البداية
Getting Started


.Forex (or FX) refers to the foreign exchange markets, where currencies are traded
It is the biggest and fastest growing financial market in the world, with an average
daily turnover of almost $2 trillion – many times the total traded volume of the US
.stock exchanges



The forex market consists of a worldwide wired network of buyers and sellers of
currencies, with trading all done over-the-counter (OTC), which means that there
is no central exchange and clearinghouse where orders are matched. If you are
looking for 24-hour action, you can find it in this global trading system, where no
physical barriers exist and activity moves seamlessly from one major financial
.centre to another


A reason why there is a veil of mystery over forex is that the market was once the
,exclusive playground of banks, hedge funds, corporations and financial institutions
,where money changed hands for commercial and speculative purposes. However
forex has now expanded and is easily accessible to all traders with the rapid
emergence of online currency trading platforms. Many of these platforms are wellequipped
with free charting software, real-time news-feeds and easy-to-use order
placing systems


The wide availability of sophisticated technology has spawned a whole new level
of foreign exchange, where self-directed (so-called “retail”) traders can easily buy
,and sell currencies through an internet connection with a click of the mouse
dealing with invisible counter-parties on the other side of the transaction. This


group of people (also known as
speculative traders) engage in trading forex for the
sole purpose of making profits

Welcome to the new world of online forex trading


The rapid fluctuations of currency exchange rates are what attract speculators to the
forex market as currencies are highly sensitive, and thus react very fast to changing
economic conditions of countries or regions, changing interest rates and political
happenings around the world. Sometimes central banks of countries attempt to
intervene in the forex market if the policy-makers feel that their country’s currency
is too strong or too weak for their own good. All these factors lead to high volatility
of currency prices, which can be taken advantage of by traders who speculate on
.the direction and magnitude of the current and future price move


I would like to point out that while movements in certain currency pairs can be
,quite volatile in nature, most major currencies generally move less than 1% daily
which is much lower than that of active stocks, which can easily move between5 10%per day. For a rough guide of currency pairs and their relative volatility, refer
.to Figure 1.1 under “Warming Up” in the later part of this chapter


Forex has increasingly become an extremely attractive alternative asset group for
speculators to trade, in addition to the usual staple of stocks and futures


Anyone can trade forex, but not every one can be profitable. That’s the rule of any
game –


not every one can win

Trading Time Frames
Before you enter into a position, you need to know – beforehand – when you are
,going to exit the market. A trader is not going to hold onto a position indefinitely
that’s for sure. Knowing the time frame of how long you wish to hold onto your
open position will determine your exit points and prices. If you choose to hold a
position for, say, a week, your profit objective would naturally be higher than if you
were to hold it for a few hours because you would expect the price to move further
given the longer period of time

This is a personal decision which has to be made by the trader, depending on his or
her risk tolerance level, lifestyle desired, and the amount of time to be dedicated to
analyzing the market
:There are mainly four different types of trading time frames
1scalping
2day trading
3swing trading
4position trading
:These are explained below
1Scalping
This is the shortest time frame in trading; it exploits small changes in currency
prices. It describes the ultra-rapid action of opening and closing of a position within
a few seconds or minutes, with the aim of stealing a few pips from each trade. The
profit of the winning trade is small, while the number of such winning trades should
be big enough so that these small profits can add up to a decent amount
Scalpers usually need to have access to the tightest spreads and fastest connection
speeds possible, in order to carry out this bullet-speed trading with the tiny profits
They tend to do this many times a day so as to accumulate the little profits that are
harvested

Losses must be limited such that one large loss does not wipe out the profits gained
from many winning trades
Many forex market makers discourage this type of trading as they find it difficult
to cover the opposite side of the transactions, given the fast speed and numerous
orders entered into their systems

2Day trading
Day trading is one of the more popular types of trading, whereby traders open and
close positions within a day. They also do not hold their positions overnight
because of the added risk of not knowing if prices would change dramatically while
they sleep. The holding period of their trades may range from minutes to hours
Day trading relies heavily on intraday momentum to bring the current price to the
desired price level in one direction. Day traders are looking out for signs that a
currency pair has a high probability of moving in a particular direction, going from
point X to point Y, within a day regardless of whether the price is moving in a trend
or range
Day traders tend to wait for good trading opportunities, instead of trading
frantically like scalpers tend to do. This style of trading involves intense
concentration from the trader as positions must be closely monitored on the price
charts
3Swing trading
Swing traders hold their positions for a few days, but seldom more than a week
Identifying and riding on trends early is the central objective of this trading style
and the profit objective tends to be set higher than that of day trading since the
swing trader is expecting that by holding out for a few days, there is a better chance
of capturing a larger price move. Unlike the day trader, the swing trader has to
endure overnight risk
As swing trading requires much less minute-to-minute monitoring of the market
.this type of trading is generally preferred by people who hold day jobs
My opinion is that swing traders must still keep up-to-date with the latest
fundamental and technical changes in the market, even when they are not
.monitoring the market all the time
4Position trading
Position trading spans the longest period of time, and refers to traders holding their
position for weeks or even months. Position traders seek to identify and trade
currency pairs that signal that a medium to long term trend is playing out – but will
take more than a few days to play out. Their positions are usually closed before the
trend runs out of power. This trading time frame is the least time-consuming one
among all the different ones, as there is not much need for intensive monitoring.
Many position traders place a trailing stop which automatically closes their position
if the price retraces past a particular point
Choosing a time-frame
As a general rule of thumb: the smaller the time frame you trade then the more time
is needed to be devoted to monitoring the markets
Someone who day trades tends to be more in touch with the price swings and
goings-on of the market as positions are opened and closed during the same day
Whereas at the end of the spectrum, a position trader does not have to monitor the
market so intensively
Risk-wise, I would say that the longer the time frame used in trading, the more risk
has to be assumed by the trader. This is simply because the market has more time
to move against them, and can move much further against them than it can in a
smaller time frame
Many of the strategies mentioned in this book are meant for short-term trading
However, you may decide on the length of your holding period to suit your personal
preference by adjusting the profit target and stop-loss accordingly. Of course, the
size of profit objective and stop-loss will be proportional to the length of your
holding period – the shorter your time frame, the smaller your profit target and
stop-loss should be; the longer the trading time frame, the wider your profit target
.and stop-loss can be

Strategy 1
Market Sentiment
? How do you view the forex market
Do you see it as a big mechanical matrix which is devoid of emotionsOr do you
think of it in mathematical and probability terms? Perhaps, you may even view it
as just a vast network of computers which are designed to cheat the trader sitting in
front of his or her computer and trading electronically. Most traders I know have a
love-hate relationship with the forex market, thinking that the market is, in turn,
either against them or for them
To me, the forex market is nothing more than the compressed display of emotions
at any one time emanating from currency speculators around the world. It is similar
to a big living organism, like a human being, which is made up of numerous cells
with each cell carrying out its own function and interacting with other cells of the
body, working to keep the body alive with round-the-clock chemical and biological
processes
The forex market is alive as a macro living organism, which comprises a vast
number of market participants acting out their perceptions and emotions, thus
driving the blood around the invisible entity. The participation of each player
whether the player is an institutional dealer or an independent trader, is akin to the
individual functioning of a cell, which collectively will constitute the whole
organism – the forex market in this case. Knowing what the market thinks and how
it thinks is crucial to trading success because, ultimately, the trader is dealing with
other traders out there, and needs to know what they are thinking. Even if you see
the market as an enemy, what could be better than knowing the weak points and
?being able to read the mind of your adversary
In this chapter, I shall focus on how you can better understand the market, and use
.that knowledge as one of your trading weapons

?What Is Market Sentiment
Market sentiment is simply what the majority of the market is perceived to be
thinking or feeling about the market – it is the most important factor that drives the
currency market
This is so because traders tend to act based on what they feel and think of certain
currencies, regarding their strength or weakness relative to other currencies. I will
assume that when you trade currencies, you don’t blindfold yourself to simply pick
any pair to buy or sell, leaving it to randomness to determine your profit/loss
statement at the end of the day or month
Market sentiment sums up the overall dominating emotion of the majority of the
market participants, and explains the current actions of the market, as well as the
future course of actions of the market. The trend adopted by the forex market is
actually a reflection of the current market sentiment, which in turn guides the
.trading decisions of other traders, whether they should long or short a currency pair
In the process of making educated trading decisions, traders have to weigh a
multitude of factors which could influence the bias of a currency, before making up
their minds about the current and future state of certain currencies. One thing to
note is that market sentiment is not logical; it is primarily based on traders’
emotions, which is really one of the greatest, if not the greatest, factor in the
determination of a currency exchange rate
There are three main types of sentiment when it comes to forming opinions in the
:forex market
1bullish
2bearish or
3just plain confused

If the majority of the market wants to sell that currency, the market sentiment is
deemed to be bearish; if the majority wants to buy that currency, the market
sentiment is bullish; and when most market participants are unsure of what to do at
the moment, the sentiment ends up being mixed. Since the US dollar is the currency
on the opposite side of 80% of all foreign exchange transactions, most traders will
be concerned with what the market thinks about the US dollar. Currency prices
simply embody the market’s perceptions of reality and the sum total of
traders’ emotions
Market sentiment acts like a fickle lover, capable of changing its mind based on
certain incoming new information which can upset the existing sentiment. One
moment everyone could be buying the US dollar in anticipation of a stronger dollar;
the next second they could all be dumping it as they fear the dollar would start to
weaken due to the impact of some new piece of information, which is almost
always some fundamental news

Understanding the current market sentiment and exploiting it appropriately with the
other strategies discussed in this book can help maximise your trading profits
because if you can guess what the other market players are thinking about, and
understand why the market is doing what it is doing, you will be in a better position
to plan your entry and exit points and timing

What Factors Influence Market
?Sentiment
Interest rates
Trends in interest rates are one of the most significant factors influencing market
sentiment, as interest rates play a huge role affecting the supply and demand
of currencies
Every currency in the world has interest rates attached to them, and these rates are
decided by central banks. For example, the Fed in the US determines the country’s
interest rates; the Bank of Japan (BOJ) sets Japan’s interest rates; the Reserve Bank
of New Zealand (RBNZ) decides on New Zealand’s interest rates and so on. Some
currencies have higher interest rates than others, and these are usually the
currencies that attract the most attention from savvy international investors who are
always looking across the global landscape in the continual search for a better
interest rate yield on fixed-income investments. This, of course, also depends on the
geopolitical or economic risks of that particular currency. Just like when a bank
lends money to a higher-risk borrower, high-risk currencies require a significantly
higher interest rate for investors to consider keeping money in those currencies
?What causes fluctuations in interest rates
The value of money can and does decrease when there is an upward revision of
prices of most goods and services in a country. Generally, when a country’s
economy expands or when energy costs go up, goods ranging from clothing, food
to computers, and services ranging from public transport to spa treatments get more
expensive, thus eroding the value of money. The nice word for this erosion in value
is, of course,
inflation

Controlling inflation
Central banks are responsible for ensuring price stability in their own country, and
one of the ways they employ to fight inflationary pressures is through the setting of
interest rates. If inflation risks are seen to be edging upward in, say, the US, the Fed
would raise the federal funds rate, which is the rate at which banks charge each
other for overnight loans. When the overnight rate is changed, retail banks will
change their prime lending rates accordingly, hence affecting businesses and
individuals. An increase in interest rates is an attempt to make money more
expensive to borrow so that there will be a gradual decrease in demand for that
currency, thus slowing down an overheated economy. The opposite scenario is true
too: when a country faces deflation, or even decreased inflation, which is often the
result of decreased spending, whether by the government, consumers or investors
it prompts the central bank to lower interest rates so as to stimulate spending
Interest rates and currencies
The most important way in which interest rates can influence currency prices is
through the widespread practice of the
carry trade

A carry trade involves the borrowing and subsequent selling of a certain currency
with a relatively low interest rate, then using the funds to buy a currency which
gives a higher interest rate, in an attempt to gain the difference between these two
rates – which is known as the
interest rate differential. The trader is paid interest
on the currency he or she is long in, and must pay interest on the currency he or she
is shorting. This difference is the
cost of carry. Therefore, a currency with a higher
interest rate tends to be highly sought after by investors looking for a higher return
on their investments

Rising interest rates in a country tends to strengthen that country’s currency relative
to other currencies as investors exchange other currencies to buy the currency of
that country when they transfer their assets into the country with the higher interest
rates. The increased demand for that particular currency will thus push up the
currency price against other currencies
For instance, in 2005 there was a strong interest among Japanese investors to invest
in New Zealand dollar-denominated assets due to rising interest rates in New
Zealand. The then near-zero interest rates in Japan forced a lot of Japanese
investors to look outside of their country for better yields on cash deposits or fixedincome
instruments. See
New Zealand Dollar/Japanese Yen (Nov 2004 – Dec 2005

When forex traders anticipate this kind of situation, they become more inclined to
buy that high-interest-rate currency as well, knowing that there is likely to be
massive buying interest for that currency
For example, if the Fed announces a series of interest rate hikes in the US, whereas
the Bank of Japan has no intention to raise rates in Japan, there is bound to be more
buying interest for USD/JPY, thus pushing up the US dollar against the Japanese
yen, and even possibly against other currencies as well. This situation occurred in
2005, which caused USD/JPY to rally around 1900 pips from the start of the year
to December 2005, as you can see from Figure 5.2. This divergence in monetary
policy between the US and Japan had created a very bullish US dollar sentiment in
the market, attracting more and more traders to long USD/JPY

http://fx-arabia.com/vb/uploaded/178_01292185782.png

So, in general, rising interest rates in a country should boost the market sentiment
regarding the currency of that country
The opposite is true too: when interest rates are cut in a country, that would result
in quite a bearish sentiment regarding the currency of that country, and traders
.would be more willing to sell than buy that particular currency

Economic growth
Besides interest rates, economic growth of countries can also have a big impact on
the overall currency market sentiment
Since the United States has the largest economy in the world, the US economy is a
key factor in determining the overall market sentiment, especially of currency pairs
that have the USD component. A robust economic expansion, coupled with a
healthy labour market, tends to boost consumer spending in that country, and this
helps companies and businesses to flourish. A country with a strong economy is in
a better position to attract more overseas investments into the country, as investors
.generally prefer to invest in a solid economy that is growing at a steady pace
Investments pouring into a country requires the currency of that country to be
bought in exchange of other currencies; this increased demand for that country’s
currency should cause that currency to strengthen against other currencies. Forex
traders, expecting this consequence, will put on their bullish cap to buy that
currency before the investors do
:Some of the most important indicators of a country’s economic growth include
1Gross Domestic Product (GDP
2the unemployment rate, and
3trade balance data
These are explained below

abdellatif 14-12-2010 12:01 AM

رد: Winning Stratgies
 
1GDP
The GDP measures the total value of all goods and services that are originated from
the country; the GDP figure indicates the rate of the country’s expansion or
contraction based on output and growth. A healthy GDP figure usually adds bullish
sentiment to the currency of that country, especially if it exceeds the market’s
expectations
2Unemployment rate
The unemployment data reports the state of the labour market of a country. The
lower the unemployment rate, the more positive it is for the country’s economy, and
hence its currency, as consumers would feel more confident about spending if they
have jobs, and that would eventually impact on companies and businesses in the
country, generating more output
3Trade balance data
Another widely watched economic indicator is the trade balance data. Trade
balance measures the difference between the value of imports and exports of goods
and services of a country. If a country exports more than it imports, it has a trade
surplus. If imports exceed exports, then the country will end up with a trade deficit
which does not bode well for that country’s currency because that currency has to
be sold to buy other foreign currencies in order to pay for those imported goods and
services

For example, if the US imports an increased amount of goods and services from
Europe, US dollars will have to be sold in exchange to buy euros to pay for those
imports. The resulting outflow of US dollars from the United States could
potentially cause a depreciation of the US dollar against the euro or other
currencies, and that can affect market sentiment surrounding the USD. The
opposite scenario is true for a country that is experiencing a trade surplus. However
market sentiment of a currency can still be bullish despite that country having a
trade deficit, as the net amount of trade deficit could be covered by an equivalent
or greater amount of capital investment pouring into that country, and thus would
not be a cause for concern
Geopolitical risks
Geopolitical risk refers to the risk of a country’s foreign or domestic policy
affecting domestic social and political stability in another country or regional zone

Global geopolitical uncertainties such as terrorism, transitional change of
government or nuclear threats can cause investors to lose faith in some particular
currencies, and they may prefer to shift their assets into a safe haven currency when
these circumstances arise. Market sentiment is very sensitive to such geopolitical
developments, and can cause a strong bias towards a particular currency
For example, during periods of high tension in the Middle East in 2006, the market
formed a very bullish sentiment towards the US dollar, which became the preferred
currency to hold in such turbulent times, replacing the traditional status of the
Swiss franc as the safe haven currency. Forex traders should be keenly aware of the
current geopolitical environment in order to keep track of any potential change in
market sentiment, which could impact currency prices

Ways of Measuring Market Sentiment
The mood of the market depends mainly on what the majority of traders think about
the current market situation. But how can you get an idea of the overall sentiment
of the market? You can do so by reading reports by analysts and financial
journalists in news wires or by visiting online trading forums to see what other
traders are discussing. However, these ways of getting a feel of the current market
sentiment are not too accurate; you may think that other traders are in a buying or
selling mood, but that may not be what is really happening in reality. Here are some
:of the more effective ways of gauging market sentiment
1The Commitment of Traders (COT) report

2The market’s reactions to news releases

These are explained in more details below
1Commitment Of Traders (COT) report
?What is the COT
The COT report provides traders with detailed positioning information about the
futures market, and is, in my opinion, one of the most underrated tools that forex
traders can make use of to enhance their trading performance
The report is compiled and released weekly by the Commodity Futures Trading
Commission (CFTC) in the United States every Friday at 15:30 Eastern Time, and
records open interest information about the futures market based on the previous
Tuesday. Anyone can access the COT report for free on the CFTC website
(www.cftc.gov/cftc/cftccotreports.htm)
There are basically two types of reports available: the futures-only COT report and
the futures-and-options-combined COT report. I usually just access the futuresonly
report for a glimpse of what has happened in the futures dimension of the
forex market. In order to get through to the currency futures data, you have to wade
past other commodities like milk, feeder cattle and so on, so a little patience is
required
Even though the data arrives three days late, the information nonetheless can be
helpful since many traders spend their weekend analyzing the COT report. The time
lag between reporting and release is the main handicap of the COT data, but despite
this limitation, you can still use it as a sentiment tool
(Figure 5.3 shows a page from the December 19, 2006, COT report (short format
displaying data for the Chicago Mercantile Exchange’s Euro FX futures contract
You can see the long and short positions held by traders in each of the three main
categories defined by the CFTC, as explained below

Commercial
This group consists of market participants who use the futures contracts for
hedging purposes, and these commercial participants are generally exporters and
importers who are hedging against currency fluctuations. For example, a German
car-maker, who exports to the US, expects to receive 10 million euros worth of
sales within the next quarter. To hedge against the possibility of a US dollar
decline which would affect the amount of euros it would receive once converted
the German car-maker would short 10 million in Euro FX futures. On the other
hand, if a US car manufacturer exports 10 million US dollars worth of cars within
the next quarter, it would long the equivalent in Euro FX futures contracts
Non-commercial
This group consists of large speculators such as hedge funds, banks and so on
who use currency futures just for speculation
Non-reportable
.This group consists of small speculators like retail traders
The COT report tells you the long and short positions undertaken by participants from
each category.When it comes to analyzing information pertaining to currency futures
in the COT report, it is generally more relevant for traders to focus on the noncommercial
participants rather than on the commercial participants. The reason
behind this is that these large speculators trade the futures contractsmainly for profits
and do not have the intention to take delivery of the underlying asset, which in this
case would be cash. On the other hand, commercial participants tend to maintain and
roll over the same amount of contracts from month to month for hedging purposes
even though these positions could be in losses. Large speculators, however, will
.usually close their losing positions instead of rolling them over to the next month
?Why use The COT
The COT report allows you to gauge market sentiment in the currency futures
market, which also influences the spot forex market. Currency futures are basically
spot prices which are adjusted by the forwards (derived by interest rate
differentials) to arrive at a future delivery price. Unlike spot forex which does not
have a centralised exchange at the time of writing, currency futures are cleared at
the Chicago Mercantile Exchange
Price quotation
One of the many differences between spot forex and currency futures lies in their
quoting convention. In the currency futures market, currency futures are mostly
quoted as the foreign currency directly against the US dollar. For example, Swiss
francs are quoted versus the US dollar in futures, unlike the USD/CHF notation in
the spot forex market. So if the Swiss franc falls in value against the US dollar
USD/CHF will rise, and the Swiss franc futures will fall. On the other hand
EUR/USD in spot forex is quoted in the same way as Euro futures, so if the Euro
.appreciates in value, Euro futures will rise just like EUR/USD will go up
That said, spot forex and currency futures do have one similarity: the spot and
futures prices of a currency tend to move in tandem. When either the spot or futures
price of a currency rises, the other also tends to rise, and when either falls, the other
also tends to fall. For example, if the GBP futures price goes up, spot GBP/USD
goes up (because GBP gains in strength). However, if the CHF futures price goes
up, spot USD/CHF goes down (because CHF gains in strength), as both the spot
and futures prices of CHF move in tandem

Using extreme positioning
In the COT report, under each type of currency futures, you can see that the total
contract volume in each category is split up between “long”, “short” and “spreads”
of which the first two are relevant to our analysis. What is of concern to us is
whether the non-commercials are net long or short in that currency futures
In order to determine the volume of contracts that these large speculators are
holding net long or short positions of for that particular currency futures, you just
need to calculate the difference between the longs and shorts, that is, subtract the
number of short contracts from the number of long contracts. A positive figure
shows the number of net long contracts, while a negative figure shows the number
of net short contracts
As you can see in Figure 5.4, the open interest for GBP futures on Tuesday December
19, 2006, was 149,800 contracts which was a decrease of 31,780 contracts from the
previous week. The non-commercials are long 98,434 contracts and short 12,836
(contracts. Therefore, they are overall net long 85,598 contracts (98434 - 12836

Usually, when a particular currency is trending up against the US dollar, the noncommercials
tend to register a net long position since these large speculators tend
to ride on the existing trend. The opposite situation is true too: the non-commercials
tend to register a net short position when a particular currency is trending down
against the US dollar. Knowing whether this category has been net long or short a
few days ago only indicates to us the positioning in retrospect; this information is
only useful if you compare the latest net positioning with the positioning figures
from the past few weeks or months
By comparing the latest net positioning with that of the past few weeks or months
you can tell if the latest net long or net short positioning is skewing towards an
extreme reading. My observation of the financial markets is that dramatic price
moves, usually at major turning points, tend to occur when the majority of the market
is positioned incorrectly. And since the large speculators are more inclined to close
their losing positions than the commercial hedgers, it is beneficial for us to keep an
eye on their net directional positioning as well as their net contract volume in the
currency futures market. If these large non-commercials are positioned on the wrong
side of the market, you can expect liquidation of these positions, with the extent of
liquidation depending on the total volume of contracts traded in the wrong direction
For example, if these large funds are holding large (extreme) net long GBP
positions, but GBP is declining against the US dollar due to some external catalysts
like news, they will eventually have to close their longs when their stops are
triggered, or decide to close their longs before getting stopped out and switch to
shorting GBP on the way down. Such mass unwinding of positions tends to bring
about a powerful price move in the opposite direction which could last for a few
days, and it is this turning point that you could detect with the COT data before the
reversal scene actually plays out
Example: COT – using extreme position
17,2006-An example of this was played out in the week through November 13
. The COT report that was released on November 10
showed that, as of the previous Tuesday on November 7, large
speculative funds upped their net GBP longs to a multi-year high of
+84,280 contracts, a figure which clearly shows up as an extreme
positioning on the chart as shown in Figure 5.5
In this case, all those who had the intention to go long on GBP had
already done so. As a result of this extreme net speculative
positioning of GBP longs on the CME, GBP/USD in the spot market
proceeded to decline by more than 300 pips in the following week
.through November 13-17, 2006 (Figure 5.6

This chart shows the net speculative (
non-commercial) positions in GBP
futures on the CME. X-axis displays the dates for every three weeks even
though the data for every week is shown on the chart. Y-axis displays the net
number of speculative contracts. Positive numbers indicate net long
positioning, while negative numbers indicate net short positioning

In the week following the extreme net long speculative positioning, reflected
by the COT data, GBP/USD fell by 310 pips as seen on this 60-min chart
The presence of an extreme reading allows you to be prepared for a possible trend
reversal which could occur when large speculators liquidate their positions. A mere
increase or decrease of contracts for a particular currency futures does not indicate
anything which could be of predictive value, as it simply shows you what has
happened, but not what could possibly happen in a high-probability scenario
COT data is a diamond in the rough
What deters many traders from using the COT report is its raw organisation of data
but that is not good enough an excuse to completely neglect this little treasure trove
The information from the COT report can be transferred into a spreadsheet so that
further analysis can be conducted in a more suitable format
The COT data itself is not sufficient to generate entry or exit signals, as the report
does not consist of currency price data, but it can generate warning signals of a
possible turn ahead in the spot forex market, and can be used to optimise other
trading strategies you may have so that maximum profits can be reaped from the
market. Analysis of the COT report does not always throw up trading opportunities
in the spot forex market, but when it does, you will be better prepared for a
potential turn of tide, and be more confident in your trades. Even though entries and
exits cannot be timed solely based on the COT data, it can be an extremely useful
.tool to have in your toolbox to gauge the overall market sentiment

2Market’s reactions to news

Another way for traders to gauge the market sentiment is by analyzing how the
market responds to unanticipated news
The forex market is very efficient at discounting future expectations by
incorporating them into current prices. Very often, when news comes out better
than is expected by economists and analysts, the currency of that country is more
likely to soar against another currency. When the news is worse than expected, that
currency is more likely to fall against another currency
However, if the news or data turn out to be worse than expected and still the
currency price soars, that is, the market reacts in a very bullish way to worse than
expected data, a bright red flag should be waving at you. The opposite situation also
applies: if price action remains very bearish to much better than expected news, it
signals a highly suspect price move
In short, you should look out for a contrarian market reaction to better or worse than
expected news. Under these circumstances, it is better to assume that the price
move is hardly supported by substance, and could reverse sometime soon.Abullish
price move that is not accompanied by evidence will soon be due for a reality
check, just like a bearish price move that is not accompanied by evidence is very
likely to be corrected very soon. If you day trade the forex market, you may judge
the market’s reaction based on one piece of news, but if you position trade, monitor
the market’s reactions to several news to see if the responses are still contrary
For example, if a piece of news turns out to be worse than expected, and assuming
that there are no pre-release rumours or leaks of the news, and the currency pair
rallies to break above a significant resistance level, you have reasons to suspect that
the breakout move is likely to be false and unsustainable. Even if the currency pair
manages to make new highs later on, you should be prepared for a possible trend
reversal very soon. Monitoring the market’s reactions to news can enable traders to
identify corrective moves in the forex market
Not all news items get the same amount of attention from big market players; news
relating to the job or housing market usually get more attention. The relative
.significance of news will vary from time to time

Summary
As you have seen, market sentiment can be used, and should be used, to time your
trade and identify profitable trading conditions. The Market Sentiment Strategy has
to be applied in conjunction with other strategies as it does not have precise entry
and exit signals. By making use of information on the net speculative positioning
of currency futures and by observing the market’s reactions to news, you will be
better equipped to gauge the market sentiment and will be able to use that extra
edge to help you see what is actually happening or is going to happen in the spot
forex market. Once you get a sense of the current market sentiment, you can then
decide whether it is best to trade with or against the sentiment, taking into account
all other factors
While it may be sensible to trade in the direction of the current sentiment
sometimes, trading against the sentiment can also be a profitable strategy, provided
that you have valid reasons to do so. For example, when the COT report indicates
extreme positioning of the market, or when the market seems to be feeding off false
euphoria on worse than expected news, it may be better to trade against the overall
sentiment. You should, however, wait for a more precise signal that the current
sentiment is wearing off before going against it, as sometimes false euphoria can
last for quite some time before resulting in a reversal. This signal could be a failed
breakout of some sort or some other pattern failure
Always keep in mind that currency prices are, after all, the expressed perceptions
of traders and market sentiment is really the blood that drives the market on the
"whole. Using the Market Sentiment Strategy can help you identify the “what
whether to go long or short of a currency); while technical analysis shows you the)
when” by helping to pinpoint the price you should enter or exit your positions"

Strategy 2
Trend Riding

؟Who doesn’t like a trend
;Many traders live by the often-repeated “the trend is your friend until the end” rule
they are comforted with the knowledge that they are with the majority of the
market. Being able to ride on a trend is akin to making full use of the wind direction
to steer your ship towards your destination. For a ship to go against the wind
requires a tremendous amount of effort – one has to fight the stubborn resistance
from the opposing wind. Indeed, for most of the time, it pays more to be on the side
of the current trend than to go against it. In the forex market, trend riders can
capture any trend regardless of whether it is rising or falling in an attempt to
generate trading profits

Forex tends to have quite trending markets, regardless of which time frame you are
looking at – trends are often formed on hourly, daily or weekly charts. This is due
to the fact that currency price movements are very much influenced by the
underlying macroeconomic factors which in turn shape the market players’ views
of where currency prices should be heading. With trends possibly having a long
lifespan stretching to months, or even years, it is no wonder that many traders and
fund managers exalt the strategy of hitching onto trends, with the glorious aim of
capturing enormous profits from start to finish
Trend riding is one of my favourite trading approaches, and I often ride the uptrend
or downtrend after the trend has been established, rather than anticipating the move
before it happens. I would say that even though the trend is your friend most of the
times, one has to use a variety of methods to distinguish between a continuation of
the trend and a possible trend reversal. But before you can ride on trends, you first
need to identify what the current trend is, and to determine the time frame of
the trend
Time Frames of Trends
Sometimes, people ask me for my opinion on the current trend for certain currency
pairs, I reply with another question in return, “According to the past 5 mins, 5
hours, 5 days or 5 weeks?” Some traders are not aware that different trends exist in
different time frames. The question of what kind of trend is in place cannot be
separated from the time frame that a trend is in. Trends are, after all, used to
determine the relative direction of prices in a market over different time periods
:There are mainly three types of trends in terms of time measurement
(1primary (long-term
2intermediate (medium-term), and
. 3short-term
These are discussed in further detail below
1Primary trend
Aprimary trend lasts the longest period of time, and its lifespan may range between
eight months and two years. This is the major trend that can be spotted easily on
longer term charts such as the daily, weekly or monthly charts. Long-term traders
who trade according to the primary trend are the most concerned about the
fundamental picture of the currency pairs that they are trading, since fundamental
factors will provide these traders with an idea of supply and demand on a bigger
scale

2Intermediate trend
Within a primary trend, there will be counter-cyclical trends, and such price
movements form the intermediate trend. This type of trend could last from a month
to as long as eight months. Knowing what the intermediate trend is of great
importance to the position trader who tends to hold positions for several weeks or
months at one go

3Short-term trend
A short-term trend can last for a few days to as long as a month. It appears during
the course of the intermediate trend due to global capital flows reacting to daily
economic news and political situations. Day traders are concerned with spotting
and identifying short-term trends and as such short-term price movements are
aplenty in the currency market, and can provide significant profit opportunities
within a very short period of time
No matter which time frame you may trade, it is vital to monitor and identify the
primary trend, the intermediate trend, and the short-term trend for a better overall
picture of the trend
