The cross currency pairs can really deliver for forex traders

The cross-currency pairs can really deliver for forex traders As forex traders, we tend to focus on the currency majors, but if you open your eyes and move to some of the cross-currency pairs, you will be surprised at the strong trends they can deliver.

Using the renko indicator on MT4 or MT5 to find trades in forex

Using the renko indicator on MT4 or MT5 to find trades in forex

Using the renko indicator on MT4 or MT5 to find trades in forex In this video we explain how to use the renko indicator on MT4 or MT5 to find trades as a scalping trader in forex. The renko chart is a perfect way to trade as it reveals the momentum in the market, something you never see on a time based chart.

This is what governs the open and close of the brick and once this metric has been met, the renko brick is closed and moves on to build the next. https://youtu.be/f_A9AyyJ7fs 00:14 Analyzing slower vs faster time frames 00:14 The speaker discusses analyzing slower time frames for trading decisions, contrasting this with their current focus on faster time frames.

To trade the euro you need to understand this first

To trade the euro you need to understand this first The euro is a political currency and forex traders often wonder why such a currency moves in the way it does, with today being a classic example. An agreement has supposedly been reached about future policy by the member states, yet the euro has fallen and the answer lies in the bond markets and in particular the bond spreads.

Volume price analysis reveals the truth behind the price action

Volume price analysis reveals the truth behind the price action Many traders rely on price alone to forecast future direction, yet this is only half the picture, a two dimensional one at best.

Buy when they buy, sell when they sell and stay out when they do - it's that simple. https://youtu.be/OOl83EVD6zA 00:10 Introduction to volume price analysis and sentiment trading 00:10 The speaker discusses a reversal pattern observed on the Canadian pound using a Renko chart and introduces a sentiment trading website featured in a recent Forex webinar.
