Learn to Day Trade Forex – Successfully and Quickly,
through Gap Trades
As you learn to day trade forex, and learn how to read forex charts, you’ll see that each forex currency trade will be different in value.One of the best currency trading tips I can give to people who are learning forex is to practice gap trades. Gap trades provide value in terms of reliability, which translates into money-making potential. A gap in the market is created when the open of a new candle happens away from the close of the previous candle. The value is found because the market will (almost) always move to close the gap. The most common time for a gap to form in the market is 17.00 Sunday New York time. This is a perfect time for me.
This is how I trade a gap:
1. Open charts. Wait for the market to open and the assess where the gap forms.
2. Gaps won’t always from. This is the way of the market. Be patient. You'll develop this patience as you continue to learn to day trade forex.
3. Once you have found the gap, open your 15-minute chart.
4. If the gap occurred when a candle opened below the rest of the market, wait for a bullish signal to form.
5. If the gap occurred when a candle opened above the rest of the market, wait for a bearish signal to form.
6. Enter the trade, ensuring you trade with a stop and using no more than 3% of your account’s equity.
7. Place your limit (point where you exit the trade) close to the most recent high/low of the market recently.
8. These trades won’t yield you a lot of pips per trade, so it’s wise to take your profits where you can. Where you’ll make your money is in the frequency of these trades. I will trade a gap almost every week.NEXT... Mallet formation
