How to Read a Forex Chart
The forex chart is among the most essential tools in a forex trader’s arsenal. Simply put, it is a graph of a particular currency pair’s performance over a given period of time. Reading forex charts is key to a trader’s business, so it’s important to know how to read them and understand what they mean.
Every forex chart will be labeled with a currency pair: EUR/USD, USD/GBP, etc. Remember, all forex trading deals with different countries’ currency in relation to each other. The EUR/USD chart, for example, tells you how the euro and the U.S. dollar compare.
Along the bottom of the chart is the timeline — 15 minutes, an hour, a day, a week, or some other period. Going up the right-hand side are incremental amounts. For the EUR/USD chart, the amounts might be 1.2531 at the bottom, going up to 1.2561 at the top. And of course the middle of the chart shows what position the EUR/USD pair held at what time.
The forex chart is useful because it shows in clear terms how a currency pair is performing. You can see at a glance whether a currency is getting stronger or weaker, and you can act accordingly. Selecting the time frame helps you see very minor trends (in a 15-minute period, say) or more long-term ones (over the course of several days, as an example).
You can find forex charts all over the Internet, on Web sites for forex brokers, tutors, and on other forex-related sites. Those are acceptable for looking at trends now and then. But to be a serious trader, you need to have access to charts much more readily, without having to go to a Web site. Fortunately there is trading software that fills that gap by providing you forex charts, too (you need to have broadband Internet so you can be “always connected”). Being able to access the latest charts is key to successful trading.
With dozens of world currencies, there are far too many possible currency pairs for anyone to keep track of mentally. Forex charts show at a glance how currency pairs are performing, and good software helps you to store a selection of charts as “favorites.” You’ll want to keep an eye on the charts that represent investments you’ve already made, and it’s smart to have a few extra saved, too, so you can watch for trends in currencies you haven’t traded yet. You never know when a lucrative new opportunity is going to be revealed.
How to Find the Best Online Business Training Available - FREE!
By Allen Jossim
Everywhere you turn opportunities for online business training abound. Most of these courses claim to make you fabulously successful in no time flat. But do they deliver? Are they worth the cost? Check out this source of FREE training before you make your choice!
Business training is typically obtained from either formal education or on the job training. Business Education is often a broad brush approach covering of a wide range of business theory with very little real world exposure. Actual on the job training however, is where theory meets reality and money is made or lost. During on the job training you learn how the business works. Money is on the line and mistakes must be avoided.
Almost every online business training course falls into the education category. Heavy on theory and talk of how much money you can make but extremely light on actual step by step examples to implement the ideas discussed. So how do you find on the job training when the typical internet company does not hire employees?
The best and most effective training you can find is in affiliate programs.
Go to ClickBank and check out any of the opportunities with affiliate programs that offer affiliate sales material. This is where you will find reality. It often looks like nothing but sales propaganda aimed at you, but think about it.
The success of the affiliates directly affects the success of the parent company. It is in the company’s best interest to assure that its’ affiliates have nothing but the finest information and knowledge to work with. The parent company wants you, as an affiliate, to succeed! Many companies offer free, detailed, step by step instruction on how to sell their product.
Here is what I found in just one company affiliate site FREE: A website to sell from, a list of websites to advertise on, copy and paste audio and text links for your website, actual emails to send out, actual articles, blog posts and ezine ads to copy and paste into your site, auto responder information and much more. The site ends with a detailed, step by step, day by day process of how to set up, implement and monitor your entire sales campaign. A treasure trove of free knowledge!
Combine this targeted on the job training with a general overview education of how online businesses work and you have quite an education. And the best part of all, it is FREE!
