Forex Guide: Things That Every Beginner Traders Should Know Before They Start Trading in Forex

Its a fact that forex trading became a highly preferable investment method in the last decade. Combined with the internet as a global 24/7 network forex is reachable to everyone. I’ll not give you about the basic explanation of forex trading in this article. I’m sure that i don’t have to tell what forex trading is. People which familiar or have an interest in an investment know forex already. Don’t they?

Forex trading is basically just an investment

As any other investment, there are always benefits and risks beyond forex trading. Many people/organization, especially forex brokers, its affiliate and those who earn their income by providing some forex related services says that forex trading have so much advantages compared to other investments; Forex is easy, with its non-stop 24 hours market, its wide range adjustable leverage, its automated trading platform, its offered better opportunity for income resource, and many more — you name it as much as you want to…

Blinded by its ‘beautiful dream imagination’, many small/personal traders, especially for the new ones forgot that forex trading is basically still an investment program. Traders should never have a thought that forex trading is an income resource.

Common Beginner Traders Scenario

Beginner forex traders are usually follow the trend of forex trading without preparing and providing them self with an adequate understanding about whats inside forex trading. Their common scenarios are:

1. Know about forex trading

2. Have an interest in forex trading

3. Looking for an easy and profitable forex services

(Usually by looking for some services with less margin, high leverage, automated trading platform, and less risk? – which is too good to be true)

4. Start gambling with their trades

5. Unable to achieve profits as what their imagination

6. Repeating scenarios 3, 4 and 5

7. Repeating scenarios 3, 4 and 5 again… and again…

8. Realizing that they are loosing too much or that their imagination along these days/weeks/months is wrong (i doubt that it would reach years)

9. Give up and quit their trading for good.

Where did they do wrong in above scenario? Is that wrong to always searching for a better service to back up our trade? In my point of view, there are no mistakes in that scenario at all. But its just incomplete, and that’s the most dangerous mistakes made by most beginner traders.

How to Overcome Traders Mistakes and Begin to Make Some Profits in Forex

The facts are, there are just 5% of forex traders which successes with their trading. To become as they are, we should insert step 2.5 in scenario above. This step will simplify above scenarios by eliminating the fourth and eighth and changing ninth step became TRADERS GOAL ACHIEVED.

2.5 Preparing yourself with a solid basic knowledge of forex trading

- Learn about what and how forex market really is

- Train yourself to getting familiar with the technical analysis in forex trading

- Learn how psychological factor affecting in the trading and define our best trading personality

- Be aware in our risk and money management

- Develop your most effective unique trading system based on your knowledge.

We should keep in mind deeply that forex trading is an investment. There is no way that we could be a master in some investment that we’ve just dive in to for days or weeks. We have to do it by the right way, and don’t forget to eliminate your rush in the goal achievement. You will surely find your best trading system that suits you, I guarantee that. But it would cost you some time for several trial and error system testing while you developing your experience in forex trading.

By using an analogical approach as a computer, forex broker is the application programs and operating system. We do need them to make sure that all we need its done, served and executed properly. But, how good the computerization execution speed and its performance are depends on the basic computer specification, which analogically as you.

Forex Income Engine 2.0 Review

Forex Income Engine 2.0 is a day trading course from Bill Poulos that provides you with 3 separate intraday trading methods. These methods can be used in any time frame so are therefore ideal for day traders, or people who only have a limited amount of time to trade every day.

I was lucky enough to receive a review copy of the Forex Income Engine 2.0 course prior to it’s official launch so let me give you my full review of this product:

Forex Income Engine 2.0 Course Contents

The course itself is a physical product that is delivered directly to your door. It consists of 7 CD-ROMs, full colour reference manuals in a 3-ring binder, trading blueprints that summarise each of the 3 trading methods and a quick start guide to get you up and running.

The 7 CD-ROMs are as follows:

- Bonus Module – Forex And Trading Basics (51 minutes)

- Module 1 – Background And Overview (39 minutes)

- Module 2 – Ignition Method (98 minutes)

- Module 3 – Overdrive Method (62 minutes)

- Module 4 – Spring Method (67 minutes)

- Module 5 – Forex Brokers, Charting Software And Trading Platforms (85 minutes)

- Module 6 – Bringing It All Together (46 minutes)

Trading Method 1 – Ignition Method

The Ignition Method is a simple trading method that targets short-term continuation trends. Trades typically last between 2 and 6 bars and the profit objective can be anywhere between 10 and 50 pips, depending on the time frame you are trading and the set-up conditions of the trade.

This method, just like the two methods below, employs a two-part exit strategy which helps you to maximise your profits, whilst using a strict stop loss policy to minimize your losses.

Trading Method 2 – Overdrive Method

The Overdrive Method is my favourite method because it’s gets you into a trade near the beginning of some of the strongest trends that occur throughout the day. Profit objectives are in the region of 25-100 pips (depending on which time frame you use) and I have to say that most of the time these objectives are fulfilled.

I’ve been testing this method out on various time frames from 5 minutes up to 30 minutes and my overall success rate is extremely high, particularly on the 15 minute and 30 minute charts where the trends are a lot stronger.

Trading Method 3 – Spring Method

The final method included in the Forex Income Engine 2.0 course is the Spring Method. This method looks for trend reversals and typical profit targets are again between 25 and 100 pips.

The problem with this method is that you don’t tend to get as many set-ups as the previous two methods. However from the limited amount of back-testing I’ve done on this method, it does nevertheless appear to generate some decent profits when set-ups do occur.

I don’t personally think I will be using this method as much as the previous two methods, but it’s certainly a set-up that you need to keep your eye on because as Bill points out in his course, when a Spring Method trend reversal is in progress, you obviously don’t want to be trading either of the other trend-following methods because they will usually fail.

As I’ve already said, these specific reversal patterns do not occur that often so most of the time you can concentrate on trading the Ignition Method and the Overdrive Method, which is what I’ve been doing.

Additional Modules

One thing I like about the Forex Income Engine 2.0 course is that as well as the 3 profitable trading methods, there are also modules covering risk management and discipline, which are two crucial elements of successful forex trading. Plus if you are a relatively inexperienced trader, there is also a bonus module that will teach you everything you need to know about forex trading. So this course really does cater for all traders, regardless of their experience.

Learning The Methods

The methods themselves are relatively straight forward. They all use the same 4 technical indicators and these indicators are commonly found in any charting platform.

Each method is explained in great detail and is demonstrated numerous times using lots of different examples of live trades. However I personally had to watch each video about four or five times before I became fully familiar with the intricacies of each method. It’s the little things like learning where to place your stops, and where to move your stops as trades move in your favour that take the most time to learn.

If you do buy the course, however, you do have an advantage because you are given trading blueprints of each individual method which you can keep next to your computer for easy reference. (I didn’t have this luxury when I received a review copy of this course which is probably why it took longer to learn each method).

How Profitable Are The Forex Income Engine Methods?

I’ve now had time to test out all of the methods and overall the success rate seems to be very high for each of the methods, and best of all they do genuinely seem to be profitable on all the intraday time frames (although I find the 15 minute time frame to be the most profitable).

It’s obvious to me that each of these methods has been tested over and over again because the stop losses and exit points have clearly been designed to extract maximum profits from each and every trade.

In my experience the Overdrive Method is the one with the highest success rate and is easily my favourite method of the three. I’ve been trading this method on the 15 minute charts of the GBP/USD, EUR/USD and USD/JPY pairs and I’ve been experiencing a winning ratio of over 90% in the last week or so. After a while you get to know which set-ups are most likely to be profitable so it almost becomes second nature.

The Ignition Method isn’t quite as reliable, particularly on the shorter time frames, but nevertheless it can still boast a success rate of around 60% in my experience, and even higher if you use the 15 minute chart or above. Therefore it’s still very profitable because you have to remember that the profitable trades will more than compensate for any losses that you may incur because of the two part exit strategy that is employed. Therefore this method still has the potential to increase your account in the long run and I will certainly be continuing to use it on the 15 minute charts.

The Spring Method also appears to be profitable but I haven’t tested it out that much to be honest. You wouldn’t want to be trading this method in isolation because there are very few set-ups that meet the criteria, but to be fair the price does seem to reverse nicely, and therefore generate some decent returns, on the rare occasions when these conditions are met.

Final Comments On The Forex Income Engine 2.0 Course

I’ve always been slightly critical about day trading because I’ve never found any trading methods that have been able to generate consistent returns on these shorter time frames. However I have to say that Forex Income Engine 2.0 is easily the best day trading course I’ve ever come across because the methods themselves, particularly the Overdrive and Ignition Methods, are actually profitable.

What I like about these systems is there is a clear logic behind them. Any losses you incur are kept small whilst the winning trades employ a two part exit strategy, just like I do with my 4 hour trading strategy, in that half the position is closed for a small profit, and the second half of the position is left to run until it’s conclusion, and essentially becomes a free position because you will have moved the stop loss up to break-even by this point.

Another reason why I’m a big fan of this course is that the methods themselves can be used throughout the day if you so wish because they trade a variety of different trading conditions. For example you can use the Overdrive Method to get you into a trade at the start of any strong trends, then you can use the Ignition Method to trade any continuation trends that may occur after a brief pull-back. Finally if the right conditions are met you can then use the Spring Method to trade any trend reversals.

So overall I can highly recommend the Forex Income Engine 2.0 course. It’s not cheap by any means but I think that in this case the price really does reflect the quality of the product. You are paying for 3 profitable day trading methods that you can use for the rest of your life, so in the long run it could easily turn out to be a fantastic investment.

If you’re not entirely satisfied with the product you can always return it within 90 days and receive a full refund, but if you take the time to go through all of the materials and learn each of the methods, I really don’t think you will want to return the product.

Anyway I think I’m ready to wrap up this review now. I didn’t intend it to be this long but I really am very enthusiastic about this course and wanted to get across all of the main points.

If you do have any questions about the course you are given unlimited email support for a year after purchasing the course and if you buy the course from the link below, I will be happy to assist you myself as well via email because I’m now using these methods myself on a daily basis.
