Aroon can be used as a trend indicator but difficult to trade from, just set up moving averages and when all of them are in agreement enter some papertrades, these are better free trend indicators, more commonly used and generate pips if you use multiple timeframes for the averages.

Good trading

Forex Guide answers:

Most traders are aware of the two widely known approaches used to analyze a market, fundamental analysis and technical analysis. Many different methods can be used in each approach, but generally speaking fundamental analysis is concerned with the question of why something in the market will happen, and technical analysis attempts to answer the question of when something will happen.

There is, however, a third approach to analyzing a market. It combines the best of both fundamental and technical analysis into a singular approach that answers both questions of “why” and “when” simultaneously; this methodology is called volume spread analysis

What is Volume Spread Analysis?
Volume spread analysis seeks to establish the cause of price movements. The “cause” is quite simply the imbalance between supply and demand in the market, which is created by the activity of professional operators (smart money). Who are these professional operators? In any business where there is money involved and profits to make, there are professionals. There are professional car dealers, diamond merchants and art dealers as well as many others in unrelated industries. All of these professionals have one thing in mind; they need to make a profit from a price difference to stay in business. The financial markets are no different. Doctors are collectively known as professionals, but they specialize in certain areas of medicine; the financial markets have professionals that specialize in certain instruments as well: stocks, grains, FOREX, etc.

The activity of these professional operators, and more important, their true intentions, are clearly shown on a price chart if the trader knows how to read them. VSA looks at the interrelationship between three variables on the chart in order to determine the balance of supply and demand as well as the probable near term direction of the market. These variables are the amount of volume on a price bar, the price spread or range of that bar (do not confuse this with the bid/ask spread), and the closing price on the spread of that bar

Forex Guide answers:

1) Is it the “best”?……No.
2) It’s a good method when it “works”.
3) It’s better to develop your own method that you feel comfortable trading instead of buying somebody else’s that may not “fit” you properly.

Forex indicators are a series of different data points that are commonly used to predict movements of currencies in the Forex market. Before investing, an individual can have a clear view of what the advantages are from using these indicators. It is imperative to have a strong grasp of what the Forex market is, as well as how the trading commences in this particular ‘ in demand’ market.

Forex Guide answers:

I think you’ll find that they each have their own pros and cons. I personally trade with Oanda, because they have really tight spreads, although they do get larger when big news comes out. They do allow you to scalp. The only real downside is the leverage isn’t that great.

Hope this helps

I have never heard of any automated system that actually worked. There are a lot of people who will try to sell you a bunch of expensive software packages of question value however. Be careful.

Forex Guide answers:

I would suggest you to develop your own trading style based on some technical and fundamental analysis. A mixture of both will definitely help you to catter better results.
I am using Finexo as my forex trader and i use Scalping and Day trading both to increase my earning potential. For further information on Trading styles you can check out my blogs on forex.

Forex Guide answers:

The best way to learn is to test strategies out until you find a couple that work for you. Scalping is an art in Forex, but auto trading is a very powerful method. Find the one that you are comfortable with.

I have traded both MB Trading and FXCM live and have not had significant liquidity issues with either. However, to answer your question as to whether “most online brokers” are good at “hitting your limit buy and sell orders” mainly depends on the position size your attempting to enter the market with, the time of day and currency pair your attempting to trade.

And to answer your question whether your “simulator” will work with “one of these brokers” really depends on which code the simulator was created in. Is it an Expert Advisor coded for Metatrader? If so, MB Trading does not yet support the Metatrader software ( though are Rep there tells us they are working on it). MB uses the MBT Navigator which is much more difficult to create auto trading software for. FXCM recently began using Metatrader in conjunction with their FX Trading Station 2.0. Their Metatrader platform has huge drawbacks including not allowing demo accounts, not supporting multi-user accounts, and reportedly experiencing problems communicating between their FX Trading Station trade servers and their Metatrader Trade servers. I would recommend you google “Metatrader broker reviews” and find the brokers that best works for your situation.

I hope that I found an article that will probably answer your question.

Forex Guide answers:

Opening and closing prices in forex do not have the same weight they do in stock trading, since forex is a continous 24 hour market. If you are using a 5 and 6 day EMA, and trading the crossovers, you might get many false signals. Test EMA 5 over EMA 13 on the close prices.

I have never used the Heiken-Ashi, but the MACD is pretty accurate on the daily chart when it gives bullish or bearish divergences and that is confirmed by a crossover or another signal elsewhere.

Back testing has the drawback of allowing the trader to ‘curve-fit’ the chart, better to test how the indicators perform in a demo account.

ADX is an okay indicator, but proper use of EMA with MACD will probably give better trade calls over the long term than the ADX alone.

Do not neglect the fundamental picture and know when to stay out of the market (major data, announcements), practise, practise, practise.

And good luck.

Forex Guide answers:

Essentially, yes. Perceptions of a “rising economy” will tend to move capital out of relatively low-yield bonds and into equities. Thus, the bond yields rise because demand for them slackens.

It is NOT wise to ‘invest’ anywhr if you’ve got NO idea what you’re doing.

We don’t invest, we actually trade the markets.

Personally, I don’t believe that any market is different for a trader to make some descent profits. Ofcourse the factors and angles are different for each segments – such as stock/commodity/currency but overall intention is same.

Forex Guide answers:

Investopedia.com has a stock simulator where you can buy/sell/trade stock with fake money. The stocks are traded in real time just like the real stocks and it tracks the gains and losses as well.

Forex Guide answers:

There are many indicators that can give you some idea in which direction the currency price will move, but there is absolutely no way to guarantee that the price will move in expected direction.

Some of the obvious indicators in forex would be for example some political and economic situation on a larger scale that could lead to the change of currency price. This is known in forex as fundamental analysis.

There is a free e-book you can download that can explain you more about how this works. You can find e-book on this website:

Forex Guide answers:

To be honest what you mentioned suggests that you think that Forex may be a way to make money overnight. It is not. Forex trading is a business and needs to be treated as a business. And any business needs in-depth understanding of the concepts, pros and cons. Don’t jump into it and I would even say don’t even jump iinto it with even a demo account. Demo accounts can be two way swords. Early success and early failure may taint our decision makings when we are faced with the real thing with real money. The reason is simple that during demo, we do not face one of the most important aspects of trading and that is psychological aspect. Study, study and study first. Read a lot.
