We will talk about trading currencies, cryptocurrencies and other assets in Russia. - Hello Dmitry. How did it happen that you got acquainted with trading on financial markets? - Greetings! My acquaintance with financial markets and trading has been, on the one hand, by accident, but on the other hand, quite natural. But I didn't understand it at once, of course. In my childhood and adolescence I watched movies like "Wall Street" and "Trading Places", read Dreiser's "The Financier", etc. It's true that I didn't immediately understand the main messages of these works either, but what impressed me was...

Every trader coming to the foreign exchange market starts his or her acquaintance with the market with supports and resistances. The success of an open deal depends on the correct identification of the levels. There are many strategies built on the principle of breaking through important technical levels or rebounding from them. However, not all of them will taste the same and they mainly differ in their strength. Support and resistance levels can be roughly divided into 6 types, which we will classify in order of increasing strength. Air Levels The air level of support or resistance is named because it is formed "flat". It is formed when the bodies or tails of at least four candles bounce from one and the same candle.

If you've ever seen charts of the dynamics of financial instruments for trading (currency pairs, stocks, futures, etc.), you've wondered: "How can I make money on it?" The short answer to such a question is: "Buy when the price starts going up and sell when it starts going down." It would seem that everything is easy and simple! But then the question arises, "How do you know if the price has started to rise or fall?" And this, in fact, is one of the most important questions in trading. Thanks to scientific and technological progress, modern traders have a fairly large arsenal of methods and technical devices for rapid analysis of the market situation.

Money management is one of the cornerstones of trading on , and without following its rules, profitable trading is simply not possible. Whatever your trading strategy, your profits will depend on how you manage your trades and limit your risks. There are dozens of money management models, but the approaches to trade support can be roughly divided into two major groups: limiting losses and loss waiting tactics. Everything is clear with the limiting loss tactics: when opening a deal a stop-loss order is placed which closes it with a fixed loss if the price moves in the opposite direction to the one predicted.

Elliott Wave Theory is a very interesting tool for market analysis. Often in various forecasts and analytical reviews there are the concepts of impulse and correction waves. But is the wave analysis of the market really so accurate and able to predict the further behavior of prices? I have a pessimistic answer to this question. Difficulties of wave analysis Firstly, the Elliott Wave Theory is quite difficult to study. Sometimes it is very difficult to determine the start of the first impulse wave, and for some pairs it is almost impossible. Secondly, it is impossible to use the wave theory in its pure form. It is accompanied by Fibonacci levels. But even that is not enough. Technical analysis closely cooperates with the wave theory: channels, technical patterns and...

Sooner or later every trader faces the question: is it worth it? The question is about the comparability of spent time and efforts to the received material benefits. Undoubtedly, this question is more likely to arise for a beginner. You have to be stubborn enough to continue trading despite of successive financial losses and disappointments. The process of becoming a trader passes through several stages: The initial stage when a beginner is trying to grasp the immensity.

The stage of professional maturity. At this stage, the trader is characterized by patience in achieving his goal...

There are a lot of tips for trading in the foreign exchange market, but they are all general in nature, so beginners break them. But you have to know the measure in everything. Over a year of trading, I have formed some opinions about trading, and I want to share my small experience with some tips for beginners. Everybody advises to try out a trading strategy and to start trading on a demo account. In my opinion, you have to learn how to press buttons on a demo account, all the rest you have to learn on a real account. Of course, it should be cent accounts. Yes, trading requires an investment. But let it be 10-20 dollars which will not bring you considerable financial inconvenience in case of loss. Again.

[info_block align="right"]Experts call it "unethical SMM" (Social Media Marketing) or "guerrilla marketing" (Hidden Marketing).[/info_block] Choosing a broker is not an easy thing. Most beginners bring their money to the brokerage company they just liked - whether the office is nearby, or a beautiful girl-manager smiled and accepted them as their relative - reasons, as a rule, subjective, can be very many. The more advanced beginners search the forums and read the reviews about the brokers.

To many traders the analysis of technical indicators seems to be a holy grail. Like, if the classical analysis didn't work out, then the complex magical indicators will bring profit. After all the computer builds them, and the computer is smarter than the man. Why am I selling you, Burenka? Since the first day when I learned about technical/computer indicators I always wondered why their creators sell little cows which give milk by the ton? For me, the answer is simple, in fact, in a standard layout and in standard application indicators do not know how to give more money than the methods of classical technical analysis. They are good for those who expect a modest return of 30-40% per annum...
