To make money the vendor is much to sensible to trade it himself – he makes his money appealing to greed and selling it to a naive buyer, who then losses.

The vendor pockets the profit and the buyer gets a hard lesson in the market he wont forget.

But I Have seen track records that make money!

Sure, you have – but check the disclaimer and you will see the words - "hypothetical" and "simulated".

Now this means that the track record was done in hindsight and simulated - KNOWING the closing prices!

How hard is that? A child, or anyone who can read and write can do that!

The problem with forex scalping comes when you have to trade it not knowing the closing prices, then the reality hits – a swift wipe-out of equity.

If you really want to prove this for yourself ask a vendor this simple question:

Can I please see YOUR track record of real time profits over 2 years or more?

Go ahead and try it and see what they say.

You won’t get one, or if you do, let me know - I have been asking this question for 25 years and never got one.

Forex day trading is a good story like little Harry Potter, the one the thing they have in common is their both made up.

So if you want to win and make money at forex trading, forget forex day trading and forex scalping and get the odds on your side.

This means, trading valid data and getting the odds on your side.

Try forex swing trading or long term trend following – both can work and you will be trading with the odds.

If you want to win at forex trading, then you need to do your homework and at least try methods that trade the odds, with forex scalping you could flip a coin and have as much chance of success.

Finally, maybe I am being a bit hard on scalpers and day traders if you find the elusive track record that makes money longer term, send it to me wonder what the odds are of that not happening?

Forex Scalping for Beginners - Learn This Simple Fact or Lose!

This article is all about forex scalping for beginners and a key fact you need to learn, if you are thinking of incorporating it in your forex trading strategy - If you don't understand this fact, you are 100% guaranteed to lose, so here it is...

Forex scalping is based on dumb logic and doesn't work. Before we look at why, lets dispel the myth that vendors selling scalping systems make money - they don't. You will always see this with any track record - read it carefully:

"CFTC RULE 4.41 - Hypothetical or simulated performance results have certain limitations. Unlike an actual performance record, simulated results do not represent actual trading. Also, since the trades have not been executed, the results may have under-or-over compensated for the impact, if any, of certain market factors, such as lack of liquidity. Simulated trading programs in general are also subject to the fact that they are designed with the benefit of hindsight. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profit or losses similar to those shown".

Personally I think the above should be banned and vendors should NOT be able to present track records that are not real, as they are totally meaningless.

Let's face it who couldn't make money knowing the closing prices?

My little Niece could beat George Soros (and she's only 9) if she knows the closing prices! The problem is we can all be multi millionaires quickly with this info - but trading forex is a little harder, we have to trade not knowing the prices in advance.

Check any forex scalping track record you like and you will see the above or a similar disclaimer. I did see one that printed the vendor's bank statements as proof the system made money but that profit was probably from selling systems not trading!

Of course there were no supporting broker statements.

So why is forex scalping destined to lose?

Think about how prices are determined:

Millions of traders all with different systems, motivations etc all as a mass group decide the price and you CANNOT Predict what this group will do in a matter of hours.

All short term volatility is random in nature, you cannot use short term levels of support and resistance, so you cannot get the odds in your favor and you therefore cannot win at forex scalping and that's a fact.

Forex scalping and day trading is an area where you won't make money, so don't bother trying. If you must trade short term use forex swing trading - its still short term but you can get the odds in your favor and that's what you need to win at forex trading.

Today there are many vendors who simply lie about the profit potential of forex scalping and hope the naïve or greedy trader falls for it - make sure you don't.

Forex scalping always reminds me of the old burger king ad where they claimed to have more beef in their burgers than McDonald's and in the ad the man picked the burger up and said:

"Where's the beef?"

In forex scalping terms translated means:

Where is the real audited track record?

To be fair it's not a fair comparison.

There was of course beef in the McDonalds burger - but you won't find any profits in the track record of a scalper, just a made up track record done without trading!

So our lesson is in terms of forex scalping for beginners - forget it, try a different way of making money in forex and if you want to trade short term - try swing trading.
