Information About Forex Trading Systems

What is a forex trading system?

A forex trading system is a set of indicators and commands that are supposed to be executed for a profit on the forex market. These systems are developed with knowledge in statistics and historical market behavior.

What should a good forex system have?

1. Proof - when developing a system, it's important to see whether it would have worked in the past. This is a crucial step in developing a system, since if it does not work on past data, it will probably not work on future data.

2. Reason - a good system should have a reason behind its mechanics. Although there are some systems that have weird, yet working logic, most systems need to have a good reason for its inner workings.

3. Ability to work on all common market conditions - good forex trading systems need to work on most market conditions: up, down, sideways, slow days, and fast days. A system that works only in one direction or under one condition may become useless when the market conditions change, and in the forex market those conditions change rapidly.

4. Technical support - common scam systems used to be sold with no technical support. If the user got stuck, it was his own problem. A good trading system has a good support support system behind it to answer any question and solve any problem that may be encountered.
