The current economic environment is leaving many people feeling uncertain about Share Trading, one only has to observe the charts and read the news on businesses in strife, to realise how fraught with risk the Share market is. Yes there is still profits in it, and with many stocks available at relative bargain prices, there are opportunities to make good long term profits.

Because of this, many investors are now switching their gaze to the Forex markets as an alternative income generator. There are a number of ways to trade Forex, Long term or Scalping, the list goes on, but there is one thing they all share, a high level of risk if you don’t know what you are doing.

So it does not really matter how you decide to approach your foray into Forex trading, if you would like to hang on to your money instead of rip it up at an alarming rate, you are going to have to learn Forex trading before you start committing any hard earned cash.

A good starting point is offered by Babypips.com, it’s free and you will get to know some important terms, but they do not train you into how to develop Forex trading strategies.

What is a Forex trading strategy? Simply put, it is a system for setting money management rules, analysing the progression of a chart, establishing a possible trade entry point (Setup), confirming the entry point, opening a trade, establishing an exist strategy to both minimise losses and to take profits.

A trading strategy is critical to Forex trading, it establishes and guides your every move when formulating, entering and exiting a trade, and without it, you will find it very difficult to work out why things work and why they fail.

In your early days of trading, a trading strategy provides the basis for trading your Demo account. These are offered to you by most brokers and allow you to make some test trades, without risking real money. You set an account balance and trade it real time testing your trading strategy and watch your balance either grow or vanish. You’ll soon see if the strategy you are testing stacks up!

To get you started with a specific trading strategy for profiting from market rebounds, there is a free video course which will teach you a trade called the “Rubber Band Trade” and shows you what is involved in developing a trading strategy.

It’s a very profitable trading strategy developed by a Professional Trader and covers the technical analysis for all stages of this specific trade. Once you have watched this strategy on a Demo account and made it work consistently, you can use it on a real account and start making some money whilst you develop and test other trading strategies that will make your Forex trading a success.
