Currency Forecasting - Not For The Feint Hearted

Currency Forecasting is an important resource in the quest to develop a better understanding of the diverse forces which influence rates of currency exchange throughout the world.

The art of currency forecasting advocates using an approach which comprises a combination of both technical and fundamental analysis. To provide a framework for effective decisions in this complex field, a good currency forecasting system needs to keep the operator informed with respect to both the world markets and intricate other factors that cause currency fluctuations.

Foreign exchange markets are influenced by changing relationships between countries and also internal situations such as the state of economies and changes of Governments. Even climatic variations have been shown to cause currency fluctuations.

Many professional currency traders use these fundamental aspects as the basis for decision making whereas others base their trades on mathematical models such as the Fibonacci ratios which have stood the test of many years. Fibonacci traders use mathematical models which indicate levels of resistance and support for various currencies at certain prices.

From my experience, I would recommend that you adopt a plan and stick to it whether you decide to use either fundamental of charting models. Search the internet for proven methods and consider undertaking a training course to expand your knowledge.

When you gain confidence and are ready to make your first investment make it a small one...or better still, make "paper trades" to test the value of your method.

You will hear stories of people who make huge profits with smart currency forecasting and trading but remember, for every winner, there is a corresponding loser. Good Luck
