How To Determine The Best Forex Trading Strategy

By: Ray Lam.

Forex trading can be tough if you do not know what you are doing. The Forex exchange market is comprised of traders, money managers, investors and speculators all striving to attain maximum profits on investment. So as a trader you should have good knowledge about Forex trading, the strong currency pairs and the various market conditions. Thus each and every forex trader has different strategies in Forex trading.

The usual way most traders would want to test their forex trading systems is to use a forex strategy builder and back test on historical data, and then to discover what parameters in that trading strategy are important to the results, and to forward test again on past historical data to check the results.

Some traders will merely back test historical data, and then run the system to test on simulated data. If they find that the system could generate good results based on the system parameters, they then adopt the system for actual use in real trading instead of a paper trade.

The Moving Average Convergence Divergence Method uses standard settings with any time frame and any currency pairs. This method is used to CLOSE the position in the forex market. When the MACD lines crossover appears indicates the buying signal and when next MACD lines crossover occurs it indicates a selling signal.

A general guideline for testing a forex trading system with individual stock data is this - if you find the forex trading system to perform well with an individual stock data, returning profits consistently, you can have reasonable confidence that the same forex trading system will function as well for trading forex itself. If the forex trading system does not perform well with stocks and shares, the general understanding is that the system may not be robust enough for the volatility and velocity of trades inherent with trading forex.
